HGUC Gelgoog Jager WIP 2

 YOU DARE POST THE SECOND PART OF THE WIP WHILE THE COMPLETED PICS HAD ALREADY BEEN SWARMING THE NET???

...is what i am telling myself right now. lotsa thing occured within short time period, and some stuff do get a bit off-hand. so yea, some stuff are bound to be neglected, but this is the time to catch up on that

anyway, some may have already seen the completed stuff, but i have to go thru and had everything off the draft. here we go~

 LED modification knows no end. but it always calls for a start

HGUC Gelgoog Jager WIP 1

next project, and for Scale Modelers League facebook group Monoeye group build :D

 

 frankly speaking i dislike the aesthetics of Zeons, mainly due to the proportional balance. but, Jager hits me at a spot, mainly due to the sort of Gundam-ish design i guess. well, the skirt and the feet that sway from how Gelgoogs used to look like. nonetheless, onto the hunter!

Hi-Nu Gundoom- WIP 3

 would be better for an annual wrap up post rather than this, but i want to clear off any post backlogs before welcoming 2013. and a rather overdue one. continuing on Hi-Nu Gundoom, first actually the first kit i got on to ever since i'm home for summer break, yet i put off posting the last part of the WIPs, going for Byarlant instead. nonetheless, lets give this kit chances to show its colors~

 laid them out and begin to self-blaming for putting it off for so long! lolz

HGUC Byarlant Custom WIP 3

 aaand as i got up to thhat is, not much on the third post, pretty much almost done everything. the mod that is not much on the painting whatsoever. nonetheless, here's the bits of the last works, and as i thought that i had accomplished enough already, there aren't much to show :3
 

 random shot to begin the post XD

HGUC Byarlant Custom WIP 2

 i feel the drive in me now....GUNPLA DRIVE ON!

 more stuff accomplished :D and by far, i don't do any detailing involving pla plates yet, most are all from scribing extra panel lines

one of the biggest complaint i heard for Byarlant is these hollow parts, funnily for all claws of the arm and feet. filled them in with epoxy putty, and waiting to be sanded flush

HGUC Byarlant Custom WIP 1

 well, like I am going to resist this beast? XD
and here i am again, back at home for summer break, as well as back to gunpla. this isn't actually the first one i had for the break, as i actually went ahead and finish up my Hi-Nu Gundoom, which i will post up the remaining WIPs and get it topcoated for the full gallery (dammit weather stop raining and gimme sunlight already!)

anyway, this is one of the most highly anticipated kit, ever since Gundam UC EP4 was released, and yea, he's freaking badass and granted with the unique design, i am sold for a box of it ^^

 lovely lovely lovely boxart, capturing its crowning moment of glorious awesomeness from the episode

TF Prime: Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime

and when all are the most unwary, a blog post!

well, yeah, TFP hits me good. i didn't expect on how bad i'll get hook to TF series, mainly since i prefer the real robot type (Gundam etc) and yeah, all i wanted after the live action trilogy was one decent TF figure. and then i picked up and watch the Prime series. so good it is, so bad the figures are (most of them). nonetheless, here's the budget (budget?) version which is kinda neat, and packed something worth looking into

Fishing in Adelaide- Part 1

 well, since i am to spend another two years (or three) here, why not carry over another hobby of mine and enjoy it here. with the water bodies we got here in aussie, i think it is a crime not to test the beings that dwell within the water.

why part 1? it will be more than one part, as i quest to different trips and such :D

and despite the title mentioning Adelaide, the first part isn't at Adelaide, specifically at Goolwa, 100km++ away from the suburb life at Adelaide Metro, and most people come down over here for its infamous cockles

 but we're here for carps. quite the game fish this one, though not so for consumption over here in Australia where they dwell in and kick the natives off their places. highly invasive they are, so that the government mentions

"European Carp are an introduced species and are not to be returned to the water alive. "

so it seems. as mentioned, they are, for their high abundance, is rather easy to catch and the ones that quite give the fight. a good 2 pounder can run off with your lines multiple times, and forcing it in may result in unhooking it off (had that with my first carp off the Torrens)

 and where we're off to in Goolwa? under the bridge

 one heck of a spectacular place to cast your line :D

River Monsters

quite a big fan of the tv show (or at least of what i could get off youtube), all aligned with my angling hobby, and somewhat reliving back the hunter inside me. didn't actually think that i will impulse out and buy the book, great read nonetheless (still don't finish it up though)

also, considering that i will be around adelaide for a couple of long time, it should be compulsary for me to test out the water here :D

he's the man! Jeremy Wade that is!
