Some Warmachine Khador Models Soon!

I will be getting some Warmachine Khador metal miniatures next month! I am currently researching on how to play them at Battlecollege and I am excited to paint them as soon as I have them!



The photos below are the models that I will be getting. All of which should be fun to paint as they are well sculpted white metal miniatures from Privateer Press. However, unlike the huge resin model Hordes Mammoth Gargantuan that I primarily bought for painting, the figures below other than the Fenris, Widowmakers, Widowmaker Marksman and the Spriggan ( fat robot with a lance ) are not too interesting to paint. I hope they are fun to field in an actual game though.



I am still learning how to blend colors in hand painting. I am now using Vallejo Mediums while hand painting and I am loving the results in comparison to using distilled water in thinning my paints.

I hope to finish my Shocktroopers soon and will sure to post them here in my blog.



I will get back to my Gunpla commissioned works next month but decided to only work on them during weekends. I plan to paint minis ( miniatures ) for 2 hours a day during weekdays though. Hopefully my 2 hour per day weekday Warmachine painting sessions will slowly help me field a fully painted Khador Army. Dang I hate sleeping much more now than ever before. 8 hours or 1/3rd of my life is wasted on sleeping! 2 hobbies ( Gunpla and Warmachine ) is too difficult to balance!



Anyways, just wanted to share my excitement as usual. I also need to have this list archived here in my blog to make it easy for me to reasearch the list at BattleCollege. Thanks a ton as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Heroclix DOTA 2 TideHunter verDC23

It took me a while to finish this commissioned work of a Heroclix DOTA 2 TideHunter figure as I had to wait for my "Kolinsky" brushes for hand painting I bought online. One of the secrets in hand painting with  acrylic paints ( Vallejos ) are the brushes! Crappy cheap synthetic brushes will deteriorate fast as the acrylic paints will eat up those plastic bristles during hand painting. " Kolinsky " or at least Red Sable brushes are a must!



Anyways, this little toy was made a little bit more interesting by removing the Heroclix base and re-painting it. This is fully hand painted with Vallejo Model Color paints, Vallejo Water Effects and sealed with Vallejo ( Resin ) Gloss Varnish. I tried my best to add details thru painting but the sculpt of the toy is just not as detailed as real plastic, resin or white metal miniatures.



It took me a couple of days ( maybe even 3 days ) to achieve the look of the custom base as I had to apply around 4 or 5 heavy coats of Vallejo Water Effects paints and let cure for at least 12 hours. Anyways this was a fun little project fully hand painted with my Vallejos. Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next completed build guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

HY2M Air Shock Battle 1/12 Beam Saber - review

I got this cool Gundam toy a few days ago and wanted to post photos the moment I opened the old box. HY2M stands for Hyper Hybrid Model and this is a 1/12 Air Shock Battle Beam Saber released way back 2008. I think based on the box, this is compatible with the huge HY2M 1/12 Gundam replica sold for 3,400 USD at Bandai Hobby Shop.



Obviously I can only afford the beam saber and I love this toy / replica so much. When you turn on the beam saber it vibrates and releases a nice start up sound. It then releases some humming sounds whenever it is idle and it also turns off when unplayed for a minute or so.



The beam saber has motion sensors that releases different kinds of swooshing sounds depending on your movement. Try pretending that you are a Gundam and pull the beam saber from your back, the sound is really cool and it even has some vibrations.



Their are two red switches on the hilt, the first one releases more swooshing sound effects and the other one is way cooler as it releases some Amuro phrases! A red light around the tip area also lights up as you play with the beam saber. The speakers is at the bottom of the beam saber and it releases not so loud sound,  I mean the sound effects could be louder and flashier.



Anyways, never mind the kiddie lights and sound effects, the toy / replica looks soooo stunning on my computer desk. This is a must have for any Gundam fan as it is not that expensive at 1,400 Php. Now here are some photos...

Pinky Street Evangelion pilot figures

Ello guys, I got this really cool Pinky Street figures of Rei Ayanami ( white ) and Asuka Langley ( red ) a while back, I think I got it for 700 Php. I had a 1/100 model kit of an Evangelion Mass production Eva before ( 1998 ), it's the white mech with red lips and Angel wings. BUT, other than having that...I am not really familiar with the series. I am familiar with the pilots Rei and Asuka though, but I have not even watched a single episode of the series.



The figures are really really cute, they have very limited pose-ability though but the cuteness itself is worth grabbing these figs. The details on their uniforms is very crisp and the colors of the figs are really vibrant. I have 0 idea of what they are holding though and their awkward-leaning to the right pose makes them difficult to balance. I have a small blu - tack underneath their foot to keep them standing. Now, here are some photos of these Evangelion figs...

Thanks for viewing! ;)
