Blessing in disguise...

Last Sunday, I had a spare to do some grocery after going to church. Whenever I go to the supermarket, I usually end up having six to eight bags of grocery items. But this time it was unusual, no more signs of grocery bags in the supermarket, all I can see are either brown bags for dry goods, then some eco bags for wet goods. It seemed like, the city had an ordinance regarding on banning the use of plastics in the supermarket. And if you are having a large number grocery bags, you will end up putting them all in a carton box. I had a total of three carton boxes; after I finished placing all the goods, I flattened them all and decided to tie them up.

But something in my told me that it seems like I can use these boxes. So I immediately untied them all and I handpicked one of the boxes. So here it is

As you can see, there are tiny holes between it and I think that I can use them… Here’s the picture.

I can use this for painting purposes, and I believe that this is more durable than the styrofoam that we usually use. I never thought that I can use these carton boxes that were given to me as a substitute for the plastic bags, hihi. At first, I thought of them as big trashes, since I do not prefer using carton boxes for storage. At least from now on, I can use it for my hobby. And this will be what I’m gonna use for meantime instead of the usual Styrofoam.

I still need to cut the other boxes in order to fill in the inner part of my BASE box so that I can put more sticks from time to time... Till my next post!

First Encounter

I’ve had this kit already for almost a year and a half. It was a present from my best friend last December 2011. Although I don’t have any plans to build it, since I only prefer to build Master Grade (MG) kits or any 1/100 kits. However, since the announcement of RX-78 MG 3.0, I got curious on people talking about that this will be the start of Real Grade kits in 1:100 scale. Sounds very interesting, preferred scale, preferred to build. Anyway, let’s try to build this kit.

No wonder that it was embodied with excitement. The articulation is the best and the color separation of parts is what I’ve really like so far. The ABS rubberish frame is unique as well. But I have a quick question that flicked into my mind. If this will be the trend of the upcoming MG kits or for newer version of the old produced kits, is there anything else that I can do with it or just paint it out of the box (OOTB).

Do not get me wrong with these guys. As a modeler, a scale modeler, or whatever you wanted to call it, my eye-opener on this hobby was when I saw a bad-ass MG Infinite Justice that was still in work-in-progress on the internet. In which at first, I never thought that I can do it as well. But I guess learning is an everyday routine in our lives. To cut this short, maybe I can say that I prefer the old kits, wherein I can integrate my own concept, modification and detail add-ons to them.

WIP 1 - MSA-011 S Gundam MG ver. krescenhaze

Hello guys!

This will be my first WIP that I will be posting in this blog.


Maybe some of you have seen this already a year ago. This is my third kit that I will try to modify and add some detailing. I will make a little more of a "Transformer" style, it will be more on armor separation, showing off it's internal frame, so expect a slimmer and agile type S-Gundam, a total opposite of the usual EX-S Gundams out there.

So here is my progress so far. The concept is to make it, again, slimmer and agile. 

Here's what I've done so far:

1. remove some armor parts

2. exposure of some internals

3. koto detailing

4. SB the heel/foot part

5. head extension

6. panel lining

- pla-plates will be added later

- still needs clean up though, can't do it for the meantime

LEGS and FEET

- the feet is still not finished, need to SB another part at the back

ARMS and SHOULDERS

- I am still looking for the manipulators, I used the Hi-Nu's manipulators for the meantime.

HEAD, CHEST and over-all look

- extended it by 2mm

Anyway, that's all for now.... till my next update.... :)

After I finished my Infinite Justice as my entry for the BMKWC 2010, I am pumped up to start for my second kit. But I had no idea what kit to start. Instead, I ended up on doing some scrap building and alas, an idea came out...

and after a year...

here is the result...
