Following the completion of my Gouf ignited I set about another mono eye ^^. One of the very interesting designs that I like. Can’t say no to another monoeye! My gundams need more enemy forces to play with 😀 This however will be purely an out of box build with gundam markers! Need to destress!!!
First up some panel lines….
Usually for pipes, I will use this instead of my regular sakura micron pen.
Just spam black ink all over…
And after cleaning up with tissue ^^
For the pipes, I used gundam gold markers. Works much better than using yellow or red.
Argh spillage!! Need my art knife
I used my art knife and slowly scrape over the excess paint
Yeah all cleaned up ^^
I used the dark grey and metallic red gundam markers to paint all the little details. Minimum painting, maximum details!
As for nub removal, I first cut off from the parts from the tree leaving a bit of excess plastic.
Cut closely to the part leaving a bit of the nub.
After using the art knife to scrap off the remaining nubs. Nice and clean
Surprisingly I don’t think I’ll need to build the bottom half of this kit
….

Lol! Look at those arms! Don’t know any other kit that has arms like these besides Shenlong Gundam from Gundam Wing, surprisingly stable too!
And for the last picture…
Happy Halloween!
Till the next post!
congrats for your new gunpla !! happy haloween too ^_^
Thanks ^^. Happy Halloween too! By the way I created a banner for Marrz already, maybe you can used this one that I have for the time being 😀
which banner ??
Erh the reddish one with strike noir under my blogroll ^^
yes I see thank’s
uhh…. i can’t see the nub work
Nub mark you mean ^^ lol. Maybe the pictures too dark for that piece. Will brighten it up next time.
I personally feel that Zeon mobile suits design are a little…. Weird, you know? The only ones i liked are gouf, zaku, gelgoog and Sazabi, the rest…well… This is from the war in the pocket series right?
If I am not mistaken this is from 0083 series if my memory is serving me well! Gouf and Zakus are probably the more popular ones I guess ^^. For some reasons I can imagine a lots of posing with this guys claws 😀 Gives that organic vibe.
lol.. nice.. yes! small kits are meant for destressing.. XD like wad you did with the details.. always makes it a grade higher when applied.. =D good tutorial too.. i’ll jus direct pple to your site. LOL. i always forget to take photo of in-progess. aha.
happy halloween. m(;,,;)m
ren.
haha thanks dude ^^. Actually not really tutorial, just share some small tips here and there so hopefully other ppl can find it useful. Similiar to your build on your enact 😀 its quite a nice break from big projects. Maybe you can start taking your wips for your next build 😀
Happy halloween to ya too!
woo.. thats some interesting mono-eye ms design.. to be honest I not really knowing those Zeon/Orang Jahat (XD) ms suit than gundams lol.. hell I think I didnt know more than Half >__<;;;
Yhanks! Its from the UC era. In fact I loved the designs from those times! Haha thats why its good I put up more monoeye mechs and introduce to the online community ^^
Interesting.. You seem to like alot of mono-eyed ms xD I only have 2 mono-eyed ms so my gundams are low on enemies ahhahaha maybe I should get a few more zeon mobile suits LOL
Haha now that you mentioned it, seems like it! Kind of itching for a change from main hero mechs at the moment! What you plan to get? Lets start building a mono eye army. 😀
I always wanted to get the MG Gouf 2.0 and MG Sazabi but that’s for another time I guess. Bought so many gundam kits this year @_@ money tarus bye bye hahaha. I’ll only buy the Sazabi if I get a Nu to partner it up so yeah LOL Wish they made a ver 2.0 of both of those xD
Oo I forgot to add that I also plan to get all of char’s mobile suits in the future except for Zeong. That one’s just too plain..ugly for my liking hahahah
Char FTW!
@ Marzz Sieg Zeon!
@ eighteleven Haha actually Zeong is quite an interesting mech ^^ If you can look for the HGUC version of sazabi and nu gundam, they are much more value for money compared with their MG counter parts. Plus they have superb details and articulation!
From 0083? Really? I don’t remember Stardust Memory has any aqua mobile suits. I went to see the first ep of 0080, and yea, this was in it. War in the pocket.
Ah you are right! 😀 Its from 0080 ^^ opening scene! Thanks!
strange mobile suit design! nice work on the details ^^ haha he really does look complete without the lower body XD kinda like the machines in Metal Gear 4.
Lol now that you mentioned it, it does look like MGS4 mechs (apart from the cow screaming noises it makes when raiden slices em lol ^^). I am kind of moving away from good guys these few days….
As a fan of 0080 and funky suits like this and the kampfer, I’m excited to see this. I normally only work on 1/100s, but it looks like I’m going to start breaking in to the 1/144 line since it’s got such a splendid variety!
Haha hi five dude! Glad to find another moneeye lover ^^ Haha looking forward to your first 1/144 kit. The HGUC lines are pretty awesome when it comes to zeon units! I am looking forward to next year’s geara zulu from gundam unicorn 😀
hygogg!!! Where can I get this model?
Oh I got the Hygogg at hobby point Kovan ^^. They do have quite a fair bit of zeon HGUC!
hm…will try to take a look there
thx for the info
haha that last pic is really cool! cant believe im just finding your blog now!
Heh thanks!! Haha well you aren’t too late 😛
