HGUC Zaku II F2 EFSF WIP (Part 3)





Well, completed the main part of the legs and left only the rear leg thrusters. The weapons will take some time before I will consider this project complete. I intend to apply gun metal to the weapons; the heat hawk will take a little bit more time to complete as it's a whole piece of grey plastic.

HGUC Zaku II F2 EFSF WIP (Part 2)





Just a minor progress on my Zaku II F2. Arms and head added; Added Bandai Zaku II F2 decal, panel-line wash with dark brown and tried a little weathering at the edge of some of the body parts. As for the weathering goes, I'm still deciding how to weather the shoulder armour...

Current Project: HGUC Zaku II F2 EFSF WIP (Part 1)

I'm currently working slowly on the HGUC Zaku II F2 EFSF. The scope of this project is limited to:
1. Minimal Painting but apply little details when necessary
2. Application of water slide decal (I bought my decal, GD-79 from Hobby Link Japan)
3. Matt coat after decal application
4. Dry brush some parts when necessary

I have just completed the body...

GFF Gundam Exia


Got this from a local Gundam Fix Figuration clearance sale - Gundam Exia. I didn't get the Exia plastic model as I find that it lacks details. It's been a while since I have been eyeing on the Exia GFF version. As with all GFF kits, the detailing of this model is great!

Chief Medic Pururu


Pururu - Chief Medic. It took me only two days to get this up. The parts are molded almost the same as depicted in the box art. The syringe does turn out to be a little too heavy. Some balancing act needs to be done in order to pose this kit properly


Here's a size comparison with Tamama (well, it's actually not required)

Tamama Common Soldier


Still on the Sgt. Frog passion, I have completed my next kit - Tamama with common soldier outfit. This is an easy build and I didn't want to apply any color to the kit initially but somehow, still did it :)

As usual, I will apply a layer of matt coat to provide a uniform texture.

Keroro Robo

A slight deviation from the usual; I have embarked on a new type of model kit - the Keroro. My wife actually likes it as she finds it cute. She has even popped the question: "Can you buy more of these?" There are two possible thoughts which I can derive from this statement: (1) she likes to have more Keroro kits on display, (2) she finds the usual gundam kits which I have BORING. I remembered once she said Gundams looks all the same; can't blame her as I will usually say "you bag designs doesn't deviate much; why are you buy the same thing again". Ha ha! Anyway, here's the pics of the assembled Keroro Robo
