Maki-chan is Cute!!

Hi!
Had got myself a MAKI-No brand girls ver. Fig yesterday at AFA.
Thought I will never get it as I had missed the preorder before its release; also as it is a prize fig, it maybe difficult to find them in the shops.

Just a few shots of it.

やっぱ真姫ちゃんかわいい!!

AFA2014

Hello World!
Had went to the AFA2014 yesterday!!
AFA is an Anime Event starting from SG since 2008, and this year is the 7th year!!
It's a three days event this year though, I've only able to go for it during the Saturday(06/12). Reason - School...

Anyway, had tons of fun there!! As well as photos too! Didn't had the chance to take any photos of cosplayer since I'm just shooting stuffs with my hp.

This are just some Crop-up of my photos. If interested, more photos over HERE!

• Thirteen Airbrushed Plamo

Added details at those hidden areas

I guess you should be thinking why is there no photo for MS form.
Reason - decided to make a display model of the WaveRider form, so there will be no changing of pose. Which makes MS form meaningless.

The base was bought from Daiso SG, originally from the "collection display case". I had sprayed Gloss Black and polished it to "mirror" finishing. Unfortunately, there are scratches on the base. Although I've thought of re-polishing it, I decided to leave it and give myself a failed example. So that I could refer back and not making the same mistakes again.

Applying those experiences from past works, there's no more paint chipping problem and paint thickness problem had reduced significantly. I guess I've got the hang of thinning the paints for airbrushing.
Remember the Messiah Valkyrie experiment? All the ducts are painted with Tamiya Enamel German Grey. Almost minor masking had done on this work.

WIP04 HGUC ZII

Hello World.

Alright, all the paintings were done. Panel lined.

Now will be having a test assemble for applying the decals. So that the positions of the decals are balanced through out.

Afterward will be applying a Matt Coating over it.

See ya!

Report !

Hello World.
If you had been wondering why there is no update for my ZII.
Reason =  ZII progess paused for the entire last week due to the requirement of the Enamel Yellow.

As there's not much Hobby Shops in SG, and there is none in my area. I had no choice but to wait until the Friday so that I could go to the Hobby shop to get them. Travelling time from my station to there = 30 minutes. Comparing to other countries, this maybe considered quite near actually. But I was released late from school everyday, so it's already night if I went. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, done with explaining.

Let's get into some Nisekoi goods report!

I really love the Nisekoi's Anime Character Design. The Heroines' eyes are so beautiful and dazzling. You just can't run away from their eyes. ( 2D though..)  

Good Job Shaft! 

As a collector and Nisekoi Fan, this is a must.

------------------------------------------------------------

Last but not least, Love Live S2 BD Vol 5! 2 more vol to go!

Alright, will be continuing my ZII. It's already in the Final Phrase, just a moment more! 

See ya!

WIP03.5 HGUC ZII

Hi.

Alright, most parts are painted. Now left with the blue parts.

So basically just a simple update.

Continue..

WIP03 - HGUC ZII

Hi.

Simple + quick = one photo post.

Alright, everything is done and surface check is completed.
Will be proceeding to Painting stage.

WIP02 - HGUC ZII

Hello World!
Let's continue with ZII WIP!

Some pla-plate detailing... I know it's not good.. the pla-plates are not straight...

There must be fail during the learning process!! Learning and see my improvement on my next work!!

Rear armor booster

Some can't be seen detailings

As expected, basically it is just pla-plating detailing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem - There's NO closed fist provided!!

It's weird if it's a open fist in MA mode. (Personally~)

Solution - I decided to use my Delta Kai's unused closed fists.

Fortunately, the Delta Kai and the ZII are using the same type of fist = Not much adjusting needed changing the hand armor,

Left- Delta Kai                 Right - ZII 

As you see in the photo, Bandai actually have their inserts' design the same.

But it doesn't mean I can just insert the ZII's hand armor directly. 

Left- After                 Right - Before

Easily, I would just remove the obstructing parts (in Red).. And it's Solve!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Assembly for checking.

Usually I will do a few time Test Assembly during WIP for checking stuff like "Balance", places needed further modification, etc..

Alright, just a few more tuning and I will be left with the weapons.

Then will be Surface Check! (Means checking after Surfacer)

See ya!
