Far Cry 3: Path of the Hunter Rare Animals Guide

Here is a list of videos that I have made showing all of the locations for the rare animals in Far Cry 3 Path of the Hunter. There is a few that I didn't record as I wasn't going to make any videos at first, but had a change of heart. I do plan on getting the other three done, but for now I will just upload a image of the starting location for the first two. I hadn't been to the third location yet, and will upload the video when I get to that spot.

Update:
I made a new character, so I could do the other two hunts. I just rush to them as fast as I could, so I have very minimal skills and equipment on.

Warning:
These videos does have gore, blood and swearing in it as this game is Rated M. 

MG Heavyarms WIP 2

Time for another WIP for MG Heavyarms. At this stage I am basically all done painting now and just have a few touch up here and there to do like the eyes and the handles for the gating gun. I am hoping to have it decal and panel line within a week if everything goes well.
I did run into a small problem with the leg missile launchers. I had this great idea that it would look cool with red highlights on them. So I want and mask them all just to have the paint blend thou my masking job and ruin the paint job.......... So I ended up having to strip the paint off and repaint it again, this time with out the red highlights.
I also made a small mistake with the blade as well. I forgot to make sure to get all the dust off before putting the black gloss coat on, and didn't notice until after taking off the masking. I plan to try and get some of that dust off and just fix it up with some paint.
Other then that, everything else has gone very smoothly. I did make some minor changes to the color scheme, mostly the gating gun. I plan on having the body gray, with the handles the same orange on the body, with the barrel polished aluminum, and pale gold for the ammo thread and the end of the barrel.
I hope to have the final WIP for this kit up in about a week, which will be mostly the decal and panel lines done.

On the left was Mr.Color orange yellow, which was too yellow for my taste, so I ended up mixing in a bit of orange.

The red parts drying after a soapy bath. I already said it once, but the bare plastic colors are just perfect.

Kotobukiya Jehuty HD Edition Review

Here is the review of the model kit Jehuty HD Edition made by Kotobukiya from the game series Zone of the Enders.
For those who don't know what Zone of the Enders also know as just Z.O.E is. It is a fast pace action game which the player controls the giant mecha Jehuty also known as a Orbital Frame. It is made by Konami, which the first game came out in 2001 for the PS2.
I have always been a huge fan of the games, and always wanted to get this kit since it came out. Jehuty is my 2nd favorite design in the game with Anubis as my all time favorite. I am still hoping that Kotobukiya will make a Anubis model kit in the near future, but for the mean time I got this kit to work on. Their is also a model of the Vic Viper which I would love to get one day.

As for the kit itself, there are two versions of it. One is the normal one and the other is the HD one which has slightly different colors then the normal one and it also comes with the effect parts for the wings and the Option parts as well. The HD Edition is about $18 more then the normal kit, and if your a big fan like me I would recommend it, but if not I would say just pick up the normal Jehuty.
As for the overall detail and design of the kit itself, I would say that this kit is more like a HG in Gunpla terms. The color separating is quite good, only areas that is going to have to be painted is the hands and a  alittle spot on the bigger option parts.
It doesn't have that great of movement which was a little disappointing, and most of the joints are hold on by poly caps which I don't mind the hands, but I will replace the leg ones with some after market ball caps when I start to paint it.
As for seam lines, their is a few, but the way this kit was design they are very hard to notice and the ones that are noticeable are easy to fix.
One thing that really surprise me is that this kit can stand on it's own without it's stand. It was quite hard with it fully together, but is possible. It does come with a stand, so I would say just keep it on the stand as there is really no reason to have it standing on it's own other then to see it with your own eyes.
As for the stand, they look nice, but they are pretty bad. They have very little strength so I ran into the problem of it falling down all of the time. The manual does say to use a screwdriver to tightening the screw, but I found that this did not work at all for me. It could of been that I just got unlucky and just got a bad stand. Once you do get it into place, it will stay up, just don't touch it and you will be fine.
The normal kit runs about ¥4,800 JPY and the HD one is about ¥6,200 which is alittle on the pricey  side for this kit in my eyes. It is a great kit and if your a big fan of Z.O.E like me I would highly recommend picking this and the Vic Viper up. But if your not a big fan I would say to pass on this kit and only pick it up if you find a good deal on it.

Picture Time!

