1/350 JMSDF DDG-174 Kirishima WIP 3

Third WIP...

-Building the radar tower

-Adding more details to the super structures

-Main hull gap cleaning.

-Crushing the main bridge

-Breaking the radar tower

Parts for the radar tower... (getting smaller and smaller...)

Instructions...

Radar tower done... took a whole hour to get everything right...

Here's a little sneak peek at what I'm planning...

First super structure - more details... torpedo tubes, radar dishes, AA Guns, more radar things, more smaller torpedo tubes...

AA Guns and radar towers...

Torpedo tubes... I just don't know if the way it's placed is right... I did follow the instructions but the placing of those tubes is suicidal... it's gonna hit the main deck if it's gonna fire towards the water...
 (or do they fire upwards like a mortar???)

Bridge done (without the two AA Guns at the roof...), note the very very small torpedo(?) tubes below... took me another hour since they keep falling to the floor and I have to find them...

Second superstructure details... AA Gun, Radar dishes, and more terraces.

Another peek at my workspace... (my bed unseen at the left is filled with model kit boxes... just like old times... where I sleep mostly with my projects...)

Detail Shots...

If you see that line between the main hull and the above superstructure, that line shouldn't be there.
That's supposed to be a continuous surface... The super structure (above) is lacking in width...

So I placed three more plastic tubes underneath the superstructure to push the left and right edges out a little bit... with super glue...

A little better... It just needs a few cleaning next time... maybe more talcum powder then a lot of sanding...

I also cleaned up the main deck from gaps and uneven edges using talcum powder...

Evangelion Unit-02 test fit...

I'll work out a better pose next time...

Crushing the main bridge...

I cut a few parts of the radar tower, then dipped it into a glass of boiling water, then bent it... and comes to that...

More work on the crushing... I did want to show broken pieces of the bridge so I took care of the windows leaving most of them intact but flattened, rather than just crushing and melting them all over the place...

Anyways... The Crushing needs a bit more work... here's another shot...

About 60% done... I just need to cement the Superstructures in place, add more details to the hull, then paint... then apply decals... then do EVA-02... then do the base...

And since it's about EVA-02...

I think I should dedicate a post for Asuka cosplay... hmmm...

Ja!!!

MG 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam WIP 7

So here's the last WIP post for my Aile Strike Gundam Custom...

Making the custom base/stand... (worked on and off for about 3 weeks at the most...)

More Chamaro

So here's yet another Chamaro cosplay random thought post... because this blog's been stagnant for two weeks already... (but I will be posting a few good updates soon...)

Chamaro as Haruhi Suzumiya from the Anime series The Melancholy of Harumi Suzumiya... I haven't seen the series yet but I think I'll pass for now...

I'm currently watching the live drama series of Honey and Clover though I'm three episodes short... and also the movie which was released earlier than the drama series...

Photos by Bixtuke who has a blog here (http://bixtuke.exblog.jp/) in Japanese... awesome photography of other cosplayers and anime figures and such...

I just found these three awesomely hot images from the net... and I think this blog have lacked a few eye candies lately...

MG 1/100 AEUG MSA-003 Nemo

 And here's the last of the three Mass produced Unit model review...

Save the best for last...

The Anti Earth Union Group MSA-003 Nemo

MG 1/100 EFSF RGM-79 TYPE C

So here's the second of the three Mass Produced Unit Hauls.

There is a red version of this, considered as a Space Type, (which I wanted to get but isn't available at the moment...) so I guess this blue one is a ground type...

The RGM-79 Type C ... might be also known as the GM Kai or Ver. ka...
