Decided on continuing the Gundam Dynames build over the others. I guess I’m such a sucker for continuity *snicker*
How to
Watching Plamo Tsukuro (building model kits) in Youtube got me curious as to the Mr. Mark Setter used by one of the promodelers when applying decals to the model kit. Looking at its product page at Mr. Hobby, I found out that it, along with Mr. Mark Softer is a line of decal softening solvents.
Being a newbie to 21st Century painting techniques, I used to think that by using Tamiya Masking tape alone one could hope to avoid the paint from seeping through the masking tape during spraying. After watching this episode of Plamo Tsukuro (Building Plastic Models), I found out that even the pro’s suffer from that same mistake. Nice to find out too that there is a method for fixing this problem. There is a funny part in this exchange, wherein after explaining to the cameraman the problem of paint seepage that happened to the kit, the cameraman tells him “can’t we just leave it as is?”… hehehe
Finished working on the non grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame from the SEED vs Astray series of Gundam. Been kinda whacked out lately that I didn’t have the drive to document the build like I usually do. This time I finished this for myself, no hassles of documenting it. This is basically me enjoying the build and not worrying about mistakes I make along the way. You will see some mistakes that I didn’t bother correcting… hehehe.
Was curious as to how to make those shadow effects on a plastic model kit when I ran across the real touch markers of Mr. Hobby. I translated first the color chart that was posted on the site.
Part III of this build can be found here. Most of the major leg parts are built already, all that remains are the orange parts on the upper shank of the leg as well as the knife sheaths.
Picking up again from where I left off on my quest to build the 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame. I was a bit preoccupied these past few weeks with other problems that it gave me no drive to build the Gundam Astray Blue Frame. Thank God though that those were finally resolved, thus allowing me to build up the needed concentration again to build this beautiful kit.
Last of the Color Guides from the Gundam’s of Gundam 00 to be translated is that of the GN-006 Gundam Cherudim. The Cherudim succeeded the GN-002 Gundam Dynames that was flown by Lockon Stratos. Like the Dynames, this is the long range specialist of Celestial Being.
