Breaktime.

I'm sorry to let you know i'll be out of the gunpla for some time.
Dont know how long but i think it will be a while before i'll be back in buisness.
Everything and everyone wants a lot of time from me and i got to make some choices because i cant do all the thing at the same time.
So i decided to put gunpla on a hold.

I would really love some more time for hobbies and stuff like that, but my house friends, girlfriend and a whole lot of other stuff are swalowing up my time.
And if the lack of time is not the worst thing bandai decided to make a mg of my favorite gundam: the deathscythe.
I think it's pretty crappy they do ver ka, but its also a challange to mod it.
I'll get it when i start building again.

Well thats it for now and before i forget i did some gun and feet modding on the seravee.
You'll see some photo's next time.

see ya soon and good luck with building

Pre-assemble seravee complete.

I completed the seravee minutes ago and im stiling thinking about some small modifications.
Customs mods on the seravee are hard to find on the internet, not that im going to copy tem.
But i thought to get some inspiration out of them.
Ow well it aint a problem because i kno what i want on the seravee : more detail.
Thinking about some pla-plating in it, and i'll see if i have some aftermarket parts for it.
And for the weapons i'll try to detail them a bit to, wich will be hard for the shoulder cannons and the knee cannons.
As for the paint scheme ill leave as it is.
Maybe ill put some stripes on it or something like that and a few different shades of colour.

Well here's a picture for you from today:



And i guess its getting time to get my airbrush from the attic.
Because i really need to get the f-16 in a paintjob.
I cant let the little boy form my old neighbourhood waiting forever.
and i need to paint my own models too.

This is it for today, if you know any mods on the seravee let mee know or show me.

See ya next time...

More pictures of my work in progress

Like i said in my post of may 26, i'm watching the 00 second season now.
And i orderd the desingner colour models of the arios, cherudim and the seravee a few weeks ago.
I'm al in the 00 series mood and started building/pre-asemble the seravee gundam.
Not sure if i should mod the huge m%therf$cker or change anything to the paint scheme.
I like the designer colour models since there not as brightley coloured like almost every gundam, and the decals are a nice finishing touch to the model.
Here is the first picture of my pre-assemble.



Since im not a big fan of huge kits like full armor models or huge ones like an aqguy, i kinda like this one.
Most of the time its models like an strike-freedom, destiny or deathscythe wich really exicte me because the look fast and mean.
It's the same thing i have with the fazz sentinel, the model has something in it's looks that i like.
Can't really tell you what it is but i like it.
Maybe you can compare it to the feeling when you see a girl, youre first thought is that she either looks nice or not.
Ahh well enough talked about that here is another picture for you guys.



I'll try to finish some of my other W.I.P as soon as possible and post them to.
This is it for now, hope you enjoyd it.

As promissed some photos :D

First thing i did after work was taking a nice shower.
Second thing was getting up the attic and search for my cable between the digicamera and the laptop.
And i found it thank god, if you could only see the mess its still is.
Finding something specific is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I was pretty sure where i left it so a 5 minute search was more than enough.

Lets get to the point.
Building the f-16 was a bit different than a gunpla, in fact the only thing they got in common are that there made from plastic, there modelling kits and there used for warfare and thats about it.
The whole kit is a single color in plastic, and it has 3 cups of paint with it : black, white and grey.
It only has water slide decals and enough small pieces to make you insane in a day.
I started building about 3 weeks ago withthe boy from my old neighbourhood.
Did not finish that day so i picked him up the week after.
But he changed his mind to playing some playstation and let the building with me.
After all it took me about 5 or 6 hours to glue it al togehter and this is te result:


Nice pic of the plane with the box.



Shot from above.



Front view



And last but not least some weapons.

It stil needs some paint and decals, but that wont be done this week.
I'll try to complete it within a reasonble time but i cant promise you guys anything.
Until next time

Unexpected company.

Well i promissed post some pictures of my progress this weekend since my GF was off to a festival.
Unfortunaly i got company of a very good friend wich stayed for the weekend.
I did make some photos of the F-16 fighter plane, but i only have to upload them to my laptop.

This is the kit :



Got the picture of the internet.
I'll try to get them on my blog as soon as i can.

Until soon.....

Unexpected company.

Pretty late this time.

Well just like the last time, im pretty late with an update.
My house is still taking a lot of time an my GF to.
But i found some gaps to work on modelling.
I build an f-16 fighter-plane for a boy from my old neighbourhood.
His dad is a bit clumsy with building thigs some they asked me.
The plane is almost done only a simple paint job and some decals.

As for gunpla i did some work on the Chaos gundam wich is a rather simple model if youre building MG's al the time.
Dont get me wrong but i think that they are some times a bit to easy, the dont really challenge me enough.
At least the Chaos is not, but i also have a HG arios, seravee and cheridum.
I really hope the give more satisfaction.
Maybe i will try to build one of them since im watching 00 season 2.
Wich one of the 3 is your favorite ?

