WIP: Strike Freedom [Full Burst Mode]

I've finally decided to paint my MG Strike Freedom FBM; and actually, this is my second attempt to paint a kit. I didn't finished my first one, and there's nothing wrong on my first one, except for the nearest DIY/Hardware Shop in my place. Why? they don't have the paints I needed for the color scheme for that kit. And I lived at Zambales, there's no hobby shop here, no where to buy authentic/original Bandai kit. I have to get myself to manila, which is 400php away from here lol. So the project was stopped :P

Anyway, before I plan on priming the whole kit [the armor parts], I still need to do a lot of nubmarks fixing! Since when I assembled this kit, it's actually the first time I used a cutter and messed up a bit xD. I found/learned this "technique' from a thread @ MechaPinoy, and asked some of my friends who are modelers if this is effective enough to fix a very nasty nubmark(s).

Well, so far so good :)...Below are pictures from what I did the WHOLE day lol



First of, prepare the tools and the Kit [of course! lol]!!


Started dis-assembling the right arm and sanded the nubmarks :)

Putty session!!!!


ugh!...I hate this part..SANDING the parts! lol

A quick comparison from the V-fin before ;)

Chest armor parts!


I broke this part while sanding :(( *silly me*.. so I glued it back :)



That's it for this day! will update this WIP as much as I can! I really wanna do finish this one XD

MG Blitz Gundam Ver. Amuro

Hello! My long gunpla break is over. And yes, finally done working with this guy! This kit also marks my return in Gunpla after going on a hiatus for almost a year and a half (moved to playing airsoft) . Photo(s) we're taken by " Modus " (of ModPink Design Studios), a very close friend of mine (He's like my brother from another mother hehe). Everything we're hand-painted using Tamiya Acrylics. And I swear, this will also be the last time I'll handpaint using Tamiya paints. I will be switching over to either Citadel and/or Vallejo paints. Tamiya paints gave me a headache. Seriously, I have to strip and paint most of the parts OVER AND OVER AGAIN just to make it right. Weathered the kit because I plan on making or putting it on a diorama. Not sure when, but you bet I'll work on it after my next build. Anyway, I now present to you... My MG Blitz Ver. Amuro! Thanks for viewing~ Still need to work on my h...

WIP: Operation AMRe: MG ARF 05

Hi guys! Been busy fixing stuffs on our newly opened shop! anyway, I did some updates on the project. Started working on the MG 00Q I got a month ago. Yep! MG 00Q, don't get confused because the MG 00Q is actually part of the project :D..so here's what I did: The idea is to make the 00Q heavily damaged. Did initial damages on the cockpit, and checked if the knife of my ARF will fit in. Then I used a pentel pen to mark which and where will the damage be placed :D And here's the final result(s): Will still add damages on the head though :)..and will work on some internal details to make it more...realistic(?) lol..anyway, that's it for this update! till then! :D

MG Red Frame Astray Ver. AMRe

Looooooooooong overdue. My first modded kit actually, and it's a bit sloppy. I also tried using the 'Scopa Decal Paper' to make my own custom decals, and won't be using them again. Had a bad experience working on the Scopa Decals <_< And so, I present to you this kit. A sloppy kit with a lot of noob-ish mistakes.
