A Sick Sinanju Painted Build

Seeing that my post for the Sinanju OVA vs Ver. Ka has been kind of popular (based on my view chart, anyway) and I haven't been posting anything since forever, I am now sharing you what has recently caught my attention in the Gundam Modelling World care of Gundam Guy's blog post!

It's not every day your jaw drops and puke rainbows after seeing something awesome.

Look at those awesome details!!!

Well, I guess someone DID have time for that!!! Those meme pictures say outright how i fucking feel.
If you want to feel the same or more, go visit Gundam Guy's post Sinanju Ver. Ka Painted Build.

Seig Zeon!

11/13/13 Update: Hey how about a Geara Doga in Full Frontal Red? takechako did an awesome job customizing his build!

More WING!

Hello, internet. Haha. Internet.. Meh.

Wow! Its been weeks (!) since I last posted, and I'm still going to post Wing Gundam shots! This time though, I took time to put him on a stand. But that is where all my efforts stop because I was anxious and so I disregard the background - I was also watching Game of Thrones! Silly me. hihi

I didn't even had time to edit them on Photoshop.

Hot days like these (its freaking summer in the Philippines), I get all lazy. Meh.

Now, Epyon's got a playmate and my one shelf space is getting full because their wings take so much space! Haha

Its a stand-off!

Blah, blah, blah, blah...

Meh.

I had trouble with pointing the Buster Rifle, it keeps pointing down .

See? Come to think of it, the box photos show it that way also. Hmm...

I really like the look of the Bird Mode. Its one thing I like with Gundam Wing units - transformation!

Zwing!

I almost cried putting on the dry transfers. It was hell.

So, the glass table effect has awesomeness to it.

The Buster Rifle. Brings terror just by looking at it...meh!

I never had time posing Wing Gundam to its glorified effects... I... I... I got lazy...!!! huhuhuhu

But look who was brought in to the office last week?!

Eggzoiting!!! ^____________^


I took a photo of my small collection. This one is from my Instagram. I think I have to get another shelf... (I'm sharing the bookshelf with my engineer mom, hence the cylinders). Featuring my other toys, POP Batman, Ketchup Bottle Chowder and Annoying Yashichi from Mirmo!

Those top coats need to be used! hah! One of these days, I guess. 

WING GUNDAM Ver Ka and a Heartwarming Like from my Little Cousin

So I just realized that Ver Ka's are for standing poses. Well, that lot's a bit of a downer.

But I still love this model, the colors are so fucking bright! It's an awesomely candy colored figure! It stands out actually.

I'm still a way off from completing this though, the shield and the rifle are still waiting for assembly.

Well, I completed the gundam unit just days ago, and here's some annoying unartistic photos which despite the lack of focus, I like to show around. Some of it you've seen from my last post, I guess. Haha.

Like the Epyon, I posed him like Prince Cedie without his Wings.

Just posing him that way looks a bit awkward...

Much better!

Way out of focus, girl!

Nice, nice...

"OMG, where's my V-fin?!"

Sitting pretty! ^_^

I tried doing what Gaijin Gunpla does on his models.
He absolutely stood there all day like that.

While I was having fun posing him around (well, taking different angles of one pose is more like it), his v-fin keep falling off so I did the best thing and super glued it to that mofo of a head.

The decals are going to come in later, I read they were a pain in the ass to stick on, especially they were absolutely minute details. Seems exciting!

Yesterday, my brother celebrated his 20th birthday, and relatives came to party. One little cousin of mine, Deus, was excited to see my small collection and wanted to get his picture taken with the set. He was all smiles looking and pointing at the mecha and I could really see his amazement! And for that one brief moment, I could almost say, "This is why I build Gunpla." Here's his pic!

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.

SINANJU OVA vs Ver Ka

Remember how I went crazy for buying the MG Sinanju Ver Ka?

Well, I got crazier when Bandai released the MG Sinanju OVA - RECENTLY!

Gaijin Gunpla has reviewed it and even compared the two!

Here's the motherfucking link to his oh-awesome review:  MG Sinanju OVA Review by Gaijin Gunpla

Well, it turns out it will just be a matter of choice for a noob like me if I'm ever gonna get the model kit.

 Look at them! At first glance, you wouldn't know the difference.

Not that I'm all for the OVA's box art, but I can't deny how bad ass it is.

A Sick Sinanju Ver Ka. Painted Build

11/13/13 Update: Hey how about a Geara Doga in Full Frontal Red? takechako did an awesome job customizing his build!

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!

Sinanju Drives Me Crazy

So, as usual, I go over to Gaijin Gunpla's site to get me my review fix. It has been my past time when I'm not busy (!?) at the office. The one review I've been going over and over again is the one for the MG Sinanju Ver. Ka. I believe it is such a fantastic kit, I must have it in the near future - where every move I make shall be planned and concise as to bring it to its deserved awesomeness. *_*

Gaijin Gunpla's MG Sinanju Ver. Ka

Well, you can imagine my excitement after reading Gaijin's review - this other review punched the kebabs out of me (!): MG Sinanju Titanium Finish Review by Zane Gunpla. I am so impressed by how it was completed, it actually took my breathe away. It made me fall in love with the kit even more!!!

The dreamer that I am, I checked out both of their prices online. And then the dream faded away instantly.
Aw. *crazy laughing*

Anyway, I still got the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka to get back to by the weekend!!! Aw! And below is Gundam Guy's painted build that is totally awe-inspiring!

Gundam Guy's MG  Wing Gundam Ver. Ka

SUMMER is for GUNPLA!

MARCH is the start of SUMMER here in our side of the Pacific!

And one thing you can remember in SUMMER: SALE!

Promos abound the networks starting this month until the rainy season in AUGUST!

Let's see...

Well my suki (patronized) store, is already promoting their sale on model kits and figures. Prices are reeeeeeally down! They even literally "slashed" the prices on the site just to prove it. Hehehe

Most of the items are now Php 500 or 300 less

Oh, well, I'm hoping I'd get a chance to buy this time - what with all the expenses on planned travels and outings to cool off the scorching heat of the season. >_<

Aww, Fantasy mode on. *_*

I would really like to get these kits for my boring-nothing-else-to-do summer days (as boring as my day job would permit it):

Just look at those curves.

Heavyarms. 'Nuff said.

Because, I'm in love with Char.

Maybe you noticed, all my wanted kits are bulky - and a bit on the red. I think I'm starting on the "red" side of the Gundam color wheel (if there ever is one). The only MG kit I have on the normal blue-red-white color scheme is the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka and it's a work-in-progress. I'm very excited about it, actually.

I also want to try out putting on top coat on my existing kits - I've bought three cans already and they're sitting idly back home. There's a lot of tutorial on the web. I wonder when I'll be able to do that...

Anyways, these days are full of day-job responsibilities. I'm betting I won't be able to finish the Wing till the end of the month. Aw.
