Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 |

Hi guys, I stopped my WIP back in a few days because I don't have the camera to use along with my WIP progress. Now, here is my latest progress of my WIP. 

I used Tamiya Acrylic paints. Chrome Silver, Leaf Gold and Red. Here are the pictures while doing the WIP.

I painted the Backpack thrusters with Chrome Silver in the outside coat and Red in the inner core.

WIP Part 7: Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms EW: Backpack Inner Frame and Weapons Assemble

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 |

In continuation of the Inner Frame assemble. I also built the backpack and the weapons. Here are some picture taken upon building it.


WIP Part 6: Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms EW: Inner Frame Assemble

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 |

I always love assembling the Inner Frame first so I can do some detailing on before I assemble the armor parts. I find this very tricky to assemble because some of the non-inner frame parts are needed to be assembled first. Like the one one the missile pods on the shoulders. I didn't include the missiles parts first because I wanted to do some painting on to it. Here are some pictures I took upon assembling.


WIP Part 5: Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms EW: Washing-Drying the Runners

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 |

Basically, I always start my W.I.P. with washing the runners. I do this because I believe chemical residue is still on the plastic after the packaging of the KIT. This residue may prevent the paint from sticking on to the plastic itself.

I only use dish washing liquid and a sponge. Just lightly wipe the sponge around the surface of the plastic then rinse it at least 2 times. Then just set it aside to dry.

Review: Banpresto One Piece DX Figure The Grandline Lady Volume 1 "Jewelry Bonney"

Hi guys, here is my follow review for the Grandline Lady Volume 1. Now I'll be reviewing Jewelry Bonney. Still from One Piece Anime/Manga. Manufactured by Banpresto.

The packaging is more the same as Nami's Box. It's just the picture is Bonney with her name printed and her Insignia. I also research about Bonney, it says that she is the Captain of the Bonney Pirates. She is from South Blue and She is one of the Eleven Supernovas.

Review: Banpresto One Piece DX Figure The Grandline Lady Volume 1 "Nami"

Hi guys, sorry for the short delay of my latest items. I got busy and not feeling well. So here it is, from One Piece Anime/Manga. It's Nami of the Straw Hat pirates. This is manufactured by Banpresto with the series of One Piece Grandline Lady.

The packaging is more or like the same for the Grandline Children box. As the usual Grandline Series, you will have the banpresto logo on the upper right corner and the toei sticker on the lower right corner. Of course the picture of the Figure on the front under it is the series name and its volume. You can also see the insignia for Nami with the Jolly Roger skull.

The right side of the box shows the back picture of the figure.

Package No.7

Hi guys, I'm back with my latest items came earlier today. It is Banpresto One Piece Grandline Lady Volume 1 Nami & Bonney. I bought this last day in a bargain price because the owner is investing for a Gundam Model Kit. The deal turn out well since we talk in our own dialect "waray". Though he is residing in Cebu, he's originally from Eastern Samar. Here is the packaging.


I was given choices on what Courier will deliver the items for me. Air21 would be nice but it is 1 day late than LBC. So I choose LBC. I don't know if they handled it with care, since the box is slightly squeezed. Or maybe they taped the package so hard that's why the box was squeezed.


The figures box is wrapped inside with this black paper bag
