In-Progress Projects

So the two projects I'm going to be working on next is the GN Arms (I am going to try a full new color scheme) and the Skygrasper. I've been wanting to try making a Perfect Grade and thought I'd try with something small. I was pleasantly surprised, it's quite detailed and the paint job is pretty nice. It could certainly use a few touches here and there so I'll do that and then maybe go towards either the Aile Striker for it or the Unicorn gundam. I've also got my Strike Freedom and my PG Strike to do but I'm saving those for when I have an AB.

Here's two pics of the snapfitted skygrasper


I also finished my Exia completely. Even the yellow cheeks

I wasn't very fond of the design when I first saw it but I think it's grown on me. I want to assemble the whole Gundam 00 Team in 1/100 scale but I think I'll wait for the MG version of Exia. You know it's going to come.

I also bought some Revoltech figures. The new movie version of Eva 00 and Eva 01. I love Neon Genesis, one of the all time favorite animes and I hope that the ending to the movies will be better. The first movie was really good, in my opinion.

Both figures look might cool, great posability too!

Well, this post is longer than I thought it'd be. I hope to be able to update next time with some new pictures and some actual progress on my projects!

No, I'm not dead

Yeah it's been a long time but I didn't know people would actually come to this site. Well I've been working on my 1/144th Exia and the GN Arms. I've snap fitted both (the GN Arms just recently) and have been painting but I've come to a stall because I haven't had time to buy some more paint. I wasn't able to take many pictures because my camera's battery died (after 3 days of use) but I'll show you what I've gotten done.


I always paint from lightest to darkest (as you should!) and so I only still need to paint a few places grey and then do the panel lines. I like how the red came out on the shins and thighs.


Action shot! Plus a shot of the Exia in the GN Arms. The GN Arms is really cool looking but definitely needs a lot more paintwork to make it look more fearsome. Look forward to this project, I plan to invest a considerable amount of time in it.

I also actually snapfitted another model to begin thinking bout what colors I would need to paint it (FX-550). I also bought two figures that look really cool from one of my favorite series. I'll be sure to have pictures in my next post.
