Oh man, just received sad sad news that Plamo Forum is closing down.... Well being April Fool's day I'm sure everyone hopes it is just a joke.

However, on a serious note, if it is for real, totally respect Mr Max's decision and instead of feeling sad, we should look back and celebrate the good times we had and the tons of knowledge we gained in this journey... New friends were found and old friends became closer....

Everything has to come to an end, thank you Max and the admins for making what Plamo is today and the help it has given to the Modeling community. 3 Cheers to Plamo....=)
Happy Birthday to me. Just like to thank my friends for spending it with me and even gotten me a kit for my big day. Thank you everyone and also the guys at Plamo for the wonderful greetings!!! Great birthday. Hope I can improve my skill level and win something this year... Thanks everyone!!!=)

Tieren Space-type (Part 2)

Phew, finally did up the chest part and the sides. Applied an almost similar presentation as my Nu Gundam.... As I mentioned earlier, I wanted an "exposed" look to my Tieren. So here we go then...

Here we have the main chest piece. (From previous post)

Originally it was just a plain simple block of emptiness, so to spice things up I used a combination of Tamiya and Evergreen pla plates. The "wrapping" technique was used here, haha... Further details were added using Koto and wave option parts. A piece of Hobbymate PE was added to further enhance the look....

On the top I added 2 copper wires just to make it look busy.... Boy this fella is really lacking detail......
Ok mounted the chest piece to the main body....



Here's a look at the sides.... Once again same ingredients were used to enhance the plainess of the parts...

Here's a view from the front
And the Back as well

And finally this the progress thus far into this build....

(Nu Gundam makes a cameo at the back, haha....)
Well that's all for now, will be moving on to the arms next then.... As always C&C is more than welcome! Hope you enjoyed this update!=)

HG Space Tieren

Woah, haven't been updating anything for the past few months.... Well, burn out plus ICT doesn't really help.

Anyways, after a refreshing trip back from Ipoh, decided to do a kit for Gundam OO Mid year competition..... As of last year, I'll build a tieren again, but a space type one so hopefully this one can finish in time to become my first finished kit of 2009!!! Erm.... Just in case anyone is wondering where the Nu Gundam gone to, it is still alive, so don't worry, haha.....

Without further ado, LET'S GOOOOOOOO....

Actually nothing much to show really. Started off with the shoulders, with some glaring Seamlines, I used Koto parts as well as brass wires, Tamiya and Evergreen Plaplates and also Hobby Mate photo etch to detail the shoulders up.....


Here we have the Original and the After Mod in it's early stages

same stage from different angle

This one is after I have added everything else

Final modd, Different angle

And this is how it looks like on the Space Tieren

A Close up

Intially, I was afraid that I "over-done" the modding, but once the primer is up, I was quite happy with the results. Hope everyone else enjoys it too!!!!

Till the next W.I.P, CYA!!!=)
