It has been a long long~~ time since I last post about my Gunplas coz dun have the time to do so. Hah! Anyways, I collected many pics of it throughout these 3 weeks, and well lets see ^^

1) Bought SD Kakouton Giros, Shibai Sazabi, SD Ryuubi, MSG 00 Gundam, Silver Plated Gundam marker, Gold Gundam marker and the eraser for the markers =D


Shibai Sazabi loooks awesome in the box art ^^


The MSG 00 Gundam cost $3, but it's awesome ^^ The markers work really really well too.


So many boxes for 2009 Gunplas ^^ Collected since CNY

2) Focus on MSG 00 Gundam!

Its a Gashapon, so I thot I cant expect any really good details and colourings, but I was wrong, the detailings were AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Better than if I paint my 00 Gundam LOL!


Front view^^ The V-Fin is a little bendy...


Side view... My phone is too lousy to capture the details in the side of the body =(


Accuracy of details- 100%!!! His head rotates too!


And well, it has a magnet on its back, therefore it sticks on to metal stuff.

3)Shibai-COMPLETED

I took the whole Sat to complete Kakouton and Shibai without doing my holiday homeworks and well, all I could say is 2 Gunplas a day, keeps the homework away ^^

Shibai:"I agree!"

Anyways lets focus on him now. Not much painting need and Well, Everything worked out fine for him except the rear of his helmet. The helmet does't fit perfect and leaves a ugly seam line on the back. To overcome this, I worked together with the seam line after dozen of tries to push in it but failed. And this is what I get:


PANEL LININGS!!! To me, it worked out realll good, didnt expected it. And well, what I used for the linings ain't a Gundam panel liner ^^ It's actually this:


Sakura Micron 01 0.25mm line width. And if Nan Chiau's sec 1s notice, it's in our book list!!! I'm not sure if its in for seniors though.
I started using this for all panel linings of my Gunplas after this and it is really good!

Anyways lets continue with the post. I have to say Shibai has a very similar look to the Sazabi as it represents it.


The thrusters behind looks almost the same as Sazabi's! Even the funnels and the rear skirt armour!


Its swrod is actually Sazabi's beam hawk. And the fan, I think it looks like Sazabi's shield O_O

I think the best pose for him is for to raise his head and looks somewhere and point at it, something like this:

LOL


This is pretty cool too ^^


With is blade, he looks even better.

Okok that's about it for the 'White' Sazabi.
O_O White? Shibai is WHITE or RED(Dataifu ver.)in the first place!
For me, nono. He's neither white nor red, but GOLD! HAH!

I notice that that my Sango gold marker is running out of ink, so I tried to repaint it the whole thing, just to finish the marker as I bought a new one. I repaint the colour scheme and detailed it even more by panel lining more and colouring the interiors of the armour black.

Fav pose of it ^^



Lol, anyways lets have a short comic of it ^^
I turned Shibai into a baddie here^^

Arrival of Shibai! (My family was watching Yi Qie Wan Mei 2 LOL)

Zhang He tried to defend but....

Shibai:"HAIYAH! Death touch!"
Zhang He: "OMG!"

BOOM! Zhang He: "Owww....."


Shibai: "DUN MESS WITH ME!"

LOL Lame. anyways that's about it for Shibai.

4) SD Kakouton- Completed!


Awesome design!
SD Kakouton is really difficult to paint. Small details and the vareity of colours of it piss me off! I completed it in the night, about 9pm if im not wrong. I think I took 4 hours? Oh well. the reason I bought this model is because 1) To complete Sango line and 2)Curious about its weapon.

The weapon- A long blade.

Well nothing diff here rite? But it changes into a whip! I was really curious about this before I bought the kit.

Im not really impressed about the whip but well its a nice feature of it, the blade is more awesome to me. It looks kinda like Exia's Massive GN sword.

"Do you agree?"


"DO YOU AGREE?!!"

Lol, he got too hyper...


Cao Cao troops! I didnt include Cao Cao in the pic coz he was screwed out LOL!

the pics above of Kakouton, if you notice, have two eyes! Actually, it comes with a eye patch, as it was said that he injured his eye in war, both in Sangokuden and San Guo ^^


The eye patch.
That's it for Kakouton!

