Not so recent works 2

Haven't been making any kits for months, the stash that was lying on the floor has been tucked away in a new cupboard. Now trying to be satisfied with looking at pictures of kits.

Anyway heres a look back at some of my past original creations:


Strike Blanc (?/9/2006)

With the black Strike Noir, I thought a white one would be good to complement it. So I bought another one and painted it with a white scheme. Some small mods are done at the faceplate and the shoulder extensions.


Fuurai Bakunetsu Godmaru (late 90s?)

This was originally a broken kit (bought another Godmaru). Some time in the late 90s I think I painted the whole kit red (called it "Red Riding Hood"). Then later on I kitbashed it with parts from 3 other SD kits. Thats the short story :P


V-Hexa FC (late 90s?)

Was once a complete kit but lost an arm one day. Kitbashed it with a 1/144 Serpant Custom I got from a friend. Promptly named it V-Hexa FC at time of writing as it reminds me of the fiddler crab.


Zaku i2k Custom (2005?)

Had an idea of a Super Robot and Real Robot image pair of Zakus at that time, this one is the one with the RR image. Double shoulder shields, gunner pack and an TTT color scheme.

An upgrade

Gundam Astraea TDPsp1 (7/1/2011)

An upgrade for the Astraea TDP build from 2008! The reason for this is that having bought the retail version of Astraea (which is still not built at time of post), I thought I should do something to differentiate them. What I did is change the V-fin to the F2 type and repaint some of the red parts blue.

Have decided to name it TDPsp1 which means 'Twin Drive Pack Service Pack 1'. An upgrade, lol.

Used about half a day to do it, as one feet has to be redone due to a too thick coat of paint.

Twin Drive Pack

Twin Drive Pack (21/7/08)

Well, this can be said to be my biggest gunpla project so far for the year. The idea first came from the 00 Gundam dual GN Drive design and a bit of my desire to beef up Astraea. Not much of a scratchbuilder at all so I found myself staring at the picture of 00 Gundam time to time. Then it struck me to finally make use of that extra Strike Noir. Bought another Exia (totalling to 4). Then with the parts and a bit of plaplate, the Pack is made.

The Twin Drive Pack is compatible with Exia too and partially compatible with Strike Noir and WeissStahl.

Not so recent works

Recently rediscovered a link to the old Machine Mess forums. Found some of my previous posts there and remembered of the old photoshoots I moved to another PB account when Yahoo Photos closed down.

Some notable ones:

Strike and Astray (11/2004): These 2 can be said to be the first 1/144 kits properly done up by me. Remember having the old Re-GZ and Jegan 1/144 kits way back but they are done pretty badly.
Gundam WeissStahl (26/6/2005): My first (and only) 1/144 kitbash. Its made up of a Freedom Gundam and M1 Astray which I bought for modding my SDs. Sword is from Retsumaru and guns from a Kotobukiya weapons set.

SEEDshooting 1, 2 & Extended (2003?): 3 photoshoots focusing mainly on the SEED SDs. There are 3 SD Strikes featured. The first is built as normal, the second is bought for the arms for use in my S.W.S kitbash with the 1/144 NG Striker packs, the third was kitbashed with the HG Freedom Gundam. I had Astray fixed with an inverted M1 Astray backpack. Then comes the official Freedom SD. Quite some time after SEEDshooting I completed SD Aegis(2005?).

Sorry for the blur pics as I have lousy phototaking skills at that time. :P
