The Gilgamesh Project YouTube Gallery

I just uploaded another YouTube gallery of one of my old builds. 

This is my old 2010 1/100 MG Sazabi Snow diorama " The Gilgamesh Project ". 

This diorama won me the Gold Champion medal at BAKUC Expert category. 

The Expert category is basically an old category so that past winners cannot join the Open category. lol. These days, they sort of fixed the cats, to encourage younger modelers. I think GBWC has now age categories. 

Anyways, I hope you'll like the video gallery. I will do more to help fill my new Youtube channel. 

Thanks as always for dropping by!

Cheers!

"Königstiger" MG The O verDC23 reboot

I am very hesitant to post this build as this looks so amateur in comparison to the current GBWC 2014 Champion's work The Spider O. However I thought I might as well post this old work ( repainted rushly to meet the GBWC Philippines 2014 deadline ) as this is practically old work anyways.

This was the same kit as the fully hand painted blue and orange The O II Hauer used for the Toymaker versus DC23 Face-Off back in 2011. This kit was not allowed at GBWC 2011 as the Expert category did not allow modifications at all ( funny they called it expert category ) and this year, the kit was also not allowed due to technical stuffs ( read the reason HERE ). I will never attempt to enter this kit ever again as it might be disqualified again ( lol )!

I will make sure I follow the " receipt " rule this year and HOPE the local organizer won't change the rules again, so that I would finally qualify at GBWC 2015.

I had to replace the head with a Mega Scale Zaku Bazooka as I lost the head during our house repairs last year. I kinda rushed the painting and the weathering to meet the deadline but at least I got to restore this old head-less build.

Anyways here are some photos of this restored kit. Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys!

MG Zeta Karaba verDC23 - initial prime

This project has been more than 2 years in the making. This was a commissioned work back in 2011 right before I went awol and did not touch Gunpla for a full two years. I just came back in the hobby this year ( 2014 ) and resumed work on this project. The modifications are old school ( you will know what I mean after 2015 ). I informed the client of this build that I will no longer charge him the remaining 50% fee for working on this project. 2 years worth of wait does not justify doing it for free, my client actually deserves another finished build.

Glad that my client has patiently waited for this build which I am trying to finish before the year ends. The up coming Holidays should give me time to paint this project, but as is normal with Holidays, I might not be able to touch plastic at all. Hopefully I finish this as soon as I can.

Just wanted to archive these photos of the build during the first primed stage. I already puttied up some errors during modification and have actually painted this build last weekend. Tons of masking and hand painting this coming weekend and this should be done soon.

Anyways, here are photos of this old work. Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

MG Zeta ver 2.0 Karaba verDC23 WIP 062314

I tried to prime this kit yesterday but in the middle of sanding a few imperfections, I realized I needed to buy some primers, blu tack and some satay sticks. After cleaning all the parts with mild soap and water, I rushed to the nearest hobby shop and bought myself some supplies. Once I returned home, I then got lazy to put all of the parts ( see photo below ) into skewers with blu tack ( or alligator clips ) for priming.

I will try to acquire the necessary paints ( lots of white and pinks ) this week so that I could prime and paint this project by weekend. Unless my mood calls for working with other commissioned projects by weekend, like my MG Z'Gok OR my 1/144 diorama.

I decided the modding / detailing phase of this build is done as the painting will add further details to the kit anyways. The client wants pink patterns all over the armor parts to break the monotony of the whites.

I am both excited and worried to paint this kit as it has been so long since I last used an airbrush. I figured I need my airbrush to paint those pink patterns as I am not capable of achieving them thru hand painting or spray cans.

Anyways, here are more photos of this commissioned project ready for priming and painting...

MG Zeta ver 2.0 Karaba verDC23 WIP 061914

As always I have posted a few of these photos at my Facebook pages and groups and at my Instagram account. However it is always better ( and more searchable ) when I archive here in my trusty old blog.

Not much progress since the last update but I do think this build is ready for priming. Will check for errors before and after priming and hope this build is ready for painting by next weekend. I personally think details are just enough as this will have an interesting pink camo pattern running along the armor parts.

Do check out older work in progress posts of this build at the label below...
