Tieren (Part VI)

Ok, time for another UPDATE!!!!

It is now into the painting stages. Chosen red as my preferred colour. Yes I can hear the masses going," oh com'on, not another red one....." or "can't you think of something more original??" Well, I have never done a red colour MS before, so I thought this would be a nice opportunity to try it.=)

My base was primed with Grey, shaded with one layer black and one layer red brown. 2 reds were mixed as I wanted some contrast ie, some parts of the Tieren will have a lighter shade of red while others get darker. I also took a gamble by having some details painted in Gold....

Dark red is basically a mix of Red + Red Brown + Black
Light red is Above mixture + White + Florocent Pink + Orange
Gold is Gaia Bright Gold + Clear Orange


Spraying this kit can really be a pain, especially the masking... Gosh my precious masking tape.... Well, no pain no gain I suppose....

Sample of mask spraying gold to arm part.

Overall, the painting came out great, well at least that was how I saw it. Decided not to add decals to this fella, IMO it is war machine not an F1 car... haha..... Almost to the finish line le, and ahead of time!!! YAHOOO.... As always C&C pls pls pls... Thanks for viewing!!!=)

Tieren (Update Part V)

Nothing really much this time round, Just a quick and short update on the weapons that I'll be armour this big boy with....=)

Firstly is the Melee weapon. My weapon of choice is an axe, courtesy of, you got it, Kotobukiya.... Haha... Nice design and in my opinion suits this fella in every way....

Then we go on to the range weapon. Here in used parts from the Tieren's machine gun and place them on that 4 barrel thingy on the other arm.... Drilled some holes here and there and Ta-Da....

Tieren PART IV!!!(Update 11/04/09)

Hi all, being quite awhile since the last update I think, so today, I present to you the sexy legs to go together with the fierce groin, haha....

First let's take a look at the before picture of the leg....

Not very interesting huh? And I know A LOT OF PEOPLE have issues with the 2 tubes in front, so that will really be a task to challenge me for awhile......

SO as always, I think everyone who has ever read this boring blog should know, I using Koto and Wave option parts to enhance the appearance and also pla plate from Tamiya and Evergreen to detail up other areas.

Drilled several 1mm holes around to give it a more mecha look. I sawed off the tubes in front and covered up with pla plate followed by Koto parts to enhance look....

As for the back of the legs, I sawed off the ermmm... foot guard from my GM Quel and placed on this fella, looks ok to me at least..... haha.....

Top and bottom on...


Yup that is all for now, damn bloody burnt out from the legs.... Argh, this kit's legs are full of F&^&^%^king seamlines...... Next up will be the back pack and weapons before starting the painting process..... Dateline is coming, HELP MEEEE!!!!!!

Well, please C&C as usual, I I'll update as soon as I have something to update.... haha.... Thanks for viewing!!=)

Tieren UPDATED!!!(04/04/09)

Well, after the Plamo scare, it is time to get back to work.... Just got word that the submission date is 15th May 2009. What the F^*&*((K is Sheng Tai thinking.... Well done....

Anyways, instead of blaming them, I suppose it will be better to use the energy to finish up my kit....

The last time we left off with the chest area.... sooooo today I'll present a special double, haha.... Done up the arms and the Groin or KKJ area.... Haha...=P

Ok This big boy looked like this the last time round...
So today we do the arms first.....

Once again my best friends Evergreen and Tamiya assisted me with the pla plates necessary to detail up. Pla rods were used as well. drilled a few little holes here and there and finished off with scribing of panel lines on the arms... Simple little detailing that took me a long time as I had to ensure both sides looked the same...Phew...=)

Arms ON!


Next the groin area.

Very simple details as well here. First time using G-temple stuff and to be honest, they look really good!! The two fangs on the KKJ(WTF) are 1.0mm pla plates and once again, the entire groin is detailed up with Koto, Wave, Hobbymate PE and G-temple parts. PHEW....=)

Groin 0r KKJ area...
Nice round...... ass?
Top and bottom ON!!!


Overall, still quite happy at the direction this big boy is going, only thing is to rush for the dateline.... Argh..... Next is of cause the legs. This should be interesting.....

Recently posted this W.I.P on facebook, let others know what I do for hobby and it is no play play one, haha.... Hope it can open others eyes and answer some of their question like,"Why you do one model alwyas take so long one huh...?" Ya so this is why......

As always C&C more than welcome. Hope you fella enjoy viewing as much as I had enjoyed build this kit. Till next time!=)

Oh and in case anyone is wondering, the Plamo closure news turns out to be an April Fooll's joke, just as I thought.....
