MG Acguy verDC23

 DC23 here sharing another old work from my blog. :)

Hello guys, this is my first 2010 kit and this is my entry for our ZeroGunz Pinoy GB, One of the rules is to make a clean build and the color should be predominantly red, blue or yellow ( base on the Philippine flag colors ). Anyways this was a fun build, eventhough cutting out the armor parts to reveal the internals is a bit tedious, other than that the painting session was a fun experience. it was my first time to freehand a camo pattern. The camo pattern is a vain attempt to make it look like whale skin and also I made a few booboos with the build. The finish has a sandy texture, looks ok but not intended definitely. I hope rubbing compound will solve the sandy texture effect...if not, it's ok.

Here is the link of the WIP of this build:

1/20 Votoms Brutishdog verDC23

 DC23 here again, this is a really old work I took from my blog. Hope you like my one and only Votoms kit...

Ello guys, I finished this around 6 pm today and I have been taking photos and cleaning the photos in photoshop since then. The bad news is that while I was spraying the final flat coat on the Torso and waist area...the clip slipped and the parts fell roughly 3 feet above the ground. The left side skirt armor broke off from the waist and one of the antennae also broke. This made me skip detail painting the figure that is suppose to sit inside the cockpit ( though I painted it oledi ).

Anyways, I can't find the piece of plasttis that is holding the side skirt to the waist part...so I figured to just let it be... besides, this is a hangar diorama. I then decided to remove the backpack and place both the backpack and the side skirt at the background...making it look like that it is under repair of some sort.

Another thing is that I enjoyed the photography style that I did with the hguc Geara Zulu. The lighting set up for the Geara is a two lights set up only, giving the subject lots of contrast and lots of shadows on one side...But I eventually played with the lighting of this one even more. I figured that a stylized moody lighting would make this kit look more interesting than taking photos of it as I would my other Gundams ( well lit - outdoor shot style ). Anyways here are some pics with the same two lights set up as the hguc Geara Zulu...

HG 1/100 Exia diorama verDC23

DC23 reporting again. This is also a very old work most likely buried in the archives of forums. Thought I'd re share it here in our new group blog. :)

I finished the Dynamez way back September 2008, V-fins are not even sharpened actually...basically the dynamez is one of my old works, it is painted with spray cans and was a fast OOTB build. I then decided to battle damaged it to serve as a complimentary piece for my 1/100 Exia.

There are no mods to the Dynamez and the base is made up of wood, styrofoam for the hill and my Wood glue + real sand = real looking texture technique.

After roughly 3 weeks of basic work with my 1/100 Exia, finishing it around May 28 2009...it is finally done...Help has arrived for Dynamez ( which was done/weathered around May 4 2009 )!

The conncept is simple...the Exia was still being repaired when the post of Dynamez was detected and attacked! So, even though the repairs on Exia are not finished yet...it has to support Dynamez in the battle...

I call this dio " The Final Stand "....well it simply looks that both MS are engaging in a final stand to defend something right?

The Exia has simple pla plating to enhance the detail only...but during the build or modding stage, I am pretty much conscious not to overdo it and upstage Dynamez in the final dio. Thus, I did not change the rubber parts and did not put any metal thingees on the Exia...and also I changed the blue tone of the Exia to give it a more serious-clinging to survive kinda look...hoped it worked.
