December 2011 Hauls..

December is here again.. Christmas time for everybody.. kids and hobbyist alike.. hunting and looking for new hauls in time with the Holiday spirit.

Spending some Christmas revelry with friends and from the workplace.. December is quite one of the busiest month of the year. Its also the worst day for shopping on Holiday's rush.

Without further ado, lets walk down the memory aisle as i have been busy working, finishing backlogs and collecting new hauls this time of year.
  

Hauls: SD Wing, Pink Bearguy, RG Freedom (from Zerofour Gundam)

Completed my Tamiya Polishing Compound set, thanks again  Zerofour (highy appreciated man!!)

Twas so hard to find a 1/144 Wet transfer decal, this one is from Toys R' Us, Galleria. By the way, most of this stuff (decal and action base) are well hidden and undisplayed intentionally. So if you're looking for this one, you can simply ask those person who are in charge of the Gundam section. It goes the same with SM Toy kingdom, Megamall.

 Jagd Doga Quess / Gyunei - both came from Ninong Toys.

How sweet it is that i have won this Pink Bearguy from our 1st Gunpla Meister Christmas party.. 

This will be my 1st RG. Quite awesome in terms of detail and gimmickry. I might say that it is really a mixture of an MG / PG kit in a HG scale. 2 thumbs up on this one.

Sandpaper cloth, i haven't use this yet, so a review might pop out on my succeeding WIP.

SD Wing from Mykel (GM Admin) - addition to my 2 SD kit. Well, this is where my learning and experience comes in, testing different techniques in everything gunpla related stuff (seamline removal, painting, etc)

And lastly, paints from Lil's, Megamall (Tamiya Spray can) and ACE Hardware, Megamall (Bosny Spray Can).

Oh, i almost forgot.. Tieren Space Commander from Great Toys Online, Greenhills.

Tis the season to be jolly.. ^^

Thanks for watching..

Special Day: 11-20-11 RX-0 Unicorn

11-19-11.. i started unpacking Unicorn and cleanup all sprues/runner, soaked in warm water and soap to remove the oil used from the manufacturing process.

Then hang-up to dry outside on a cool afternoon breeze.

One fine, normal afternoon which is best suited for spray painting.. but that's another story.

Preppin' the tools for build..

This time though, i followed the instruction manual faithfully..

Chest part done, nice and slow, clean of nubs..

Another angle, this time showing off its psychoframe..

Quite a trick here, pinkish projection and a clean mug shot on the other..

Arms ready.. skirts on the way..

Skirts done.. now, don't get too excited guys..  Legs are the most troublesome, an epic in terms of pieces.

Size comparison with RF.. quite much taller, unexpected for me..

Size comparison with Sinanju.. cute lil beasts.. now that's what you call, "Large, medium, small.."

Psychoframe activated.. now its even with the Sinanju in terms of height and prowess.. RF seems to be tight-lipped (and searching for his BFS.. ^^)

Thanks for watching..

November Hauls and backlog

Im so happy that i finally have the RX-0 as my birthday gift for myself this month. It took 3 months of wishes (2 MG's Red Frame, Sinanju and 7 HGs RX-78, Zaku, Bearguy, Custom Zaku F2000, Gelgoog, Jagd Doga,<unbuilt>, Geara Zulu - Angelo Sauper<unbuilt>, 2 SDs Red Frame, 00 Raiser and a WIP of 1/48 The Origin Head, Sinanju's Big F*** Bazooka).

Without further ado, here's some of the precious un-boxing moments..

MSN-03 Jagd Doga. I dont know why i'm hooked on Zeon MS designs.. am still hoping to have a hold of Sazabi and Bawoo GPB version.

AMS-129 Geara Zuku Angelo Sauper. I bought this last October, still cant find a time to build it. Time will come. I was too busy modifying my 00 Raiser with some paint. Its a process, i know..

And hopefully, i can finish the SD's painting job after i bought some LEDs for my Unicorn modification.
Thanks for watching. Till next time.. ^^

GPB - Super Custom Zaku F2000 WIP part 2

 

 Ok. As promised, here's a little tip for sanding. You can use one from a chick boutique. Its a good thing i have my wife to hunt these.

 Going back to our WIP, here's a shot from where we left off.

Side view

 Moving forward, i started on the feet.

 Then work up with the leg part.

Side view with the completed legs.

 Top view.

Then after a while, arms and hands we're completed.

Though the head has little articulation to almost nothing, this guy is one big bad boy!

 Now, lets build the weps.

 I found it amusing to have this axe/halberd assembled first. It reminds me of "Accretian" from the RF Online game.

Some action poses.

Shoulder has visible seamline, that needs to be covered in another WIP.

Ready for action.

Close up view.

Some hauls from our October 23 meetup of GM's.

Water slide for RX-0, even if it didnt arrived yet.
