hg 1/144 GN-X WIP part III - color scheme study

I am currently in the office right now and I just finished doing a custom color scheme study of my 1/144 GN-X build. I did this in Adobe Photoshop CS4 and I did 4 custom color schemes. I fancy option A the most coz it was inspired by Sammy's RGM79C build.

As I've said I have 4 color schemes I am choosing from,option A is an orange and blue gray scheme, option B has a scheme that is much similar to my PG Zeta build, option C is the usual striking combination of red and white and option D is your usual yellow and white scheme. Now here are the edited photos with custom color schemes...

Please help me decide on which scheme to use...do drop a comment if you have the time on my new DISQUS commenting platform. thanks! hope to see your inputs on this.;)

hg 1/144 GN-X WIP part II - detailing mods done?

I finished this yesterday but I was not able to take snapshots of it coz my battery ran out of juice. I have started on this build even though I have not yet finish the WG, though an enamel wash and a final topcoat would complete and finish that build.



Anyways, this is just a relax build thus I am lazy to cut small pla plates for detailing and just used some MSG option parts instead and scribed a few more panel lines. As usual I am itchy to further add detail to this but hopefully I would decide to just paint this as it is by weekend. Now here are some photos of the kit so far...

Thanks for viewing! til next post! ;)

hg 1/144 GN-X WIP part I

I cemented the seam lines along the head, crotch, chest, lower leg, forearms and the frames yesterday and sanded them with a 600 grit sandpaper. Yes, 600 grit is pretty rough but it removes the stubborn sprue marks fast and I will be re sanding the parts with a finer grit later anyways.



I plan this build to be a relax OOTB build...however I started to add a few panel lines on the upper leg armors and I am currently restraining myself NOT to mod it further. BUT then again...I always end up adding a few simple pla plating here and there. Now here are a couple of photos of the added panel lines on the upper leg armors...

Thanks for dropping by. ;D

HG 1/144 GN-X snapfit - DC23

I ordered a couple of Samuel decal sheets from Hobbies Corner a few days ago and one of those sheets is a Samuel decal ver 2 sheet fo Advance Hazel. So I went hunting for the Advance Hazel yesterday coz I plan to do it ootb with Samuel decals as a relax build after the AC White Glint.

Obviously, there was no stock of an Advance Hazel, thus I grabbed a 1/144 GN-X and a SD Guncannon instead. So basically I am holding off the PG MKII commish for a while and I have 0 inspiration to work on the 1/100 Seravee and will work on this kit instead. I am actually going to remove the seam lines  of this kit before continuing to add the sponge paint chipping effects on the other parts of the White Glint...

It took me an hour to snap fit this kit coz I was appreciating the design of the mech thus I was pausing to admire each segment of the build. I like the design of the mech so much I might get a MG of this soon. The pose ability of the shoulders, arms and legs are almost MG like but the head can only move upwards, the design of the collar armor restricts the movement of the head from side to side.

As usual with 1/144, there are a few seam lines to tackle...along the head, forearms and the lower leg parts and a few parts to mask. The kit does not have much gimmicks but has a nice gun that came with the kit, plus the clear parts on the chest and head are a bonus. 

I highly recommend getting this kit coz it is the easiest 1/144 that I build so far ( I don't do much 1/144s though ) and is one the the cheapest 00 1/144s out there that is impressive looking out of the box. Anyways here are some pics of the snap fitted kit...
