MG RGM-79C Powered GM

Update!

Here's something that I've been doing for a very very very long time. Yes, I think close to almost 2 years or so...actually it was prepped ready to be painted, but yeah, it took a while.

Anyhoo, I got this kit from a friend of mine. He had the MG RGM-79C and a 3rd party upgrade kit to make it into the Powered GM. When I first saw the kit, it was in a pretty bad shape. Just trying my luck, I asked if he wanted to sell it...and to my happiness he said yes.

Now, I've always like the RGM mechas from the Gundam series. I think they kinda kick ass. They ain't no Gundam, but they were cool. And one of my favourites was the Powered GM. I had the 1/144 HGUC version which to me was fantastic, but I liked my bots to be big. So having this MG version was dream come true. But it took me awhile (for me, 2 years for a personal project is 'awhile'...heh) to work on it until the end. Cleaned it up, stripped the paint. Fix some of the internal parts to have it tight again. And after working on it bit by bit...it was done. My last batch of flat clear coating was used to finalise this guy.

Alrights. That's one gunpla kit down. More to go...

Master Grade GAT-X102 Duel Gundam

Update!

Another forgotten post. LOL. A friend actually asked me if I've built any of the new MG Gundam Seed mechas, and I said 'yeah...lookit up on my blog man...'

But there wasn't any, except for the conversion duel that I did awhile back.

So here I am, posting it now. After...jeez I can't remember how long.

Alright, what's the story? When it was first announced that the Duel Gundam was coming out, I think I was the few that cried out in glee. As a tear dropped, I vowed to get one for myself. You see I've always been a fan of the Duel Gundam. Aside from the Strike (which IMHO is one of the most nicely designed gundams) the Duel was always my second choice. And after almost a year it was announced, it finally came out. I grabbed one for myself and took it home to build it with careful and ease. I wanted to paint it, but due to work constraints...I had to hold on to that.

Until a good buddy of mine asked if I could paint it for him. He's built it, but needs the necessary paints to get it looking good. And with a big smile, I agreed...

The paint apps for this guy is actually interesting. Firstly, the Duel isn't white or gray. He's actually on a very light tone of gray...I made the assaultshroud armour a little bit darker since i wanted it to go with a military feel to it. (It's going to be repainted soon since my friend wanted it to be lighter...)

Okay, so here it is...

Will be sharing more Gunpla works soon once I'm done with a few more. Yep, it's been Gunpla months for me lately.

See you when I see you!

MG GP03S - RKD Styling

Update!

Alright, looks like I'm back into Gunpla, since my last Gunpla post was way back in March this year...lol.

So who is it to mark me coming back after some time? The GP03. Funny that I've had this kit like 3 times, and all of them I sold before getting a chance to do one for myself. And here, another GP03...but it belongs to my best friend who commissioned me to work on it. He's a pretty busy man, so what are friends for right?

Okay, so I kinda opt for a different approach for this guy. Did some different paint styles to him since I wanted to make it different from the normal out of box design. The inner parts or joints are painted with gunmetal silver of my own mixture. And the white areas are given a slight pre-shade, so it won't have that sparkly white look...and decals, well I had some extra Ka. stickers that was lying around...so why not? Heh.

MG GP03S

Alright...enough for now. Next up will be the MG S-Gundam, but with resin conversions. Muahahahahaha...

Peace out and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MG Zetaplus C1

Update!

Another Gundam build I did awhile back. Actually this guy was finished way back but I kinda forgot where I stashed the pictures. Yeah, I got hidden compartments on my laptop. Anyhoo, this is how he looks like before being painted. (My wife suggested I do a before and after thing going on here...)

And this is how he looks like after. Just changed the blue color scheme and tried out this new gray scheme I wanted to do. Here he is.

MG Zetaplus C1

The Zetaplus C1 is a transformable mecha. And you must be wondering, where's his alternate mode? Heh...Sorry, I sort of forgot to take photos of it. LOL...

Ciao Bello!

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'.

(photo courtesy of dalong.net)

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? ;)
