The Rebirth of SDs!


The SDs I bought when I was a beginner in Gunpla. I notice alot of crap sticker pasting, seam lines and ugly marks on them, Garrhh!
Well, this won't take too long for you to read but it's gonna be long for me to post as my hands are freezing coz of the air-con....
Anyways here are my SD SEEDs and Destinys that I painted with detailing. I have to say the Strike Freedom is the best paint job I did among these 4 SDs.



Lets focus on them 1 by 1 =D

Freedom, Ikimasu!
Awesome suit, awesome model. Really worth the price and well here is mine ^^


Gold vents! Hah, I really like the gold =D
I think I took 2 days to complete it. Actually, I didn't wanted to paint it but well, after considering here and there (blah blah blah) I decided: Why not?


Gold thrusters! Really love gold!


Hah that's it for Freedom, now for Justice!

Justice! The Red Knight!
The worse paint job among the 4 and the first to paint among the 4. I was just taking it out to pose around when I though about painting it.


I didn't have the colour for the shield so I painted red =( Also, Gold vents and Gold CIWS(Head "pistols" thingy)


A little of gold here and there for the backpack and grey for vents, thrusters. White for wings and beam cannons.


Beam saber from SD Impulse!

And well....


Freedom and Justice! SEED's best suits! ^^

Now for SEED Destiny!
Destiny! The 3rd painted one!

Oh well the 3rd paint and 3rd in paint job ranking among the 4.


Gold for wrist guards and some gold here and there on feet guards. Grey for rifle and black for wings. Wanted to paint gold for vents but the tip of the marker just couldn't get it, therefore, I use the grey panel lining marker to detail it.
Didn't took a rear pic of it but I took some poses.


Shield painted metallic blue underneath to give a purple look. Anti-Ship sword painted black with grey coz I do not have the light blue colour. Darken the beam for the sword with metallic red.


Painted the tip of the sword with chrome silver.
That's about if for Destiny.

Preview to Strike Freedom!
(Short comic ver.)


Destiny flying to the battle field.....

Suddenly!

Shinn:"Beam?! Who's that?!"


Shinn:"Fre...Freedom?!?! I thought I killed you!"

Meanwhile...

......


......


Kira:"Quick finsih the paint job for my Strike Freedom! And Freedom, Don't still my show!!!!!"

Hah! with such an angry Kira, how can I slack?

I didn't take pics for it except the half completed paint job.


Gold vents again! Gold fists! Gold beam cannon! Gold joints! LOL
this is the onlt pic for it =( Sorry guys anyways, you can refer to the first pic, it's completed. And well, I was too lazy to paint the small twin beam rifles, if I have the time, I might do it next time.

Ok that's about for this post. MYE are coming, cant slack but well, I'd still be Gunplaing! Bye bye!

Full of Gunplas!

Well, it's only been a day since the last post... but this post is just for Gundams =D and erm... there's Garuru too =) Anyways lets cut the crap and get started, this is gonna get real long.

1) Lets start with the short comic thai I promised at the last Gunpla post, and well, here it is!


Si Ma Yi:"The Imperial Dragon Sword! Give it to me, Liu Bei!"


Si Ma Yi:"HAIYAAAAAHHH!!!"


Liu Bei:"Huhh...???"

BOOOM!


Liu Bei:"Hah!"


Si Ma yi:"Damn! It's the Imperial Dragon Sword!"

Hah! Lol oh well.... Lets get on to the next part..

2) Garazzo! Its completed and well, here's some pics of it. More paintings then Gadessa and well I slack quite abit on this =P


Sorry for blurry pics but anyway, I just completed it when I took the picture =)


The beam claw is amazing, but it can't be "open" like in the anime and..... the colour is a little off so I decided to paint it, both the palms and beam.


Darker beams and painted palms =) Well.... I didn't use Gundam Marker for the beams, instead, I use this...

"Painty" Orange type thingy....(Im not sure of the name)

And well this helped to paint the beams darker but well, the clear effect of the beam part is pretty much gone =( Oh well, anyways I prefer darker beams =D

Other than the GN Beam Claws, there are other hands for the Garazzo too. Close fists and open palms. Some paintings are needed though and it's quite small to paint where it gets inbetween the fingers of the close fist.


This model just have awesome articulation and poses. It's beam claw sure is an awesome feature ^^


Claw stab?! LOL


Awesome twin claw, one of my fav poses.


Twin claw with GN Field, sure win!
The GN Field is at the left side of Garazzo's shoulder armour. When the red piece is pulled out, it reveals a coat of gold(which I painted) and of coz, activates the GN Field in the anime.


Flying poses are possible too with the help of the extra stand that comes with the base.


First encounter with 00 Gundam!

Overall, it's an awesome model with awesome articulation and kick-ass poses. But quite a few paintings are needed. For me, I painted the GN drive of the escape pod red, and well, the GN Field gold and uncountable vents grey. Well I think there's more but I just cant remember LOL...

