Project SD: GP02A Physalis Phase 2

Hmm...

I've gotta apologize to anyone who's been reading this blog of mine as I haven't been updating for weeks!

I've been so busy with my wedding preparations and work that I haven't even had the time to get down to continue on this small little SD.

Luckily, over the past couple of days.. I'e managed to find quite a bit of spare time to get down on it.

Here's what I've done till date..


I cut out the slots so that the face to be pushed in. This is done because the head had a large seam line which I wanted to get rid of. More pics below to show the seam line across the whole head.



Here's more pics of the face that demonstrates how I can slide it in and out after removal of the seam lines across the head.




Here's a pic of a snap build without any painting done. damn... It looks so plain.





Right, now I'm kind of torn in thinking of how to paint this kit.... Any of you readers have any ideas?

Would you think a full metallic scheme would look cool on this? or a normal Universal century gundam colour of Red, Blue, White suit it better?
Please gimme comments if you have any comments :D

That's all for today.. Couldn't get much done.. I foresee that this is going to be slow.
Thanks for looking :) Be back soon!

Project SD: GP02A Physalis

I've pretty much completed the body of my blue frame, but I still haven't applied the water slide decals because of my lack of experience in applying them.

So for now, I decided to put my blue frame on hold and start on the GP02A SD gundam. This is a darn cute gundam I must say :D


Will post more soon, stay tuned. :)

Blue frame complete!

Over the past 2 weeks..... I've managed to complete my blue frame up and do the panel lining at last... I haven't the time to do the decal-ling though.
I've gotta say... the articulation is magnificent.. I'm giving my thumbs up to the new Master grades. However.. I still cannot bring myself to like the newer Seeds and Astrays(besides red frame)... especially the 00 Raiser gundams.

Well, Enough talk... here's some badly taken pics.... sigh. My lighting's a disaster.





And if anyone has noticed, the right knee is missing. Why, you may ask?
Well, I've accidentally left my thumbprint on the paintjob after I clear coated it for panel lining. And I'm too lazy to paint that part up now. :p

Here's some pics up after posing on a stand. I feel that it looks bad-ass with the backpack rather than transforming it as a gigantic sword somehow.
haha.
