Wounded ReZEL - Complete

After an initial disaster at my first attempt at pastel weathering, my wounded MG ReZEL has been completed. It didn't turn out like I wanted to. Some people like, some don't. Take a look at decide for yourself. My thoughts on the project at the bottom.

Wounded ReZEL WIP Update 02: Pastel Woes

For my damaged ReZEL I decided to give pastel weathering a shot. Everything was going good until I gave it a top coat of Testor's Dull Cote. All of the pastel soaked up into the coat and nearly disappeared.

Wounded ReZEL WIP Update 01

Built this guy a few weeks ago, finally had sometime to get started on it today. (Mainly because I've all but run out of paint for last pieces of my FA Unicorn) Anyhow, this is a short and simple attempt at a battle worn ReZEL inspired by the Unicorn episode two. While in the ep, the leg is severed at the knee, I thought that would be too easy. So I decided to cut (err, melt) at the thickest part.

Full Armor Unicorn Prototype Ver. WIP Update 03

It's been a while since I posted any updated shots. This is how the kit looks prior to transformation. Missing a few parts here and there. It will probably never be in this configuration again.

The legs are finished. A few pieces are over drying still. It's almost ready for a top coat but I'm still debating whether or not to do some decals. But first I need to finish the leg launchers.

The End of Ngee Khiong, A Divided Community?

The Lonely Man

Today was the beginning of a rather sudden end to Ngee Khiong, the leading source for Gundam and mecha related toy news on the internet. For as long as I can remember, having gotten back into Gunpla, I would visit Ngee Khiong on a daily basis (if not more than that). For the English speaking community there is no greater source for breaking news, price announcements, official & show photos, and even front running reviews. Unfortunately NK has decided to close down the site, leaving a giant gap in the community. Leaving a community shocked, saddened, confused, and angry. A community, apparently to blame.

1/48 Gundam, WIP Update #3

I really need to keep track of what updates I post here. Apparently all of my 1/48 Gundam status updates have different titles and different tags. Stupid me. Anyhow, here's my Mega Size 1/48 Gundam as it stands right now...

Still lots of work to do. Plenty of lines need to be refinished, some of the gold and silver details need to be touched up, a little bit of weathering, and at some point a final top coat. You can find our review of this kit here.
