1/144 HGUC Dreissen : Heavy Lifter Custom

After a very long lay-off on Gunpla due to burn out or have been busy doing other builds... finally a Gundam Build.

It really feels good to get back at it again after that disaster of a Tieren (Epic Fail) I made a few years back that was done in low quality industrial spray cans, the only available materials here and may have contributed to my hesitation on doing Gunpla again.

Now that I have with me some of my AB kits, a portable compressor (low PSI, but at least I have control) and a few hobby paints this is as good as I can get away with what I have. This build was done in a breeze on and off for 2 hours ++ in a 2 weeks span, modified to fit a series of construction mechs I'm planning to build and this will be my test build. I also have a new toy to play with and help me out on this work, a Makerbot replicator 2 3D printer.

Less talk... here are the photos and I hope it's enough to explain what I have done ( the Crane Rig, Container and Mounts including the Claws are the parts I designed and 3D Printed ).

 

1/100 MG Zaku I : IMPERIAL GUARD CUSTOM

Here is another custom I did on my favorite monoeyed Mech the ZAKU.

GUNCANNON WORKER UNIT

My very First post!!!!!

Well I'm in the blogsphere now so to speak and from now on I will be able to share my works and some from my workbench.... I will start with a post of my favorite monoeye that got me started in gunpla and modeling back in 2004. It is a modified MG 1/100 Zaku that i happen to salvage from scraps... and from there what's next is history.

I started to modify the zaku using what i have, back then there was little background or i was not yet well informed of the techniques or this or that, but i manage to pull it together using scraps from G.I. joe parts, legos, pen caps, zoids parts... as in anything i can get to make the design work, and i also made him a base, this was my entry in the nationals in 2004 and also among the regionals representative in Hong Kong. This is what got me started and got me where i am to date.....

My apologies for the blurry photos.. this was taken way back in 2004. eheheheh

here it is.......

Hope you guys like it!

Till next post!
