Nightmare Spawn - Photoshoot

I was never into McFarlane toys and never had a liking to figures of such scale but that was before I saw my uncle's stash of Spawn figures.
I opened and assembled the figure and had that urge to put it on a sexy photoshoot.
I do not have any miniature photobooth so a DIY photobooth would do perfectly.
- a black cloth (or any shirt... sheesh)
- a tungsten flashlight especially for this figure
Worry not about lightings if you own a DSLR or any smart camera that shoots perfectly in low light (just dial a low shutter speed)

Photography is trial and error when it comes to toys. Spend more time to discover shots. Also, replicate shots of toy magazines, they help A LOT.

Here are the pictures!!

I depended a lot on the tungsten flashlight for that classy evil look on it while focusing on the skull; fixing the angle so it actually stares at a different 'approachable' subject while holding the skull.

I'm odd because I find that the fractures on the skull are capturing. "I'd rather the skull than your face." So again, I'm focusing the skull (bear with me because it was not actually taken accurately according to the rule of thirds)

Shot of the body till the knees (bloody Nightmare Spawn has bloody long bat-like legs) because I could not maintain whats in the viewfinder if I were to take a full-body shot. 

Well that's all! Hope I don't bore you with only three pictures (I have only taken five shots yet spending two hours last year). Be sure to revisit this blog for upcoming posts and pictures. I will resume Gunpla - scale modelling of fixed mechas - shortly. Thank you!

McFarlane Toys anyone?

Have a I mentioned that I am quite a fan of McFarlane Toys? I have some collection of Spawn action figures. Will post the pictures in the next update.

Open Hatch MG S-Gundam?

I'm planning to do an open hatch of S-Gundam. Still a very early process and I still have a lot to learn. Currently work in progress. 

MSM-07S Z'gok Commander Type

Here are some of the pictures taken at my DIY studio. 

 And a group photo with all the One-eyed units.

Z'gok [Custom Colours]

You've probably heard of Z'gok; yes, that three-times-faster Char Aznable-unit from 0079 which punched and pierced through a GM's cockpit.
Here's what I have to show you.

I sprayed a thin layer of silver to see how it looks like. Guess it looks pleasing at first.
So I applied some more layers of mixed paint. I personally love Gaia notes because of it's vibrant colours. I made a mix of Star Bright Silver, Star Bright Duralumin, Steel, and Gunmetal. All those are metallic colours seeing that the materials used in that era mostly suit the colours used.

Different parts have different tones due to the concentration of Steel colour used.

For the torso, I applied a coat of 80% Clear Red mixed with 20% Mr Clear Color GX Deep Red.
The legs, I reversed the concentration of the mixture.
At the torso, I applied another coat of 60% Star Bright Silver + 20% Star Bright Duralumin + 20% Steel from the top going down. The same mix is applied at the legs to create the similar effect.

I'm back!

It has been more than a whole year! Such a long stop and I'm finally back for more! Please to bear with me (have a bagful of patience) because I have lot (A LOT!) of pictures to update on this blog

MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee (Part 1)

This is one of my early loots during my trip to Kuala Lumpur last year - something very very long time ago.
GBWC event, one day late, no more gifts.
Sad life, I guess. Nevertheless, price of it was cheaper than usual.

It was really big. Having three boxes with the similar size is hard, especially when you are at the airport. 

This time, I built the cockpit first.

It is done with both of its normal and destroy mode. 

There is part 2 and 3.... and maybe 4.
