OhGeek Last Week

 


I've started drawing a new sticker this week, this time its an SD version of G1 Optimus Prime. This will be released on my Shopee store as a waterproof sticker and as various merch on Red Bubble. 

Gosh I really wish I could draw faster.


Here's Shoto from the Amazing Yamaguchi MHA line. I used him to test my new backdrop. I've been playing with my phone's camera and I figured that it will be good enough for what I want to do with my toy photography.


The RXS-078! Its a knock off of the original toy but it's a really fun figure to have around if you're a Gundam fan like me.


One of my son's friends asked me to hold onto his Hotwheels while they were playing in the park and this one looked really nice.


We often go to the arcade to play with the claw machines after Church and I think this maybe our 4th or 5th stuffed toy. Its one of our small rituals, the kind of stuff I know I'd miss when Ri grows up and moves on to other things.

Not a lot of people know this but I am an extremely introverted person. I don't really talk to people and the few people I talk to outside of my family, friends and peers I do so because they talked to me first. Most people mistake me as being extroverted, but that's just because I'm very comfortable with them. Place me in a situation where there are people I barely know and I have to interact with them and you'll see me clam up real quick.

I used to not be bothered as much, heck, I went to a gym for almost 7 years and only talked to maybe 3 or 4 people. It's just that my son is at an age where he is starting to play with other kids at the park and I'm in an awkward position where I get to meet other parents and I don't know if I should talk to them since my kid plays with theirs... I'm not good at this, contrary to what other people think haha! But I don't get paralyzed by this though, it's not something that stops me from doing what I need to do its just that I've started paying more attention to how I feel about stuff and I'm so surprised at how much of an introvert I really am.

MG Shenlong Gundam

Image
The MG Shenlong is my 3rd MG build and I am beginning to really appreciate this line of kits. I am primarily a 1/144 scale builder because I like how compact the kits are and somehow, at the back of my mind, whenever I am working on something that's taller than 8 inches, I feel like I am working on a toy.  Specifically a doll is what I see in my hands, instead of a model kit. The size just bugs me... it feels really really big. However, having painted the MG Strike Noir and the MG Deathschyte, I feel like the MG's are growing on me and for obvious reasons. For starters, I find them easier to build. Compared to HGs, they have very few seams to cover and since almost all the parts are molded in color I do not have need to mask as much as I need to do with HGs and older kits. I hate masking, I would rather hand-brush a large area than spend time cutting masking tape and aligning them. When I was younger it was fun, now I see as a waste ...

Mechanical Chain Base

Image
I got this mechanical chain base more than a year ago but only got around to painting it about the middle of the year. I love the idea of having a hangar for my 1/144s because it serves as a nice backdrop for a photo shoot and it somewhat fills in this craving of mine to make an actual diorama with my kits. I primed this with Bosny Primer Gray, it cost Php90.00  or around $2 here in the Philippines and it's been my primer of choice for more than 3 years and it works really really well with both hand-brushing and spray painting. I weathered this one using cheap artist's oil paints and added the panel lines using a Gundam marker. The decals I got from a Bandai Decal Sheet that a friend gave me. Weathering didn't make much time as I just aimed to add color variations and to just make the whole thing grimy. I love this small truck think, its very basic but adds a nice focal point to the base. And here it is with my 1/144 Gaia that I f...

Gunpla Tutorial: Surface Preparation and Taking Care of Seams and Nub Marks

Image
Here is the second part of my tutorial on how I build my Gunpla. Before we go any further, I'd like to apologize because I was not able to take as much photos as I needed to make what I wanted to show you guys as clear as possible. Noob mistake, I'll do better next time :) Here we see a sample of the snap fit for the kit. Before I go about finishing up the kit I make sure that I do a complete build first to determine the areas that I need to fix and the areas that will not be seen. I do not work on hidden areas because I think that's wasted time and effort and instead I concentrate on the surfaces that will be seen. You may notice from this build of the torso that there are a lot of nub marks. That's ok, we really do not need to be clean here, we just have to check if the kit builds well. (I forgot to take a photo of the whole kit, sorry!) Here's an example of a nub mark. After determining that this part will be exposed when I first made a full buil...