And before i forget i build some of my PG gp01 with a nephew.
Not much only the feet, i can really notice its a older model.
But its complex and i love it.
I will try to make some pictures of everything as soon as possible.
And please leave a comment, im a bit curious if anyone still folowing my blog.
Thanks !!

Been a long time

Well as the titel tells us, its been a long time really long.
To long if you ask me.
First im still not done with my house many small things have to be done.
And it doesn't stop there, i've got 2 bedrooms and an attic to make a bit nicer and more my own style.
Bit by bit im going to get my house nicer, better, newer and more liveable.
As for the gunpla, if got my Chaos gundam snap-fitted (not sure if i mentiond this before).
And i orderd 3 more kits from hlj, only because they where on 40-50% discount and i had some money on my paypal.
The kits i bought from hlj are the designer colours : seravee, arios and the cheridum.
They are scale 1/100 and look pretty good.
I also took the opertunity to order some aftermarket parts for my master grades.
This is it for now, im gonna spend 45 minutes on custoizing my chaos gundam now

A sneak preview of my Aegis

Some of you might remeber that i was working on the Aegis at the end of last year.
Well since im a bit of gunpla the last months i'll give you a sneak peak at my Aegis.
I made these pictures last years.
At first this model was to get some more expierence with my airbrush.
Half way building it i came across decal fix, wich makes decals fit better to the model.
So now the model had 2 things i could practice on it.
Well i have to say that the airbrush part has gone pretty good, still not sure i'm gonna use the same paint next time (thinner-based).

Well here's 1 pic to get you warmed up.



As for the decal fix, i think it works but i havent sprayed any top-coat on it.
Last time i used it the decals underneath looked a bit white, like there was a layer of air between the top-coat and the decal.
I hope decal fix wil solve this problem.

I also started on building my 1/100 chaos gundam.
Still not sure if i'm gonna use it in my first diorama.
I'ts going te be modded to start with.
Make it a bit more detaild and less plain.

Well this is all fo now.

And last but not least i'll show you another pic of my Aegis

What's your opinion ?

Well i have to keep my blog alive, preferd with gundam related or gundam stuff.
So thats why i'll trow in some questions for you and i hope you'll answer them.
It's nice to know what you like most about gundams, so here is my first question for you :

What do you like more a clean, plain and simple model like the acguy


Or does your preference go out to more complex models with many details, like the strike noir ?



I like the more complex models with many details.
Also the different in heights on a single piece like an shoulder is something i like.
It really gives depth to models and detail.

For the second question : if you had to choose between straight egde's and few curves or round models with few straights lines.
what would you pick ?

I would choose the first one, im not a big fan of round/curved models.

Hope to hear something from you soon.

Some pictures of my house before and uder construction

Well as promissed here are some pictures of my house.
The before photos are made by the company who sold the house, so they are not the best.
As for the after pictures, my brother made them.
He made the photos of the construction works and stuff.

before

The livingroom front side.


The livingroom backside.


This is what i see if i look out my frontwindow.


The kitchen.


And the last one the bathroom.


As for the photos they need some explanation.
I bought the house from an old lady who was about 80 years old (think yo noticed it hahaha).
Everything looks really old and it is.
But with a lot of help and some money i tried to made the best out of it.
The compay who sold the house did not make pictures of all the rooms so i dont have more than these, but ill show you some pictures of the other rooms later this month.
so here are some photos of the work in progress

We took out a giant piece of the wall between the kitchen and backside of the living room.
It went from 90 cm (the door) to 250 cm in total : a nice open kitchen.

we also took away the door from the hallway to the kitchen, so i can put in a big L shaped kitchen in my house in the future.
In this picture you can see that the space of the door is filled with blocks.


Here's a pictures where we are aplying glassfibre sheets on the walls.


And finally some paint on the walls (took forever to get to this point).


A nice picture of the winter outside, the ice was about 50 cm in lenght.


You can see the new floor in this picture.
Almost everything that needs to be done in the house is done by myself, my big and little brother, family and friends.

The only thing that i could not do and had to get done was new electrical trough the whole house.
Lucky me 1 of my friends is a certified electician and he did it for free.

And here is the last photo where you can see a friend of mine with a girlfriend and my own girlfriend.
We just finished getting in some furniture that i got from familiy and friends.



to give you an idea of what was done in 9 weeks, here is a list of stuff we did.

-took a piece of wall out (about 250 cm by 265 cm and 16 cm thick)
-repainted the whole livingroom, kitchen, hallway, stairs, upstairs and my own bedroom.
-filled the gap that was left by a removed door
-layed down a new floor in the livingroom, kitchen and the hallway
-new electrical trough the whole house.
-and lots of little things

Ill get more photos and pictures of the rooms done and still to be done.
Including my new hobby room wich is more of a storage room at the moment.

Hope you enjoyed it and give youre opinion please
