FreeZeArt Saviour Part 2 (plus some randomness)

table management, i think?


better say some progress on FZA Saviour then--after the work in recent post, i found that i'm facing a hard time due to the state of my work desk, which is Unmanaged lol

for imagining purpose, there were lots of thing on the desk then. from tools, phone card, cardboard,gunpla that i'm currently working on, trash,plastic gates, etc etc..i assume that no one other than me will gonna work on this desk lol
easy to say, if you dropped a piece of part on the desk, you might spend some time searching for it ^^;;

so, i decided to do some cleaning and manage my stuff at the same time...so, took some boxes and..

there you go! nice and clean! ideal for any work lol! this is how a modeler's desk should be lol ^^
i used such boxes to manage my stuff so that they wont be scattering on the table

so..

first box= tools and markers + precaution item lol
and that box is used temporarily to keep parts of FZA Saviour

next..

keeping polycaps and sandpapers..the white tray is for keeping SB items ^^

enough showing the table..lets go to the real topic...
there are no WIP pictures since i got too focused working on this ^^;;
but there are some things that i will highlight then

current state of FZA Saviur now..this is the pose that i will freeze it into..for the left front skirt armor, i'd used a pin for mounting it to the hip but i accidentally dropped it onto the messy desk and had to scrambled the stuffs to find it but didnt find it orz..so had to make another mounting pin (this cause me to clean the desk lol) BTW i found the pin while cleaning the desk ^^;;

apart from how i mount the skirt armor,the back cannon is another issue.the mounts of the cannon made the cannon to be positioned paralell to each other and looks boring...to give the dynamic look, i scratched some plastic at the mount so that it can be aligned to certain angle when being mounted....and the picture shows the results..much much better and will do the same to the wings also ^^

i also had attached the torso to the hip and make it to look like the waist is twisted a bit (dynamic look lol) at this time the shoulder parts is cemented
also noticed that thats the progress for the paint job...my white spray had been used up and i only managed to use it on the left leg only orz..need to buy another can..so, just only need to complete the paint job and make the base and FZA Saviour will be done!!

and...

i know that some people wanna see this...i had abandoned it for a while due to my laziness lol

YES!the GN Sword X is finished now!!! and the only thing that i had to do is to attach the components of the beam parts together to form the RaiXer Sword ^^;; and i think the next post will be the review for GN Sword X lol
and that is the color for X...black and silver ^^ from the votes lol and the blue is from Gundam Marker (first GM!!) haha

FreeZeArt Saviour Part 1

FreeZeArt!!


why FreeZeArt? well, basically i'm making my kits into non-posable, quite similar normal figure or something like that..and most important, i'm using NG 1/144 kits that are famous for their lack of joints lol

i choose to name it as FreeZeArt since i want to 'freeze' it into a certain pose with the least number of articulations achievable..Art? well, i always describe Gunpla-mod as a techncal art ^^
and for the capital Z, well, you know, stands for ZoiDiect/ZD lol

however, this NG kits, in this case Saviour, only capable of standing upright so i had to mod it to make it capable of making dynamic poses.

befor i got this FreeZeArt idea, i want to make my saviour to be posable but making joints for NG 1/144 kits is way too far for my current skills orz

some parts that i give heavy mods.the elbow joint actually can move and is bendable for 85' lol...but for the knee joint, i make it to be fixed at 90' bend...thats is the maximum that i can pull with my current skills now..

so, here some pics on poses that i make as preview before making any progress ^^




as for now, i didnt hesitate about coloring and maybe i will make it into full dark gray except for the face-piece lol (kinda lazy to make multiple color ^^;;)

but then, this is another project i'd put into my list for mod works (GN Sword X demands my attention lol)

now then, still dealing with some seamlines and will make a special base for it ^^

Gusto Dot Com!

from the latest info i got, this shop is already CLOSED

yea, that's kinda sad ;_;
Its no hotel, Moe!No Hotel!


EDITED : Added the address of the shop ^^

like i said before, i'm setting my foot to the very first Hobby Shop in Kota Bharu,Kelantan..aka Gusto Dot Com. first, thanks to my teacher Mr Zamani for introducing this shop to me ^^
lets go to the shop!

the signboard of Gusto. they're having a red silhouette of WZC on the board ^^

the front of the shop is a nice display case of examples of merchandises that we can get here. hummm...NICE!
enough of outdoor talk, lets go for indoor talk then!!

opening the sliding front door, these kits greet us.Moe, look there...MG Ball Ver Ka that sells for RM 88 LOL

the kits that will greet us directly after entering the shop.look at there...its MG GN-X LOLZ!!! ITS HERE!!!!
there's also MG Goku ^^ and there are special promotion for Sangokuden kits where you can get 2 kits at RM 50!
and at the left side of GP03 box, its PG WZC special edition !!!

more kits here...luckily i manage to resist the cries of the kits pledging me to build them lol

PG Eva 01,anyone?

some of tools that can be bought here..Gundam Markers, Bandai Tool Set,Tamiya Tools etc...there are also Tamiya putty-basic,quick type and smooth surface type(didnt remember the name actually, just guessing lol)
on the side there are HGUC Unicorn Destroy, Masurao, and action bases..and on the floor, there's a HGUC Zaku II laying due to broken hip joint ^^;;

Old HG Wing kits anyone? very tempting i say..and if one might be asking, they use the exchange rate of 0.03x..the owner said that they wont give discount so they sell kits at the correct rate...for me, its a relief ^^

there are also some PokePla but i'm not into them ^^;;

SD G-Gen Kits..RM16.80 each

and yes, even at the counter there are lots of kits in display..look carefully behind Lacus, there's a XN unit there ^^

i LOLed at this stormtroopers!!
nice army lol

more item on display..SF FBM, HGUC Hi-Nu, Mirage 1st, HG Exia custom color and a bionicle model too ^o^

yes they got painting stuff too!! Gundam Markers and Tamiya Markers, Mr.Color, Tamiya spray can, limonene cement, putty, and topcoat too-flat,semi-gloss,and gloss

some TF stuff on display..there are also BearBrick stuff there!!

Cybaster anyone? lol

there are also HGUC Ground War set both Zaku and Ground Gundam

also we can get clear color ARF and ABF 2nd L...for MG ARF Kai, the owner said it will be here this week!! Nice!!

O.O Mazinger Kits!!!!

i believe we talked about this last night at the dark side, right bd? and there, it stood in front of my eyes..

some Macross stuff...deculture lol (^o^)

Hello, PG OO Raiser!!! and guess what? ITS INITIAL BATCH RELEASE VER!!!!

got some HCM-PRO Gundam W figures ^^

Eva-01 Head Bust lol!! and it's lighting up at the moment i snapped the picture ^^

overall, i say that this is what i dreamed of before...a Hobby shop that i could reach ^^ Malaysians usually got Bandai Kits through Litt Tak but for this shop, its not by Litt Tak..they ordered it by themselves lol..and customers can ask on ordering some kits and i might be doing so for HG Gundam X lol ^^

but the good thing is that they put on reasonable exchange rate. for example, at supermarkets here Seed VS Astray= RM137.90 but here at Gusto, you can get them for RM108.80.. O.O..huge difference lol..and the fact they got tools are making me feel pleased (^_^)

as for the owner himself, from what i see, he got some great painting skills and when i interviewed him, he said that he just mastered the art of weathering ^^ got a new senpai~ lol

wrapping up my review on Gusto Dot Com...

yes, thats it..i'm assuring it lol..here i officiallly announce that i'm switching from retail store to Gusto Dot Com for Gunplas!!

for contact purpose,
here's the mobile number of the owner, Shawn :0129815869
