Weekly WIP - 1/100 MG Marasai (Part 1)

Still highlighting the and gloss coating the Full Armor 00XN Raiser, so I thought I'd show of my next big project. This will be my entry into the Gundam Eclipse Summer War Contest. Will likely be under the Modified category, just not sure about if it falls Intermediate or Advanced. Will have to check on that.

So here's my entry pass.

Haven't done much yet. Really just snapped it together. Here's the pose the kit will be in.

The waist can't support the weights so slouches a lot. Will be fixed, but this is more or less the pose. Ordered some parts and the decals. There is a hint as to what the color scheme will be. Can you spot it?

What else I'm into...

Euro 2012. Although most of the matches full during work hours, I have managed to catch quite a few games. Not sure why FIFA doesn't like replay, but if they like getting calls wrong, so be it. Been a fun tournament to watch regardless. Looks like it's headed to a Germany v Spain title game which would be great. In the mean time, I'm looking forward to Spain v Portugal match in a few days. 

Weekly WIP - Full Armor XN Raiser (Part 12)

Quick update. Been doing a ton of painting. Only managed to base coat the grey parts. Based coated and highlighted all the yellow, red, blue and white parts. Personally I don't think the resin parts look good. They needed so much work. Way beyond my skill level. Yellow isn't as bright as I thought it would be. Looked good on the spoon. Not sure what happened. Everything else looks good. Can't really see the red highlight, but it's there. It should show up better in the final result.

Also managed to finish a few parts.

What else I'm into...

CEO 2012. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 tourney was awesome. So many good players. So many great matches. If you didn't catch it, check out the youtube vids that will probably be up in a few days. They're about the run the Top 24 for Street Fighter 4 AE so until next time...

Weekly WIP - Full Armor XN Raiser (Part 11)

I've been a bit lazy with the blog lately. Been spending most of my free time modeling and not updating you guys. Sorry. I do have a quick update though. Finished a few pieces. Below is a sample of the finished parts.

This is the only fully complete part of the kit. What do you think?

I've been spending a ton of time prepping these parts. The rest parts were a mess. Now, they're borderline acceptable. But I'll be going into that more in the future. So here's all the parts I have waiting for paint. Pic is a little blurry, but I think you can see there's a lot there. To give you perspective, that's an MG Astray Red Frame in there.

What else I'm into...

The beautiful game! The sweet science! The sport of kings! Dive Kick!!!! Just check out the trailer below.
