GBWC2012: GAPLANT TR-5 - SECOND DEBUT

At the moment, GBWC2012 Malaysia has begun and I am not excepted to join this huge and wonderful competition. As for this year, I came out with simple entry kit. I chose to enter HG category which I think it will be an easy project. The planning and paperwork that I've done for this project didn't shown me that this will be an easy job. I sacrificed a lot of time for the success of this project too, estimated almost 45 hours to complete it. I tried to came out with an entry which provides a lot details but the lack of time and expertise avoid me to have it very detail. 

GBWC2012: GAPLANT TR-5 - WIP 3 HALF BODY

Teaser for readers. Just a little update on my current build, no special scratch build part. Due to the time constrain, I just end up adding detailing at the kits by cutting pla-plates and add up some koto parts. Thats all for this post.

GBWC2012: GAPLANT TR-5 - WIP 2 ARMOUR SHIELD & BACKPACK

I just spend 3 hours straight to gather the idea of the details and cut them. The idea took me the longest since I wanted this kit to be very detail in term of the appearance. Instead of using a lot of pla-plates, I decided to scribed some panel lines on the kit so that the kit will not mess up with small pla-plates. At the same time, koto parts are useful to be added on them.

Nuff said that, "if you gonna plan big for a project, you need to ensure that everything followed according to the plan, If not, don't you ever dream to get those in your mind appear". For the year 2012, I am not going to make something which is big for this year entry since I have a lot of things to do lately for example other commission works, repainting those Pokemon figurines which took a lot of my time plus I'm working right now. I'm going to have the kit as it is without any SB weapon attached or diorama unless I have the time to do so.

COMPLETION: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK

I dont want to type long in this post because i am tired waiting this internet connection to upload all the pictures in this single post. Basically, this build is a disaster to me. Even though the detailing is not that huge and a lot, to me, they really make me busy. By the way, enjoy the pictures. Comments and critics are most welcome!

REPAINT: POKEMON ELECTABUZZ

Another repaint Pokemon figurine chapter. After successful repainting work of Gloom last month, I tried again to paint another pokemon figure, the Electabuzz. 3 main colors used after priming process using Mr Surfacer. 000 paint brush grade used to color every single strokes on this figure. and for the finishing work, gloss top coat for glossy figure and to prevent the color to pill off.

WIP 8: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK (SHOWER TIME)

After all, almost there guys. We are almost there! now left with several edge sanding, trimming and last but not least soaked them in a basin of water. Yeah!. In order to remove all the dust created and collected during sanding period, this kit should entitle a shower time before priming all the parts. That will be heal busy!

WIP 7: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK

What a boring update yet again from MastaKilla. Adding on detailing most of the part (leg armour basically, side skirt armour, shoulder armour) with small cut plastic plates at various places which based on real scale I would say it will be logic enough. Panel lining process, seam lines removal and  etc. were done in the first hand.

MECHA FEATURES: BALL TYPE RB79 - [G] Ver HEAVY BRIGADE BY RY5

Thousand of people came to their website once this model released in the Modellers Gallery. Was produced by ry5, a Japan Modeller had a Ball modified into a ball which is heavy with numbers of guns including triangle shape gattling and single shot type. Even though this model is not that huge, the idea and concept was exactly like spider which has 6 leg. Its implemented well with this ball. Nice weathering effect too! 

MY MIND ATTACKED BY GREEN, RED AND YELLOW FLAGS

This happen again in 2012 which I don't really understand myself either. The blog's banners change d phenomenon had lead to the obsession of colours which lead to the new designed logo officially for every MastaKilla product (gunpla build, repainted models and etc). This will be the last modification designed logo for the long term period I think as for the time being. 

WIP 6: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK (LEG ARMOUR)

Again update on progress of my current build. Detailing with pla-plates yet again with new concept came along suddenly when reading a book by the Napoleon Hill. Even though the contents are totally out of plamo chapter, it really helps me to think again on the details that Im trying to bring into this build. Enjoy!

MECHA FEATURES: SOTHEBY BY A-12

There are no update on my current build but in this post I would like to share to you guys some pictures of magnificent works by a Japan Modeller, A-12 which I took from the japan modellers gallery sites. This red like hornet beast called SOTHEBY after translated into English is really great in term of its details, proportion and not to forget the paint job, glossy sexy. Superb modification as the build is from a MG Sazabi.

WIP 5: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK (KNEE ARMOUR)

Medium time spend for the MG Aile Strike Legs Armour. Basically adding up all the details by using pla-plates with various thickness. There are a lot of pictures in this entry as it may help for those out there who would like to try modify their MG Aile Strike or else by themselves as these pictures act as good references and guidance. You all are most welcome to this blog.

WIP 4: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK (THIGH ARMOUR)

 Little update on current build.

WIP 3: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK (ARM ARMOUR)

Its really tiring to mod both arm armour at same length, shape and dimensions. Precise and concentration are the main subjects to achieve this build. Significant shape of plastic plate cut and sand. Several holes drill in order to increase the level of mecha for this arm armour. Work after this: putty and sanding with water for perfect surface before priming them.

TUTORIAL BASIC MOD: SHOULDER ADD-ON PART

First tutorial from Masta-Killa, just a very basic and simple tutorial on mod. In this post, I want to share to you guys on how to have cheap add on parts to your gundam. It can be put anywhere that you think would be nice. Name tag pin holder can be found easily in our local book stores and you can found it for only RM0.30 per piece. Cool huh~. 

WIP 2: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK (SKIRT ARMOUR)

This week progress so far, the skirt armour for MG Aile Strike. Cut here and there and detailing were from 1.0mm thickness pla-plate with different length and width. My camera is the problem since the outcome pictures are not really showing the exact picture of the parts.

WIP 1: MG AILE STRIKE Ver. MK

It just awesome to have a gundam-mod hobby with sufficient tools and knowledge. In the end, either the figures might ended half builded or complete depends on the modeller's determination. In this post I want to share to you guys about my recent build, MG Aile Strike. Here, the planning was to follow the build by Takumijp, a Japan Modeler on his MG Strike which at the end looks like a PG Strike to me. As for me, it doesnt count that much, I am not really copyrighting his build but take him as inspiration. Enjoy the pictures below. 30% of work on upper body without any cleaning and female-male peg system yet.

REPAINT: POKEMON GLOOM

This is my first attempt on repainting back figurine and i must say it was not an easy job after wall. Details painting are needed. By the way, this pokemon Gloom figurine I got it cheap at local uptown who selling vintage toys for collection. The height is about 7cm tall and it is not big. The colours combination came with the figurine initially not much ectractive, pale and dull. Poor gloom. So this poor gloom will best be my first attempt on repainting work.
