RG Strike & Weapon Packs

RG Strike + Aile, Sword, & Launcher Packs

Bought this kit about two years ago, and the sword/launcher packs last year.
Strike is one of my favorite mobile suit. It's design are quite simple but not too plain, muscled but not too bulky. With the extra packs, it can be used as an all round weapon.

Took almost two days to finish strike and aile pack alone, plus another two days for sword and launcher packs. As with usual RG kits, it came with tons of decals, and the time to put it on the sword and launcher packs are longer than the time to build those packs XD

No WIP photos this time (except several mobile phone photos that I won't bother to upload)
And I haven't build the Skygrasper yet. Got no action base nor space to display it :(
So, enjoy next tons of photos I took ^___^

出撃への準備 !!!

 (prepare to sortie !!!)

This time, just a series of photos I took after repairing the Sinanju,

using Mechanical Action Bases as the background.

MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee

Wow, it's almost three months after my last post, hahaha. Sooo busy with my work at the office and the 'take home' work. Actually the banshee was finished a week after that last post, minus the decals, but some event and weakness of this kit render me disappointed.

Darkness Prevail...

Since I've got the RG Skygrasper last month, I had a plan to build it along with the RG Aile Strike last weekend. This will be my 3rd RG after RG Zaku II a couple months ago.

I'm preparing the tools on Friday night when a dark presence came (by a courier) to seduce me...

RG Char's Zaku II (Done!)

Got a short time to take pics of the Zaku II (and forced to end it when my cam's battery runs out XD)

Lost several decals here and there due of posing, but I had fun ^^

A Little Sweetness... 4

Dumping photos, while searching for free time to shoot RG Char's Zaku II  ^__^

The Black Rock Shooter OVA figmas:

Blackie, Licky, Auntie, and Hammy... lol

RG Char's Zaku II (WISP4)

Finished decaling the Zaku II ^^

It takes hours to put all of those tiny decals (plus eye sore and backache)

I think the red/pink colors are too light, the decals on that parts aren't too visible.

Front view

Accidentally flipped a pair of decals here :P

Seravee WIP: Decaling

Finished decaling Seravee Designer Color.. Finally it doesn't look boring white or black anymore haha..
I smeared glossy coat before applying decals.
Here some photos to enjoy :)

All lined up and ready

Please refer to manual.

Some close up

Right shoulder is jealous of left shoulder, why nothing for the right?

Another big one on left foot (and yes nothing for the right)

Left foot

Designer color decals is just nice :)

Seraphim got some nice greeneries

I wish it glows in the dark XD

a little close up

Weapon of overly-mass destruction!

Another top coat and ready for some pose shootings ^^.

RG Char's Zaku II (WISP3)

Head parts

Forgot to take pic of the complete head.

RG Char's Zaku II (WISP 2)

Crotch parts.
Not much, with little color sepparations.
The inner frame is almost identic with RG RX 78-2.

RG Char's Zaku II (WISP 1)

 When did I get this kit? A year ago? How time flies.. hahaha...

Got a little free time this Saturday, so I guess I can start building this kit.

I don't expect to finish it this weekend though. 

The 'three times faster' MS will be done in 'three times slower' XD

 I always amazed with RG box illustration. Shiny!

Seravee WIP: Painting

Finally finished (partly) repainting Seravee ^^/ In the midst of top coat now..

Repainted the Whites, can't really see the difference.. need to go macro ^^;;

Close up on hand

Repainted the black parts :) Except the chest, can't unsnap it..

After top coat is decals and panel wash, until then ^^/

Gundam Room: The beginning

I haven't really got the time into gunpla again since married. And it's really burning inside XD
Anyway I moved to new house for my marriage life.. and since I got no (real) babies at the moment, I can have one room dedicated for my "babies" :p We call it, "Gundam Room". Yes, my wife calls like that also hihi..

Still filling the space only, nothing like fancy illuminated glass board :P So I'm keeping all my collections here, Gundam & Manga that is.. Well I do my coding work in this room as well.. But..must..start..gunpla-ing..also...

Till next time, from Gundam Room! ^^/

Back

Finally, the job's done ^^

let's pray so I don't have to make some revisions :P

Here's some shots of my RG RX 78-2

Not too much pose though. Coz I'm too afraid to ruin the decals (it's not coated yet :P)

 The 'realistic decals' is nice.

Thinner and sturdier than regular decals, with several metallic tones here and there.

 Awkward pose -__-

The skirt parts fall easily, and the ankle joints aren't too tight...

And the peg on the beam sword didn't fit with the arm's peg hole :P

The bazooka is nice.

incominggg....

en garde...

 for some reason, for me, one of the most remembered part of gundam is the shield...

big red stretched hexagon plate with yellow stars.

remember this epic pose? ^^

 Setsuna: "Get lost gramps!"

Amuro: "Gramps? I came from the future. Do the math!"

 dont forget our little fella'

 

 run out of gundam marker here.. so, no panel linings  :(

Well, this is my first RX 78-2 model after all those years building gunpla.

The design is old (of course), but this new RG line really hides that fact. With those new inner frame design and articulations, I felt like having a PG miniature.

Of course its not as sturdy as the PG line and I have to move the joints with extra cautions.

Drawbacks: some parts easily fell off, the hip and ankle joints are a bit loose (maybe it's just mine)

NZ-666 Kshatriya Into Space

There's not much progress in Seravee.. Instead i was playing with Kshatriya photo..
An attempt to fly the quad wings into the space XD

Fly your wings!

Perpaduan yang sangat cantik dari private photo shoot dan trailblazer screen cap XD

Don't tell anyone that the lighting angle is not right when combined with the background.. -_-
Next time I'll try to plan first he he..

Thanks for viewing yaw~

Decaling NZ-666 Kshatriya

Hello! I'm writing this at the train otw to airport.. I can't fly before posting this XD *Maniak*
So on the light of Kidou Senshi Unicorn eps 3, the quad-wing Kshatriya has lost in battle. But it has not lost her existence in my collection :) Couple of days last week, I've been having decal affair with the green wings. Finally I'm doing it! I already bought the samuel water decals around last year.

And so here's the result *jepret2x* ^^

Decals on the wings

Unfortunately the decals are all white which i didn't foresee when i painted the wing with soft green.. The contrast is not really good.

Decals on the right side

Decals on the left side

Some decals on the hands and legs side. I like sticking the big decals.. small tiny decals are hell.. >,<

Another shot on left side 

Bottom half

One exceptional decal in gold i sticked on the front lower armor ^^ Each 2 decals on each knee, 7 on the hip armors.

Upper half

Now I like decaling on these parts cause the dark colors, the decals stand out! ^^ 7 decals on front side, 3  on the head.

Back side

Eventually lots of decals end up in the back side ^^;; The darker green makes decals really stand out :)

18 decals in total.. 

Actually there're still unused decals, cause I'm too exhausted to continue *fiuuh* My first experience decaling.. I can say it's like hell! Very exhaustive.. Cut decals, dip inside water, drying, adjusting to the right position, apply mark softener, took a lot of time and concentration, and can easily screwed up..

Now Kshatriya looks better :)

And now it's time to fly to Jakarta again, holiday! :D See you again ^^/
