Marking Seals...

ok now, lets begin..

ZD: what the?..cut it off!! you're ruining the show!!

OO: Who cares? let the world hear my voice through this demOOnstration!!

Nadleeh: screw it...*Nadleeh kick!*

now, lets begin(for real)

some people dont really like the marking seals that are given for some Gunpla..as they will be peeled over after some time..and it will make gunpla look horrible..since the seals are bigger than the marking on it, it is better if the seals is trimmed...for Zoids-builder (Tomy Takara ver) might be used with trimming stickers..

when stickers/seals is trimmed and pasted on the model, it will make it to be better rater than the untrimmed one..

trimming stickers will give you this type of effects...presenting::Blade Liger Noir (ZD Custom)

some close-up...trimming the stickers will make them stick on the surface much-much better...(look at the dusts.....lets guess how old it is ^^)

however, BL got those seals for only just 1 month now..lets look at another subject

Arosaurer...the stickers were sticked 2 years ago and still looking good..

some close-up..need to brush the dusts of him also

i got a sheet of seals from WZC and only used a little for WZC...so here goes the trimming and applying onto some of my gunpla....

Some MG points : Knee joint

Shield.. How i make this? view it here

and another one that got seals treatment is prOOtest king of the shelf---OO Raiser!!

serious trimming is required for OO...but since he spoiled this show earlier...he will only got a picture only...muahahahahahha

Coming Soon : Project KnightinGale File 1

Alter~native?

Wanna try this for a ride on a bike?

nothing at all, just that i've got nothing to write..but first, let me apologize on some difficulties faced by some readers due to the language used in this blog...gonna stick on english from now ^^;


well, what do we got here?

What's this? this is the head of Blue Destiny-02.Yep, i'd ran into a BD-2 and chopped the head off the body and ran away with this...(grin)

just kidding....this is a helmet for a mascot suit i'd made last year for my sport house's mascot=BD-2...

nothing fancy, just made of cardboards, mounting boards and some 'foam' blocks...
the side plate and the top monitor is made of foam so i've got some 'safety' points there...so, anyone wanna use this for a bike-ride?

the only flaw on this helmet is that the face plate is not as the same as the original design for the region below the eye..and due to the rear side is made like that, turning head up while wearing this is kinda hard (due to a single-ball joint used for the neck joint..they supposed to use the same neck joint as HGUC Unicorn Destroy...^^)

and last but not least, the full suit!!

please ignore the people around BD-02

the proportion is not right due to the lack of time...however, it comes with a custom made Bazooka and to differ it from the mascot suits made by alumni starting from 2005 until 2008, this suit is known to have ability to be wore on and off easily (due to my 'cast-on' gimmick)

thats all, me thinks..

still figuring out some future projects like Project KnightinGale..but for some fun, i might try on making OverFlag helmet ^^

Wish List refreshed

well, i've made some mind-make-ups

WANTED LIST For YEAR 2010

1. OO Qan[T](preferably NG 1/100 scale)
2. MG GN-X(probably 3 or 4 months after the official release,I think)
3. HG Gundam Exia(replacement purpose)
4. Bootleg(pirate) HG Gundam Exia(for the repair(half) version)
5. Driving license(car and bike)(T_T)
6. New Fishing Reel
7. A scholarship for my further studies

MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOUR OWN WANTED COURSE AND AMBITION, ZD!!!!!!!!!
taken from this post

from the list, after some progresses in Gunpla world, i decided to skip on MG GN-X, there's something which is not right(my own opinion)

the bootleg Exia i'd got in Trans-AM mode and had been into repair mode now...

still waiting for the OO Qan[T] latest progress....

and waiting for ZoidsPoison Voting period (got my votes now)

and new add-on for the list: HGUC Unicorn Destroy
Bootleg HG Astray DSSD (for my own custom KnightinGale)

thats all I think....will make more add-ons as time flows ^^


.