MG Heavyarms WIP 1

Here is my first WIP for Heavyarms. It took my a little longer to get started on this kit as I wanted to put together my new Kotobukiya Jehuty HD model first before I started painting this, which I will upload  a little review of the unpainted kit in a few days.
Anywho, back onto Heavyarms. This is mostly just a straight OOB build with a few color changes mostly to the Gatling gun and a few chrome and gold parts here and there.
I did make a tiny mod to the Gatling Gun so I wouldn't have to do as much masking. All I did was cut the pegs off of the barrel section and this allows it to slide in and out of the main part of the gun. I don't even have to glue it when I am done as the handle holds it in place just fine. I plan to paint the main part a dark gray and the barrels are going to be a chrome with gold on it.
Other then that, I haven't got that much more done. I have started washing the parts and have the orangish and the yellow parts prime, which I hope to paint tomorrow. Painting this kit wont take very long at all, and if I am up for it, should be able to get it done in a week. I am thinking about trying shading again on this kit, but I am not too sure yet.
This kit isn't very big, so I most likely won't have too many WIP for this. I may do three of them, this one as one and the others will mostly likely be it painted with the gloss coat on and the last one will be the decals and panel lines.

Anywho here are some pics so far:

Before the mod

After the mod, as you can see I cut the pegs completely off and sanded it down.

I didn't cut the pegs off in the main part as they help keep the barrel line up.

MG Epyon Review

Here is the MG Epyon Ver Ka from Gundam Wing.
For those you who watch the show would know that Epyon was design only for close range combat and lacks any type of range weapons on it. For it's weapons it only has two, the Beam Sword and the Heat Rod.
I love the design of both weapons on this kit, but I am a little disappointed with the heat rod. The heat rod was design so it can lock up in place or unlock and move it around, but I find that once I unlock it it becomes very weak and it is very hard for it to stay up in place. This problem is really bad at the area were the heat rod connects to the shield as even when it is lock in place it will not stay put. I am sure this problem will be fix once I paint this kit up as the paint will make the connections tighter.
As for the Beam Sword I just love it. It is connected to the main body by a wire that has a very tiny metal rod inside of it so it and not just a chuck of tubing which was very nice. It's beam effect part for the beam sword also looks very nice and it just pops in and out which it also stays in place very well.
As for the kit itself it is very nice. I just love the wings on this kit as they look great and also have the ability to spread open or close by pulling down or up on the wings and they can move up and down and back and forth so they have a wide range of movement.
One complaint about this kit is that alot of parts well fall off on this. I had problems with the front skirt armor coming off if you move the legs to high up. I also had some problems with the little fins on the side of the ankle armor and the boosters on the back popping off as well.
Overall if your a big fan of Gundam Wing, or just love the Epyon design or just looking for a good MG, I highly recommend this kit.

Here are some pictures of the kit unpainted:

MG Heavyarms Review

My next kit I plan on painting is going to be MG Heavyarms Ver Ka. I plan on just doing another OOB build with some slight changes to some colors, mainly the missiles and weapons.
This kit shouldn't take long to complete as their isn't too much too paint, but may be awhile before I do another update as I have another model coming in the mall which is the Kotobukiya Jehuty HD model which I want to build right away. So I may be working both on this kit and Jehuty at the same time.
For this kit itself,it is one of the newer MG kits out and it shows. Bandai did a great job on the part separating as the missiles and the outer areas are all different parts, so their is no need to mask them. The same goes for the blue lines on the chest which was a big win for me.
Another thing about this kit is the colors on the bare plastic which are dead on for the normal colors, so for people who don't paint their kits will be really happy with this kit as it looks really good unpainted.
There are a few seam lines on this kit that will need to be fix up if you plan on painting this kit. The big ones would be the main gun and the ammo pack on the back. This kit uses the new heads so you don't have to worry about the seam lines on the head like older MG.
The only bad things about this kit is the thread that connects to the ammo pack and the main gun is a pain to keep it in place as it keeps popping out of place for me. I will glue it into place once I paint this kit, but for now I just have it off. Another problem is that the hand cannot hold up the main gun that high as it will drop down a bit, but with both hands all wight issues are gone.
If you are looking for a good MG kit or a big fan of Gundam Wing, I highly recommend this kit.

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 Mk.2 Scratch Build Sword WIP

This is a WIP for the custom sword made for the RX-178 Mk.2 Gundam. I have finish the Mk.2 and everything else at this stage and will most likely be uploading the pics for that later today or maybe tomorrow.
Anywho, this nearly turn out perfect, the first side I superglue the black part to the blade, the glue got on some of the black paint and ruin it, but the other side turn out fine and will just pose it on the good side, so not a biggie.

So for the first step, I got a thick piece pla plate, about 3mm and using a pencil and a ruler draw out the basic design.

I used a metal ruler so the blade can't cut into it.

I then cut out the design using a hand saw as it is really hard for a hobby knife to cut that thick of pla plate unless it is really sharp. I prefer the hand saw over the hobby knife in this case.
I then draw out the design for the outer areas for the sword using a thin piece of pla plate (1mm) and cut it out.

