MA-08 BYG ZAM

Back again with two loots from the local-most-preferable-one-and-only-Hobby Kingdom.
Yes two loots, Byg Zam and Elmeth. But I'm going to post Byg Zam first, because that's how epic it is. 
Here's the box as usual.


I forgot to take the picture of the booklet and the runners. Hoho I was too excited, You could say it was a first try on SD's. 


I painted the 'flying claws'. A mix of black and neutral grey, by heart. Mr.Color and Gaia, that's right, let them be together. 


Then the gigantic head was painted, with a large brush....stains are everywhere. Here's the pic before the stains were removed. Then it was sanded....to remove the stains. 


Still with stains but I'm lazy lololololo Just kidding.
It was cleaned, 3 months after this pic was taken, that is. 











Super Virtua-Simulation Battle Plamo:Wars

Something I bought from Signature, since modelers don't loiter around there. I got it without worrying :P 
Here's the box.


I'm old enough to buy this, why not? 


Time to explore the booklet. It's has a one-page comic section, quite rare though. 


Still fun to build despite the number of parts and steps.


The parts. Forgive me for the blurry picture. 


The arm attached to the shoulder because that's how epic Bandai was in 1999.
Used a filer to roughen the surface and applied water based black ink, any marker will do as long as it's water based. Oil based should do the trick too but it's for the sake of the cleaning part :)


The head and torso. What a sexy beast. Again the same thing done as before, filers and markers.



And it's done!! And those useless shaking hands of mine gave it a WONDERFUL paint job.

MS-07B Gouf

Uploading pictures in Facebook are sometimes a pain in the neck, especially when the network is really really really bad :( 
It kills.
This is it, the extra finish version. 


It's a first time getting such model with such advantage good stuff Bandai-like-skills of making things special.


The number of parts....as expected. But the shiny surface of it is unforgivably tempting. One thing I don't like about it's shininess, once it's scratched, there's no turning back. 


Always the awesome booklet. 


100%, man. 100%. 


Unforgivable blur images. There you go for the torso part. 



Fell in love with the shining body. 


With the sexy legs


''Honey, I've been waiting here for an hour''
AHA this was finished a year ago and I have found the perfect time to post something about this officially. Lousy hectic schedule.
Anyway, cheers to Gunpla.
