hi guys

i’ve been dead on here. sorry.

i’m gonna move my gunpla stuff here soon.

Passerine Design

shin musha mark-II WIP1

my first wip in months!

by the way, hguc sazabi and hguc 30th anniversary rx-78 have been panel lined and coated but i’ve just been lazy to upload. hguc nu has yet to be decaled and top coated + minor color correction retouching.

but i digress…

current life goal up ahead! [eager for it!]

i have to stock up on gunpla as i will be saving up money to put up a freelance/personal+related work website to get myself out there better, dA is not gonna cut it and any realistic person knows that though ideally it’d be awesome, right?

aaaaaanyway, i’m glad i didn’t purchase $30/12 month worth of dA subscription.

so yep, that’s my current life goal, the PRS Gold Custom 24 guitar can wait even though it’s kick ass! [maybe by that time it will be lowered in price, or not! =b]

gunpla can wait after my bulk purchases, most likely though:

• OVA Unicorn+cage
• 2.0 RX-78+clear parts [with lines scribed similar to the lines found in HGUC RX-78 30th anniversary]
• MG Wing Custom+clear parts
• Qubeley MK II
• hguc kshatriya
• hguc unicorn+destroy mode
• hguc geara zulu
• more gundam liners/markers
• tamiya acrylic bottled/spray paints [airbrush+compressor pushed back again]
• scribing tool
• new side cutters
• surgical blade

and i think that’s about it which comes to a grand total of $400-$500 give or take a few.
obviously i’m not gonna buy this all at once, i’m slowly going to stock it up while also saving money for the site and paying bills [the little i have fortunately: cellphone, food, gas, extra to help my mom out with rent/utilities]

wish me luck!

HGUC Sazabi WIP1

just a small photodump =D

i decided to do a wash with tamiya clear red + tamiya acrylic thinner and gundam marker plated silver!

results are below [and quite amazing to boot!]

Nu Gundam WIP 3

gettin’ close!

just gotta wait for the water slides to come in through special order at my local hobbytown usa.

Nu Gundam WIP2 Short Photodump

i usually take the stickers and dry transfers out of kits first and put them away in my stash but for some reason i think i threw away the clear stickers that came with nu [the red A+unicorn head] though i recall holding it in my hand i can’t find it, oh well, just an excuse to use my 10% off coupon at hobbywave then and get another kit to make the $10 shipping worthwhile!

maybe i’ll just buy the Char’s Counter Attack set instead of having left over amuro water slide decals for both hguc and mg nu. i mean, why make a char’s counter attack water decal set that includes everything but 1/144 decals for either rivals!?

started on HGUC Nu Gundam

here’s a photo dump of things done so far.

also, it never ceases to amaze me what a little plated silver [discontinued] gundam marker can do to a kit! + they really did a good job getting me back into the hguc line. a lot more details, panel lines, articulation and overall quality. if you notice, all the gray parts have a sort of glittery substance to them [reference the shield's backing] that was a nice touch by bandai i thought =]

quick photodump of victory gundam

Victory Gundam Linework Photodump!

this took about 20-24 hours to get here. that includes cutting from the runner/tree, nub cleaning with the xacto knife and panel lining with minor paint touch-ups using gundam marker red + tiny brush [including dry time]

here’s victory in “gff pose” dubbed by “Z” from gunpla-inochi.com =]

Victory Gundam Complete!

EDIT: what was i thinking calling this complete? i think i meant the physical parts not the lines or decals obviously =b

psyche! here’s a teaser though of the photo shoot for tomorrow.  i’ll have time to think of dynamic action poses for him to do.
