The October lootz

well. nothing much on October.. just a MG Zeta Plus C1 according to my wishlist.. guess i'm just got one down finally.. next will be MG Hyakushiki.. damn.. the price for MG Hyakushiki rise again.. last price i saw was about RM150 but now is RM 169.. i thought the currency for US dollar drop will lower the price but the Japanese yen seems getting stronger at the same time.. have to watch some financial news.. haha.. still got lot of kits not build yet.. and still buying extra kit.. zzz.. wish i have more time to build all of them.. as fast as Z.. haha..

so.. these are what i bought:

-MG Zeta Plus C1
-Mr.Surfacer 1000
-Mr.Surfacer 1200
-Mr. Color Gloss black
-Mr. Color orange yellow

oh.. finally.. back to Mr.surfacer 1000 and now even better.. the 1200 version.. seems i can get more fine surface.. haha.. the Mr.Surfacer 500.. almost dry up.. yeah..

damn it.. i can't find the semi-gloss or mat black.. gloss black?.. mm.. quite hard to handle as from my experience.. and i was looking for the orange color but only able to get this orange yellow.. i saw another similar color but it's not orange and its yellow bla bla bla.. but looks like orange too.. haizz.. never mind.. try it out first..

gotta slow my post speed a lot now.. final coming next week.. only able to recover to the normal speed at the end of this month.. and i guess most of you still mourning for the close down of Nk's blog.. haha.. well.. i'm not use to it now as i visit his blog twice a day..

so..

see you on the next post..

two more steps to go.. adding the pla-plate on top of the shoulder and cutting some extra part of the back wings and it will be complete for sanding and prime..

first of all.. from the sketch of the chest and some additional armor of the legs.. i have re-create it.. cutting lots of pla-plate out and make it smaller and slimmer.. adding two more pla-plate to the front skirt.. and got the back wings complete (so_called complete)..

this is how it look like..

but i'm having problem on the wings.. first of all.. the weight issue.. too much pla-plate added to the back and increase the weight on the backpack..

second thing will be the wing design.. the size is a bit too big.. have to cut some area to improve the flexibility..

as you can see from the last two pictures.. how the wing block by the back thruster and the best way to solve this.. cut the area from the wing that block by the center thruster..

next will go on sanding..

stay tune

The END?

I thought it was a joke like some of the blogger like to do.. but after reading the long post there.. it is true.. unbelievable true.. it was about ngeekhiong.blogspot.com.. i saw it change its templates few days ago. and then.. i saw this news.. Prelude to end.. well.. what a sad news.. i'm like most of you guys out there.. relying the news that coming from him.. all the latest news.. as he put a lot of efforts going through different website.. collect and compile (maybe translate) all the news and post it up for us.. thousand thanks to his efforts on us..

many of us will think whats the reason that make him stop this blog.. just.. don't need to guess or predict.. he will post it up soon..

stay tune for his last updates..

re-supply

the perfect tools will not always the tools from the same field.. haha..

went to stationary shop yesterday.. got some tools.. well.. its not for my study.. haha..
the best alternative tools for hobby will not always from the hardware tools.. sometimes stationary tools can help too..

so.. this is what i get

- graph paper
-eraser
-compass( don't know what it called)

i forgot to take the picture of the new normal knife and ruler..

why graph paper and how is it help?

my free hand drawing's skill is totally sucks.. so every time i have to use ruler draw some line vertically and horizontally to create boxes.. then only sketch the part out.. this method is also more easy to re-cut the same parts out.. but it take a lot of time to measure and draw the line.. so i choose to use graph paper with ready boxer in right measurement.. draw it from there, cut the shape out and re-draw the shape into pla-plate.. more faster..

compass.. why need compass? to draw something in curve?.. maybe.. but the most important thing is the sharp "torn" that can use to sribe line easier..

erasers.. erm.. not that recommend to replace those epoxy putty.. i have try to cut it but its not easy..guess i'm really need to buy those epoxy putty..

i don't know what this call also.. i Mr.Nk use it a lot.. to hold the part for painting.. so i plan to get some..

that's all for the tools..

HG Mobile CGUE Xist custom WIP 4

alright.. sorry for the long wait guys.. but the wait is not over yet.. because it's not complete yet.. haha.. too busy with a lot of things recently.. so don't even have time to update this blog or work on this kit.. but i have made a real draft of the work on this kit.. the real draft?..  means some base work or the foundation of this modification.. so.. enjoy the pics..

the next post?.. i hope is the post of getting all the added part done with primer.. now.. searching some material to form some block to improve the connection on each plate armor.. i saw some of the people using resin to re-cast some part.. some using putty.. so.. any recommendation?.. my plan is cutting eraser.. but that sounds funny and impossible..

to be continue..
