1/144 MSA-003 Nemo (full painted build)

Published on May 9, 2013November 8, 2014 by darkandchoco/暗いとチョコ17 Comments

Hi guys! This is the first kit that I have accomplished using my airbrush. Still a noob work and needs a lot more improvement.

This is also the first time that I used water-slide decals.

Paints used:

Tamiya Acrylic:

Medium Gray

J.N. Gray

Light Blue

Chrome Silver

Gold Leaf

Gun Metal

Copper

Nato Black

Panel Line Accent Color (Black)

Bosny Spray Paint:

Primer Gray

Clear Gloss

Clear Matte

What I did:

First I snap-fit build the kit and decide the color scheme. After I have decided and planned my color scheme, I took everything apart, sanded and cleaned the nib marks then primed it using Bosny gray primer. Once everything has been primed and dried I started airbrushing everything using my planned color theme, I hand-painted some of the details. After that I sprayed Bosny Clear Gloss over everything to prepare for panel lining using enamel wash. After using the Panel Line Accent Color, I cleaned the excess using enamel thinner then applied some water–slide decals that I have acquired in a recent haul. Lastly I sprayed matte coat to seal everything.

Enjoy the photos:

Using my newly bought Tamiya Spray-work kit was easy and convenient, worth an investment rather than using all those spray cans.

MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Ver. Ka (painted build)

RX-78-2, the White Mobile Suit! The ‘Father’ of all Gundams as some might describe. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a RX-78 model and I chose Ver. Ka just because of the decals. Though this is an MG kit, it feels though as I am assembling an HG kit while putting together some parts, though some parts are well detailed as expected in MG kits.

My History with Gunpla

Published on April 5, 2013March 28, 2014 by darkandchoco/暗いとチョコ3 Comments

Hi, I just wanted to share how my Gunpla passion started. Back in the 90’s when I was a few years old (around 10 years old I estimate), I already loved building or assembling things. I enjoyed Legos, they were one of my first toys that I truly enjoyed aside from miniature die cast metal toy cars and Power Rangers transformable robots like the Megazord. Legos are one of the best toys a kid could have in my opinion because it can develop creativity and imagination but they are expensive in my country, yet they were the catalyst in developing my desire to build and assemble structures.

HG 1/144 ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5 [Hrairoo] Titans Prototype Mobile Suit

Hi viewers! Time for to show one of my latest work! Actually I have finished this guy long before I finished the Sinanju KO kit. My initial photos were crappy so I had to redo them. This kit is pretty interesting! He can transform into a mobile armor just like Rezel and other MS like them. Continue reading “HG 1/144 ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5 [Hrairoo] Titans Prototype Mobile Suit” →

MG 1/100 Sinanju full painted build WIP

Published on March 13, 2013March 28, 2014 by darkandchoco/暗いとチョコ4 Comments

Hi guys! I’m done with a recent gunpla project but still lazy to take a photoshoot, maybe during the weekend? I’m excited to show him to you guys! Anyway for now, I’m working on Sinanju! But take note that this Sinanju is actually a KO kit by GaoGao/TT HongLi, not an original Bandai. Buy why you say? Well it’s because I wanted to practice first on a KO kit and have it all painted before going into battle with an original Sinanju kit! I would want my Bandai Sinanju to be perfect! XD So far I’m almost done with the body and head, just some minor paint adjustments and polishing to do. Continue reading “MG 1/100 Sinanju full painted build WIP” →

HG 1/144 Gafran Photoshoot

Published on February 6, 2013March 28, 2014 by darkandchoco/暗いとチョコ2 Comments

Hi guys! I shot a few photos of Gafran using white background again just like before. Somehow, I like the white background better than all of the colors I’ve tried, I feel refreshed and clean when looking at my photos where I used a white background. =3 And because I wasn’t satisfied with my Gafran review photos, I redid some poses using the white background and optimized my camera settings. 🙂
