My latest build. A 1/144 HG00 Throne Drei. I was able to finish it after two weeks of cramming to be able to join the Mechapinoy TBIB In-house Competition. Modifications done were extending the neck and waist joints. I also added panel lines and rivet holes as additional details. I also changed the color scheme a bit to give it a little flair.

Its a relief that we were given another week to finish our entries. It gave me more time to finish and be a little bit more meticulous. Im just waiting for the other parts to cure from the final flat coat and its all done. :)

Painted all the system injected parts and metallics.

Started painting and masking. White parts painted, also did a coat of gloss black as prep for the metallics later.

Just a small update, primed the whole kit.

Another pre-paint modification for the wings.

I also extended the upper body by 2mm, and the neck by 1mm.

Added panel lines and rivet holes for additional detail.

Filled the hollow parts with epoxy putty, then added rivet holes as details.

Back with a new and rush project. Must be able to finish this build within a week for our local compe. So far I have no clear idea what to do with it, maybe I'll just detail it up a bit and adjust the proportion according to my preference like most of my builds.

To save time and avoid masking as much as possible I did some pre-painting modifications, which is pretty basic just by cutting some pegs here and there so I will be able to to slide the parts after painting.

1. Head assembly

2. Thigh assembly

Here's my HGUC Asshimar with an AOZ theme. I only changed a few things and added details here and there, which is not very obvious and just to be a little different compared to the stock or OOTB form. This build was actually inspired by Eday's Asshimar. I was impressed by the way he detailed and modified it.

At last, I was able to finish painting, washing and detailing.

AOZ decals was also applied to match the color scheme.

Now working on a side project, since painting the Asshimar was delayed due to the power interruptions in our area a couple of days ago. Here are some of the preps Ive done.

Pre paint mods on the shoulders.

Carved the sides of the torso and made the seam lines look like a natural groove on the kit.

Also scribed panel lines on the thighs (also on the arms) so it will look uniform with the seam since Im not planning to seal it.

Made some simple cuts on the legs to avoid masking. Will just have to slide the gray part after painting.

Detailed the crotch portion using plates and scraps of wires, too bad it wont be that visible after painting and assembly. Will also put O-bolts later.

I also managed to modify the riffle a bit, building a scope and integrating some details into it.

Most of the parts were primed to check for errors and sanded again. Hopefully this time there would be no sand marks or glue marks left.
