An entry for GBWC Singapore 2015.<div>
Kit consisted of the main ms from HGCE Aile Strike kit and the weapons attachment from HG Perfect Strike kits. Unfortunately, I had to use acrylic cubes to support to back as the kit was so back heavy that it will topple backwards if no action base was used.</div>
<div>
Modifications done includes scribing of panel lines and pla-plating.</div>
<div>
Took this opportunity to do some detailing with metal parts and hand painting.</div>

<div>
Masking of the energy pack was the most time consuming due to all the edges, some minor bleeds but it can be touched up easily. Paint the white part first, then mask for painting of the dark grey parts as grey goes on easier onto white than white on grey.</div>

Also tried to paint some details with hand painting. Not the best out there but ok for my standard.</div>
<div>

The sword attachment on the shoulder is quite tricky as it is made from just 2 pieces and the seamline run right in the middle, meaning that once you cement it, it can't be removed in future.</div>
<div>
At first, I sawed off the "triangular" part and though of attaching it back using either a pin or a magnet. But then I figured out that this part can be made easily from some pla plates.</div>

Adding in of more details starting from the torso region using pla plates, pla stripes and scribing of new panel lines.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For scribing of lines, I used a 0.15mm chisel and a 0.3mm chisel. No specific rule as to which size I used for which parts, went with my gut feeling on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found it easier to prime the part first, then draw out the line on the part using a pencil as pencil seems to stay better on primer than on bare plastic. The lines are then scribed using a chisel guided by dymo tape.</div>

Doing a Perfect Strike Gundam using the base kit from HGCE Aile Strike with the weapons attachment from HG Perfect Strike Gundam.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The HG Perfect Strike used the old mold of HG Strike Gundam, proportions was way off and there weren't much color separation for the parts, although it was the only kit that provides the sword, launcher and the energy pack.<br />
HGCE Aile Strike came with a new mold, better proportions, better posability, and great color separation for the parts, looking more sleek than its stubby counterpart.<br />
<br />

<br />
Beginning with the base aile strike kit, it was a relatively straightforward snapfit, nothing too complicated for this scale. Ball joints at the waist and shoulders allowed more articulation.<br />

A before and after shot.<br />

Priming done over all parts including the gloss black parts. Gold parts primed with black primer for gold paint.<br />

<br />
Painting of the metallic parts. I decided to go for 2 types of gold using bright gold and starbright gold. Some steel paint on selected areas. As the gold was airbrushed over black primer which was a flat finish, the gold was not as bright compared to spraying over a gloss black base.<br />

Painting the other colors was relatively straightforward. Red and black. Red painted first, mask over then black painted.<br />

Gave a very subtle wash, and seal every thing with topcoat. Gloss over metallic parts and flat over the other colors.<br />

Some photos of the shading process. Tedious but rewarding to see the effect. Black primer to act as the base coat, then spray red paint in the middle of the panels using a small spray size.<br />

I went for a metallic scheme for the inner frame. I was actually thinking of using Gaia Starbright iron for the inner
frame, but since I was too lazy to go out, I made do with what I had
currently.<br />Color test on pla-plate with black primer underneath. Left is Mr Hobby Steel and the other is Mr Hobby Burnt Iron. Seemed like burnt iron comes out a little rough despite being thinned more, so I went for the steel color. <br />

Mixed some paint for the main reddish color, but it came out too purplish. Repainted the head with a more pure red paint. <br />

All parts laid out and accounted for. A total of 40 parts including 3 transparent parts. V-fin came with a cardboard backing for support.</div>

Surface is relatively smooth, hands felt a little greasy after handling the parts. Grease on the parts needs to be removed during the washing stage.</div>

Attendance was amazing, more than 20 people turned up until it made the venue seemed a little crammed. It was a good opportunity for forum members to meet each other, get to know the face behind the forum nick. It's not everyday that you get to talk to a whole bunch of people with similar interests. All the passion overflowing.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures that I took during the gathering. Did not manage to take pictures of every single kits there and I missed out some of the participants names too, my apologies to them :) <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Resin MsB Freedom Gundam done by Chris (AmuroRay). The lighter grey goes really well with the white parts, unlike the one I did where the grey was too dark. Lots of detail mods, such as pla plates on the shield, metal parts for the backpack cannons, and metal mesh for some internals. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
RG Zeta done by Vendy (Vickon). Perfect finishing, a mixture of gloss and flat coat, not to mention the scratchbuild mega launcher with those details. A pity it cannot transform due to a broken part. But leaving it in waverider mode isn't that bad either.</div>

