another revived project of mine, started working on this last year and had a lot of plans for this guy. never had enough to do all those plans so i guess this was enough.

its just a simple "battle scene" diorama where the mech is just beat to a pulp (but still fighting)

here is the WIP pics, the build is already completed i just need to take decent shots of it.

better shots next time!

Im happy to know that i still hold the top spot for Gundam Blogs in the Philippines over at TOPBLOGS.com.ph and I just want to thank all those who have continued to support this "site" and those who appreciate my work. I know I am not a top class modeler and i have much to learn but i will continue to keep this blog active and do my best to boost the quality of my Posts for all those who love and enjoy this hobby.

till next time!

decided to pick up products i haven't tried, specifically a gloss coat and primer by Vallejo.

i heard lots of compliments on their products and decided to try it out myself.

oh well, happy building guys!

there are many cheap ways to add more detail to your kits, and one of these are using sewing pins as rivets to give it metal add ons.

materials:

-pinvise 

-sewing pins

as i said, it was a cheap alternative for metal parts. i was able to purchase 600 pcs for around 2 dollars.

to get the result above you're going to need different sized drill bits and a pin vise.

i start by drilling a hole in a specified area with the smallest drill bit i have.

this hole should fit the pin perfectly.

for the next step, you are going to need a bit as big as the head of the sewing pins you will be using.

drill the surface ONLY. do not drill through the piece, you only need to graze the surface for the pin head to fit .

test the fit like so.

i used super glue but regular liquid glue should be able to hold. apply on body of the pin.

carefully slide it back into the drilled area. keep there till the glue dries. them nip of the rest with pliers.

and thats all you need, to detail up your kits with this cheap alternative.

till next time!

as promised, i will keep on updating as i progress on this build. and as of now, i have enough progress to show for my second update! (yay) i continued modding the upper torso, adding more to the ones I've done before. and well.. its going quite great.

i have been using ball pen tips as makeshift metal parts, and they really do come in handy.


i failed scribing the panel line and chose to back out








destiny's effect part re drilled and fitted



primed


and thats all for this update, sorry for little description on whats happening.
i hope the pictures can suffice.

till next time!
