My choice of KIT!

I finally have my GRUNT choice! It’s not Powered GM Cardigan nor RGM-96X Jesta Cannon! The kit manufactured way back Bandai 2006 Japan – RGM-79FP GM STRIKER! I bought this kit at online local business ‘Tiny Station’ do visit their Facebook page. They sell quite few Gundam kits and price wise is good!

E.F.S.F MASS PRODUCTIVE CLOSE COMBAT

I really love the details on this kit, sort of bulky and full armour Gundam with a unique touch of weapon beams. I’m not a fan of the colour scheme there, most likely change the colour. I’m going for Gray scale tone colour (maybe) that suits the theme (Dessert combat). That’s my plan so far, but I’m currently just a basic straight build, remove any nubs and seam lines as well (its gona be my first experiment removing seam line invisible!) [break a leg]. I bought Tamiya Putty and Tamiya Cement the other day from Guan Hock Lee Hobby Store(Tungku Link). I will do it slowly, steadily and patiently as possible (although I hate slow “WIP” but ‘as patient you can be, at the end result is worth paying for’). I just hope I don’t do it rush, the competition is around December, I may have more time to do it but I’m planning to make Diorama too haha (beginner like me is uncanny). Something I never imagine to go for it, let see how far I can go! But one thing for sure, my kit has to be thebadass killer grunt!
Ok here’s something made my day, Zack the Zakuarelius(Youtuber) share all “Gunpla Posing Contest September 2015” photo entries to Mindfenix pinterest page! Do look through all the photos from link below. See if you can spot my G-Lucifer.



As i look through, i spotted 2 Bruneians entering the contest out of 200+ entries from all over the world. It’s nice to see 3 Bruneians (including myself) having the similar attention as other international builders, having that self-confident to participating the event. I love sharing my WIP (work in progress) through Instagram. It’s one way to communicate and I’ve been follow up from Korea, Indonesia, London, Malaysia but more towards Asia region. Seeing someone’s WIP in making Gundam kit is inspiring and motivates me to do better. I’m too confident enough to build beyond my comfort level but I’ve not yet experiment it first before doing the actual work. Often it’s my mistakes. 

I’m all about sharing stuff and learning at the same time.
If there's anything, do comment below. Thanks!
