WIP 1/144 OO raiser

thanks everyone, as to my surprise today, the 1/144 kit has a pretty good articulation as compared to the 1/100 version. the only part that i tweaked is the waist part to add a little bend to the torso. the balance of the kit without the o raiser is great. how i wish they re-issue other 1/144 kits like God Gundam and Gundam X. now i will be concentrating on the mods on the overall look of the kit, i hope it turns out good.
will be sanding the tip to add space for flexing.

the bend after sanding.. i think that i only added 7-12 degrees of bend.. barely noticable... errr!

one advantage of the 1/144 kits is their weight.

Redemption - 1/144 OO raiser Detailed Build

Photobucket
This will be a very daunting task as I try to polish my skills in gunpla further by from starting small.
The build will include articulation from head to feet, pla plating and panel lines from the PG version. and if posible, LED mods on the GN drives.

A Mtg player's travel to the plastic world

Being a mtg player, 6 years of experience paid off with a crown. After a year of gunpla, i thought a had a firm grasp of the art. this year Bandai modeln kit world cup taught me a very valuable lesson, time is gold. If I had more time, this kit would have been better, maybe had the potential to be the best. As a MTG player, practice does make perfect, as i played the 2007 national championship without losing a single match in the Constructed format. same thing can be said in gunpla, every aspect should be perfect, from planning to execution. I feel that I still need to polish my execution skills, as i failed to seal my kit, causing mass orange peel on the top coat. if not for the topcoat mishap, I would have added a better color scheme and camo. As ponder on the past events, I developed a year's worth of wisdom. hopefully I will improve my skills further, as i search for the crown. My this is the time to dream big, as i did on MTG, traveling the 6 year road, which others dream for a lifetime.
Those are the days I used as inspiration for gunpla, That anyone who is determined and well equiped to win, can win it all.

Crazy Gunpla Days, 1/100 MG ZZ Gundam BMKWC entry

I've just finished my BMKWC entry. Crammed a lot and I feel that i could do BETTER next year. A lot of situations have contributed to my cramming like graduate studies, work and social life. Too many distractions and delays has resulted to an unsatisfied finish. I've also encountered orange peel on my seal coat which discouraged me a lot in this build. Also, i feel that that I've overdone the decal work. need to work more on my planning before doing the modifications. I also want to thank Don Carlo for the Qubeley torso.
well, after months of slaving under my desk lamp and the fumes of thinner and acrylic paint, here it is, Project double zeta.