Revive!!(revival)

nothing related to the title...

yaayy, back on the web again!!

the internet and the phone line had been cut off somehow for the past two days

didn.t know why, but my dad said that someone stole the main cable(Curse You!!)

kinda critical to have no internet at this range of time since 31/01 is the deadline for ZoidsPoison Custom Contest(well, i need to know about the voting okay..)

but when i viewed the latest entries, i think that i will try again for ZPCC 2011...siggh...

currently didn't do any Gunpla works/model kits now......just say that i'm kinda blank right now, hehe.....

BTW, at last, i'm gonna start my driving class tomorrow!

Exia Repair ver.ZD

Trans-AM!!!!!

some snapshot of Exia Repair ver.ZD

close up on the damaged side of the head (err..you can say the half-repaired side of head)

by using the upper arm to connect the cape to the body, the cape got some mobility...it can go up....

and can swing 180'....extra articulation, i say XD

MG Exia Ignition box art...

season 2 episode 1: Angels Second Advent

some poses that shown for the MG version

what do you think about this picture?
I think that I'm Saji Crossroad in episode 1 of Gundam OO S2
^_^

Bootleg HG Exia Trans-AM -> Exia Repair Conversion WIP

Full Concentration=Fast Work

started working on my Exia
first, i removed the unwanted parts

they are the GN Blades, beam sabers, right knee armor, left skirt armor, left arm, shield, foot armors, left chest vent, right chest fin and the cord on the right arm

this is how it looks without the unwanted parts

1:GN Sword

i sketched a line at the tip of the blade

and cut it off .using knife and nipper, the broken tip is made to look like it is broken off hardly

some masking is done and painted using silver marker

Taddaa!! the results is great!! excess paint is scratched off

the GN Sword look cool now

2:Head

image from MAHQ.net

for the damaged head, i took this picture as my reference

the head is disassembled and lines are marked on the parts that will be cut

the v-fin is cut and the monitor is painted using silver marker and is detailed up with a black marker

more guidelines for the right side of the helmet, face plate and eye piece

cut them off and the inner side of the head is carved to make it flat

test fit. ummm, looks okay

for the red eye camera, i'd used the parts from the runners....after gluing them together with the head, i painted it black

took a thin wire and cut it into desired length

and glue it onto the camera and colored it black

i cut a tiny round red sticker and apply it on the camera...the head is done

almost done

3:Cape

for the cape, i took a piece of brown cloth

and cut it into my desired shape

the upper left arm is taken and i made a hole

hahahaa...my secret technique!! I sew the cape to the upper arm!! using the upper arm to connect the cape with the body will give some mobility to the cape making the cape more posable (like MG Exia Repair larr..)

Done!!Total time=less than 4 hours!!

more pictures in next post!!

Bootleg HG Exia Trans-AM -> Exia Repair Conversion work

first loot for 2010

yep, and it is a bootleg..bought this for my Exia Repair project...actually I want a normal one but i found the Trans-AM, so just went along with the currents..^^
this kit is priced 3 times cheaper than the original ones..
so lets see what does this bootleg gives us

the same box-art......instead of the name Gundam Exia, 'Gundam' is omitted

all runners are packaged in a single plastic bag...not good for the parts as they might scratch each other and the stickers also

all the runners...the polycaps is harder than the original and the red cords is kinda softer

the stickers can stick but there's no bling-bling grains like the original..the stickers are made unaccurately for the model and got scratched really easily

noticed some mold defects...the finger of the open palm are ugly and there are some excess plastic on some parts

some people said that bootleg's parts are kinda glossy and mine also glossy..but since that this is a "trans-am mode with gloss injection" kit..this is okay to me

wtf? the front skirt armors is already separated!!

i then quickly build this kit ..here's the finished product...

close up....the green layer on the eye sticker is scratched when i tried to apply the sticker..
the parts are dead hard to be assembed...sometimes i stepped on certain pieces so that it will snap together well....the yellow part on the chest is thin and indeed sharp...when i was trying hard to put it in place...it easily cut my thumb...Ouch!

image from MAHQ.net

referring to this picture...this is what I am going to do with this Exia

so then...this is what i'm gonna do......lots of work is needed for the head and the sword...the head needs to be modded into TerminExia head (half Exia,half Terminator)..

well then..need to work on this now ^^
