Posing possibilities!

Posing has always been one of the most important role in Gunpla. Without a great pose, a model is pretty much expressionless! And as requested by my friend, I decided to write on this topic before taking a break for my exams!
What does it comes to your mind when it comes to posing? How do you want to pose your models and make it stand out from others? For me, I think that a model with great articulation will be the best choice! The model does not need to have too much gimmicks, just a plain simple, well articulated model will do. The angle of posing is also very important as well, I am certain that you do not want your model to look so awkward in a great pose yeah?
For a standing pose, instead of having the model to stand so upright and awkward, try making it more dynamic!
The head can be looking down, staring angrily at something. Spread the arms and legs apart, bend the arms a little and there you have it!
For a ground pose, instead of having just the rifle up, pointing at something, you can have the shield ramming at something, or even make use of the waist articulation and have it shooting something behind!
For aerial poses, a action base really helps the model to get the pose you desired. With the action base, almost any poses you want can be done, just let your creativity run wild! ^^
Make use of every single thing the model have. Be it the weapons, articulation, gimmicks or even the story behind the model, they can be really helpful for posing!
Although SDs are not as articulated as HGs or MGs, they can be really good at posing as well!
Aiming down at the barrel, charging with the sword, or even pointing the sword arrogantly at something, a SD kit can do it as well!
So yeap, there are endless possibilities of posing your models!
Be it a riding pose...
A simple patrolling stance...
Standing upright...
Or even a flying stance, these poses can look great and really stand out from other models by adding a little creativity to it!
That's all for this post! Hope you had enjoy it and the pictures.
Till the next post and have fun posing your models!

Posing is a definite must for good photos ^^. I can't stand it when I just see a normal post like standing!! Gundam shots must be dynamic to bring them to life! Good post dude ^^
