Noblesse Oblige #03 - finally

Continuing from more than a year ago here: http://msmav.blogspot.com/2010/02/noblesse-oblige-02.html

I had some runners that I actually airbrushed, some just primed and the rest with no paint at all. I just don't feel like airbrushing them for some reason.

The two arm parts from last time are now now connected as you can see from the pic. Also added some more stuff on it (weapons?).

The parts below are for the legs. Having looked at the complete model, they seem to be the thigh protector/armour. I do some panel line on them every time I finish a section from the manual.

These parts are also for the legs. The top one is t he completed section and the bottom part are the pieces still to be put together.

This is now the combined parts from the above. I'm still "no good" at panel lining. The few mistakes I made on the lines are quite noticeable and it's quite hard to fix them because.... I don't really know how. :)









The next section will be the lower part of the leg so I'll probably be doing that either tomorrow or whenever I feel like doing it... as usual. :)

Noblesse Oblige continuation + PG RX-78-2

That's right... I finally got up and looked for the missing piece from the Armored Core plamo. I kinda misplaced the construction manual for it but I luckily found it.

Also, I got a new plamo to work on... probably after I finish the Noblesse Oblige or maybe in-between. I recently bought a Perfect Grade Gundam RX-78-2 "30th Anniversary Model Extra Finish Version".

Bought it from a good ebayer in Japan at a decent price. Thanks to him again.
Highly doubt I will do any painting on this one. The runners are just like the MG Shin Musha "Sengoku no Jin" I did, molded in gloss colours. Not sure how I'll do the panel lining yet though.

Bacho Blue Destiny Gundam #06 FINAL

And so I finally finished reworking Bacho Blue. It took a while and I'm quite impressed with what I did to it. I could've posted an update yesterday but you know. :)

Here's the pic I took yesterday when I've done putting the gold colour on the sword.

And here's the finished, painted Bacho Blue and the older picture for comparison.

I used my sister's DSLR camera so you'll see some difference in quality.

And that's it. I don't think I'll be able to continue with my Noblesse Oblige plamo for some time as I have mentioned before, there's one piece of plastic missing and I haven't really searched for it yet. I might start with the MG Gundam Noir though.... we'll see. :)

Edit: This was posted some 2 or 3 weeks ago, seems after I edited it, the date changed to today's.

Bacho Blue Destiny Gundam #05

I felt like continuing it so I did. :)

The first white coating actually looked quite good but since I have another type of white, I wanted to try it out. It's pearlized white so it looked more glossy... I quite like it though but it's a tad bit dark. Next time I'll mix it with the white coating I have.

Not sure if you can notice the colour but it has definitely changed. The other 2 pics that I took looked quite bad so I wont put it here.











As usual, if I don't get lazy tomorrow, I might be able to finally finish it. Otherwise, give it 2-3 more days. :)

Anime

Just started watching a new anime series. It's called "Nyan Koi".

Here's a summary taken from ANN: Junpei Kōsaka is a second-year high school student who despises cats and has an allergy to them. It just so happens that his high school crush is Kaede Mizuno, a girl who adores cats. One day, while walking home from school, Junpei kicks an empty can and unfortunately beans the local neko-jizō-sama (guardian deity of cats). He finds he can now understand what cats are saying, including his family's own ill-tempered cat, Nyamusasu. However, if he does not grant 100 wishes from cats, he will turn into cat 
himself.

Love it, watch it. :)

I was going to continue colouring Bacho Blue but it was raining pretty hard yesterday when I came, I just didn't feel like doing anything at all... but I'll continue it today and hopefully finish it by tomorrow or the next day. If I don't get lazy, I might post another update in a few hours. Otherwise, it'll be tomorrow.

Bacho Blue Destiny Gundam #04

Finally an update. I was actually off work for 2 days but laziness took over as always and just ended up re-watching Naruto Shippuuden from episode 157 where Konoha was attacked by Pain.

Well, early this morning, I just decided to continue with this one. Only thing I've done is primed the surface though. Nothing much really. They were the leftover white parts so once I'm done painting them, I'll be finish with it.

Took some pics using my new phone. They look good enough to me. :)

Edit: The formatting looked horrible after posting it with small thumbnails. So had to redo a few times.

Xperia Arc Battery

Got home about 4 hours ago. Was so tired I fell asleep for 2 hours.

As posted earlier, the battery of the Xperia Arc seems to drain very quickly probably due to some software bug(my guess anyway). I looked around and found that there's a simple way to fix it.

Before, the battery would drain about 10% every hour in which case, the phone would only last in 10~11 hours. Now to remedy that, simply before you unplug the charging cable, press the home button to "activate" or "switch on" the phone screen and do not unlock the phone. Only unlock it after you pull the cable then restart your phone. That's it.

If my phone's fully charged, it'll stay @ 100% charge for more than an hour which I find pretty neat.

Now as for the Bacho Blue update, I'll probably continue doing it on my days off which should be coming soon, or whenever I have time(not being lazy).... whichever comes first.