5) Revive, Ryuubi!

Completed Ryuubi(Liu Bei) in 2 days as I was short of time to do Gunplas. And why is the title Revive! Ryuubi! It's because I tried to have it battle damage, as in after the fight between him(emperor mode) and Cao Cao. They were said to be lost in Zhang He's instruction manual(Comic part). Lol. Took the chance to test my skills in painting with the help of A Gundam Marker Instruction booklet which I got from my local hobby store.
This is what I get...


Im really happy with the results!


I tried to make the right side of the armour looked burnt and well I would give 7/10 for it.
My crappy phone just cant get the pic rite =(

Anyways, other than just having it battle damaged, I used the sivler plated and new gold marker for the first time! The silver plated marker is just too awesome even though it cost about twice as much as normal markers!!!!


Gold for Long Di Jian! Nicer gold than the sango one! and again, you can see the difference between the 2 gold.
I silver plated the V-fin and with some 'bloody' effects.


Hmmm... that's about it for this posting. Im currently re-detailing th SD Exia. I would post it during the next post with a short comic ^^ Cya!
Countdown to 00's final showdown: 2 DAYS!
And yea, 2 more days to the airing of Gundam 00 Season 2 ep25 in Japan, and yep, that's the final ep. Can't wait to watch it! OMG!!! Anyways, there are many pics showing Livonze true MS- Reborns Gundam(Ribbons/Livonze Gundam) Well, it rythmes. I shan't reveal it coz I dun have the pics, but I saw it anyways. I dun wanna be a spoiler =D

There's still many secrets be revealed in ep25.
Anyways, hope that it would be a nice and epic ending.

"00! ターゲットを根絶しなさい"

And well, I think I would feel kinda strange without watching 00 s2 eps in the future Mondays. Just a short post, See ya!

Have been bloggin alot lately.... Anyways guess what?! My dad gave me his drum sticks =D It was awesome! He gave me mainly because I joined the percussion section and needs practising at home =D To prevent any loud noises, Im gonna buy the drum pad soon ^^ By the way, my father said that it was his last pair of sticks which was bought 22 years ago O_O and now he's giving me(Sounds like those Wu Xia Xiao Shuo stuff LOL) Anyways, here's 2 pic of it...


It's really light with a pointy top ^^


Its very long, taller than my com O_O, the one I use in school is shorter I think.(And yeah, my com is showing Ale's blog as I was checking out the fun that I miss yesterday =( I couldn't go Escape with them coz of Band practice. It's not really a bad thing though.)

I read Ale's,WQ's and Denise's post about yesterday, guess that I had missed out lots of fun. Anyways, the lucky thing is, I escaped from the Haunted House and cycling ^^ (I can't cycle for some unknown reasons D= ) I notice Jeff had became taller, very tall I think. And well, he voice broke, that time he call me and I thot it was which idiot calling the wrong number LOLS. Then today, Jeff and I played Gunbound and Halo ^^ (That's rite, we "chong chu jiang hu" ^^) And yea, as I expected, I completely SUCKED I think JEFF won me by a game after playing a couple of games ^^ I cheated using item 2s but still die(OMG wad a noob I am) But still, I nuke the last momment and I thot I was about to lose again when a mirror appeared in front of me and my 2 nukes flew back. LUCKILY, the explosion was so massive that it sucked JEFF all the way, bunging him, while I was still standing on a flat ground, micrometres away from getting bunged. PHEW! Later, Jeff quited and we played Halo. =)

Anyways, I think that's quite about it for this post, if anyone wanna check out more details of the Escape trip, click Ale, Denise or WQ <<< at my links there.

