Nice IWSP, Gatlings rule all the way..... but I don't like Strike

Quote from Gunota:

According to Plamoya-san's Useless Diary, following are rumors of future Gunpla releases after June.
Below are considered somewhat reliable:
HGUC Zudah (from MS IGLOO)
HGUC Zaku I (color variation)
MG Gundam F91

These are rumors:
HGUC Nu Gundam
HGUC ZZ Gundam
MG Guntank

Again take this with grain of salt.

Good point actually, StormV, and it reminded me to laugh at myself once again. The thing is, I've yet to own a full airbrush equipment set . So if I go on through the procedures, my models would all be in grey colouration since I'd go up to the surfacing process only. Har har.

I do have two models that have gone through the entirety of my procedures, but the final finishing is done by handpainting, so it's pretty rough looking. That's cause I entered my silver-and-gunmetal coloured MG MS-14 B/C Gelgoog Cannon in the Gundam Contest sometime back in 1998.

A couple of reasons on why I've yet to get myself an airbrush set after all this years, and RMs and time and product availability are the major reasons. All of the airbrush sets that I've come across are normally Tamiya's and those look pretty skimped (slap me if all I care about are the full-fledged sets), maybe something like Gunze's are more of my taste. As for the first two major reasons, it's impaired by the prime activity of PlaMo collecting: the model kits themselves. I've a penchant for collecting (okay, it's more like hoarding... ) really old, and thus rare, PlaMo just for the sake of collecting them (cause nobody else have 'em? Riiight.... ).

Like my precious pre-1989 GunPla:

And I've yet to include my pre-1999 GunPla sets. It's like "Get Them While They Still Exist!!1" and it's quite true in many instances. Not a lot of my PlaMo are easily replacable, so I take real good care of them and won't do any final finishing work until I do any mods and necessary upgrades and get an airbrush set, not to mention airbrushing skills; I just don't dare screw up my rare models, savvy? That also accounts to why a lot of my PlaMo don't have their major decals applied on them yet. Don't wanna waste 'em until I give the PlaMo their well-deserved beautiful colour skin...

Anyways, if I finally get my oh-so-important airbrush set, I've still to practice the art of using it. Hopefully I can paint as well as dj898's work, as seen in this pic:
dj898's PG Gundam Mk-II ZOMG, awesome tasty!

So can anyone kindly tell this yet-to-be-fulfilling model collector a place where to get a good airbrush set? TIA.



Very true there, dj898, on the manner of kit assembly. Don't do this, and people'll bust their fingernails trying to pry the pieces back apart upon discovering an assembly mistake .

Umm, those are mine, StarGhazzer...

And yeah, moar recycled mobile suit designs to complement the lord of recycled animu that is SEED...

Woot woh yoh, MG Gundam F91 is finally coming! At last, some real substantial MS icons from teh superior UC timeline. Now it seems there's hope of an MG V2 Gundam in the works . And moar HGUC goodness! Hopefully Bandai'll remake a lot of MSs from the CCA PlaMo series. Because as can be seen from most of my posts early in this thread, I tend to collect only 1/144 scale ( aiming for a complete 1/144 scale Gundam collection, hence the strict adherence to this scale), so any good HGUC production is sure to pique my interest. Thanks for this uplifting news, StormV!

And no salt, I'd take this in like drinking hypercharged lye with a dash of root beer flavour in the early morning and go WOOOOOO-Hoo!.

Fodder Soldier:
mate I'm no expert and that example you used is one of my very early model.
I'm bit embarassed and flattended if someone think that one's good - I'm planning re-do that one some time in future

Here are some of later ones - PG kits - and hopefully not as bad as that PG Mk-II.

PG Zaku II
PG Gundam

and if anyone's curious here's the one of early PG Gundam I did.
Yes I know it sucks...
At least the new one I built is much more neat and clean - too clean actually and I may put the weathering down the track like I did with PG Zaku II

Well, no harm meant, mate. It was pretty good if considering it was one of your earlier works. Everyone has to start from somewhere, right? (and I've yet to start airbrushing, waaaa.... )

no worries mate

for the air compressor I've heard people built their own one using compressor and what not from left over of small bar freezer???

salute to a big time gundam model collector......
can u roughly calculate how many units u having now?

