GBWC Malaysia at IPC 2014

Yeah yeah yeah, its late but better not posting. Most of you might have saw these picture and even the world Championship has been announce but I'm still going to post here.

I guess this is the second time that the organizer held the GBWC in Ikano Power Centre. From the previous post (which I can't find it back), I do mentioned this venue is a lot more better than the one in Sungei Wang Plaza which is smaller. With larger space, more display can be show by the organizer especially those special effect in the dark room, diorama, table for gunpla assembly area and even the mighty "size" Neo Zeong is here. Display and set up everything here was way better in Sungei Wang (where it mix with some other Parkson shoe promotion and shrink up the entire event's venue).

We might find not much great deal this time as it focus more on limited item. MG and PG seems not coming with great price and mostly are 1/144 kit either in HG or RG but the MG Strike ver.RM and MG Strike Ootori do come with great deal as it only cost at about RM 13+.

Number of entry seems not as much as previous few round if i'm not wrong but number of quality entries do increase a lot (I'm not a judge and have no intention to judge what are the bad or good entries as my skill is still limited but if you a gunpla modeler, you can tell). I guess i'm going to take a break here a while and let the picture speak the rest.......

MG Mk II A.E.U.G (second unit)

Hate it or love it.

That is how I can describe my gunpla building time now. Either make it quick but the result will not as good as expected or be patience, take some time and make it close to imagination. As for this post, I really hate myself for hanging too long as I actually had everything completed with the photos few months ago and I really don't have the mode to write anything. I forgot what I work on this kit. Damn!!!

Alright, the second unit.

The main different from the first unit I have before can be said the painting. No pla-plate or additional panel line added for both unit but the first unit is the semi-painting unit which means only certain parts are paint such as the inner frame, main body and other part that not in white color. At the end, i sold it for half price. As for this second unit, fully paint with removing all nub marks (that's the part the killing most of my time). As usual, the paint list:

-Mr.Surfacer 1000
-Mr.Color White
-Mr.Color Super White
-Mr.Color Metallic black
-Mr.Color Black
-Mr.Color Blue
-Mr.Color red metallic
-Mr.Color orange yellow
-Panel line and decal.

Similar from the previous work I done on the MG Blitz, not going to pose this kit much to prevent scratches to the paint. May refer to the first unit for the pose and this for the paint job. That's all about for this kit.

MG Blitz Gundam Custom

Screw me up, I can't remember how many month I took to complete this kit. All I remember i build it, keep it back in the box before sanding it, build the PG Wing and paint it, built couple of HG kit and keep back in box, until really I can't stand to see the box of this kit lying on my table for too long and finally, I decide to took it out, sand it properly before painting and "vowla!!!", here we have it complete.

One of the Seed Gat-X series mobile suit that really impressed me. It got shield, mount with beam rifle, beam saber and some sort of missile equals to deadly. I guess GN Sword one concept was from this because this come FIRST!!! (for Seed haters) Just kidding and no offend for that. But when it lost it right arms, that's too bad. As for the hook on the left hand, I still don't have any idea why they need a "hook" weapon mount on the high tech mobile suit in that era where they can just aim and shoot "target lock down and eliminated", as simple as that. Why not the left arms have the same weapon as the right arms I was wondering. Mirage colloid, damn this is the coolest technology that I think every mobile suit should have it but I guess if everyone fighting using this technology in the show, we might just watching a beam effect show "Lol". The design of this kit was awesome actually, it balance up everything from the chest, arms, legs, backpack, and even the head unit. It will be a base foundation for any modification especially the back pack but the original one was just too nice to be sacrifice and the design just close any possibilities for backpack modification without sacrificing it.

21st century MG kit, no worry about the technology or design on this MG kit. Articulation, best but no perfect as there are still some plate armor blocking the movement. Design wise, no heavy backpack but the right arms seems a bit heavy which might cause slight imbalance on the kit but don't worry, slightly tighter some joints and it will stand and pose well. As usual, I can said no masking is require since all parts with difference colors are molded separately. As for the detail, nothing to worry on the inner part and as for the outer part you may add on some spices to make it more nasty. I like the way of some of the sliding armor that expose the inner frame which it use as the release of mirage colloid mode. As for the customization, that leave to your own imagination and now I will let the picture speak for the rest of the story.

Gunpla Mid Year Challenge 2014 Malaysia at Sungei Wang Plaza

Well well well, its good to be back here, Jarvis (alright, just stop all the Ironman 2 dialog nonsense).

Again, its been a while that i'm not here. Its feel quite lazy to update things since I change my job but life still goes on and gunpla life will never stop. I'm still following up with most of the gunpla news but nowadays include transformer and other mecha as well. Guess that what make me slightly busier than before. So lets start with the Gunpla Mid Year Challenge 2014 Malaysia at Sungei Wang plaza. My apology for the missing competition post from last year which held in Ikea PowerCentre and I will update it soon cause there are some related detail to this post.

For this year, things have become more interesting as there are a lot of improvement compare to last few years, I mean the event and not just entries. I came in here second day of the event, there might be more entries putting here later but it might not because there is another similar event held in Johor Bahru which is too far for me to cover. As what we can see here, one of the improvement that i feel its the best will be the display shelf. We can see more poster decoration, better lighting and design which make us easier to take photo especially the dark background really helps a lot. There are some activity such as one of the activity which i participate and won the HGUC unicorn with display head on the first round. What we need to do in the activity is building the AG Genoace and the fastest one who complete will win the prize i mentioned. Other activity include Kinrara cosplay? er, i miss this part. As you scroll down from this post, you might found there is one counter where some are the judges and might be other pro-modeller building kit as the live showcase for building gunpla. And as usual, we able to meet one of our previous international Bakuc Champion which is Eric over there. I'm not sure are we allow to ask some question to them but they do answer us quite friendly on how to create certain effect, diorama and other skill which is great.

One of the major difference in between mid year challenge and year end challenge will be the number of entries. As you can see from the photo or even in the event itself, there are lesser entries during the mid year and most of the big gun will normally target on the big show in the year end but still, there are lot of great work in mid year challenge. I capture most of the amazing work and i skipped those that try hard but not that succeed in this post. I'm sorry to said that and not mean to bash anyone. It just if we going to create something, why not we just have all the best, like what i'm going to show in this post. So, as for now, enjoy the picture and you may give your feedback if you want to.

PG Wing Zero Custom

Wow, almost 8 months i'm not updating anything here except from the fb page. So, what I did for the past 8 months? This? nope. There are more than this actually but this is the only one project where i paint. I'm not going to post like the usual post i did previously such as the background story of this model kit, personal opinion or review but just photos.

About the paint i use for this kit, maybe will update here later. So, as for now, let the pictures tell the rest.
