Marvin's gundams
I'm having a bit of a dilemma on which gundam I should enter in Danny's Figure.fm giveaway. but I figured I could probably be able to choose while posting some of the old kits I've made over the years.
these universal century gundams are among the first MG gundams I started building. the oldest is the green GM, followed by the blue RX-78 then the Titan Zeta and then the pink Nemo. I'm thinking about using the Nemo as the contest entry but am wondering if a grunt unit would be good enough to join. ^^;
the EX-S Gundam is actually the first MG kit I bought. I saw one at a friend's house and though, I want one as well. fortunately for me, he offered to have it painted for me. however since I wasn't the one who painted it, I would probably be unethical to enter it on any contest. ^^;
painted a MG Crossbone to resemble the XM-X2. I am actually thinking of using this gundam as the entry. one of the strongest contender among the bunch. ^^
a PG kit with a resin add on, got the resin kit from an online seller. was actually expecting a painted kit, but was shocked when it arrived unassembled and unpainted. I'm not sure I can use it as an entry though since I'm not sure if the rules would allow resin add ons
another resin kit I got along with the PG IWSP pack. was also expecting a painted kit. but I guess it was my fault for not reading the page completely before buying. ^^; realy want to enter this one, but since it isn't a gunpla. no can do. ^^;
after seeing Keita's work, decided on copying his color scheme. although this kit looks nice, it does lack originality. so I guess I won't be using this as an entry
a recolor of the RX-78-2 Gundam. always wanted a real type gundam so decided to paint one. this kit is another strong contended to be an entry. unfortunately there are paint inconsistencies around the chest area.
another gundam I'm like to use as an entry. this is actually the last gundam kit I was able to fully paint before painting was banned in the house. note though that I was the one who banned painting not my wife. ^^; baby's health first before gundam. ^^
among one of the nicest kits around, the Shin Musha Gundam would probably be a great entry, however aside from the lacquer dragon sticker, it guess it wouldn't be any different from any other MG Shin Musha Gundam.
so now it's a battle between the MG Crossbone, the MG RX-78-2 Gundam ver Ka.and the MG Strike IWSP. I'll try to decided before the end of the day, until then hope you enjoyed seeing the gundams here and thanks for reading. ^^
Wow...you custom colour most of your kits. That's impressive.
I like your white Strike Freedom. ^^
thank you tamerchris. the Strike Freedom's color scheme was actually based on the famous gunpla builder Keita's work. ^^
I remember that Ryuu Musha~! ^_^
^^
tat's a lot of kits u painted! ^^
some are funky! lol XD
thanks. ^^
Your choice of colors and customization to your kits are really awesome! Although all your MGs such as your Musha and white Strike freedom are magnificant, I find the Pink Nemo... too pimped for words =~=
thank you.
Zeta Gundam looks great in Titans colors. I say go with the Musha!
thanks Necro, will consider it. ^^
Awesome kits Marvin, all of them have potential ^^ I'd say it's rock,paper,scissors between the Pink Nemo, Musha, and Freedom :D
thanks Roy. was actually thinking of painting the Nemo in a clownfish scheme at first. ^^; I'm glad I sticked with pink. ^^
I'd go with the Strike+I.W.S.P. that you last painted in the house. It looks purty!
thanks LS. I love that kit. ^^
Those look great dude. Mods are allowed; I saw Danny okay it somewhere. So I say go all out, and use your best one.
thanks for the info FatB. hmm... to use or not to use the PG Strike IWSP. ^^
hm yea quite hard to decide... I think the ones with the coolest parts are PG strike and Strike Noir.
Remember poses are important too! XD
^^ I'm still confused on which to use at the moment. but I have to decided soon since I still have to take photos of my room for Danny's otacool competition. ^^
damn you marvin!! You have the IWSP resin kit!!! I wanted one, but they were all sold out by the time I discovered it and G-systems aren't really known to do re-releases!!
The Intergrated Weapons Support Platform looks heavy, requiring two stands to support the weight~! o,0
you are right, it is very very heavy. ^^
lol ^^;
if it's any consolation, the resin kit is more trouble than its worth. the weight forces you to keep the gundam crouching while on the skygrasper stand. you won't be able to pose it anymore since any pose would make the gundam topple over and you'd end up breaking some resin pieces.
Ex-S please... that way I'll at least have a chance with either my GP02 Repaint or the clean EX-S I have here.
lol. ^^;
hey marvin, shin musha please. I like the dragon sticker! rawk!
thank you. ^^ still thinking about it ^^;;;
Good collection, great skills, superb modelling ethic, You inspire me!
*salutes*
Seriously, I'm loving this RX-78 Bro.
The paint contrast is very nice.
I agree if the chest paint was better, we would have a winner.