These 2 small kits aren't SD size, they're from the gundam converge series (even smaller than SD). Done by Jonathan (Landel). From the 2nd picture on top, you can have a gauge on how small they are. A total rework on the kit, painting, detailing and even adding LED. On the Nu gundam, there are those tiny green areas which actually glow under UV lighting. </div>

Custom painted Blade Liger and a modded Bearguy into Iron Bearguy. I really like the color transition some of the gold parts, changing from gold to orange-red, not easy to achieve such a smooth transition. I heard Kotobukiya's Zoid kits are littered with seamlines, completing it is certainly a huge achievement.</div>

A team of HG Sinanju in different color schemes. The title of this set is called "Power Rangers Sinanju" if I recall correctly. I think all sorts of color schemes have already been done by people all over the world, but it is still quite interesting how good it looks!</div>

I had already finished snap fitting it quite sometime ago and left it back in the box. Will be doing some minor mods to improve overall
look, saw some mods online and will attempt to copy them.<br />

</tbody></table>
Kit is China copy of MG Epyon, so surface is not as smooth as the original, see what I can do with this kit.<br />From this picture, you can see the head is sitting quite low. Image from dalong.net<br />

<br />
Here goes the neck extension. Neck joint sawed into 2, stacked pla-plates in between and re-attached the sawed off joint. Head now able to bend down more, appearance more menacing.<br />

<br />
And a mod that I saw online that I really liked, hands into CLAWS!<br />
I used epoxy putty to lengthen the fingers, shape them roughly into the shape that you want, leave it to harden then slowly reshape it as desire.<br />
Took me a few rounds of slicing and sanding to get it to my wanted shape. <br />

Started as a OOB build, then primed, then went back and decided to get the resin, then prep work and prime again, then painting and so on.... Quite a number of hiccups on the way but I'm glad I finished it.<br />

Kit is MG 00 Raiser + MS-Build resin conversion recasted by Utopia Cast.<br />
Probably not going to attempt another MG 00 or it's variants cause it just has so many parts...but great design on the kit itself!<br />

Proceeded on to painting next. Thinking of doing a RG color scheme, 2 tones for the white parts, not quite sure about double tones for the blue areas.<br />
Got the main colors painted first before doing any masking for 2nd color tone. As you can see from the parts, I'm doing both the 00 gundam and the raiser together, cause if I finish either 1 first, I will be too lazy to do the other one lol..<br />

<br />
I started work on the kit the next day. Fitting was generally good, don't need any major surgery, just some trimming of the connector pieces.<br />
Torso area was lengthened, some parts of the inner frame was replaced with the resin parts. Additional panel lines and details.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
GN drives bulked up compared to the original plastic piece. The original part consists of just 1 blue part, which was switched out for 6 resin pieces for each GN drive. New GN drive looks more bulky now and kind of resembles the design from PG 00.<br />

<br />
Assembled all the sections together. Overall proportions looks better, probably due to the lengthened waist and leg parts, and the bulked up GN drives also does complement the whole thing quite nicely.<br />

(Now I'm burnt out after this build lol)<br />
Kit is HGAC Wing Gundam I bought from a recent HK trip (@ S$16!). Simple and straightforward build, not much seamlines to clear other than the huge one on the rifle.<br />
OOB build, no modifications done.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i48.tinypic.com/i6dmap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i48.tinypic.com/i6dmap.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Should be an OOB build with shading, nothing too fancy, unless I decide to get the resin conversion kit for this (not sure yet).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So far, managed to finish priming the kit. Not sure when next update will be, so stay tuned!<br />
<br />

<br />
Long overdue work here (since June 2013 :P), primed kit had been on my desk ever since and I just kept playing with the poses.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i43.tinypic.com/12631op.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/12631op.jpg" height="640" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
Decided to just go for the resin conversion kit from MS-Build. Just replacing the outer parts with resin pieces, slightly more details and "angled", especially at the GN drives holder.<br />
<br />

Went for a dual tone color scheme, nothing too complicated other than the masking.<br />
Mods done include neck extension, improvement to legs articulation, and replace thrusters with metal thrusters.<br />
