Update and things

Not much to say really, just wanna put some update

Not much to say really, just wanna put some update

Whattup people, things are working well so far. I’ve been working on alot of non gundam related things. Like day job and music. I dont have any plan to stop posting on this page. But as of this time I have other things to do than to build models. I might end up setting up another blog for a general purpose  blogging. But hey, this blog is what got me started, I’m not going to abandon this one for sure.


WIP: 1/144 HG Aegis

Yoa, once again after months of nothing, here breaking the silence, just a little work in progress and some stuff I think I should show,.

Images:

this the current kit I’m working on as you can see, the Aegis, but actually I was planning to topcoat  two other kits but then it rains so I’d just skip doing those,.

WIP 1/144 FG Zaku II Char Custom

Yoa, another month passed with nothing new,  so here the new kit I’m working on, just to break the silence here^_^,.

Images:

so far the only spray painted parts was the knee joints(light gray),

close up of the leg,.

back of the lower leg,.

the head unit with lots of mess, I’m doing this in purpose, letting the paint to dry then scrape the excess paint gives better result for me than the brush alone,.

the typical Zaku II tube,.

the thruster,.

the riffle with wrong paint, it should be light gray.

the hand plain and simple,.

elbow joint, I sand it down both sides to avoid paint scraping,.

paint,. bla bla blah,.

my color guide,.

back of the shield, boring eh?

Well that’s it for this time, I feel sleepy so yeah, thanks for dropping bye,.

Update time,.

Yoa, what’s up everyone, its been months since my last update i or maybe 3 weeks, ive been busy about my school related stuff and personal life, im a student after all, and at this point im almost done with the Astray Gundam, just few details on the body and it’s ready for topcoat,. + i got new monitor, im not going to upload it here since this is just all about model kits but you can check my facebook account to see more stuff about me that is not related to gundam, my facebook name is Katsune Shadowsight, you better check it out if your not busy. ^_^,.


Gundam Astray update,problem and a broken Vfin

What’s up people, i already started working on the Gundam Astray, and so far its getting good, than my first handbrushing nightmare with the Duel Gundam, but i broke the VfinT_T,.

images:

the first problem the broken Vfin, i already fix it but im not sure if that was durable enough,.

second problem, as you can see here, the leg(dont mind the mistakes its still in the process if detailing^_^) has a darker shade of red than the torso in the right, so it means i also need to paint all the molded red parts even its already red because its not in the same shade as the legs,.

so far this is all what ive done,. paint all the parts that are supposed to be  red,.

this is not part of the Gundam Astray, this is from the Blitz Gundam im done with the model it self, its just this part is so hard to do that even force me to use masking tape even its just  hand brushing,.

thats it for these update,. its now time for me to continue the Astray,.


Update time and the model kit build,.

Whats up everyone, its been a long time since my last post here, and now, an update about my next model kit build, and its the NG 1/144 Gundam Astray from Gundam Seed Astray. Im almost done with the Blitz, just painting the shield and im done, so to make use of my spare time, im going to start this red beast,.

Images:

yeah, i believe this is going to be the easiest build based on how it looks out of the box

one of the most unique design, maybe thats the reason why the red, green, and blue frame astrays are in the market to day(or maybe Im wrong^_^)

im really looking forward to build this and most likely is going to be a hand brush build,

well thats it guys, im still in school and have alot of work to do other than school stuff, plus this model kits which is really overwhelming, but time consuming too, checking my blog once a day wont hurt your time schedule, just to know if i have new contents, thanks,.


3 new Model kits,.

This day is an update for 3 new kits, rx-78-2, aegis and buster,.

Images:

Blitz Gundam WIP update

Whats up everyone we have a new update to the 1/144 NG blitz gundam and i repaint the dark gray to black to make it look better, at least in my eyes, so this is a 100% fully painted build,

images:

the feet almost complete just one color to add,.

this is how i mask my kit, and this is why model kits with more curves than edges are hard to build,  you cant bend the masking tape when masking curves, you need to mask it piece by piece,(but this is not the only way to mask model kits^_^ its just my way,.)

WIP: 1/144 Freedom Gundam 90%

Whats up, its me again KatsuneShinsengumi for the last WIP post of my freedom gundam, because probably the next is the show off of the complete model kit, im going to paint these tomorrow morning and see how it will turn out,.

here are some images:

here is the  side of the wing,

and here is the shield, just need to be painted black in those gray parts

some minor details in the side skirt cannon,

the legs almost done just the black part to be painted,

the back of the torso and stuff,.

one of the best chest design i saw

the finished product that act as my paint job guide

and finally the back shot,

so thats it for these, update, it took me about 4 days to mask these because of some personal stuff to finish first, and after these, i can start the blitz gundam and avenge the result of the duel, i might repaint the duel because it really was a horrible result, though I learn alot from the process of it,.

1/144 NG Launcher Strike review teaser(no one can get teased with these)

Another post from nowhere, just giving you guys a teaser for the next review, the 1/144 NG launcher strike, I wasnt been able to post my masking and spray painting tutorial because my monitor died and i have no choice but to use the laptop as my last backup, the problem is the images for the tutorial were in my desktop, so these is it for now, the main review review cant be done today because I broke the left leg peg and its still in curing time for now,. Some images taken from the Morgenroete before the zaft attack(lo!!)

Another images from the same event

last image few minutes before the zaft forces start the raid assult(^_^ lol)

So thats it for these update lets just see what will happen next.,


Awesome happenings,.

alright, these day is really special, i mean really special, why? i was supposed to do a tutorial about spray paint painting and  masking + doing a review of  1/144 no grade launcher strike, and what happen, i break the peg of the launcher strike ‘s left legs so what now? it really ruins my bright schedule, like a cold rainy day, you go out with thick heater type jacket, and suddenly the sun rise up 90 degrees in the sky and you look like an idiot wearing jacket in the middle of the heat, I mean why now? im just one sleep closer to the day of my review and these is what happen? well, what’s done is done, i will just deal with it and lets see what will really happen next,.


Next week greatness

okay, for the next week expect another seed line model 1/144 scale  no grade since i still have a lot of no grades to finish, before my 1/100 and other stuff. and also probably a tutorial about masking and spray can painting.


First entry oh yeah,.

Yoa, im still working for these site so probably the real update will be in next week when the paint is already shipped in mail, at these point im just like a kid learning abcd and screwing my self in 123, lol!!
