Finished the little Kira figure

So yesterday I moved back into the dorms up in UC Berkeley. That morning though, I was woken up early and I had some time on my hands so I decided to finish up the Kira figure before I leave. Posed it with the Strike and changed Destiny's pose a bit too.

I have to say that the experience has been really helpful, I learned to mix colors using my handy color wheel (I only have the primary red, blue, yellow, and black and white). I feel as if the skin isn't light enough but oh wells I'm Happy with it.

There's the Destiny in a new pose.

On a side note, I ordered a MG Strike Freedom conversion set from Hobbyfan.com It's the one made my Vicious Projects (VP) and I think it'll look really cool. It's resin so I'll need to buy an airbrush when I want to make it. Really looking forward to making my Strike now; I might eve just give it a new paint scheme.

Trying something new

So Gundam models usually come with small figurines of the pilot and another character but they're so tiny I've never been able to do anything about it. The Destiny gundam had some bigger figures of Shinn and Kira and lately I've been trying my hand at painting them, haven't finished though. I don't think it'll turn out very well but since it's my first time, I wasn't hope for much. The Kira one will go great with the Strike Freedom that I'll be making.

My friend thought it was a girl because of the bust but sadly it's just his "pilot suit"

Finally A Post

Sorry it's been so long. My winter break has been very fun, going out spending time with loved ones and what nots. I finished the Destiny gundam. My girlfriend things it looks pretty good, which I would hope so since she bought it for me. She likes the pink wings and I do admit they are a nice touch.


I also went out and bought myself a birthday present (yes it's today!) impulsively when I found this new anime shop that had a lot. I've been meaning to buy the master grade Strike Freedom to complement the Destiny for some time now. It looks amazing (even though I only have the normal version and not the special edition like my Destiny) but I think it will look even better when I can get an airbrush (I also haven't put on any decals for the destiny for that very reason). I'm painting the figures of Shinn and Kira that came along with my Destiny to see how well I can make them. I probably won't be completely finishing the Strike Freedom anytime soon though (well maybe just the pre-build...) since the semester is starting in a week.
