LONG TIME NO BLOG! i keep neglecting this thing. I'm sorry I'll try to do better! anyway. here's my latest build the high grade Grimoire! part of a build off with my buddies jacob, and alan.

Quick Resin tutorial + Start to finish Hazel head quick build

Many people familiar with gunpla start off building the bandai plastic models, but after a while the plastic builds become a bit monotonous, so sometimes builders will seek more challenging builds. be it in the way of modifying their kits, looking at different manufacturers for more challenging model kits, or perhaps dabbling in resin. Resin kits are a special material that you can find some very beautiful and detailed kits in, that may not be available or possible in plastic form. some resin kits even require a plastic frame from an existing kit, for improved posability!

I decided to do a quick runthrough of a typical resin build, start to finish, and touch on as many techniques and methods you'll encounter when working with resin. The build was fairly quick so quality isn't as great as if i'd taken more time, but it was simply for the purpose of teaching some basic resin prep. So, lets get started shall we?

1/35 Magic Toys Nu Gundam Head Bust

A while ago, I wanted to buy and build the resin model for the nu gundam (i've never done a nu gundam of any sort) and i stumbled upon the bust. I found one for a decent price and wanted to buy it, but someone had beat me to the punch. shortly thereafter. the plastic version of the same kit was announced. so i sat and wait, preordered it and picked it up. after a few months of poking around with it. It's finally finished :)

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 :)

SD Resin Zaku Completed Gallery

So, a few months ago, I asked my friend Jordan (aka ED) to do a build off with me, and that i would provide the kit. he accepted, and we began. I have really enjoyed these little SD Resin kits. they're fun quick little builds. and have nice amounts of little detail packed in, and have a really nicely styled design. it's a really good design all around. anyway. here's my half of our build off.

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!
