Shining Gundam

    Up next is some Gundam Goodness, the Shining Gundam from G Gundam. G Gundam is one of my favorite Gundam Series Zen is also a fan of the series, we both love the hot blooded passion of Domon Kashu! And my favorite Gundam from the series is the God Gundam (Burning Gundam to those in the USA), but the Shining Gundam has a special place in my heart too. Its also a favorite unit of mine when playing SRW games.

     About this kit this is from Bandai under the 1/144 scale HGFC line. This kit was given to me as a gift by a friend of mine, we have a tradition between 3 of us. Each year one of us would be in charge of picking a theme then selecting 2 or 3 kits (depends on the person in charge if he wants one for himself). I think the theme for this certain year was hot blooded Gundams? I forgot the other one if it was the Try Burning Gundam or the Kamiki Burning Gundam. The receivers would then do some random selection by drawing lots or ghost ladders to see which kit he gets.

    As for the build of this kit, this is just a simple out of the box painted kit and was completed way back in 2016. This kit was also the first time when I used all hobby grade lacquer paints (gaia notes been using the brand since then). If I recall correctly the difficult parts in building this kit was the seam removal and masking of several parts mainly the shoulder armor, the red part of the torso, the white and gray vents of the backpack, and the red and blue side calf armor. Despite being painted using lacquer based paint, there are a few paint chipping here and there most due to posing the kit. That's about it, enjoy the pictures!

Chun-li Sitting

    So since Zen's currently out of commission I'll be posting some of my old works. I hope I can post all my past works until the most recent one, please look forward to it and be patient lol. To start the year I'm sharing my old contest entry for 2014. So this kit is of Chun-li from street fighter not really much of a fighting game player but she's iconic enough for me to like, and this loli form of her is just too cute. 

  

    So this kit is a re-cast from E2046 but it seems the product page has been taken down as of writing this post. After some digging around from the internet I've found the original sculptor of the figure. It's by Ton-san of Amehare(「雨の日晴の日」のトンさん).


    So regarding the build of this kit, this has been my first time painting anything in candy colors. And after this kit I've fallen in love with how it looks! Look forward to future posts I got 3 more figures painted in candy colors. I also love how the see thru panty hose turned out. As for the pictures these were taken way back in 2014 and damn do they suck, please bear with them as I currently don't have it on hand to retake some pictures and generally I suck at taking pictures.
