ORANG TAMAK SELALU ........

I'm still waiting for mi MIG productions rust pigment for my regult pod, and using this as an excuse, I start yet another model kit. The one I've been waiting to do all along. Kotobukiya's 1/100 scale MGS Rex. I wanted the 3A version soooo bad. The first time it came out as a pre-order, I was getting married, so I couldn't pre-order it. When it came out last few months, I was (still am) expecting a baby, so I missed that as well. The cheaper alternative is the koto kit, which I am doing right now. So, you can imagine my extra enthusiasm to build this kit. I was so into it, that I forgot to take any pics of the process..hah! But I can tell you this, the model kit is worth every sen!!! The fucker is detailed as fuck!! I'm planning to get a second one soon! 

So anyway, here's some pics of the basic color scheme..

That's all for now.. Hopefully, I can finish this and the regult pod before my mini-me comes out!

COLOR ME BAD..

What a wonderful weekend! I've finished my office layout design for my cient, so now I have time to fully concentrate on the Regult Pod. Started off with the base color, and then continued with the masking process..

Basic painting stuff fellas. This is after the application of decals..

and some cockpit details..( with a bit of photoshoppin')

Looking good so far..

  

Test fit's a go, but I gotta say, don't be fooled by the scale 1/72. This thing is a MONSTER, which makes me wonder the size of the motherfucker were it real. Check out the size comparison I made with my phone..(old school rocks! fuck yeah!)

That's it for now. Hope I can weather the sonofabitch by this week.. Stay tuned!!

THERE AND BACK AGAIN

It's been a while eh? Since the house ID was completed, I've a few other necessities that needed my full attention. So, the workshop was closed for some time. Good news is, I managed to start on a mini-project, a Bandai 1/72 scale Regult Pod. For those who wasn't born  in the 80s or wasn't into Macross, a regult pod is a 2-legged pod that the zentradis (bad guys) use to fight the good guys. Go check the animation already! So anyway, here's what I've done so far...
