WIP 2: Waist, Legs and some shoulders

Hey guys! I'm just filling you in the parts I have done. Well, you could see that I've been kit bashing and technically trimming and adding parts I see fit. I wanted the Tallegeese to have the same features while adding touches of my own.

Gunpla biz and its perks!

Today, I had another set of transactions because if you check the wares page of my blog, I sell decals, kits and things I can get my hands on as an adjunct to fuel my hobby. As I do my usual meet ups with old and new clients. I realized how long its been since I've started my hobby, from me feeling that I'm the only one with this hobby, to seeing competitions, blogs and people who once were like me (not knowing such community exists). So I usually talk a lot with my clients and ask what they like, what series they collect, how they build, and some stuff.

Tools page!

I am happy to announce the opening of my Tools page (clap clap clap). Here I put the tools which I use in building my kits. People who have little idea on where to use these tools, some good and bad stuff about it, this is the place for you!

I will later update the area of what I am using and compare it with others. A lot of times in Manila, we settle for the first set of tools we see, however, because of our budding gunpla community, we should help the people who are exploring the hobby. The best way is being able to help them budget their money or recommending them tools which can give them the most bang for their buck. A lot of us have already tried a lot of tools and methods, so we should try guiding our fellow modelers!

Here's to us modelers!

Maelstrom WIP part 1: Chest, torso and arms

So here's what I have so far:

As I said earlier, I used the frame of an MG God Gundam.. I figured that the joint above the shoulder could be useful for attaching the shoulder armor of the Tallgeese..At the same time, the screws on the joints makes the kit have the ability to withstand my mistakes in modding if ever..hehehe..as well as heavy weapons..

My escape from the real world..

So, this is my little workshop. Well, its for from a workshop but it works for me :) It's a makeshift "modeling table" from a computer table. It houses my airbrush, files, cutters, sanding materials and all my tools.

For the love of gunpla..

It has been 13 years since I've been introduced to Gundam, the first one being the Wing Gundam which was the first series aired in the Philippines. I learned of the model kits because of my classmate who was playing with a fighter plane with a head popping out of it (the V Gundam core fighter) this intrigued me and later he showed me the whole kit when it was assembled. I got hooked on it the first time I saw it.

MG "Viper" ball project

So here's my weathering and battle damaged practice kit, An MG 1/100 Pod Ball ver. Ka. I really like its simple yet effective design wherein you can really do a lot to make it nice or if you aren't adventurous enough, the Out Of the Box (OOB) finish would look good as is.
