I ACTUALLY FINISHED A KIT!!<br />
<br />
I am really hapyy to have a new finished kit under my belt because its been far to long.<br />
I am overall really happy with the way this thing turned out. There were some battles but for the most part this thing went without a hitch. my decal work could use some improving but for my first time i guess i am fine with them. I was really worried that my shading on the darker green pieces was to light for people to see it but i like the way it looks in person and thats all that really matters i guess and from the people that have seen it they can see it so good enough for me. The lighter green turned out pretty good pretty easy to see while staying subtle. Now the white was kinda tricky. Being a noob, I used gloss white on paint so it was really tough to control my shading as compared to the previous colors so i actually had to spray a light coat over all the white pieces after the i did all my shading and the end result isn't perfect but it was good enough for me to not wanna do it over.<br />

I have been away from my blog for a LONG time but i have been getting things done but sadly not on the MK.II. I have been working on two projects. One is the 1/100 MG Freedom Resin conversion that i am doing for a friend and fellow mecha modeler. The second one is my entry in the Gunpla Grand Prix over at <a href="http://www.plamocon.com/index.php?/index">Plamocon.com</a><br />
<br />
If you are not already, you should go join the Grand Prix. Lots of prizes to be had in two separate categories, Modded and OOB. contest started on February 1st and is running till April 15th so you still have time.<br />
<br />
Alright so here comes pictures to what i have been doing<br />
<br />

This is a great conversion!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Originally by MOProject i believe but this particular one is the Super G recast and is still a joy to put together with minimal cleanup just a few sink marks and usual resin flaws.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will be sad to see this kit go when it is finished because the proportions are BEAUTIFUL but i will be glad to see it go to someone that will appreciate it.</div>

As you can see they are virtually identical besides colors obviously. After further inspecting i was happy to see that the MG Shenlong is just begging to be converted with minimal work. I proceeded to then just match a drill bit (5/32) up to the existing hole in the HG 1/100 Nataku's arm where the dragon claw things attach.<br />

As you can see on the second arm while i was drilling the hole the armor piece decided to split in two. i decided to finish drilling the hole through the frame and then use my dremel to then clear out the armor to match the frame.<br />

I could not get the armor piece to become sturdy enough to be a stand alone part like its counterpart so i decided to just cement it to the frame.<br />
<br />
It will not be any issue, painting should not be a problem so i call it a win.<br />

Removed seams from red extension piece. these were a pain due to the fact you have to do them one at a time as you go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My technique for removing seam lines is to put cement on each piece were they meet then going over the entire seam once i have joined them together then squeeze them together real tight.</div>

Next was the weapon. I wanted to remove the seam line on the weapon but to do so i would have to make the beams removable through the top since the way they normally go in is by pegging them between two pieces that then snap together. So i decided to cut the pegs off of the beam effect and put magnets in the beam and then insert magnets where the peg would normally go into the hole.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Double stacked two 1/16 magnets in the beam. they fit perfectly flush in there.</div>

I finished snapping together the back pack for the PG MK.II shortly after my post yesterday so that means she is ready for paints. I am currently not at my house with my airbrush and what not, not like that matters though because i am thinking i am gonna invest in a new compressor and spray booth when i get payed so i can move my painting from my garage to the indoors. so that is why i have not started tearing this thing down yet. but here are some photos to enjoy even if it is bare plastic. :)<br />

Now like i said earlier about not painting yet, well since i am not painting i decided to start snapping together my recently acquired PG Gundam Astray Red Frame and well when you open the box you see LOTS of red.</div>

This photo is a little decieving on how many runners there really are and how many of them are red lol but that doesn't really matter the point is there is a lot. now these next photos will show you something that they did have in the PG MK.II to an extent but still blows me away.</div>

Now on the MK.II alone i thought these types of pre assembled parts (which still amaze me) would be a pain to paint and they are only one color now these being two colors i can guarantee are going to be a serious pain in the ass. and to clarify that entire hand is connected in the picture above so it will be interesting to see how it folds into place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So i can deal with those hands being a pain to paint but this next photo just left me scratching my head. why did bandai not make this two pieces?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1260.photobucket.com/albums/ii574/D_SMITH_SON/IMG_0529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i1260.photobucket.com/albums/ii574/D_SMITH_SON/IMG_0529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And if anyone cares, the red frame was built on top of the PG Strike Gundams frame and so a lot of the pieces are recolors of Strike components and they are all colored in a darker shade of red which i think is really cool giving the model a little more flavor and depth so here is a comparison</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Substance build off cancelled. I decided to attempt quite a bit of scratch building on mine which is probably gonna go past the slotted time frame. other things came up for Substance as well. He was offered some commissions that were pretty tough to turn down.<br />
<br />
I will continue working on my MK.II and will update you guys when i have something worth showing/ when i find my camera charger LOL<br />
<br />
TILL THEN<br />

Substance ModelsWell for some time now mechalounge regular Substance and I have been planning to do a Perfect Grade build off. We have had a stuff to finish up and we are finally getting around to it. I started working on the Perfect Grade RX-178 MK.II last night and completed snap fitting the right leg. I knew PG's were gonna be far supperior to Master Grades but to say i was blown away by how intricate and just intersting the build was would be an understatement. It was anything and everything i expected and then some. I have some pictures for you guys but nothing super exciting since no mod work or paint has been done but still some eye candy.<br />
<br />
Speaking of mod work. i am still trying to brainstorm something but i originally just wanted to light this sucker up, but i have been stumped in my quest to add LED's to the leg vents. The leg vents actually slide in and out making it impossible if i want to keep that feature of the kit. If i decided i didn't want to keep that feature it would still be difficult due to the construction its self. I should have taken pictures of what it looks like but it doesn't seem practical, but maybe i just need to come back to it later and see if that opens my mind up a little more.<br />
<br />
On yet another note i am still trying to decide on my color scheme. I initially was gonna do somewhat of an Amuro/Nu Gundam rip off using his unicorn and Amuro logos with a black/white/yellow scheme. Now i am kinda starting to think i might do something similar to the MK.III but with more varying shades of grey<br />

I didn't get them to accept there system made an error but i will take my PG GP01 and free gift and never shop there again. maybe you guys will have better luck but it is not worth it for me. Living in the States has a large amount to due with it though. shipping costs are extremely high so between that and this large hassle its just not in the cards.<br />
<br />
Good Luck to anyone else who shops there in the future and stay tune i should have my MG GP01 completed here soon with some photos up following completion.<br />

I am doing this as basically a test project for my Perfect Grade GP01 which is in transit to my house right now. I am super excited for that due to the fact of the challenge it was to find one so thats something to look forward to. I want it to look something like this colors wise</div>

On a slightly different note let me know in a comment on what you guys think. I have a build off coming up with a modeler who goes by the name of Substance. he is really really talented and is in all reality probably going to take me to church but i plan on making it difficult for him in contrasting styles. The build off is going to be between Perfect Grades, i believe he plans to do the RX-78-2 and i was originally planning to do the RX-178 MK.II A.E.U.G. but with the GP01 falling in my lap it has given me another option</div>

I have three PG's to choose from</div>

Some may know me from the Mecha lounge and some may just have stumbled upon my blog. If you have not already i encourage you to check out the mecha lounge, its a great place ran by great people. I am currently working on the 1/60th Super G recast of the NeoGrade Nu Gundam. I will post what I have completed here in the near future and continue to post all my Work In Progress updates to come. I hope you guys enjoy as soon as i can get some content up on this so till next time<br />
