White Tiger Sonken in the making Part.3

Busy weeks ahead, no much time to do gunpla these days, but hey, least abit still got progress, even though slower than usual. ^^"


Today's paint job is involving painting the orb with blue. I use the Mr.Color Meta-Blue for these details.


Some orbs on skirts details has been painted with Meta-Blue as well.


Painted & panel line with Gundam Marker panel liner Brown.


I also have done paint the mask, although it's kinda messy which I'll need to repaint the silver again, but the color quite OK there.


This going to be a long day to repaint those excess....^^" & finish it with Gundam Marker panel liner Gray.


A look of how it should be. Oh wow, different aura ! I RIKE !

=)

White Tiger Sonken in the making Part.2

OK let's continue.


Hand painting in progress. I don't know why, but I tend to do it on the floor w/ or w/o carpet. ^^"


Well, can say that Light Armor mode is complete, for now.


Not to mention, last week loots. Finally succumb into Quantum System lolz.

Few weeks ago I had ordered 2 packs of FS for 00Q, plastic injection instead of resin. Quality wise ? Well, I won't say that bad, but its not that good either.


All the parts. I meh'd in the process of sanding, cleaning excess etc.. felt like dealing with resin parts....orz

All this parts best work with cement instead of just snap fitting.


Can you see that the transparent part is actually bend on the edge ? I don't know if hair dryer could do the magic here though.


Another look of bend edge.

So, another weekends has passed, welcoming the 1st week of April. Darn, talk about work loads at office...>.>"

But, on that evening after work, manage to complete at least 80% of this kit, and the result is quite an eye catching.


Stunning White Tiger Sonken with colors.(partially though.)

I'll say AWESOME! but after the hand painting session, had a headache, think because of the thinner....orz..


Since I don't want to keep in the box, afraid the parts in it will scratch this well painted kit, so I ask for a space in their display case in Hobby Kingdom, just to let it dry...^^"


Koumei Nu, Nightingale Shibai & new addition kit, White Tiger Sonken.


Now troubled on how to paint the blue details on the gold armors..hmmm...think it's time to use the super fine brush from Tamiya, bought long time ago.

=)

Ze April Foolz.

Of all days, the most, annoying, hateful day is upon us.

I'll swallow anyone alive who foolz me. Heh ! Kidding ~

Meh, go home going to snap some WIP pics later.

=)

White Tiger Sonken in the making.

The most less post I've in this month hahaha...that's bad. ^^" But good news is, I've getting used of workloads from office, kinda faster doing it already, so, more time for gunpla ~

This pic is taken from last Saturday night, which I hand painted it 'til around 12am...geez talk about overtime. ^^"


Doing it at Dining Room while watching FOX channel is so great to tension relieve. But messy table indeed.


Carefully paint the silver 1st, panel line it to cover up excess, then repaint the middle detail with Gaia Bright Gold. Ugh smelly paint.....


Comparison between Mr.Color's Gold & Gaia Bright Gold. Which is better ? Kinda obvious huh.


Actually I don't know which kind of red I wanna use, so I just settle down with Gundam Marker S-Destiny Red instead.


Front skirt & side skirts. I've yet to paint black on the side skirts' borders.


A all-gold sword never impress me, I mean, it's rich with details but just in 1 color, what the fish ?? So I paint it for my liking, a real sword should look like this. Now left is to fill it up with meta-blue paint.


The body. Waiting to be black.


Silver paint + hand painting = just like the result of spray can. Very even layer with just 1 layer !


Environment "un"friendly method....


Claws are painted with silver also, not some pure gold thing.


According from the box art, this part left white only, BORING ! So I paint just the details with gold.


Tiger lower jaw. 1 layer does it all. =D


So like, at the end of my painting session, while cleaning all the plates, just notice that the excess from Gaia Bright Gold is silver. Wow, talk about rich colors.

=)

March - the month I'm so busy......

Well can say like, less time for my gunpla for these few weeks, so tired after work since I've changed agency from my previous work...huh...

Anyway, I did make a lil' bit progress though. =)


Finally done mod the joints, then I can prime the armors.


The more I looked at it, the more I feel proud on it. ^^"


Way cooler than default joint-less kit.


The light armor mode. Going to panel line 1st for reference when I'ma hand paint it.
