Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 |

As I've said, before I proceed in Dry Brushing the Inner Frames I will be doing a bit of Articulation review first. 

This Inner Frame is way different from my other Wing EW Kits.

So here is the Inner Frame assemble. Basically, what I built here are those inner frames composed of the Gray Parts. But for this Kit, some inner frame parts are not in the Dark Gray color so this might lack of parts in terms of complete inner frame structures.

Here is the Manual Scans for MG Tallgeese EW. In terms of Manual layout, it has the same with the other MG Wing EW series kits and I liked it a lot that they made them all the same layout.

Finally, after a few weeks of deciding whether which Kits I want to build next here it is now. I choose MG Tallgeese EW first because I had this for almost a year already and second I got excited with the new Knock-off Kit of Tallgeese III by Dragon Momoko. If I had some spare money, I might want to buy that Knock-off Kit along with the Shenlong Sword and Tallgeese Halberg and Lance (both Knock-off too). So much for that, here is the preview of the box art for MG Tallgeese EW and the Unboxing:

At last, I finally finished on this WIP. I top coated it with Bosny Flat Clear a few days ago. I rushed it because I have been taking so long in completing this project. I made a risk on spraying it because I know that I might get Frosting and here it is. As you can see most of the parts got frost but not that much. I have retouched it with my weathering master and repanel lines some of the almost removed panel lines because of the frosting. 

Here are some pictures I took today after the final retouch an panel lines:

Here is the complete weathered with markings Wing EW. Only 1 step to finishing this WIP. A flat coat will end this and I might add more weathering on the parts that I think a little bit clean than the other parts. I have pose it like that because I had problem posing it while in the action base holding the Buster Rifle point in front. I can't do the proper way on letting the Bustle Rifle hold onto the hand. I also found out that the left arm keeps on loosing from the shoulder when the shield is installed. After I apply flat coat I will try to fix it so it can hold all the weapons properly. Here are some shots I took on the New Years day.

Just a small update before the Christmas day hits. I worked on to the Leg and Head Unit to make the Wing stand and celebrate Xmas with the boy band. What's left to do here are the decals which I will be doing last before finally closing the WIP with flat coat.

Should parts

What's left to do here is the markings and then finally sealing it with Flat Coat. But before that, I will do the other parts such as the Head, Legs, Backpack + Wings Units and Weaponry before finishing them all for final coat. That's it for now. Thanks for your time.

Package No.27

I already have a progress on my Wing WIP but I got busy this day so I wasn't able to continue the WIP. So much for that, another Bird has landed. This time its not a Gundam, its an RC Helicopter I recently bought. I have been eyeing for this since 2011 first with those Infrared RC Helicopter. Now, I had the chance to buy a much advanced RC Helicopter and I am pretty much excited on flying this thing. 

Now about the packaging. It is not packed with a new box but it is bubble wrapped all the way. There is no damage at all on the actual box. But this package came late again just like my MG Proto Zero. I wonder why LBC now is always delayed on there deliveries?

I think I will be giving this Bird a review. I will run through the parts and accessories. Some of the flight preparation but before that I need to study/read the manual for proper flying even though I have been training on my simulator and studying on the internet on how does my Bird fly. That's it for now. Thanks for your time.

Package No.26

Finally, the Bird has Landed! This was released in October and I waited till November before it came to the Philippines and then being shipped to me. The shipping from the seller to my area took almost a week before it came. This is my first time having super delayed packages from LBC which supposedly a 1 day shipment only. 

The one thing that I am worried about delayed packages is because it has a high chance for your package to be ruined upon transit. Gladly this one is perfectly boxed and bubble wrapped for strong packaging. 

This package came last day and last night when I was about to blog this, a power interruption occurred and  wasn't be able to finish the post. So here it is now.

I'd love to build this ASAP but I haven't finished yet my current WIP the Wing EW. I am also quite busy on my job. Hopefully this Christmas break I can finally finish my pending WIP and move on to this one. That's it for now. Thanks for your time.

WIP Part 4: Bandai MG 1/100 Wing Gundam EW: Parts Preparation and Inner Frame Finished

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 |

This is a super late update on my Wing WIP. I was uploading this last November 8 early morning but I was caught by the power interruption when the time Super Typhoon entered the Philippines. 

I prepared all the parts and kept them all in separate containers for easy navigation. I also finished the Inner frames details. I tried to assemble it, so I used the white parts for the arms unit just to make it. 

How I apply Dry Brushing

I made this small tutorial on how I apply Dry Brushing for those who haven't tried dry brushing. 

Here are the things you will be needing for this process.

Paint - I always use my Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver for dry brushing

Paint Brush - much better if you use your old one because you will be intensively brushing it to the part which might ruin your brush if you will your new ones.

Paper - this is where you will be brushing first your paint brush to remove some excess paints before brushing it to the subject.

Lastly is the part you will be applying the Dry Brushing.

Here is the Manual Scans for the MG Wing Gundam. Mainly the construction manual is almost the same with the ver.Ka except for some information from the design in comparison from TV and EW series.

It's about time to start working on this Kit. First is the Box Preview.

As you can see, the box art is uniform to the other Wing EW kits I already finished. The box suffered a lot of dents because of the handling of the shipping. The only difference on this Box art except for the subject itself are the Top and Bottom part. The Top shows the Bird Mode and the Bottom is the Mobile Suit which unlike with the other Box Art both Top and Bottom has the same layout.
