Gundam Epyon Ver. S.X.2,Wyvert Basilisk

Over 4 months in the making,and i have finally completed the gundam epyon.It was a tough and long journey,without the people who have supported me along the way,I may not have been able to finish this.So I really want to give my thanks to them,to those who have motivated me and kept me going.Thank you!

It was a big project,bigger than my last one,more mods and more parts.I originally wanted to enter this into a competition last year together with my deathscythe hell,but there wasn't enough time.Anyway,let me present Gundam Epyon Ver S.X.2,Wyvert Basilisk.

Also feel free to check out my blog for work in progress posts of this model. http://sx2gundam.blogspot.com/2011/08/mg-gundam-epyon-5-headed-dragon-wip.html

There have been so many times when i wanted to stop this project.There were just too many ideas for this and i didn't have the time to execute them properly.

I will still be making a diorama and continuing the wip for this in the near future but instead of pantheon diorama,i think a volcano diorama will suit this model better.

For my next project,the most important thing is not to rush,i tend to rush things and make mistakes and get demoralise,so it's really crucial to give myself ample time to get everything right.I will be making MG gundam heavyarms next,and i will emphasize on kit bushing and pla plate scratch building.It should be an interesting build for me and i hope i can make it into an impressive model...

Check out my new project's wip,full armor gundam heavyarms igel.I will be using parts from full armor unicorn gundam and scratchbuilding gundam heavyarms igel's parts,so it should be an exciting build!And here is the WIP for it, http://sx2gundam.blogspot.com/2012/04/full-armor-gundam-heavyarms-igel-wip.html Cya there!

MG Kampfer(Completed)

I have finally finished the MG Kampfer for the "Universal Century vs Alternate Universe" group build on Gundam Eclipse forum and i'm so glad that i managed to finish it before the dateline.MG Kampfer is an awesome kit,the design looks cool and it has tons of weapons.My only problem was its frame,since it uses an older frame design some of the joints weren't very strong which make posing it a challenge. My original concept for this model is to make it into a machine that have gone through many battles,however i wasn't able to completely stick to that idea.

I've made 2 mistakes during the work process,the first mistake lies with the damages i've added.It wasn't enough nor sever enough to give the impression of a war machine.Aside from adding more big slash marks,burn holes and bullet holes,i also should have added some cast iron effect on the kit.

Secondly,i've overlooked the importance of "washing" during the weathering process.The washing technique is very crucial if you want a nice weathered kit,because if done correctly it helps to show the age of the machine,by introducing rust and other weather elements to the kit,just like a real old machine would have.I skipped this step because to prepare for the washing process,another clear coat must be added after panel lining to seal the panel lines.However,the weather was bad and i couldn't spray that layer of clear coat in time.I thought i can achieve the same effect by using pastel but i was wrong,it was really a shame.

Although i wished that i could have avoided these mistakes,i am still very proud of this.Everytime i finish a kit,i always get this "wow" feeling,i'm sure some or all of you will understand this.Maybe its because of the effort i've put into the kits or maybe its just how different the kit look after it has been painted.I hope you guys like this kit as much as i do and i can't wait to get back to my Epyon gundam.Cheers:)
