Lil' Updates #4~

Trying my sis's camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70 for update some of my gunpla pics. Although it's not that sharp even though using ISO mode, but the pic taken is less noise than ISO mode for Sony Cybershot DSC-S650.

1st off, the dual sword.
Ok, as all you can see, I getting lazy to paint the dragon mark itself, instead, I just paint whole middle into gold, using gold gundam marker. Turns out it looks nice too !

Closer look on Red Sword. Haha, the gold color not "rata".......

...but the Blue Sword has more flatten gold color than red. I wonder why...(You lazy ma..^^")

Haha, put that aside 1st since I already top coat it, waiting it dried up 1st then.

Now, to the "botak chai mode" of Emperor Ryuubi....(LoLz...^^")

Yes more gold details ~ But the the dragon symbol on the forehead, dunno why I use blue instead of...um..gold... But think ok la like that. :)

Closer look = spot my mistakes. (^^")

Put the eye sticker to see how it will look like. NICE !

Side view. GENG !

This side, nice or not ar using the eye green gundam marker for the stripes ? Kinda feel weird this color suitable or not. Suggestion ?

While I'm busy painting, something sleepy on my bed.....

........^^".

Ok time to rest for few hours 1st before continue painting ~

Updates #3~

Ok more chroming parts done desu ~ Assembled the armor parts into a dragon mode.
Sugoi nee ~

Like this won't hurt eyes liao. Like a real dragon flying eh !



"Moar !" ^^"



...& after that, change it into a dragon statue-like.

Ok that's the 1st that has done. Now to the the character, Emperor Ryuubi ~

Day by day been looking for the best color scheme to do on it, finally thought of something good, well it's just good, not too good ok ? 'kay 'nuff crap talking, show the pictures 1st.





Ok the gold isn't nice, I admit. But look on far view, it looks nice with those combination colors ~

Bored with that pose, so try did some pose no stock Sangoku kit could do ~

~dashing slash pose ~

~Charge Through !~

Hah, I've moved when taking this pic, instead of look bad, it turns out looks better like that, as if got motion blur. (LoLz !)

& lastly, my favorite pose, battle stance !

Haha, coloring detail with 3000% concentration is really tiring, especially those "cloudy" shape to paint it gold. ;) Anyway, I try my best to complete this kit ! Ganbate ganbate ~

Updates #2 ~

Ok ok I know I haven't post any of my updates since last week, 'coz got alot things to do beside gunpla too.

Unfortunately, I had to ditch my current project on Kannei Kampher for a while to give way for my favorite, Emperor Ryuubi !

As seen in my previous post, I had done spraying chrome silver on some of the armors, pictures below ~
Right dragon shoulder armor.

V-fin [big].

V-fin [small]. ^^"

Left dragon shoulder armor.

Armors after gives top coats onto it. Looks more flat now & more protection for the paints.

2nd batch cemented parts.

Comparison between modded arm & stock arm.

Only manage to make it do 90 degrees only.

Completed joints mod ! Sorry forgot to take WIP on the legs though...gomen ~~

Side view desu ~

Some silly action pose ^^"

Comparison between Ryomou Dijeh & Emperor Ryuubi. Same height !

Attached dragon armors on to it. Nice !

Ok, time to get busy on other things now. Ja nee ~

Updates ~

Finally done stripping off those annoying plate gold, in exchange, my gundam marker eraser just dried up because of rubbing those color off...what a waste, but what to do, I don't Mr. Thinner or any alcohol based liquid to do so.

Oh well, important is it was done. ^^

Black Dragon / Armor / ???. I was thinking, instead of gold, I want to add some color that really close to a chinese dragon, what ya all say ? Matt gold, light green, meta-green, meta-red & white with a pearlish finish. Would it look good like that ? Or I try the dragon's color like the picture below



Ok Dijeh is now standing with both its foot on. With a slight miscalculate on right leg's height, & done trimming it to match the same height, now he's ready to be paint. Although the movement is limited, better than stock of course. ^^"

Was trying to make it sit down, but that's mean another skirt mod had to do. So for now just did the lazy bum pose..LoLz. ^^"

Dijeh Punch ! Weird, it doesn't look like he was punching......don't know where I did wrong.



Still remember my long undone Kannei Kampher ? Finally he also going to be mod with simple joint movement, & a layer of translucent blue.

Yes, very simple mod, yet it's still limited movement. Haiz...

Oh well, I try to do it slowly as I'm now undergo some tutorial for photoshop & dreamweaver. Want to make this blog better ~

Edited: Manage to finish the left leg, so this is the result alongside with Ryomou Dijeh. Kannei Kampher pretty much small abit than Dijeh eh.

How I hate these plated gold parts....

OK, before I start posting some pictures related to gunpla, I took this picture after 1st wash on plated parts.....


Yes, it's a fat siamese kitty sleepy inside the CD compartment. How come I didn't notice it goes in & slept in it ? LoLz....







Look how confortable she is...gosh..

Ok ok that's should be fine for the opening (LoLz !), right now I'm trying to strip off those annoying plate gold on Emperor Ryuubi, but can't find any guide that could assist me to do so...

These are the parts after 1st 2 hours soaking in bleach + floor cleaner.....


Top part is the back of the gold plate parts, the one that factory didn't bother to spray the plate coats. Below part is the front. How I wish they change it to matt gold instead of plated gold though...


It's quite creepy to see how the detergent used to stripping gold plated color, like infected by some sort of bacteria or something....


On this part, I erase the gold part with the gundam marker eraser, which at the end getting lazy to wipe all 27 plated gold parts...


Well, another tough day to do gunpla, hope all parts are stripped so that I can start seam covering tomorrow....

=)
