Jestas 2 - Main Assembly Complete
All done and it was a lot of fun. Prepping the parts wasn't so enjoyable but it has to be done. Nubs all over my clothes. On the desk. In the box. On the table. On the carpet. Sanding. Blah. Messy.But it was a nice opportunity to enjoy liste...
Jestas - 1: Pre-production
Alright time to get started. For this build I've decided to just cut everything off of the runners first and then sort out the details later. Here are shots of all the parts plus the runners they came from.Ho ho this one is made in Japan. Kotobuki...

Well there's a lot to say but let's just start with this.All Christmas gifts. This is what's coming. No I haven't given up making models but now that I've finished Skyrim maybe you'll be seeing me blogging a bit more. I'm already starting the proc...
Just Talking - Early October 2011
Fall has come.The days of summer lightning have long passed. I feel like I've been away for a while.Not necessarily away from Gundam but away from this blog. That was intentional. I decided to force myself to focus on other things in my life. It...

Gauntlet - Epilogue 1
I will be posting the same message on my blog and at GAF as well just so that everyone is on the same page.***Time for the text wall.An overdue post but a necessary one. I put off writing it until I had the time to do so. My life became a lot busie...
Theta +
That's what I'm calling it. And I think it is the most insane Gundam I have ever made.
The time has come...
I started this guy a long time ago. About 9 months. Early-Mid December 2010 is when I first got him and first did the unboxing ceremony with all my PG's present, saluting what would be their new leader. The most advanced, newest and most majestic Per...
Late August - Moving hard on the PGSF
Time's running out but I think I can really do this provided my commitment stays as it's been recently.But this is kind of the best part! I can see it now! And I want to see it ALL. This is when it gets kind of crazy for me. The big pushes, worki...
Just Talking - Mid-late Aug 2011 - PGSF
This blog needs an update but I'm so busy working on stuff that I don't have time to update really. But I'll tell you this... 3 painted suits in 6 months is kind of a record for me. It's nice getting into a pattern while learning new stuff along the...
This is the Gauntlet.
3 more weeks to go? Gotta push this. Still working out the scheme. This one is going to be crazy folks. Just a warning.

VS.No I'm not done with it yet... but I'm done for now. There's a certain Gauntlet I have to take care of.
ANA Unicorn Gundam
Another late post but one made in the interest of thoroughness. I did finish the ANA Unicorn Gundam some time ago but I don't think I ever got around to posting pics of it here. The full gallery can be found at the links at the bottom of any of the p...
GM Cannon II
Honestly this is what I was waiting for...The regular one was killing me with that light blue base and dark green armour. Hard to look at it. I can deal with it on the GM Custom because that's just the colour of the suit but it don't think the cont...

Red Army
If you've been a reader here for any length of time you know the story behind these. No links to that. I'm going to leave that in the past where it belongs.The crew is slowly coming out of their boxes. One Gundam, one shot! No retakes!
MG Titanium Finish RX-78-2 - Complete
It was a true joy to make this. Some of the nub marks were really terrible so I used what Gundam Markers I had to help make it look slightly better. I did a lot of work on the frame for this model and spent a lot of time on the little details. As...
MG Exia - WIP 4 - Shoulders
Let's just get right to it.After I shaved the excess putty off, I hand sanded with 180 grit to get it down to the level I wanted it at. In hindsight, I needed this to be flat so I should have used one of my files or sanding sticks. My mistake.I hav...
MG Exia - WIP 3 - Refining
This is where we were last time.I decided to come back to this after working on and finishing a couple of smaller projects that I've yet to post about. I kinda went through some **** last week but hopefully it will leave me more focused for what's c...
Old friends
Since I have a bit more time than I thought to finish the GM Command I'm going to go back and finish something I should have done long ago. I was working on this and then the earthquake hit and I just kinda forgot all about it... Time to wrap it. ...
MG Shenlong - WIP 7 - Finished Painting
Old hockey stick and electrical tape. This is my way.PGSF hand is in there by accident.Fangs? These have got to go. I cut them off.
HGUC - GM Command

Respect your tools
And they will serve you well. お疲れ様です.This project is over. Time to clean it up! Thank you for all your hard work! *bows*This is why I love airbrushing. One whole kit and tons of leftover paint. Trying to be economical here! Clear Green e...
MG Shenlong - WIP 6 - Greens
Preface? Unnecessary.This was fun. The model is simple enough so that it doesn't feel very daunting.3 types of greenHad some tone trouble. Matching parts weren't sprayed exactly the same. I would need to go back and correct it again later. Kinda...
MG Shenlong - WIP 3
Just trying out different back grounds. I did nothing to the white armour. Just left it as is as I'm prone to do. I'm not finicky about my whites unless we're talking about my t-shirts and socks.Sometimes when you're making Gunpla you gotta make s...
MG Shenlong - WIP 3
Going backwards now just to fill in the gaps so bare with me. After I sprayed the frame again I decided to work from the bottom up as usual.Regular Krylon black for the feet + chrome silver for the vents and smaller parts.Lining parts in Testors ena...
MG Shenlong - Hands
Although I'm basically done there are still a couple of things I still want to do. Refining the hands are one of them.Hate that "webbing" in between the fingers. Dragon or not that has got to go.180 grit sand paper, 0.1 mm micro file and exacto-kni...
Plamo Addiction Tradition
Why?Because. That's just how we do it.
