Spiderman kit modeled by NOYSAN

Sleepless night for me as I was excited to tell my wife some good news. Anyways I just woke up and saw yet another stunning resin kit masterpiece at MAC forums.



I have here a beautifully air brushed resin kit of Spiderman modeled by new MAC forums member NOYSAN. Noysan's shading on both the blue and red areas of the costume is spot on and it gave the kit much more volume and muscle tone. Great job on the kit and very good photography too!

SD Sazabi modeled by CRYONIC

 

I am proud to present a hand painted work from MAC forums Filipino modeler CRYONIC. Cryonic keeps on sharing great works in our forums and I almost never fail to notice them.



I love all the modifications so much as it complimented the kit very much. The mods are also nice and clean and the painting is really good specially for a hand brushed kit! Painted with Citadels, Cryonic pulled off a masterpiece of a build with this little piece of mecha art!

2012 Mecha Contest WIP - initial mods

Started a little bit of work on my 2012 Mecha Contest entry for the modified plastic category earlier today. Not much progress actually. I stripped the PG Aile Strike of it's precious 30th anniversary clear armor parts and started with the basic shapes of the chest and as usual the crotch.



I also started a bit of work on the huge weapon which was made of 1.2 mm pla plates, 8mm clear plastic rod and a 5mm plastic rod. I basically need to scratch built huge armor pieces and sort of design my own. Scratch building on the fly without much reference adds to the challenge and the fun of this project. I hope I can pull it off. Needless to say I only plan to use the internals of the perfect grade kit and will not use any of it's armors. Maybe I will end up with a naked kit. lol



Anyways here are photos of the initial mods...

PG RX-78-2 modeled by SLIVER

I have been away in the forums for a couple of days, and that feels like a couple of weeks at MAC forums as people ( members ) keep on pouring great stuff both in the work in progress threads and the completed section threads.



I have here today a masterpiece by MAC forums member SLIVER. Sliver did a great job on this old perfect grade RX-78-2 Gundam kit. He added subtle modifications that complimented the overall look of the kit and his painting is topnotch flawless work. He painted this masterpiece with Industrial grade spray cans but he used it so well producing such a good finish.



Anyways, gazillion photos of this build at MAC forums as usual. Here is the link guys...

G-SHOT 2011 Best Straight Build WINNER!

 Although I was a bit late announcing this winner. I believe everyone knows it by now through GG. :)

The winner of this G-SHOT 2011 Straight Build Category is Henry Feng with his striking MG Sandrock build! Henry will be receiving a 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Banshee ( destroy mode and Unicorn mode ), 5 random Gundam markers and a 10$ GG Infinite coupon all sponsored by team Gundam Guy!

The photography is nice, simple and straight to the point! Nothing fancy
with the pose either but the build itself is undoubtedly a very good
straight build.

The color tones are very nice and somewhat
unique. Finishing looks flawless from the photography and the decal work
is pro level stuff. Clean, precise and stunning at the same time. Great
stuff that deserves the win.

custom RG Aile Strike Gundam by seven6398

Just got home from work and just wanted to share something good from our forums. Another really good Real Grade kit this time by MAC forums member seven6398.



I really like the custom color scheme as it looks fresh on the Aile Strike Gundam. The gold parts are a nice touch and it sort of gave the kit a more complex look. Panel lines and decal work are very well done and the presentation is very well executed. Nice action poses too!



A ton more photos and discussion of this build at our MAC forums. Here is the link guys...

G-System 1/72 RX-93 HI-NU by Matt Tomczek

 

Just want to share that my good friend and Mech Arts Community ( MAC ) Forums VIP member MATT TOMCZEK, has just finished another resin G-System masterpiece!



I present to you today a masterfully crafted and painted G-System 1/72 RX-93 HI-NU. This is yet another commission work and was mostly painted with Mr.Hobby lacquers. Aside from the obvious fact that Matt's painting and finishing is humanly impossible. Matt Tomczek has a very good eye for great color schemes and has always amazed me with his color scheme selections.

my 2012 Mecha Contest Entry Pass!

It was a bit of a hassle getting the box as it is at the bottom of a 5 foot stack of MG boxes. But I should follow the rule.



Anyways my entry for our 2012 Mecha Contest at Mech Arts Community ( MAC ) forums will be my Perfect Grade Aile Strike Gundam clear version.I will be entering in the modified plastic category.I got challenged by my good friend Kenny Lim aka TOYMAKER as he will be using a PG Aile Strike Gundam as entry for the modified plastic category as well.



This was a gift from my friends from Singapore who came over in last year's MAC forums anniversary. Again special thanks to Joyce of HAG ( Hobby Art Gallery ) for this generous gift! Now I get to use it for a contest.



Basically to save the precious clear armors, I will be stripping / removing this kit of it's armors and will be trying to scratch built custom armor parts of my own design. I collected various concept robot artworks for my inspiration for this project yesterday. Wish me luck guys!

I have yet to submit my ENTRY PASS for the 2012 Mecha Contest at Mech Arts Community  ( MAC )Forums. But I brought my entry kit here in the office and and is starting to brain storm some designs with the help of robot artworks I took from concept robots.blogspot.com.



I will keep it as a surprise for now on what kit I will be working on. But me joining our own contest is just a call to the ( friendly ) challenge  of Kenny Lim aka Toymaker as he just submitted his entry pass yesterday.



My 2012 Mecha Contest entry is going to be sort of a Toymaker versus DC23 part 2! Anyways, I figured I'd share to you my great concept robot finds earlier today. This post will serve as my quick reference as I work on my project soon.



Needless to say, I vow to beat Kenny this time around! lol
