1/100 MG Unicorn Gundam

Hey Everybody!

Long time no blog post! I've been really busy these past few months between working, going to school, and then starting my internship for my Masters program. However, I was able to slowly work on finishing this kit! I took my time with it and was able to try a bunch of new things like weathering the inner frame and painting with an airbrush. I hope you guys enjoy!

Over all I am very happy with how this guy turned out! But as always we are our own harshest critic... The paint application isn't as smooth as it could have been in some places but that was mostly due to my inexperience using an airbrush and just how thin badger minitaire paints can be! Overall the minitaire colors look awesome, but they really need to step up the quality control in my opinion. Anyways.... hope you guys enjoy and as always if you have any questions, comments, critiques please let me know! :)

HGUC 1/144 Char's Z'gok LEVEL UP Entry

Hey everybody! I know it has been a while since I have updated the blog so I figured I would show off what I completed for the Level UP contest hosted by GundamUK. I finished this kit last year and first got around to taking pictures of it early this year. I'm very happy with the way this kit turned out and I'm excited for the contest announcements coming this weekend!  Hope you guys enjoy!

Croak Hunter

Hey Everybody!

I finished the Croak Hunter the other night. Over all I think it looks pretty good! There are some things I need to work on like color contrast and basing, but overall as my first mini I'm pretty happy with it!

SBD Dauntless

Hey everybody! Here are the finished pictures of the Dauntless I started earlier in the summer. Over all I'm pretty happy with the way this build turned out. I learned a lot and was glad to be able to build a different kind of kit. Hope you enjoy!

USS Lionfish

I started this model a while ago during College for Kids at the beginning of summer. I wanted to use it as a way to show kids how to build models and how a model can look if you take your time and do it right. I didn't get a chance to finish it during the actual class but I did get a chance to work on it more last week.

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!
