WIP Part 8: Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms EW: Dry Brushing and Detailing

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.

Package No.8

Hi guys! After how many successive figure reviews I made, I'm back with my new Haul. Now its a Gunpla in the House. Just came earlier this morning. Here's a preview of the packaging.

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.

Right side of the box.

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

Review: Banpresto One Piece DX Figure The Grandline Children Volume 2 "Boa Hancock"

Hi guys! Doing a consecutive review for my latest figures. Still from One Piece Manga/Anime. It is Boa Hancock when she was a child. Manufactured by Banpresto with the series of One Piece Grandline Children. 

I got this figure along with Ace. As usual, their version of child looks cute. I love their faces specially those big eyes.

The packaging is the same as Ace's 7x5 inches box. With similar marking on the front of the box you will see the Banpresto Logo on the upper right side and the Toei Gold Sticker on the lower right part. Some printing of the name Boa Hancock and the series The Grandline Children vol.2.

The right side of the box shows the Figures front. And some writing of One Piece and The Grandline Children.

Review: Banpresto One Piece DX Figure The Grandline Children Volume 2 "Portgas D. Ace"

Hi guys! Here is my review of my latest addition to my hobby. From One Piece Manga/Anime. It is Portgas D. Ace when he was a child. Manufactured by Banpresto with the series of One Piece Grandline Children. 

I got this figure just yesterday, The price is nice since the Item is bought directly from Japan. These figures are fun to collect and they are mostly cute than their older versions. 

The packaging comes with more or less 7x5 inches box. On the front of the box you will see the Banpresto Logo on the upper right side and the Toei Gold Sticker on the lower right part. Some printing of the name Portgas D. Ace and the series The Grandline Children vol.2.

The right side of the box shows the Figures front. And some writing of One Piece and The Grandline Children.

Package No.5

Hello once again, I'm so sorry I cannot maintain the post in my blog. For those who have been following my post since the start of my blog. I've been doing some Gunpla works for a competition and part of the rules is not to show or the entry shouldn't be in the internet until the end of the competition. So, I hope you guys understand.

For now I have this in my Haul, Banpresto One Piece Grandline Children Volume 2 Ace & Boa. I got this from a friend who is working in Japan who happens to return in Philippines for a vacation. I haven't opened yet the figures itself. Here are some pictures of the packaging:

As usuall, LBC is my best recommended courier because of their packaging and handling of the item specially  for figures and gundams kits.

What's inside the LBC packaging is a thick black plastic bag.

Enamel Wash Test

Hi guys, I'll be posting early today since I'll be going home later no extension time to do the posting. Today, I will show you an Enamel Wash comparison test I made earlier this morning with my extra MG Lukas's Strike E + I.W.S.P. foot. 

The first picture shows an Enamel wash with the bare plastic out from the box.

The next picture shows an Enamel wash with a Gloss Coat on the plastic.

Paint Research 2

Sorry guys for not posting back in few days, I've been busy in my work and been searching for my paints to be used on my WIP. I guess I have to continue on my Paint Research post since not all have been tackled in my first post. 

Commonly, people who is into the hobby uses tools, paints, etc. what they've seen thru internet or those preferred for hobby use. Example of that is Tamiya Paints. Basically, we use these 2 kinds of bottled paint from Tamiya. 

Acrylic | Enamel

Notice that the color are the same but you can distinguish its difference by the color type printed on the bottle. You can also differentiate it with the bottle size. Acrylic with the round bottle and Enamel with 4 sided bottle. Just a review back in my first post. Acrylic is Water base and Enamel is Oil base. I've seen problems in the internet regarding what to use in thinning Acrylic or Enamel paints. You can use lighter fluid for thinning Enamel paints or you can use the Tamiya X20. Watch out for the label for each bottle because Tamiya Enamel and Acrylic Thinners come in the same item code X20.

Of course you can use variety of paints for this hobby. There are so many paints out in the market with the same kind and are good too. You just have to learn on how to work with the paint and on what you are painting carefully. Because, this might damage your plastic.