The test blade I made before making my final one. The blade is uneven and same with the holes in the middle. I may weather it and used it as a well used blade for my Mk.2.

Hand Saw

MG RX-178 Gundam Mk.2 WIP 5

At this point am I basically  all done this model. All I got to finish is the rest of the waterside decals and the flat coat. I am not too sure if I wanna do any weathering on this model, I might do some slight weathering but that will be it.
I am also not too sure on the color scheme at this point which is really bad thing as it is all painted. My idea of the two blues didn't quite work out the way I wanted it too, should have use a darker blue for the bright blue, but I am hoping that once all of the decals are on and the flat coat is applied I am hoping that it will look better.

HMM Blade Liger Review

Here is a little preview for the HMM Zoid Blade Liger. The Blade Liger was my 2nd ever HMM kit, and when I open the box for the first time my mouth drop due to the sheer number of runners this kit had. I think I counted about 50 runners for this kit which the normal MG Gundam kit has about 8-14 runners, so it has alot of runners and is comparable to a PG Gundam kit for runners. So if you don't like building kits with lots of parts, this is not gonna be your type of kit.
As for the price, like the Liger Zero Panzer, the shipping for this kit is quite pricey and is close to the amount you pay for the kit itself which sucks. But if you think about how big and heavy it is, it is understandable for the shipping cost. If anyone knows of a good place to buy HMM Zoid's models in Canada or the US, please let me know as I would love to get more of these kits.
For the kit itself, if you love Zoids, or any type of model's in general, you will love this kit. It has detail comparable to a PG and it is quite big as well. It is also very poseable, but like other HMM kits, be prepare for stuff falling off on you. I had tons of issues of the boosters/blade area coming off the body when moving it around. It is a easy fix thou, I will most likely glue it on after I paint it, which will fix the issue.
Like I said before, this kit is quite big, and very heavy which kinda surprise me to a point, but when you think of all of the parts on it, it makes sense. It towers over the gunsniper in size and mass, and is a little shorter then the average MG, but is much longer and has a bigger mass.
I highly recommend this kit if your looking for a zoid model, you wont be disappointed.
Anywho, here are some pictures of the kit unpainted:

HMM Gun Sniper Leena Special Review

This was my very first HMM Zoid model the Gun Sniper Leena Special.One thing you will notice right away is that it is loaded with tons of weapons and takes the term overkill to a whole new level.
This was one of the smaller HMM kits as the Gun Sniper is a smaller Zoid compare to the Liger's and Geno's Zoids, which was nice as the shipping for it wasn't too crazy unlike some of the bigger HMM kits.
The detail on this kit is pretty nice, their will be some areas that will have to be mask and a few seams lines that will have to be fix if you what to paint it, but like the other HMM kits it looks very good.
It does have a few parts that keep falling off, but that is a common issue with most HMM kits . It is very back heavy and if it isn't stand up the right way, it will fall over, dues to all of the weapons mounted on it. Without the weapons, it is really stable, and will not fall over easy
It does have a great movement thou out the body which makes it quite easy to pose, but with the weapons on, it can be limited.
I haven't painted it yet, but I do plan too one day, but it will be awhile before I paint this as I have other kits I wanna do first and still have to finish.
Anywho here are some pics of the unpainted kit:

HMM Liger Zero Panzer Box Preview

Here is the Highend Master Model (HMM) Liger Zero Panzer made by Kotobukiya from the series known as Zoids. This bad boy just arrived at my home today. For those who have build one of the HMM will know that there is alot of parts to these kits, easily anyway from 30-50+ runners of parts, which is alot.
The level of detail on these kits are also great, I would say about or the same level as a PG Gunpla kit. They have great movement as well, so they can do pull off some really cool poses. One bad thing about them is that they often have parts falling off very easy, so a little glue may help you out if it gets really bad.
This isn't my first HMM kit, as I already have three more before this one. I have the Blade Liger, Geno Breaker, and Gun Sniper Leena Special. I made do a little preview for them one day down the road. I would love to have more of these as I just love the Zoids series in general, and that the HMM kits are just so nice. But because of the number of parts to these kits, the shipping can be really costly. The shipping for Liger Zero Panzer was almost the same as the price of the kit itself.......
I plan to get the other two versions of Liger Zero down the road, but I was looking forward to the Panzer the most of the three, which is way I made it my first one. =D The Liger Zero Panzer is the most heavily arm out of the three, which you can tell by the massive amount of weapons and missile pods located thru out it's body.
Anywho here are some pictures of it's box and the manual:  

