Too many Work at Once!!

Hello World!!
First. I had decided to participate in the Group Build (GB) by HAG in SG.
..... Another event again?????

Yea.
The theme for this GB is using Gunpla from GBF, HG. Only straight-build kit is allow, no modification. Painting okay.
Sound Easy?

Of course, it's just a straight-build. But this is where all the Basic Skills coming in! Removing of parting line, gate marks....

This is the kit I'm going with it!
DEADLINE @ MARCH 1st

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

Not forgetting my main WIP for the MCON event.
After thoughts, I think I will have my Lightning going with me.

All my experiences learnt from past works...
Hope I am able to show them all during the Event.

With multiple WIPs going together.... and there's still my Exam approaching!! *student still.....

Will Do my BEST!!

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!

WIP01 - HGUC ZII

Hello World.
Started a new plamo kit, ZII, a few days ago. As usual, will be posting WIP of it.

Still remember the times when ZII is only available in GFF kits. I had been wishing to own one during that time, but the price was way higher than my budget.

Now, Bandai had finally released a HGUC Ver!! Though it was not the same design as the GFF ver, but it's alright!

Let's go into the WIP photos.

I think this post is more about how to remove the seam lines.

First, the leg armor. As the seam line is at the middle, I had decided to first cemented the armors together, and then use a etched-saw to saw it into what you see in the photo.

Although I could convert the seam line into panel line... Maybe I just don't like to have a line in the middle.

Second, the shoulder armor. I guess there are a lot people finding about this. Because in some HGs kits, the shoulder armor are connected directly to the arm. If you had cemented the shoulder armor, you can never ever separate them anymore.

What I did was using a etched-saw to saw the shoulder armor into 3 parts, where you can assembly them again after painting.

Alright, this is the side waist armor. The problem was that there is a gate mark beside the triangle feature, which is difficult to remove without damaging the triangle.

As a result, I sanded the feature and the gate mark away together. (so how about the feature?!)

No worry, I had cut some pla-plates to recreate the feature again, and some detail-up behind the armor.

Mid Year Contest SG 2014 - WIP01

Hi!

As quick as possible, Snap build of HG Star Build Strike is Done!!

Did some poses before further modification.

Front View

And...

This will be the Base Concept of my entry. (O_< ~)

Holding on to 1 Big Sword with 2 Scissors Swords mounted at the back.

The yellow colored stuff? That's masking tape. As Kotobukiya's MSG Weapons are meant for its Frame Arms Series, they can't just fit to a Bandai HG kits without modification. Will be trimming the handle later so that my SB Strike is able to hold it.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
Haha.
SG is now in Chinese New Year mood, and we are busy celebrating! Yea, you are right. I'm Chinese.
Been so busy these few days, finally having some free time for update, everything in one post now.

TIME: 2 days before

Location: My School = NYP

Time: Around 12pm = Break

That day I'm having 3 hours break, so I brought my HG Victory Gundam to build.

Not been a lonely guy, just that my friends had no lesson except for me.

Btw, Maki-Chan's(真姫ちゃん) Tin Case is temporary using as my outdoor toolbox.

真姫ちゃん~~~

Took some time to sharpen the V-fin.

Personally, I think that no matter what, the V-fin must be sharpen to show the coolness of Gundam Head.

Location: School Canteen

2 hours 30 minutes later.... Moved to my School Canteen. With All parts sanded and parting lines removed!

Time to take some photos!

The new generation HG line. If you are a person that collect Gunpla from past, I'm sure you will be impressed like me. If not, go take a old HG (Seed HG is enough) and compare both of them.
