Good day and hope you are enjoying your Sunday even though it’s currently raining here. I am ending the month of June with this post on another Gunpla completed build update. The kit is the HG 1/144 scale RX-77D Guncannon. I am actually proud of this recent build because I was able to utilize well the weathering effect set and a few of the waterslide decals I’ve bought from Samuel Decal. In addition, following the proper layer of Clear and Flat Clear top coat proved useful.

Here are some pose shots I did of the completed kit earlier today. Enjoy!

Here is part two of my work on my first Master Grade Gunpla kit, the 1/100 MG Wing Zero Custom. As mentioned previously, my plan on the painting is to keep it simple with just basic colors and Flat Clear paints.

My work today was to complete the arms and shoulders, and to paint the rest of the parts.

New batch of painting jobs.

One benefit of summer heat is a good day to paint. :3

and more painting jobs...

The partially assembled arms.

The WZC shoulder armor. I am getting to enjoy this build.

I will try to finish the kit by the weekend.

That’s about it I guess. Until next post!

Since it is nearing the end of the month of September, I’ve got the buying urge again on purchasing new Gundam kits. Even though I haven’t finished completing my previous purchased kit (the 1/144 Blitz Gundam), I think my hands are getting itchy on constructing new kits. That is even without mastering the Gunpla painting skills yet.

Anyhow, I’ve looked for other online stores in Manila to check if they have decent prices and available kits. My previous purchases were from Great Toys Online and Wasabi Toys. The later prices’ is cheaper though you had to wait a day or two on their response if you ordered through the site, in which they usually email back at near midnight. I think they don’t have online support on the store, though you still can contact through their store cellphone number for faster transactions.

My latest find was on eBay (which I was forced to create an account). The search results yield kits from different series; the common two were from Seed and Double O. The sellers are still from Great Toys Online though I wonder why the prizes here are lesser than those in their website.

Here are the review videos of my choices so far:

First is the 1/144 HG Gundam Dynames

 
Next, the 1/144 HG Gunner Zaku Warrior

These two are my top choices as of the moment (as I’m trying to avoid buying more. Arrgh). Hopefully I can finish building the last kit before buying one of these. *crosses fingers*