Gundam Season 2 Episode 23

Watched Gundam 00 Season 2 Ep23 on Monday. It was sooo awesome as it had reached the climax, which means there's 2 more episodes before the end of Gundam 00 season 2! I have to say ep 23 is one of the most awesome episode in the 00 series, many suprises happened, therefore, I can't resist to share it with you guys. Anyways, this episode is most about Celestial Being trying to take back Veda, but was attacked by the Innovators. Talking about the Innovators, I think they have gone nuts. Livonze can clone himself, and even cloned Bring and Devine thousands and thousands of times!!! This created the Ga-Ga forces (stupid name). The Ga-Ga forces consisted of mainly new MS(with GN Drives Tau of coz) created by Billy Katagiri. The thing is, everyone had Trans-Am!!! OMFG, even Garazzo and Gadessa... Now its like Gundams vs Gundams and Trans-Am vs Trans-am! But still, I think the Innovators are quite retarded. Instead of just fighting properly with Celestial Being with skills(which they have alot), they tried to ramped themselves towards Potelemy with Trans-Am. It worked quite a little, but isn't it better to fight wth skills? This is not the end yet. Innovators had a big fortress(like Genesis of SEED) and is fully armed, its called Celestial Being, which Livonze said that its the ark to save humanity(I think it's bullshit). This is mainly what happened about the Innovators in this episode.

For Celestial Being, they were more awesome. Equipped with new arnaments(since ep22) they defeated A-Laws(Of coz with the help of Trans-Am Raiser craziness) they managed to fight thier way through the Ga-Ga Forces and reached Veda's location point. There, they were attacked by countless Automatons and Ga-Gas. Soon, the Regenant, Gadessa, Garazzo, Throne Arche and Andrei's Ahead arrives. The 00 Raiser took on the Regenant and Andrei's Ahead, which of coz, defeated Andrei by shooting in the Ahead's thighs, then, the fight between 00 Raiser and Regenant continues. For Cherudim, of coz, his enemy was Ali in the Trone Arche. Lockon did not cared much and took him on. He defeated ThroneArche's Fangs with Cherudim's new rifle bits by ramming everything together. But then, Ali sliced off Cherudim's leg and it doesn't look good for Lockon, well, Cherudim is not mainly for melee combat, can't blame Lockon =( For Allelujah and Soma Peries, their job was the easiest. They just keep spamming around to defend Potelemy from the Ga-Ga forces. But then, Soma's GN Archer was running low of particles and 2 Ga-Gas tried to rammed her. Of coz, Allelujah helped her but only managed to shot one down while the other Ga-Ga rammed straight towards Soma and boom! I don't think Soma dies though ^^ On the other hand, Tiera in the Seravee was caught up in the fight with Trans-Am Gadessa and Trans-Am Garazzo. Seravee went Trans-Am but was defeated easily as Seravee is not amelee Mobile Suit. I was expecting Seraphim though =( ~Dissapointed~ But the lucky thing is, Tiera survives and managed to find Veda's location and pointed his gun towards Livonze in Veda, shocking both Livonze and Healing. Ah! Forgotten to mention that the 0 Gundam had came back into action! Although it doesn't have a GN Drive, it has a GN Condenser. Lasse went to pilot it to defend Potelemy =) The 0 gundam has a striking similarity with the RX-78-2 Gundam.

You guys might think "How in the hell can 6 MS and 1 Ship defeat thousands of MS and 1 gigantic fortress?!?!" Actually, the ESF and Kataron joined in the war and helped Celestial Being. The ESF rebelled and was led by Kati. It was asuprise for me. Then, Patrick led his troops and fought with the Innovators, defending Kati's ship too. But then, they were overwhelmed, nad in order to prevent 2 Ga-ga's from ramming Kati's ship, the Immortal Colassawar(Patrick) sliced one Ga-Ga and was rammed by the other. Before his uit exploded, he said he loves Kati and BOOM! It was so sad =( Though Patrick survived countless times from the attack of the Gundams, he died in the end =( Still, I hope he survives the explosion like what he did in the episodes of Season 1.

After an hour of typing, I think that's about it. It was truly a episode worth to watched over and over again. Im looking forward for ep24 as it was said that Setsuna becomes a Innovator(which I hope is a good one). That's it for now, byebye.

