MG Heavyarms

My first painted kit of the year. I was hoping to have this finish before the new years, but stuff came up and a bit of laziness got in my way........
Sadly this will be my last painted kit for awhile as I will not have my gear to paint anything for the next while. I still plan to snap build a few kits, so I will most likely do a few reviews on them when I get them build.
Anywho, on to Heavyarms. This is quite the nice MG kit, my only complaint would be the ammo thread going from the gating gun to the ammo pack. The ends would keep falling of the rubber wire making it super hard to pose, which I just used some crazy glue and glue them on fixing that issue.
This kit also does have some issues with the ankle like my MG Deathscythe did as they both have the same frame. The only different is that it falls backwards and not forward like Deathscythe.
As for the kit itself, I stay mostly true to the colors with some minor changes mostly to the gun and the ammo pack. I also added a bit of gold to the frame outside of the missiles where the missile are painted silver.
Other then that, I basically cover everything else in my early post on this kit. I plan on doing some snap builds on my Zoids kits next. So I should have some reviews on them in the next awhile.

Anywho time for the pictures:

MG RX-178 Gundam Mk.2

I am quite happy how this how this turn out in the end. When I first started putting this kit back together after being painted, I was really not liking the color scheme of the two blues together. But after putting the decals and the flat coat on, it looked much better then before.
For this kit, I mostly stay true to the titans color scheme, but made a few changes by adding more red in some areas and adding the bright blue on the color scheme. I also added in some chrome and gold in areas like the boosters and in some other some areas like on the back of the legs and the upper chest.
For mods, I did very little. Basically all I did was add some pla plate on the shoulder armor to give it a more heavy armor type look. I wanted to add more pla plate in other areas too, but due to mostly being lazy I ended up not doing that. I also cut out some tiny pieces of pla plate for the tiny cameras on the chest, the back of the head, and the rocket launcher.
The biggest change would be the two new added items I made for this kit. The first one would be the cloak, which a special thanks to Alex for helping me out with the cloak, and the second would be the custom made sword.

Anywho here is the final pictures:

MG Freedom

My final showcase for my old completed kits as I have already done Hi-Nu and Deathscythe. Freedom has always been on of my favorite designs, so for me this was a must build. That being said, I had tons of problems on this kit like the V fin broke, the arm broke, so it is limited to what poses it can do. I didn't like how I had to mask the gun for the blue area, seeing how it wasn't that hard to add another part for the gun, which the RG did do. Another problem, which was my error was the eyes. I should have put a chrome coating on before I applied the clear red as it is really hard to see the red. I learn from this mistake and can tell from models like Hi-Nu which the eyes really stick out.

Anywho here are the pics:

MG Guntank

Time for Guntank to shine. I for some reason always love the design of the Guntank, but not the colors for some reason. So for this kit I want with a winter color scheme of a white/gray/black cameo. Like in my other post about Guntank, I can't see me doing never another cameo paint scheme any time soon as it is alot of work. I also try to add a snow effect on the body and the tracks, which turn out so so.  This kit was also my last time using the dry on decals as I switch over to waterside decals after this kit.
My main reason of taken new pictures of Guntank was to get better pictures like I have been doing with my other kits so far. I also wanted to show of the LEDs in the head unit which lights up the eyes and the dashboard inside.
My only complaints with this kit is the tracks on the tank wheels and that you must have the core fighter in it too hold the body together. Other then that, it is a great kit.

MG Z'Gok

I have already posted completed pictures of this kit before, but at the time didn't have a light booth and felt that the pictures I took before didn't show how my Z'Gok really turn out. Since I have my light booth set up right now, it was the perfect time to retake some better pictures of Z'Gok.
Anywho, here are the newly taken pictures:

MG RGM-79(G) GM Ground

Another one of my early projects and felt the need to take better pictures of this kit since I got my light booth out right now. This was also my first kit to be fully painted in Mr. Color paints and to try out the battle damage idea as well.
This MG is also quite the oldie, but in my eyes is one of the best for being such a old kit. I would love to build the RX-79(G) Gundam to go with it as it is also one of my favorite Gundams and I love all things from 08th Team. =D Those you have build both will know that this kit and the RX-79(G) Gundam are mostly the same kit with some different designs mostly in the chest and the head.

P.S.

I am sure some have notice if you read my blog, but I have been updating the showcase part of my blog which is only completed kits starting at the bottom as my oldest working up to newest, which is why Hi-Nu is at the top.

Anywho, time for pictures:

MG Zaku I Ramba Ral

Another one of my early works and also the first time I use Mr. Color paints. Also another kit that hasn't had any pictures taken of it since it was completed. I didn't have much luck seeing how the blue came out uneven, but ended up going with a blue cameo idea for it. The MG is a very old one, and it shows in the joints and the fingers. The thumb does not want to stay in place and keep popping off on me.
I did add to the model after I was finish like the big sword, which was also my first time scrap building. It turn out okay, and you could say that it was the basic design for the new swords I plan on making for my next project, Gundam Mk.2.
Anywho time for the pics:

SD Zaku Gunner

My second ever painted kit, and also have yet to get some decent pictures of it. This kit was a great learning experience, one thing I learn was to never spray a lacquer top coat on acrylics as it will MELT THE PAINT!...........  Anywho, their is on some areas where the paint is starting to fade out, which is due to the top coat. Funny thing is that this was my last kit to use acrylics type paints on, as I move on to Mr. Color paints which is a lacquer type paint and some much better.
Like the G04, this kit has some dust on it, I try my best to get it off, but their is some still on it.

MG RX-78-4 Gundam (G04)

Hehe, my very first Gundam and very first painted kit. Or so many bad memory's.........
Anywho, For being my very first kit, I still to this date have yet to post any complete pictures of it. That may be because it was so bad, had so many problems painting this kit, and at times almost want to re-buy this kit just to repaint it to show how far my skills have come.
The poses I can do with this kit was very limited as the whole left arm is broken and cannot be move much without the risk of re-breaking it. It is also very dusty as it has been sitting for a few years.
Time for the pictures.........
Remember this was my very first kit.

MG RX-93 Hi-NU

Here are the pictures of my MG Hi-Nu all painted and decal and is ready to be display now. =D I am very happy on how it turn out, was a little worry as my airbrush was having some issues with the blue paint, but can hardly notice.
My next kit I plan to do is going to be my Mk.2 Gundam, which I need to think of a color scheme to go with it's cloak and sword.
Anywho, here are some pictures of the finish kit:

MG 1/100 Deathscythe

I am happy to say that this kit is finally done. It turn out really good in my eyes, had a few little problems but nothing big. I would like to say that this kit is very nicely done, and it anyone is looking for a good model to start on, I would say this one would be a good choice. The only problem I have with this model is the fingers, unlike most MG, which has movable fingers, this one does not, but you get to pick for 8 different hands, 4 for each hand.
Anywho, I did try out modding for the first time, and it turn out pretty good, then again, it was a very simple mod at that. But I think it turn out rather nice. As for the colors, I stay with the basic color and made a few changes in some areas, but mostly the same anywho the finish model:
