TOYING AROUND with WING GUNDAM Ver. KA

With vacations and get-a-ways happening and being planned, an on-and-off relationship with my model kits is inevitable. Not to mention I haven't been to managing my pre-orders. T_T

The Wing Gundam Ver. Ka I've been working on has already been postponed three times!

I'm just glad I had free time last Friday (my boss told me to skip work). I got to do Wing the whole day!

And because I'm such a slow noob worker, I only got to finish the unit - the awesome weapons and shield are left to be established another time....

So while those are waiting, I captured some noob shots of the Wing Gundam.
These are from my Instagram.

Panel lining - first of joys.

Sailormoon Super!!!

Balance Test!!!

Epyon vs. Wing

Seeing the Wing Gundam Ver Ka

Easter Sunday is always a relief.

Early today me and my extended fam were out walking around this sweet mountaintop golf course in one of the country's cool tourist cities.

Anyways. Enjoyed a lot but suffered some cause you know, its a walk. Haha

Well, before I head back to my day job in the big Makati City tomorrow, I thought I'd share my latest development with the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka. Not that it's that big of an addition. LOL Noob alert!

As I completed the torso and arms yesterday, I pulled out my camera and started to fool around.

Birdie!

It reminds me of SailorMoon uniforms. LOL

You fold 'em down for when you transform into Bird Mode! Coolness

One does not simply imitate a very famous meme.

Come on, man, I'm not even complete yet!

BFFs!

Literally "hanging" around with good ol' buddy Epyon!

Well, now that the holidays are officially over, I'm gonna head out to the real world once again. I'll be coming back to finish him off next weekend! (I hope!).

And here's a view from today's getaway! My first time riding a funicular! >_<

Going down, motherfuckers!

Thank You Jesus - Work Begins for the WING GUNDAM VerKa

It's an official holiday here in almost-Catholic Philippines as we remember how Jesus died on the cross to save our ungrateful sinful souls.

Yes, and thanks to Him, day jobs are out for four days since yesterday and hobbies (and yes paying homage to Christ) are definitely in!

I thank God I can now have time to finally begin work with the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka. The poor kit has been sitting idle on my desk for a month now, excruciatingly waiting for me to open it's box, slash the plastics and cut off its runners!

Well, having done the usual morning routine (wake up late, eat lunch, fit puzzles on this damn 1000-piece puzzle my fam are working on), I finally picked up the huge white box. Armed with my pink box of tools, I settled outside to do my assembly. As you may well know, March is the start of a scorching hot summer in the tropics - people are outside their homes because the heat is awfully mighty! Good thing this day offered even some not-so-cool wind to ease the hotness. Come to think of it, I might even start on spraying top coat on my Exia... nah!

Ahhh. The plastic has breathed! 

LO and BEHOLD, I fucking LOVE the fucking COLORS!

Look at that awesome BLUE! And that spellbinding YELLOW! And the fantastic RED!

Aw. GUNDAM is always awesomeness in a box. It's like Christmas every damn time.

The manual is promising a lot of gimmicks to this kit. 

Having done the torso first and foremost, as the writing has indicated, the machine cannons has me on "what sorcery is this?!"! I really really believe I am going to enjoy this kit. Although something tells me there's gonna be some problem on the dry transfer decals....hmmm.

Hullo there machine cannons!

Anyway, as I have promised my Mum that I shall accompany her on the Annual Good Friday afternoon procession, I have only accomplished building the torso and the head. I decided to panel line the head with black ink I used for architectural projects (yes, I am a licensed architect by profession). I hate having to buy Gundam markers this early on my hobby. The black ink looks fine for now. Plus, I'm vying for the anime look, hehe.  

To be honest, I realized I am an extremely slow builder. I take my time since I am a newbie. We have to take time to relish this wonder that is Gunpla, don't you think? Hay, it puts me on a poetic spell.

Fuck you too panel line. 

This can be better.

V Fins. Don't leave home without it.

Well, one thing's for sure, though - I suck at close-up pictures.

Err, I wonder how many posts will this build take? Hihihi 

Thank you, Jesus!

MG EPYON OZ-13MS - POSING TIME

 My first time using lights. I suck at it.

Well, here goes.

He is quite bulky.

reminds me of Prince Cedie, hihihih

Ooo, Close up.

aww yiiis.

I was having a hard time posing him but I was laughing all the way.

Halfway through, my action base collapsed, so I made do.
He was just sitting here.

Neo-Zeon!

All in all, I had fun! Despite my action base giving up (the Epyon was quite heavy), I think I took decent poses of him. I really have to learn lighting techniques.... The whole time I was posting this, my brother is screaming "NOOB!". Well, duh?!

I'll probably be posting more of him next week... hihihi Still have a lot of great poses I think he can do!


Now it's time for the next kit who's been waiting his turn....^o^

Getting Over You Getting Over Me

I still haven't finish having fun with the Trans-Am Exia. Hey, its PINK! So.

My best close-up...aaaand its dusty T_T

I had fun with her and the Epyon.

Here's some cute captures.

"So I was like, yeah, I can sit okay."

"She totally has no confidence in me."

"You must be so angry." -Exia

~ I can show you the world....~

"Let's go to Starbucks or something."

MG Epyon OZ-13MS takes flight...meh

Well, since I still can't find the decals for this kit, I decided I might as well have fun in the mean time!

I edit my photos most of the time (since I'm such a crappy shooter, plus I'm using an average 10MP digicam).

I really love the colors of this kit and the fact that it can transform made it more adorable.

Here's a starting photo. Edited, of course.

Shine bright like a diamond!

And one shot transformed.

RAWR!!!

That would be it for now. Time is actually not on my side this weekend... hay. Adult life is harsh >_<
You can find more edited pics on my Instagram, care of my widget on the right side of this blog. hihihi
Yep, like a boss but really a newbie. Haha. I laught at myself sometimes.
