On the Work Bench

Hey everybody!

I just figured I would have an update about what is going on both in my life and about model building. Even though everybody in this hobby would probably like to be able to work on models all day.... life, work, and other responsibilities usually get in the way of that!

1/144 HGUC Z'gok

This was the first kit I hand painted. Before this I used spray cans and the results were... not very good to say the least. Hope you guys enjoy!

1/144 Mercurius

I've had this kit for a while and always thought it looked lame. Don't get me wrong I love the design of the mobile suit, one of my favorites in Wing but the old no grade kit was just terrible. I decided to spruce it up a little bit, but do something kind of different with it! I really wish Bandai would release an updated HG kit...or a Master Grade kit would be even better!

I took a little inspiration from Warmachines. I wanted this guy to look somewhat like a Khador Warjack. Over all it was a different painting experience, and I'm pretty happy with the results.

1/100 Master Grade GM Ground Type

This was the kit I finished for the group over at the Mecha Lounge. Its a great forum for anybody looking to get involved with the modeling community. Everybody there is very friendly and willing to help out as much as they can, so check them out!

Now on to the group build. I was really excited for this one! The premise of the build was that Earth ran out of resources so people moved into colonies in the space/sky. This faction eventually split causing a major war for the remaining resources and power. Sounds totally awesome to me! Whats not to love about post-apocalyptic futures? I built and painted a GM ground type and gave it some heavy weathering. The kit was totally hand painted and I am pretty happy with the results. Hope you enjoy!

Introduction

Well, where to start with this blog? I guess a little intro is needed. Basically I'm Tony and I'm your normal graduate student in college that just happens to love all things mecha. This blog will be used to show case the models I make which include everything from Gundam to planes to table top miniatures. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer them!

I will be posting pictures of my finished works and WIPs and also anything that I happen to find interesting at the time. Thanks for reading and I hope that you will read more!
