Prep, Priming, and a new site…
Greetings internet, I've missed you dearly. I've been busily slaving away with airbrushes and sandpaper and life as usual and haven't had time to update. Say 'Hello' to the new site. Currently it's just a shell until I get to designing the new layout and such. I'll be transferring all of my Gunpla related articles from my old blog here rather quickly.
So if you've been on my Tumblr then you've already seen the GP-03 and my failed Zaku. If not, its some fun stuff to look at. I'm currently building an Astray Blue Frame MG and either a Qubeley or Infinite Justice after.
Anyway, more later. Just wanted to poke my head back in.
00 Raiser Progress
Here’s the Endoskeleton so far for the PG 00 Raiser. It’s been a while since I did my first PG and I forgot how fucking huge and details they are. I feel like I’m breaking stuff by doing anything to it half the time. Anyway, I’m going to be painting it a dark metallic red as the earlier image showed. Let’s see how this all works. Color scheme and progress photos under the cut.
Also, I think the GP-03 is ready for linework. I’m a little nervous as everyone says I should do a wash when I just want to use pens. PEER PRESURE.
A Little Deathscythe Goes a Long Way
I was at my distributor and I grabbed a kit at random. This one is the Deathscythe Endless Waltz Version (not the Hell Custom). The navy blue and yellow were a bit blasé, so I went with black and gold. Excuse the photo quality as my photo booth is also not setup quite yet.
I hand painted this kit. I don't have the space/setup yet to spray paint or airbrush. I took it out onto my balcony to apply the pearl coat. I'm sure my neighbors were amused. The whole painting setup is in the works but I'm waiting on my tax return to get the final pieces together. Just a little longer!
I forgot how much I hate 1/100 scale sometimes. These pieces were fucking tiny. I'm considering breaking out the 00 Raiser or Zeta Gundam for my next kit just to take some time with painting and weathering. I didn't do weathering on this kit because the Wing Gundams are there to be pretty, not useful. I guess I could say the exact same thing for the 00 Raiser, so let's go with Zeta. That machine had some milage for sure!
I also forgot how much building and painting makes the stress and worries just melt away. Below the cut for all the photos.
