Exia Test Type and Completed Contest Gallery!

SO I've neglected my blog for a while now... Lots has gone on. SO NOT TOO MUCH TEXT. lets go ahead and  show off what i've done.

first up, my mostly WIP-less Exia: Test type gallery!

hit the bump for more photos, as well as my contest entries and winners

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. :)

MG ez8 WIP 1

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.

My first contest announcement!

So, I hit 100 subs before I got to 20,000 views :) So after some thought, I decided I'm ready to hold my first contest. I'm bad at talking but here's the youtube video:

(oh jeeze, this thumbnail..)

Zudah WIP: 4

It's been a productive and slightly busy week! got a lot done on this guy.

the arms clearly aren't finished. I just put them on to see how they looked. I'm very happy with my masking and the subtle color differences in the camo. I've decided to paint the remaining pieces first, then just panel-wash and decal everything left in one sitting. assuming everything goes according to plan :)

hit the jump for a couple more photos!

Zudah WIP: 3

I have been slacking like no other on this blog... but a little inactivity is fine every now and again i suppose. I have hammered out a little more work on my Zudah. and hope to have it all finished by next week hopefully. as it stands now the arms are all painted and need decals and lines. as well as a final topcoat. so that'll come today most likely. I've got the next two days off work after tonght so I'll be able to do the head and weapons and call it a day. anyway, enough of me blubbering. here's what i've got.

Hit the jump for some more photos!

MG Age-1 Normal RG style, Completed Gallery!

Yesterday morning. I tackled and conquered the remnants of this beast. There isn't much to say besides I'm incredibly happy with this. there were some rough spots here and there. but all is done.

so sit back and enjoy :)

full gallery after the jump!

MG Age-1 Normal Final WIP!

Alright! typical opening text stuff. Nothing I haven't said before. this week has been killer with work and other stuff. I think the biggest distraction for me has been Monster Hunter... The newest one came out last tuesday and I've been playing a ton of it. But I was able to separate myself from it long enough to paint!

That's right guys! the age-1 is almost complete! at the time of this post, all of the remaining pieces for this kit are up on sticks, and painted/gloss coated. so hopefully in a day or two after my final decal session, and panel wash, and topcoat, once everything is all sealed in. I'll be able to take some pictures and maybe even do a review :)

Until then, hit the jump for some more pictures!

Age-1 normal WIP 3

I just went back through my previous posts. and it's amazing how much of this i DIDN'T document on my blog... TIME TO GET CRACKING!

last actual post I made about the age-1 I had just finished painting the right leg, and applying the OOB decals. and the last time I mentioned the Age-1, I had finished painting the waist and skirt armors.

so come with me after the bump, and we'll talk about what all i've done here :)

F91 Wip 2/complete Zudah unbox.

I set out to finish snapping my f91 together tonight, and accomplished said task. I did a little more detailing on the inner frame and panel lined most everything (still need to do shoulders and weapons) as well as snapping the base together and some lame poses until I decide to take some proper photos. so here's what I've done followed by a little more :D

Not the neatest. my toothpick wouldn't pick up enough paint, or go in the vents well enough for a decent coverage. but this is all covered anyway. i need to invest in some super fine brushes :P

Hit the jump for more pictures of the F91, and my Zudah unboxing!