Common tests are over!!! Finally.... Woooohoooooo! Did not get really good results for HMT and Geo but at least I passed, phew... Anyways it has been a really busy and tiring week because of the tests and CCA. Talking about CCA, it was really tiring for the seniors as the SYF is coming. My senior was coaching me to play the snare and he was hitting the timing (with his sticks) while I play the snare when suddenly his sticks flew off. I was like O_O.... He said he was too tired. Lol anyways, I will get really busy this week because of the sports heat and cross country run (can't wait for it ^^), but still, the holidays are coming, any plans?

Anyways.... for Gundams... I got SD Lu Xun ZetaPlus, SD Zhang He Zaku III, HG Seraphim and a white Gundam marker last week.

Oh yeah!
I've completed all of them within a week ^^ and was really suprised that I could get Zhang He as it was just a few days after its release date in Japan. Fast shipping? But still, the kits are really nice, lets see SD Zhang He first.

I completed it when I got home after buying the kits.

Not muching colouring is needed but still, the yellowish 'gold' that Bandai provided is still a big problem. The helmet and weapons needed the gold, I dunno how much gold I have used up just for the helmet...


Love the awesomeness of its sword, I have to say it's one of my fav weapon design in the Sangokuden series.
By the way, the runners for Zhang He's body and helmet is actually from Si Ma Yi Sazabi! Parts of Si Ma Yi are left over and I coloured the helmet into Si Ma Yi's colour scheme just to try out the white marker I bought. The red turned out better than I expected.





Hehe, anyways, I dunno if I should buy the normal Si Ma Yi(500yen) or the Dataifu ver. of it(1050yen). Basically, the Dataifu ver. of it is just a re-colour of it( metallic red coating), the metallic red explains the price.

Okaes, for Lu Xun ZetaPlus... Design wise, it's really nice, its posibility is really good too. Quite alot of colouring needed.


Tada*

The clear blue pieces are really awesome.


Actually, it was said that the silver sticker was to be used to stick on the helmet which is behind the clear piece for the head, instead, I coloured it blue, that's why it have a darker blue.(If you've noticed)Sorry for the crappy quality of the picture from my phone.


Clear blue piece for the halberd. Pretty ^^

Some action poses...





It transforms too, maybe to represent more of the ZetaPlus.
That's it for Lu Xun.... now for Seraphim.

I took the risk to try out my Gundam marker on the clear pieces for the jewel on the head and hands of the Seraphim, it was my first try out. The clear pieces for the elbow is not a prob as I tried on the Arios before.


I coloured the red jewel on the V-Fin if not it will be just yellow and a little bit of red, in other words, not nice ^^




I'm very happy with the results of the green pieces ^^


My Gundam markers have really proved themselves this time!


Overall shot XD

The big V-Fins for the face burst mode are really loose and they even drop off when you pull them lightly... but still, I dare not bother with them too much, just in case it breaks. (They are really fragile)
The legs of the Seraphim are so thin and the feets are about 3 times smaller than the average gunplas that they can barely stand. It does not matter much if you pose it on a stand, but posing it standing up takes more skills than the other gunplas...

Some action poses...


The only weapons provided are the beam sabers.


"Damn you Innovators!"



As the backpack of the Seravee, the Seraphim is really smaller than many other gunplas.

Size comparison between Seraphim and my custom Slaughter Dagger. The Slaugther Dagger is already quite 'small' compared to other gunplas, but the Seraphim, is obviously shorter than it!

Talking about the custom Slaugther Dagger, I re-coloured it with my white and green Gundam marker. Basically. the normal colour scheme is drak grey, grey and maroon, but I changed it to white, green and grey.

=)
Other tan changing the colour scheme, I modded the rifle too. I tried to stuck a beam saber inside the scope, but it doesn't work, therefore, I had to trim away some parts of the beam saber holder and the scope. Then, I guled it together.



For the shield, I coloured the parts with dark grey white and left the grey grey. The next day, while I was using the computer, the shield dropped onto the floor and the parts fell apart.


But, I took the chance and coloured the grey parts green.


This is what I got. I tihnk that it is nicer than just leaving the grey parts grey.


Comparison between the customised one and the original one.


Overall shot ^^

Alrights.... That's it for this post, gotta go, byebye!
