Gundam-You!!! (Force Impluse, 1/144 FG)
December 19, 2006Since late August this year my brother and I started gunpla modeling. Since hindi naman namin balak i-career, we settled to use only hand brush and spray paint for big parts. Anyways, my first attempt was with "Force Impluse", #1 sa collection ng Gundam Seed Destiny. Lesson learned: Don't be too excited or you'll end up over spending! Firstly, I bought Acrylic paint tubes at a local bookstore sa MOA. Sa excitement ko, I immediately hand painted the parts and evantually failed miserably because the damn paint won't stick! (later found out that you need a PRIMER para smooth ang hand-painting) Sa tigas ng ulo ko ipinilit ko pa din! I even tried submerging parts into a pool of paint and hanging it out to dry. Ayun, pangit din kinalabasan. Hehehe. Muntik ko nang itapon. Nanghinayang din ako kaya tinanggal ko na lang pintura (acrylic paints is waterbased so cleaning is easy). To make the long story short, I invested some (most?) of my worktime researching in the net and found out tons and tons of tips, on how to properly remove parts from the sprue, how to prebuilt, how to paint and even how to pose your model! My brother did this too so we planned what other stuff to buy and started to paint the proper way. So, here it is.
Hey, I didn't say that I was an expert right away! Mukha daw 12 yrs old ang gumawa sabi ng isa namin officemate. hehehe. Tanggap ko naman eh. There's still a lot of room for improvement!
