Completed MG 2.0 MK-II Titans

The MG MK-II Titans is complete, and with it my tutorial walkthrough series comes to an end. Thanks for following along! This has been a cathartic experience considering the fact that this kit sat in storage for three years while I finished my degrees. More photos after the break!

If this is the first you've seen of this project and you're curious about my process, here's the link to the beginning of the walkthrough:

Mk-II Walkthrough Part 5: Decals, Panel Lining, and Finishing Touches

Onward we march, as we near the end of this tutorial walkthrough series! In this, the final post, we will be talking about how to properly detail one's kit before the matte (or gloss) clear coat and the eventual photography process. You probably saw the title photo and you were like, "but, wait, we didn't panel line or anything.."; not to worry, there's a few steps before we set up the improvisatory studio you see above. Read on for more!

Completed MG Astray "Sky Blue" Commission

The MG Astray "Sky Blue" Frame is complete, and it's hard for me to even imagine it being red at this point. This was a great project, and I had a lot of fun doing the custom paint job. I'll be parting ways with it soon though, and I'm very excited to hear what my client thinks! If you'd like your own commission just shoot me an email and I'd be happy to see what I can do:

Completed HGUC Unicorn Destroy

Unicorn Destroy is complete! It only took around 10 days on and off work but it was a pretty fun little kit to paint. This marks my completion of the HGUC Kshatriya, Sinanju, and Unicorn, so I'm going to take a break from HG kits and Unicorn Mobile Suits in general since we see them so often. Gallery to follow!

Completed HGUC Sinanju

Just finished this kit up this morning and got right to taking pictures. Overall it was a great build and a fun kit to paint. Lots of parts to mask and reverse wash, but that just makes the finished product more rewarding. I've included a full album after the jump, check it out, and let me know what you think!

Completed HGUC Kshatriya

I completed this kit a few months ago, but decided to take some new pictures. A few people were interested in the pre-shading technique I used on this guy and I plan on posting some in-depth pre-shading tutorials in the near future, so stay tuned. More photos in the link.

Completed RX-78 Ver. Ka

Welcome to Gunplacore! As you can see, this is my first post, and I'm very excited about it. I've wanted to start a Gunpla blog for a few months, but I've only recently been able to find some time. I came up with the name Gunplacore through my love of hardcore music. During high school, my friends and I would often tack -core onto the end of normal words to make them more "brutal." Although Gunpla isn't exactly...brutal, some aspects of it can certainly make you want to windmill kick a stranger. Hopefully I can share some tips and tricks through this blog that will diffuse those feelings, and maybe help you become a better modeler along the way. Thanks for reading!

I just completed this RX-78 Ver Ka. the other day and figured it would be a fitting first post, hit the jump for some more pictures.