...wow, I'd like a custom-made airbrush powered by an Electrolux fridge too...

Nah, too damn lazy, easier for me to fork out hard-earned cash and get a production one...

And awesome finishing work on the PG Gundam and Zaku II there, is like they got a slightly pearl sheen on them. And like I frequent the 1/144 scale, do you frequent the PG models?

That is a tough question. I'm not sure, after my precious 1/100 scale Turn A Gundam model that marked the 150th point back in 2000, I've lost count. At this moment, 175 models, maybe?

Actually I'm pretty impressed myself over this amount, since I'm not actually a financially-loaded person, and this PlaMo hobby is actually one of my six import-based hobbies, so it's pretty much madness, considering how I managed to survive all this time... ha ha... Maybe I did get the hang of budget-planning. I thank God for this blessing...


P.S.: And one more thing, hitler. Your GitS-Innocence avatar creeps me out, ha ha...
"Now you don't see it, now you do! (and wished you didn't...)" Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'pop-off'.

another hobby of mine is collecting game console titles - last time I checked (Oct 05) I have over 600+ titles for several last-gen, curren-gen consoles.

I'd started to collect since early 90s so it's been over a decade now
and constant headache to missus

for PG model they are finished with semi glossy - well I added the flatten agent to glossy top coat I had at that time - but it came out bit too glossy for my liking.

sadly I don't have much choice with top coat as I cannot but in bulk and if I ran out with matt I have to do with glossy one.

I only build MG in 1/100 and PG models - though nowadays spend more time to re-do or fix my old kts due to the lack of time. Only time I had go at building new one is when someone paid me to do. Here's the latest one I build on the commission.

I haven't built 1/144 kits since high school and that was a very long time ago

lol
i like GITS innocent much
got the movie in my pc with the whole series of 2nd gig
but no mange to watch 1st gig, n now finding the 1st movie for gits


175.........
that's a big amount
think u might had spend around 20 k on them

wow, haven't been here in a while...Fodder Soldier, so many kits you have

hitler, I see you've fixed up the Strike Rouge + IWSP...looks great

175 kits! Wat an impressive figures! I wonder how Fodder Soldier going to keep all these lovely models while trying to make sure each of them get enuf exposure for display

dj898, very nice painting job there. Wonder whether u plan to set up a websites to teach on assembling n painting job.

Strike Rouge + IWSP kewl...

That was one thing I've yet to dare do, calculating my past expenses in its entirety and see how much I have spent in the name of Hobby. Some things should remain hidden...

Good point, and the answer is not all get to be displayed. The only ones I'm able to display in a protected environment (i.e. glass-panelled cupboard) are:
my Gundam Flag Units,

my Evangelion set,

a couple of gashapon figures and my recent MG Zeta ver.2.0 (for the moment). The rest? Packed together in their respective boxes, meaning GunPla packed according to series (had to form some sort of organized storage procedures in order to keep track of them all) and stuffed in my primary overhead storage cupboard.

I know it's like 'unfair treatment' to the rest of the PlaMo, but it's better than not being in an ideal display environment, thus getting themselves exposed to the elements (dust, direct sunlight, kids...). Once in a while I do take out a couple of PlaMo and display them at random places, e.g. on top of the computer, bookshelves, etc. But none as audacious as the time I hung my Millenium Falcon model to the middle of the ceiling fan, har har... hyperspace spin...

for me only Gunpla on display is this ver 1.5 Ramba Ral Gundam diorama
missus tolerates 'coz it has the large wooden base



the rest are all packed away or given away

for the web site to teach?
there are already enough web sites with more skilled modellers out there and I'm not that skilled enough to teach others more like still a lot to learn

I've learnt a lot from military/airplane modellers web site as well as working with few of highly skilled modellers in the past (well before I got married that is)
