HGUC Ez8 Tempest Completed Gallery

So i didn't do too much in the way of WIPS on this guy, for the blog anyway. there was a bit on youtube, but anyway. This was originally a part of the Team Nexus 1 year anniversary build. But I've departed the team, So despite the decals, this is now a standalone build. there was a little more i wanted to do with this guy, but with the group deadline I had to skip hard decaling and weathering. But i'm still pleased with the final result. it has a little grit to it, but it's not 'dirty'

anyway lemme know what you think! gallery below!

hit the bump for more :)

Master Grade Ez8 "2.0" build Completed Gallery

So this is for the Elite Group Build over at The Mecha Lounge

I really wanted to do a new Ez8 and do better than I did with my Original Ez8 Build

I liked my original, but I felt i could have done better with the weathering and the paint. So I wanted to improve on all fronts. Anyway, If you've been following my wips, you know all of that. so, on to the pictures!

Master Grade ez8 Elite Group build Wip: 1

SO i've neglected my blog once again. but here i am with another WIP. this one is kind of a throwback, (not much unlike the build strike i suppose, but actually a throwback)

one of my favorite builds last year was the Ez8, so I thought for the mecha lounge Elite group build, I'd raise my game a little.

GWC 1.0 entry: MG Ez8 Completed Gallery and Review

Here stands the behemoth. the past couple of weeks have been poured into making this guy look as good (I use the term 'good' very loosely here) As you can see (and have been seeing if you've been following my progress) I went with a slightly modified OOB color scheme for this guy. I kept the metallics as they would appear, and blues are in place, but instead of going with the tan color the kit was molded in, I went with a pre-shaded gray/white scheme. I think it suits the look of the kit overall better, and I think it looks more urban as opposed to having that 'desert' look to it.

I was stealing some of Dan's patented 360 degree photo 'swag' (I hope he doesn't mind) and my camera curiously enough, I guess recognised what I was doing, and automatically made a .gif out of it... technology...

anyway, Hit the bump for a small review, and some of my thoughts on this guy :) as well as a ton of photos!

GWC 1.0 entry: MG Ez8 WIP: 3

So this week has shown a lot of progress. I've been semi-lazy but somehow I have produced a lot in terms of progress on the Ez8 for Gundam Beginner's contest. since last update I have finished weathering the outer armor, primed, painted and pre-shaded everything, and then hand-brushed all of my weathering on. did some more dry brushing and decaling and right now it's at the final gloss stage.


for those of you who don't like reading or pictures, here's a WIP video for you:

And for the rest of you, continue as normal ;D stuff happens after the jump

GWC 1.0 entry: MG Ez8 WIP: 2

So my aim is to get myself back into a schedule and update my blog and my youtube, as well as the various other places i post my content on a semi-regular basis. Hopefully I'll be able to make enough progress throughout the week to keep this up. So we'll see what happens.

ANYWAY. the Ez8. I've finished painting and dry brushing the frame. and i've finished painting all (read: about 90-ish%) of all of the metallics on the kit. so a majority of what's left is the armor parts, as well as the backpack.

Just a little sample. I'll try to take more pictures of the frame before i slap all of the armor on the final product. :)

SO. My youtube subscribers, decided my next build would be the Ez8, so I snapped the kit together and test fitted everything. i began to remove seam lines, and prep things for paint

here's the WIP video for the progress i've made so far.
