Weathered OR Clean for my PG SF???

I am having second thoughts on the eventual finishing of my OLD Boys GB project if I will do a clean build or a weathered build due to Mr.Gav's WIP photos of his PG RX build.

Unlike Mr.Gav of Gavin Lee Manners, I very seldom do clean builds. I think I only have a couple of clean builds which are my MG Acguy and my commissioned work RG Aile Strike Gundam. I originally wanted to finish my PG SF clean... but as I've said Mr.Gav's work on his PG RX is poison!!! Great stuff as always and I am looking forward to the completed build!

I am as always leaning towards weathering my PG... I just think it will blend better on my diorama. I just can't make up my mind. Oh well... will see sooner than later. Will work on the diorama this weekend as I am itchy to weather and hand paint all of sudden.

Do check out Mr.Gav at his website at Gavin Lee Manners and also check his new account at Instagram...

Full Scratch Built Mecha modeling by Mark Bersolaphoto

Just had to share this monster of a build!

Pardon the quality of the photos guys. The photos were taken during our most recent meet-up last weekend. We just had to have a Gunpla meet-up to make the creative juice flowing before GBWC. Lots of people brought Bandai kits during the meet-up and obviously this build by Mark Bersola stood out!

This is a fully scrap ( not scratch ) build by fellow Filipino modeler Mark Bersola! A young stud in our local Gunpla community. These younger guys are way too talented for us old guys ( lol ). He mixed some household materials, SD Kshatriya parts and other normal day materials to come up with this behemoth of a kit! The rounded parts are the most impressive as it required puttying and lots of sanding.

What I love about the build is the design itself! It looks very complicated yet does not look overly done! Design elements are well thought of and well integrated into each other. This build is very complex yet does not qualify as "cluster-fuk". Great stuff by Mark Bersola.

The build needs a bit of clean up before painting and will sure look awesome once it is! Hope to see this behemoth after Mark adds more detailing to the build.

Hope you like this post!? Until next post guys. Just enjoy this great hobby! :)
