Eva 00 WIP PT 2

HG Eva 00
Ok one thing I absolutely hate and like about this kit is how High Grade it is lol
Come on you guys know what im talking about:

Nice parts but whats this? They are all grey but take a look at the manual:

(I'll go from left to right)
1. First of all the Lance of Longenoius(too lazy to get correct spelling)
Its Grey but in the picture its clearly Red.
2.Next pic the entry plug is white and grey looks cool but I get a black entry plug...
3.The Head looks nothing like that lol the white circle is blue the back half of the head
which shows up white is blue and they give you a sticker... I'm not using it.
4. The little picture with all the weapons ugh looks nice but all grey even the shield being black in the picture is all grey.
5. Taking a look at the Color Guide in the middle the spine area is NOT grey they are like black
and the like place where your umm adams apple (?) would be the red part is like a dark red and im pretty sure the middle piece is not red.
6. under that the actual plug for power is black and the foot is like grey on the bottom but
in reality is like red black and blue (???)
7. Back into the color guide the grey chest pieces are blue but they do give stickers which I won' t use smh

So wow I don't remember NONE of my high grades being this dificult to color. I think I'm going to using a mixture of spray painting and hand brushing and priming to get the results I want. Its really crazy its like the size of a 1/100 the colors of a First Grade but some movability of a High Grade. I dunno if I'm going to buy another EVA kit lol I will try out the newer ones though Asuka's Unit looks nice and maybe Shinji's just to have the whole family but thats a big if because they are expensive.

I mentioned before the Hate in this kit and now ill mention the like. Its really going to help me with detailing and perfecting my brushing and testing things out. So in that aspect I kinda don't mind. I love Evangalion and Rei and 00 so I will stick with this kit. But I just wanted to warn you guys you really need to know whats ahead.

Perfect Grade /Rant or something

Hmm I just spend some cash on some new kits or so and I know im running out of space for my kits. I soon will be buying another Detolf from IKEA and rearranging something’s in the "Man Cave" to accommodate the new kits. But after I fill up that other Detolf I might take abreak from Gunpla. And my last kit that I want to do most likely will be a perfect grade.
So far these are the three I want well one of the three, and what I think about them.
PG 00 Raiser

I have seen some sick version’s this kit and it looks like a good bang for my buck around 250-300 for the Raiser and 00 not that bad. But the Price of the actual kit is whats making me kinda stray away from it. Yea a big bang would be whats up I just spend 300 on my last Gundam but I just can’t bring myself to do it lol maybe if it gets lower?
PG Strike Gundam

Hmm cheap kit GSAM sells for 150 not bad I might buy this one but as everyone knows I don’t like the guns so ill probally end up with the big sword which is nice and I like the design of the kit. But you know it kinda seems a bit simple for a pg maybe im looking at it wrong?
PG Astray Red Frame

Drools this has what I want… SWORDS most likely this will be the one I get. I Have the NG version and would love to get the MG version but right now I’m going to wait. I might go with this one not much bad I can say about the kit thought. Has everything I want.
As far as PG Strike Freedom umm I love Strike but I have the MG and im not super hype about the PG version. If I can find it cheap maybe just maybe ill get the RX-78 but its meh right now. I also kinda like Wing but it wasn’t enough in the kit that made me want it, for all that ill just get the Master Grade. If I find any of those PG’s at a good price I think ill nab one. Not saying ill never do Gunpla again but ill probally take a break and devote my time to something else like learning Japanese  for now though I got a nice WIP and I only see myself buying maybe 3 more kits (yea I know I always say that) but I only really want MG Unicorn, Hi Nu, Wing Gundam and this baby if I can ever find it in stock:

Is that too much to ask? Lol /rant

Dec 24th? More like 22nd

Ok so here is my big surprise. Maybe more or less suprise for me.
But I was waiting till the 24 till I had some extra money but things went my way
and I got my monies abit early. I ordered this :

And This

My First Resin Conversion Kit and my First Kotobukiya Kit from the good guys at Tatsu Hobby(link on right)! I'm so salty for not noticing that Rockman was on backorder but now that I think about it doesn't matter. I'm still working on my EVA 00. Afterward I'm thinking of working on my HG Destroy Mode unicorn with stand. After that I'll probablly work on my Force Impulse. I say probably because I want to start on the kits for Otakon ^_-. At this point only other kit I see myself buying is Unicorn Master Grade and a whole lot of supplies. I might be buying a Airbrush but if I do and money permits it probally won't be until the end of the month. I saw a nice air compressor at the hardware store for 60 and the air brush is 60 x2 (one for kits and one for cakes) so I'm going to wait before I go spending that much. I think thats it for this little update stay tuned for more with HG EVA 00. Hopefully sometime this weekend I can get some more of it done ^_^,

HG EVA 00

Doesn't this look super complicated?

No elbow joint FTW! /sarcasm

Organization is key!