MG RX-178 Gundam Mk.2 WIP 4

Here is a little update on the Mk.2. I am almost done painting now, just gotta finish painting the rest of the darker blue and black pieces and finish making the sword and it will be done.
So far this has been my easiest kit so far as I haven't run into any problems as of yet. Let's hope it stays that way. XD
I did do some detailing on the legs and the arms by painting in the cables with silver and the connecters with gold and some copper in the middle. It is only for looks as once I put the outer armor on, nothing will be seen, but felt like doing it for fun. Plus it is good practice for hand painting. 
The only thing I am not sure about is how the bright Blue and the darker blue with the red, black and yellow is going to turn out. I did do a quick photoshop of my model with the color scheme I plan to do on it, and I wasn't too sure on it, but hoping that once I see the painted kit it will look better.
That is really all I have to say this post, next post may be the WIP for the sword, or another one for Mk.2, we will see.

Picture time:

Yellow and Red parts prime with Alclad II gray Primer (Great Stuff)

Red and Yellow pieces all painted

MG RX-178 Gundam Mk.2 WIP 3

This is going to be mostly a small WIP  as I have alot of clean up to do on this kit. As I said before, this was my 2nd ever MG/Kit I got so when I snap build it the first times years ago, I didn't do that great of a job of cutting the nub marks off and use too rough of a sand paper, so I am going to have to re sand everything and give all of the parts a good wish before painting.
What I have done so far is that I begin to take take the model apart and part all of the different color parts into different tubs and have made some very minor mods to it. I wanted to add lots of pla plate all over the body to give it a more heavy armor look to it, but I am not having very good luck gluing the pla plates on as I got about 1 and have sec to get it in the right place before the glue dries and makes it imposable to move it after. (The reason why I love crazy glue and hate it all at the same time.)
For the colors, I am going to try to stay mostly true to the titan color scheme. So I plan to try to go with a two tone blue color scheme with some chrome and gold areas mostly to the frame. I also plan to change some colors around like the middle part on the chest I plan to do in blue, and the lower part on the kneels I plan to change to red.
Anywho here are some pics of the unpainted kit and some WIP pics as well:

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 Hi-Nu Gundam WIP 4

This is the final WIP for MG Hi-Nu Gundam. I just finish this kit not too long ago, but have yet to take photos of it. I should have that done by tomorrow or the next day. For this WIP, I am showing off the panel lines and the decals apply to it.
Both the panel lines and the decals both want on with very little issues, had two decals break apart on me, but overall pretty good. This is also my first time using so many decals on one model, which I was a little worry about it being over decal, but I am very happy on how it turn out.
Anywho here are some pics:

Before applying the decals

MG RX-178 Gundam Mk.2 WIP 2

Here is a little update on my next project, This next project is going to be a custom MG Gundam Mk.2, with the theme going to be something like a ground combat type idea or desert theme. This kit was my 2nd ever MG, but never got to around it as I could never come up with any idea what to do with it until now. For this kit I wanted to do something like a cloak for it with a custom made sword kinda like the one my Zaku I has.
The sword was the easy part, but I wasn't too sure on the cloak as I have never made one nor had any idea on how it was going to work. Lucky for me, a good friend of mine was able to help me out with the cloak. I got it all cut up and ready for her, were she sew it all up and made it look great. She did a wonderful job on the cloak and I am glad that I ask her for help. A special thank you to her who made this possible.

Here are some pics on Mk.2 new cloak:

Here was the basic layout for the cloak with out the hood.

MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam WIP 3

Here is the 3rd WIP for Hi-Nu. Hi-Nu is almost done, all that I got left to do is panel, decal, and flat coat. All of the pieces are now painted, have to repaint a few chrome ones and a gray piece, nothing big. I plan to have it at least penal line tomorrow, and maybe decal as well. Then I can apply the flat coat and be done with it. =D Anywho here are some more WIP Pics:

MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam WIP 2

Here is a quick update on Hi-Nu. All of the inner frame is painted, all the chrome and gold parts as well. I did lose 1 part which made me mad, must of lose it when I change rooms for my model area. The good news is that it is easy to remake but I have no super glue, so hoping that normal model glue will do the trick. Also some dust got on the chrome abit, spray booth was pretty bad. I did clean it out, so hopefully that wont happen again.

MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam WIP

Sorry for the long delay. I have been working on models still, but have been to lazy too upload any work. As for Kshatriya, I have been taking a long break from it for now. I may pick it up again after I finish my custom Gundam Mk.2 project.

Anywho, for this project I am just doing a OOB build again with some changes to colors. Nothing special. I did make a few mods to some areas so I wouldn't have to do any masking.
