MG Zeta Gundam 1.0 - Amuro version

Update.

Yup. I had an opportunity to work on a Master Grade Zeta Gundam version 1.0 (it's one of the earliest MG kits...). My good friend manage to get a good deal out of this and he has asked me to paint it with a very interesting color scheme. But there was something different about this guy...

It had 'blings'.

Uh huh it was one of those special plated versions. And I for one, am a true hater of 'blings'. So getting a chance to un-'bling' this guy was a dream come true...hahahahaha...

So sanded most of the surface and primed it. Then applied the colors.

Here it is in all it's un-'bling' glory...LOL...

There you all go. My friend loved it so much and to be honest, so did I.

It's good to do Gunpla again. Don't you think so? ;)

Blast From The Past - MG Freedom Gundam

The Year: 2006

Again another blast from the past posting. Dug into my archive and here I found another Gunpla build of mine that could have been one of my earliest airbrushed works. And me being a big fan of the Freedom Gundam (the mecha okay, not the pilot!) I wanted to make sure that this fella was done right...(on another note...I hate the Strike Freedom..bah!)

Didn't do any changes to the original paint scheme...the only details I did was added some extra decals. And so here it is...the 2006 version of the Master Grade Freedom...

(Don't bother with the panel lines and rough surface...it was half a decade ago okay...LOL)

So...What happened to this kit? It was sold a while back. Quite cheap. Yes. At that time I wasn't sure how much it was worth, and since it was one of my earlier airbrushed kit...I wasn't that confident with the pricing of my work.

Now it's different. Heh.

And stay tune, my wife got me another MG Freedom Gundam...So let's see how I do after 5 years of airbrushing and modeling...

And that was...2006.

Cheers!

Update!

Well, again here I am posting another one of my works. If some noticed that my blog seems to have slowed down in the postings of new works. Please note that I am still doing a bunch of stuffs. Yes, I'm taking a hiatus from Transformers repainting (and there are still coming despite that! But I'm choosing my works and clients now...). Lately I've been dabbling in military builds. Yep.

Along the years of doing Gunpla modeling, I've always wanted to try out this kind of builds. It's a different way of modeling where you have to take into account real world physics to actually build them.

And that's where the fun was!

Here today I post my first military build. Before this I have been doing some experimental stuff on other kits, but here I have actually done one...heh...

Before anything, please note that my client wasn't sure of what I can do so he asked me to do light weathering and nothing heavy. And I was glad that he gave me the trust to work on it. Despite being my first military kit, I wanted to make sure that he was happy.

Enough talk, here it is...

There it is...next posting for tomorrow would be the Panzer!

MG RX-178 Mk II A.E.U.G

Update!

After a very long hiatus from doing Gunpla or Gundam Plastic model kits, I'm finally back into the field. Don't worry, its not that I'm leaving from doing Transformer repaints and kitbashes...just wanted to take a short breather and do something that was and shall forever be my passion.

How did I come back? I'd say it would be due to my wife. You see, she is a strong supporter of my hobbies. She's been the one that always kept me in check and despite not knowing much about gundams, she would ask me once in awhile the history or storyline of a particular robot.

Last few months she bought me an MG Astray Blue Frame (there will be a posting about this fella soon...) and that got the ball rolling. I felt alive again after hitting the kitbashing wall. Snap fitted the fella and I felt good...so I got myself more Master Grade kits...and from there on...heh...

Well, I cheated a bit since this particular kit was built awhile back but I couldn't find the time to actually finish him properly...it was just putting on some decals and a nice clear coat to top it off.

So, I dug out my decal set and worked on the fella. And that my dear friends, of how I got myself back into Gunpla.

Stay tune...more to come...can we say...F91?