Hmm what can I say about this kit? It really helps me apprciate master grades lol I have ao much to paint smh. Couple pictures above or below using this new app to post from my phone. Umm I gotta pick up some primer and some masking tape too for this and future projects smh at this kit lol

HG Reborns Gundam 1/144 FINAL

Ok here is my final say on this kit. Its hot. Would I recommend it to anyone else? Most definitely. Its a great. I know me personally I could have put abit more work into it but it looks awesome the way it is. I could have detailed a bit more. I really like the panel lines that are all over the kit. At first glances its all red and white but once you build it the panel lines kinda make it look alot better.
Some More Pics











I broke like 3 pieces but the crazy glue I used is holding pretty well so im not that upset. Great kit now I just need to buy a variant of the HG 00 Raiser to have them fight.

Lookie what came in the mail

Check the unboxing on youtube @

Quick Update

I been so pissed off lately. I think I might stop doing HG's after I finish my back log smh

I dunno what it is but with Reborns I broke 3 parts. The Skirts/Saber/Waist Leg Peg.
I was going to experiment with panel line wash and I figured I would take it apart just legs/arms/waist and test it out. Took off the Left legg and bam the peg broke smh.

I did put some krazy glue and it seems to be holding but dag whats up? I don't think I have grown that much in strength or the gravity has changed in my basement.....

Anywho for now I think after my back log which unfortunately has like 3 HG's (Destroy Unicorn/Kshatriya/Eva00) will be my last batch of HG's for awhile.

I was already moving towards doing only MG's anyway so shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

Panel Line Wash & Update

Ok so I think I want to step it up a bit and maybe its just for the sake of being lazy or finishing my Gunpla faster but I think I'm going to start Panel Line Washing.
I went and picked up these last night :

Now I just need to pick up some Black/Light Grey and I will try it out on Unicorn HG most likely. I'm still waiting for my packages to test out somethings to finish up Reborns so stay tuned.

~Updates~
Next Month I want to order the Resin Conversion for Kshatriya and maybe a couple more bits for my kits I want to enter into the Competition for next year's Otakon.

I think tonite I will start working on Eva 00 should be fun. And I need to swing by Micheals and pick up some more brushes maybe and some Oil Paint ^_^ Stay Tuned.

Update

Ok so I finished Reborns I just need to finish up on the whole panel lining and Clear Red the Saber. And ill be done.
I will be working on Eva Unit 00 Next and ill make a video for Reborns sometime this week. I been trying to hold off on buying any kits but I accidently brought one (not really by accident) Heres my Order from GSAM :

Gundam Marker Fine Point Black
Gundam Marker Gold
Gundam Marker Grey Fine Point (i forgot to take this off I think its NOT Fine Point)
RX-78-2 O.Y.W. Anime Color (Special Clear Armor Parts) Master Grade
HG Sparkle Red and Aque Blue Action Bases

I'm gonna try and run to Micheals with my 40% coupon and grab some Micron pen's for my Destroy mode unicorn as well.


I think thats about it for my update though, I also wanted to ask you guys do anyone use pencils for panel lining? If so which ones?

HG Reborns Gundam 1/144

So Basically I painted the whole kit just need to paint the saber and panel line the thing. I love the kit, it has tons of pre made lines for panel lining. And It looks so much cooler in person than on the pictures. I used Gundam marker to make the yellow on the face which looks fantastic. I broke one of the sabers and the back skirt :-( I gotta crazy glue the saber but I fixed the skirt but its not in these pictures. Hope you like :-)

NYAF/NYCC Review

Ok so sorry it took so long to make this. I had no idea that I never made a review although
I did make a video review I just forgot sorry lol
So first of all it was NYCC (New York comic Con) X NYAF (New York Anime Festival)
They merged the two this year and hence you got what I went to. Good things were lots
and lots of things to do. Bad things there was lots and lots of things to do lol but didn't
have that much time I went Sat and Sun, I got to play alot of video games and missed out on some
events because I either didnt know they was there or I just didn't have time.
Example of lines:


Here are some pics of the games.
Marvel Vs Capcom 3


Micheal Jackson Experience on Wii



I got up on stage for MJ (can't find me on youtube yet :-() But other than that great game I'm gonna buy it. MvC3 lets just say I was 3-0 love it I alread pre-ordered mines. Great game!!!

Cosplay:
Was pretty good tons of people not alot of people cosplayed I can kinda feel like the people who did was purely there for anime though:

Gundam Contest that I didn't know was there >_> and when I did and planned to go back they was gone lol but the bandai booth there was pretty good and I have some other gundam related stuff too:





































Overall it was pretty awesome. I got to see the NYC sights again ( I love NYC) and went to some old stores like Image Anime and Midtown Comics. Great time I think right now my Staple for Anime conventions will be (in order of apperance) Katsucon, Otakon, NYAF. So far they are the best for content and things happening all around really. Thanks for reading leave comments below :-)

Oh yea I did see the Gundam 00 Movie it was fantastic ill make a video of my impressions later this weekend hopefully.

Can't find a pic of the stuff I brought but heres a list:
Android Guy lol
Tralfagar Law
2x Megaman Figures
Buttons

I also made a video on youtube with the stuff but I actually forgot to add that I got a limited eidtion Toki doki Street Fighter Fitted. I will make a video of it soon :-)