3) Garuru Chu-i! Yep, finally it's Garuru, Mr Jun.Hong must be waiting for this =P
I think this is one of my fav Keroro models I ever build, exculding the Robos. Articulation kicks ass and well, the arnaments are awesome too. But well, the only flaw is that, the sniper it comes with is just too big for Garuru to handle, but well it sure is and awesome weapon which help spice up the poses!


Painted the white "circle" of the strap and the base black. Oh yea, also paintd black for the strap. I chose the eyes with no pupils as I think it looked nicer =)


"Garuru! Sniping the targets!"
And yea, that's Garuru with is awesome snipe and the wings of "light"!
The wings are a win for the kit and well, I painted the backpack of it grey, with some red for the "circle" thingy, and though I didn't have the same colour for the sniper, I used black for the parts that were suposed to be dark purple I think. And erm... I also painted the inner scope light blue.


It also comes with a small rifle which I painted grey. =D


Borrow a rocket launcher from the SD Zaku II, it fits perfectly for Garuru!
That's about it for Garuru. =D

3) Modifications!!!
First attempt to do a battle damage modification on one of my Gunplas. I chose the SD "Alex" Gundam as I broke its feel last year and well, I cant stand the way it was and tried to make it battle damaged ^^ It took me for a week to have it completely done. 2 to 3 days for all the damages and stuuf coz of schoool work and well, the rest of the days are for the touch-ups.


Tada! How's it? Inspired from Exia Repair, I damaged the head most. I cut the side burns and painted one of the eye red, like a Zaku eye. The left arm and leg was taken away to bring out the damage it recieved for the left. I didnt tried to detailed it, except for the damages.


Backpack damaged! Its my fav part as I aciddentally cut it but it ended up with a little "melted" look. Once again, it's on the left =D Sorry, the pic is too blur =(

The pics above was taken after the 2 to 3 days of hard work.
And well now, this pic was taken at the 5th day? I think...


Bent the V-fin more, well I think it doesn't look so good and I decided to cut the V-fin on the left off. It was then at the last day of touching up. =)


V-finless, but blurry pics =(

Anyways here's a short comic about it...I love comics!

Alex was getting spammed by beams!
And well....
Later...

Alex:"Owww....Shit!"

Suddenly!

Alex:"Tha...that Zaku II! OMG! I gotta do something!"


"SZIONK!"(Pulled out beam saber) =D


Alex:"Hyaaaaaaaaaah!!!~"
Zaku:"Huh?..."


Zaku:"OMG?!?!"

Hah! With that, it's the end for this part =)

4) Tieren, RECOLOURED!
Decided to recolour Tieren out of boredom. Whole process took about 5 to 8 hours. I did it on 2 days.


Tada! Made it into a snowy type colour scheme. Good for snowy combats? Lol anyways, I modded the weapon by cutting a little bt off the carbon blade and super glued it into the shield that was supposed to be on the leg. Now, the tieren has a hand-held shield with blade kind of weapon ^^


Seed Frame Astrays?! Isn't Tieren from the 00 series?! Lol yea it is, but I decided to place the Astray stickers as it fits the big and plain shield ^^
(Sprry for blurry pics)


From Bandai! Hah! Lol place it for fun. (Can't really see coz of bad quality images D=)

5) SD Exia! Re-detailed with some paintings!
The project of mine that was about 4 weeks ago.


All parts nicely placed on one side ^^
After hours of sweat and paint....


Wooo! Like it better than before!!! I didn't paint some parts as I dun wanna risk to ruin it. For eg, the sideburns and the joints of the arm.


Markers I used for the job. Forgotten to tak a pic of the Gold marker...ZZZ...


Exia! Setsuna.F.Seiei! Exterminating the targets!


Exia! Setsuna.F.Seiei! Cutting up a path for the future!

Sheesh... LOL

6) Bacho Blue Destiny! Completed! Awesome SD model! Price is as the same as many other Sango kits but the arnaments it came with is more than that =D


Awesome weapon!(Lol it's my customisation)


The true weapon of his with EXAM system! (Red eyes) Big dragon head during EXAM system and the friggin weapon is so much taller than the model itself. Even Blaze Zaku was so jealous that he wana shoot Bacho LOL


Hair also stands up during EXAM System.

ALSO!

The dragon that comes with Emperor Ryuubi can be mount on Bacho shoulder. Im waiting for HuangZhong to complete the five generals or Liu Bei.


EXAM System +Ryuubi's Dragon +Giant weapon =PWNAGE!

Okaes that's about it for this lot of Gunpla post. Too lazy to post the Painting Project of SD Seeds and Destinys models. May post it next time....
Lets end the post with all my "homeless" Gunplas, my display cupboard is friggin full!


BYE WORLD!
