First off, I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments and remarks

hmm... its like this, a unicorn gundam without decals is just like a dalmatian without its black spots
It would look too plain without the decals IMO, much more if it is in unicorn mode.

ok ok, now to explain why I refer to it as a custom work.
I made 3 modifications on it actually:

1. I changed the color scheme (a little bit)
- I used a lighter shade of gray for its visible joint parts previously dark gray which seems to stand out to much and does not compliment the white armor.
- I added a coat of pure white to the armor (a whiter white color in other words )

2. I made use of water transfer decals rather than the included generic stickers which came with the box. (the only advantage I noticed was cleaner results in rough, multi-angled and uneven areas)

3. I made modifications to its legs (knee part and lower legs to be precise). In its actual design the knee can be bent only at a limited angle limiting its pose. Thus i decided to remodel it a bit by removing some excess plastic on both external and internal parts on the knee area to provide greater movement. See pics below for more info.

as of now, there is no news of it being animated.
Only new thing i saw related to this is the upcoming december MG release which would be the Sinanju (which closely resembles a sazabi) which came from this series.


Here's some dev't pics of the wing zero

Knee mod


Above is an image of the original knee design


I decided to modify the external parts first which gave a bit more movement but the result wasn't enough



After some cuts here and there, I finally got a satisfying angle of movement

With it, the following poses became possible:



Much better than any standing pose if u ask me.

you've been infected by the Goat syndrome


Just bought a new kit which was recently released

The articulation points of this kit is amazing, far better than any previously released Master Grades.


As for my next project:

Note: expect delays.... long delays


PS: I'll be posting stuffs on the Trading Post so feel free to drop by there.

hey cabs do you smoke HERBS ( O____O?) Hows the herbs in japan....*insert googled youtube vid showing pro hemp/weed rallies in japan* ps3 cant copy pasta. Oh for a moment i thought your wallpaper was a hemp leaf......

been a long time since I've posted anything here. so what better way to revive it, is by showing off some goodies


first off is the Limited SUPPLICE edition of the AALIYAH kit

:: pretty dark colored, I didn't like it but with some customizations.... hmm maybe *thinking*

next one is the ever so popular WHITE GLINT

:: as you might notice at the lower right part of the picture, it says 7140yen highway robbery


another seen on the wild is the VF-25F Armored Messaiah

:: enduring the urge to buy the previous 2 versions was all worth it
The kit is much thicker and noticeably much heavier than the previous versions, mainly because of the added parts of the armored pack unit and the included SMS stand. As seen on the box art, it also includes a sniper rifle other than the regular gun pod.
Definitely a must buy


next is the KOTOBUKIYA version of VOOT's SPECINEFF

:: being a fan of VOOT, I can't help but notice this one

that's all for now...
again sorry for the low quality of the pictures, since my only option is to use my crappy cell camera on taking those pictures (much less conspicuous)


oh yeah, here is a sneak peek of my current work (3 months pending/delayed already)

the only thing left to do is to add the decals and some finishing touches to make it complete.
The only thing hindering me for all these months is that something seems to be wrong with the color scheme that I designed for it and I can't quite tell on what it is. Until this issue is addressed, this will stay locked away on my closet
Any ideas anyone?


oh, a new smiley /spam


@Hempire
nope, but it probably tastes like green tea

Si Bumblebee Gundam na!

Seriously though, I think the paint scheme is nice. I dunno why you think something's wrong with it.

BumbleGundam.

Er, Nerese likes to paint in the same color scheme.

You have whole body shot of those?

Yesh. Black+Yellow+Gray rocks.

grave dig!!!

what better way to revive a thread, than to show everyone my cool new toy





I was just on my way to the video games section to buy mark a psn card, thats when I saw it, liked it.... then after a few glances on my wallet... finally bought it

Talk about unplanned expenses, oh well... it looks like I'll be having cup noodles for the rest of the week
