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

Mr. Pink tried using 'Future' Pledge :D

I was looking for a cheap alternative for gloss topcoat to do my panel wash on my IJ since Bosny's Clear Gloss is too thick for me, and remembered that I saw on sir DC23's blog that he uses this Future Pledge to do the job, also, I asked sir T.V.A. *The Virgin Angel* with regards to using Pledge/Future for topcoating before panel wash..and I bought one right away XD..anyway, here are the photos of what I did on some scraps XD.. What I did was painted the part chrome and then, applied Future/Pledge on it.. Verdict: Seriously, it's so EASY to use. You don't have to do something like mix it with other stuffs before applying on the kit. You don't have to even worry about brush marks/strokes since it's self leveling. And it's shiny! XD So, if you guys are looking for a cheap alternative for your gloss coat, I highly recommend this one XD.. Till then! :D

HG Shaldoll Ver. Odium WIP #01

Did something to my HG Shaldoll :D (This is btw, our Brando Bell Group Build) First of, this is what I plan on doing on it's backpack. Next, I did some cutting on the backpack in order for me to attach the thing that will hold the TA's boosters. Then I trimmed down the part that will hold the Tactical Arm's boosters, so it can fit in. I then attached the boosters on the backpack of the Shaldoll. Next is, I worked on the head. The eye lens for me is too big, so I decided to make it a bit smaller somehow :). Using a .5mm HIPS (High Impact Plastic Sheets) I did this. Sanded the putty I applied, and primed it to see if there are still something to work on. Still needs a lot of work on the head though haha :)). Removed the design on the body, and replaced it with a koto part. And oh! Look! It can transform now! haha! I also added wings on the shoulder armor, still working on it. Till next update~
