Strike Freedom Completed except the weapons. this kit took me quite a long time to complete as i tried to add extra detail to this kit. The extra details are: Drilling holes on the shoulders, added gold plaplates strips to the shoulders, cutting the front skirts to let it move individually.
I have both the 1/144 and the MG 1/100 Full Burst Mode(which is currently W.I.P), usually i find the proportion of 1/144 is better than the 1/100. But for the Strike Freedom, the 1/100 have better proportion as compared to the 1/144. The 1/144 looks fat...
Bought this 1/144 Yzak's Gouf Ignited as i like the look of this gouf. Was initially intending to change the colour scheme to black one, but in the end change my mind and stick to the original paint scheme.
Again, this kit is done using the (no-paint-only topcoat-method). The only painted parts are the swords which i painted yellow and the thruster to chrome silver. Overall, very satisfied with the result.
I got the compressor from Kelantan Lane at a shop call Aik Chin Hin Machinery Co @ only S$120, after much scouting around hobbyshops. It works exactly like those branded hobby compressor which cost close to $200 plus, and its quiet. So far, it has not let me down. They also have a similar one that comes with airtank selling at only $180. It's very cheap in my opinion.
The dual action airbrush was bought in taipei when i went there for holiday. The cost of the air brush is around S$60, which i thought was cheap for a dual action airbrush. But the main reason i bought this airbrush was the option to choose between top feeding and bottom feeding. this is very useful to me when doing plamo.
Another of my work, but this is way easier to do than the fake kit. I must commend that bandai have really improve and hide the seamline and the mark from cutting are hardly visible for the stargazer series. Stargazer is really a good kit with minimal seamline. For this kit, i try out the (no-paint-only-matt-topcoat-method) as it is a white kit. Very satisfied with the result.
These are the photos of the completed kit after beatification..lol. Putty the seamlines, filled the small holes, make the joints tighter, and added some detailing to the chest using plaplates. Change the colour scheme to black and silver. The silver on the kit is sprayed over a black coat to enhance the silver colour. After painting, decals are added.
To start things off, this Strike I.W.S.P is a pirated kit which i bought last November to *try *try and found that the quality of the plastic quite jia lat. I find the plastic quite easy to break and r alot of dimple on the plastic, also the colours of some of the decal and parts are not the same as the original. And also the joints are very loose de, very hard to hold the pose. Luckily, it can be solved by applying some cement on the loose joint area to make it behave like the bandai kits ....sian have to do quite alot of work.
Have been doing Plamo for some time now, so i thought i start a plamo blog to keep track and showcase my works. Tune in for updates :)
