Gaplant WIP 2

School's started for me so I've been quite busy as it's my last year in high school and I've become a leader in my school's Japan club. I'm in charge of sushi sales apparently. Anyways, onto the work. The binders above have been plated and sanded a bit. I'm going to add a few more plates and I'll be done with these mods and head onto panel line scribing. I'm trying to get this whole project done before the end of the month so I don't plan on making things get too complicated. This project will be entered  into a local plastic model show. In fact, it's the biggest plastic model event here in Vancouver.

Plated it to cover up some exposed polycaps.

Filled in the hollow section, pretty standard mod.

Thighs sanded and ready for primer.

The base for my diorama.

Gaplant WIP 1

The two GMs have been built and the command type has surprisingly good legs. I've revised the diorama and decided to add a Gaplant. I bought it at Imperial Hobby this weekend while I was putting my Zaku III in the display case. I was surprised with a huge crowd of people and giant signs that said "25th Anniversary". Surely enough, there was a 25% off everything sale so I decided to get something I've been thinking about for a while. Thus I revised my diorama plans with this kit.

Hobby Shops in Sapporo

While I was staying in Sapporo, I did go around looking for models. I obtained my HGUC GM and GM Command Space Type from Yodobashi Camera. The store is located right next to the main transit station "Sapporo Station". This station is a terminal for the subway and the train systems and is basically considered the centre of the city. Stupid me didn't take pictures of the inside of the store, so I will try to explain it to the best of my ability.

Zaku III Photoshoot

Finally got the supplies to make the photoshoot. This is my first time trying this so the images aren't exactly as professional as other modelers, but I'll get there.

Next Project

My next project is going to hopefully be a diorama featuring the HGUC GM Command Space Type and the HGUC GM. It's going to be based on one of the scenes in the Gundam Senki 0081 OVA. With all the resupply cables still attached to the units after the ship was destroyed and the two half-destroyed mobile suits holding hands. For those who have never seen the OVA, it can be found here.
