Damn this rain!

Like the title says. Edward wanted me to show off some of my models and I wanted to shoot them in natural surroundings. But, alas, models and water don't work too well. So, i had to use what i had at hand. A white box and the shelter of the void deck. So, here they are.


This is a Mobile Suit named Tiberius. It originally was the Gouf Custom. It's a 1/100th scale model from Bandai in the MG (Master Grade) line. The dessert camo was my design, the original was supposed to be 3 toned blue. The gatling was kitbashed from the original weapon which was supposed to be attached to the shield.




On your below is one of the 2 kits i've decided to leave in it's original colours cos the they complement each other. The shield was heavily battle damaged.















On your below is a cenversion to depict a police issue mobile suit. 3 tone blue and a dash of black. red and white to bring out some details.













On your below is gun-cannon. The original called for an orange suit of armour. I thought red was bolder. But i'm satisfied with the weathering.















Especially the one below. A marine version completed in US Army olive drab. The weathering on this one is extensive, as you can see.

I have built 2 more and am now waiting for a dry day to bring them all out to play.....

who would have thought those little gundam things we bought all those years ago would have found a place in your heart! nice pics the natural lighting looks good, i reckon we should pack some of the models and bring them to a construction site or even our "house" on sentosa,
