HGUC 1/144 RGM-89S STARK JEGAN

My first build in 2019 the HG Stark Jegan will be an additional to my High Grade GM collection. It is straight build with painted details for actual box design corrections and weathered. I'm using acrylic yellow paint for detailing the exhaust hand brush, painted the thruster bell with Zurc Gunmetal Grey, and Armored Komodo Clear Coat finish. For Weathering I used Tamiya weathering master for the gunmental effect for the grey armors, missile pods, and weapons and I used oil pastel color light green-dark green-brown combination for the light-green parts.

Hope you like it. Thank You and happy building!

HG 1/144 RX-78-1 FSD GUNDAM

Not totally painted parts, just the leg details with Grey Tamiya Acrylic and Zurc Grey Gunmetal for thruster bells. For the panel line, I used the grey Tamiya panel accent for the dark brown armors and black Tamiya Panel accent for grey and light color parts. For weathering I used Tamiya weathering Master, used gunmetal for the grey, joints and vents parts and heavily silver for the dark brown parts. I tried painting the orange strips but I used the stickers instead and the decals. I hope you like it!!! See ya!!!

HGUC 1/144 RGM-79SP GM SNIPER II

I used Gunmetal from Tamiya Weathering Master and Dry brushing Silver for scratches. Not really 100% but now I know what the pros and cons for applying weathering effects. Painted parts as follows: Zurc Paint Gunmetal for the jointframes and thrusters, Bosny Metallic Red for Inner Thrusters, Arkcom Gunmetal Black for shield details, and Arkcom Chrome for inner visor detail.

Thats all! See ya for next build.

HGUC 1/144 RGM-79[G] Ground Type

My third GM collection. This kit is almost perfect interms how bandai design the parts which is really intended just for snapfit display. It requires minimal seamline removal, detailed parts, and very good articulations. Its like a revived version or an origin high grade.

 I painted some parts to be anime accurate and a little bit of weathering through panel washing method. Nice kit, I highly recommend. See ya!!!

HG Origin 1/144 ZAKU II Macedonia High-Mobility Type

My very first Zaku! Fully painted and make some modifications of its backpack so that it can carry more armaments and extra fuel tanks. This is my entry for a buildoff hehe. The base kit is from the HG Origin Ortega Tri-star kit which is detailed than its HGUC version.

Maybe its time put it here even the buildoff is still ongoing hahaha

Thanks and see you to my next new build! Enjoy!

HGUC 1/144 GUNCANNON (REVIVE VER.)

My first finish kit in this year 2017 the HGUC 1/144 Guncannon (Revive Ver.). This will be my second kit for my Earth Federation Force Mass Produce Mobile Suit. It's not painted but I removed major simline along the Shoulders, head, weapons and backpack. I slightly weathered it using pencil lead for darker edges on the armors. The kit has good articulations and it can post the cannon shot behind the mountain.

Go to my FB PAGE : HGUC 1/144 Guncannon Revive Ver.

Enjoy the kit, See Ya!

RESHOOT : NG 1/144 GUNDAM VIRSAGO CHEST BREAK

I rephotograph / reshoot my old gunpla kit Gundam Virsago Chestbreak because I'm not satisfied to the quality of my earlier shoots of this kit. I also used my homemade light box (maybe I should have a tutorial of how I make my light box and set-up) and some photoshop techniques for post-productions.

I hope you like it and enjoy.

WIP HG 1/144 MAROON PETIT'GGUY

Its the season of holiday and I decided to give some gift to a friend of mine. I decided to give her a petit'gguy and I just painted it to the dominant color of our school in college. I present you MAROON PUTCHIGUY! I build and paint it ( 6 coats of metallic red on a gloss black base color) which it really look great, shiny and cute. I was happy because she really like it and that's all I wanted.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

SCRATCH BUILD REVOLUTION BY BLUBEK STUDIO

Hello! I just ordered a book from Blublek Studio and Hobbymate "Scratch Build Revolution" through dc23-mecharts and this book is fantastic! I intended to have this book as an encyclopedia for building gunpla and I prefer it in english language than other japanese counterparts. 

It is a good book especially to those who want to start scratch building with their gunpla and this the right book for that. It is "first time making gunpla" user-friendly which anyone can appreciate even the pros in the hobby plus it has a free side cutter to it.

Now I'm still in WIP of my HGBF GM Sniper K9 as my entry in a buildoff challenge held locally. I hope I can finish it as I wanted. Wish me Luck! hehehe ! See YA!

It was held at Gaisanao Mall of Davao April 20-26, 2015.

NG 1/144 Virsago Gundam Chest Break

One of my old kits back when Gundam X still aired in our local TV network. Fully painted and I learned so much from this kit (from applying putty, removing simlines, and stripping paints) which I exhibit (with my MG Nu) at the 6th Mindanao Toy Convention 2015.


WIP pics are HERE! Enjoy and thank You!

I also upload new pictures/reshoot of this kit HERE .

GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS TRY EP 22 : FOLLOW YOUR HEART

GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS TRY EP 22 : FOLLOW YOUR HEART

For me, one of the best episode of GBFT which I really enjoy because I like how unique is the Tryon 3 which is dedicated to the Super Robot Genre which in my younger year enjoy so much, such as Daimos, Mazinger Z, and Voltes V. 

I recommend to watch it and also watch Reconguista in G hehehe :D

GUNPLA #2 : Gundam Wing Zero WIP

This will be a WIP post for my second build gunpla. You can see the finish build HERE .

I painted the whole kit using a spray can and hand brushing using an enamel paints. The bagpack is primer grey (spray can), white spray cans on legs,arms, head, and wings, flatblack grey spray can for the buster rifle, then rest of the color red, blue, green, and gold are all handpainted enamel paints.

Below are pictures of the progress of building the kit.

GUNPLA #2 : NG 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero

My second finish build a No Grade 1/144 Wing Gundam 0 which I build for my 5 yrs old niece as a gift for his birthday. I admit that this build is far from perfect and this is the first time I hand paint or hand brush a gunpla. I was time bounded to build this kit because I need to finish it in 2 weeks prior to his birthday party.

But I really enjoy the process of building which it gives back memories (which my first gunpla is a NG 1/144 Shining Gundam which is more than 10 years old) and all I can say is that "smaller the kit, greater the difficulty to detail it".

Below are the pictures of the finish build :D Thank you
