HG 00 Raiser WIP and Some other Stuffs ^^

Finally got some free time ^^;;. So I decided to complete customize my HG 00 Raiser instead... but before that.. some you guys asking what kind of compressor that I use for my Airbrush.. and hows the performance?

Well.. since I bought some cheap china brand.. the compressor is not that expensive its a lil bit less than the Airbrush it self.. I'll just post the images ^^;;

The performance... its really quite decent... the noise not that high.. the air pressure are consistance... altho I need to let it rest for a while after use ^^;;.. For me its already good for me.. for ppl like me that dont have much money to buy better one, its quite satisfied :D

WIPHG00Gundam02WIPHG00Gundam01

all the parts that I need is almost done cutted out from the runners, some parts pending for more sanding and need to remove the seam lines XP.

I leave the O Raiser alone since Im going to use XN kit instead XD, I think I should change the WIP name to XN Raiser or XN 00 Gundam or something hmm...

I'll use the 0 Raiser for my Exia or other kits I think ^^;;. Havent touch the XN kit yet.. Ill go for him right after finish this 00 Gundam.

Now.. I'm testing something for OO Gundam's joint ...

PaintBlackSilver

Im using this two Gaianotes Color here, Pure Black Gloss and Star Bright Silver, mixing together with 2:3 paint ratio and 1:3 thinner ratio..

AB test on 00 Gundam's pelvis joint and here the result~

Thats all for now... until next WIP

V for Victory Gundam

At last!!! Victory Gundam now will be released in Master Grade XD, and its got Version Katoki treatment... Me likey

EDIT - Adding more pictures

 

Had to post this, since I like this simple yet nice gundam design. All though most of fans wants V2 instead of V1, I think eventually it will come out ^^;;

To be honest.. Victory Gundam was my first Gundam anime, and since that Im hooked with Mecha and Gundam stuffs, the story was okay.. but I hate Uso lol..... anyway.. glad that its coming out after some spams of VS Astray and Gundam 00 ^^;;

Some tiny updates and PG OO Raiser

Its been a while since last post.. been bz with work and stuffs after holiday week ^^;; HG 00 Raiser DC WIP is slowly progressed.. mostly I planning something to do with this kit.. and I decided to give full AB and some details/mod. This guy will be my first victim XD. Other kits will be follow after this.. still got lots planning on those 4 HG kits, Exia, Cherudim, Arios and GN Archer.

Also there will be some change on this blog.. and some other stuff.. Im not gonna tell now.. you guys just wait lol..

now moving to most anticipated PG from Bandai after PG Red Frame :D, PG 00 Raiser...

While ago as usual I surf NgeeKhiong to see whats up on Gunpla news and stuffs.. and saw this

 

 

Didnt expect to see the complete colored PG 00 Raiser kit with possible all the stuffs ^^

But it seems there is something not right with this image/sample..

free image hosting
pic taken from Ruli Plamodel forum

Example look at the second pic, the feet... theres missing stuff there..

Also.. is it me or the lower part of 00 Gundam (legs) look kinda big compare it to his upper body.. the shoulder is so tiny.. I dunno, maybe its just me lol

The feet looks only like 2 parts seperated, unlike MG Exia got 3 seperated part on its feet

should the feet got 3 parts like this?



I dunno too, coz I dont have a PG yet.. so I lack of information bout their articulation and stuffs.. maybe.. its also just me XD, so far we see already assembled parts and only tiny glipse (2pic) of completed kit..

I not gonna buy it anyways.. its way over my budget T_T, so I guess I'll wait for MG release then.. hopefully Bandai will release it.. soon enough ^^
