Gunpla making equipment GET!

Hey all!

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days. My residence hall blocked my image uploading site and I had to complain through their online thingy for them to check it out.

Anyway, the materials I think I need for building gunpla arrived last Friday! I was totally psyched but didn't start building cos I wanted to spend time with Shin who came down for the weekend.

Stuff I got are (from left to right, top to bottom):

Pipettes (cos I can't find any in my uni labs god damn it), brush set, medium and fine abrasives and paint stirrer.

Model knife (which came as blades, damn website and their photos showing the pen-like holder too), paint tray (can be used for other stuff), tweezers and micro side-cutters.

White spray, clear spray, paint thinner, yellow, black, grey, blue, white and red acrylics.

I did a bit of work on my Beginning Gundam by nipping and sanding. Getting used to it a bit but I had cases of over sanding and nipping too close to the part :( Live and learn I guess.

One runner stripped and sanded nicely!

I'll be updating and posting any significant developments in my first Gunpla trial in years. 

So come back soon!

Thanks for reading!

Beginning of Gunpla!

Yo all!

A while ago, I received the package I ordered. Dun dun dunnn!

It's the 1/144 Beginning Gundam from Gunpla Builders Beginning G "series"!

The reason I bought it is because of seeing friends back home having fun fixing their gunpla collections. Makes me jealous and I was at my limit and my hands were itchy though my wallet went "No, Fox! Think about it first!". Come to think of it might have possessed my girlfriend cos that's what she said too.. Hmm hmm hmm.

Anyways I did think about for another... week or so, looking at tutorials and finding out techniques and thus what equipment I need. When I finally got the list of stuff to buy, my wallet, girlfriend and I, had this face:

Buuuuuuuuuuut I bought it anyway. Now I just want Monday to come faster so I can get them and start building!!!!11oneone

Anyways, a quick show of what you'd get in the kit:

7 runners and be aware that the "wolverine" sabre hand is the same material as the sabre, you'll need to do some painting to make it look nice.

And an instruction booklet with some basic how to tips too!

I might post some work in progress pics or maybe just show you the end product, I'll see how it goes!

Stay tuned for more!
