If you can go to 1U, why not just head over to Midvalley. It's not like they're 51321894654 miles apart. >_>

Ah, long time since my last post, and I can see a lot of development here, good, good...

Been through a busy freaking 2 weeks of studies and exams, and after that, playing continuous MechWarrior, HL2 and BF2 PC games; thus my 10+ day hiatus from the Internet.

Then I finally got my well-deserved after-exam present for meself: MG Zeta ver. 2.0. At last! A new addition to my 1/100 scale Gundam Icons collection (if not counting my previous Zeta Gundam ver. 1.0)

Got the fellow PlaMo Gang to help out too.


After this one's done, then I have to snapshot an updated pic of the Gundam Icons one more time. 

And then maybe continue working on my Nu Gundam conversion and Mortar Headd Vatshu upgrade projects. Yay!
And P.S.:

LOL Owns. 

I always had the inevitable feeling that those open-palm hands would come real handy.   

erm..u sure nvr paint or paste?
looks pretty complete to me 
good job

WINS FOR BUYING IWSP!

Fails for not coloring it.

hmm..well not 100% complete..but if u take a look at the guns at the back...is it coloured    thats pretty rare colored

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!.

  ...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'.

i saw this at klcc o..haha~~~

Even though its a HG, its still a 1/144. I rather wait for the 1/100. 1/144 kits are too small for me

eh? Out already? Where can find?
