Messing around with Gunpla and Coloured Lights

About a week ago I saw this image refereced on Reddit and figured it might be fun to try out a few of those setups on some of my kits starting with the coloured backlighting all the way at the end.

A few weeks ago I redid my photo area, opting for a gray surface in front of black muslin. This created a gap between the table and the backdrop which allows me to throw in a bit of backlighting. I got myself an inexpensive colour changing LED bulb, placed it behind the table, and started taking photos. read more

MG Sazabi ver. Ka – Completed Build

I’m please to present my latest build, the MG Sazabi ver. Ka. It hasn’t been without issue, I’ve definitely run into some complications here and there which I’ll get into later. For the most part things came together pretty well. There are a few things I wish I could go back and redo (would likely require buying another kit) to get 100% right. Oh well, what good is a build there aren’t lessons learned? The build took around two months from start to finish and boy did time fly. Lots of painting, lots of top coating, lots and lots of pieces. For the most part it was smooth sailing thanks to a methodical paint process. read more

Sazabi ver. Ka – Almost Complete

I haven’t said much about this project on OR but I figure the day before it’s finally complete is a good a time as any to post some work-in-progess shots. Painting wise, everything is complete. Decals are on (surprisingly without major incident) and the top coat is on. I’m just making a few small detail tweaks where and there as I assemble the kit for the last time.

Take a look at some of the pieces as they’re starting to come together…
