Black Friday 2015

After enjoying Thanksgiving and playing games all day the wife and I like to join in the Black Friday fun.  It is entertaining where we live as people are always friendly and it is never too crowded.  Last year we got a new TV and XBONE with some games.  This year all I was after was some newer games that were on sale.  Well I managed to get everything on my list!  Also managed to get Little Mac Amiibo at Gamestop.  Some last minute splurging on Guitar Hero Live (so my wife can win at a game) and a sound bar and sub for the TV.  

We had a blast standing in line at Target with a nice 7degF chill to keep us on our toes.

1/100 HG Custom Heavyarms Custom

About a year ago I handpainted a 1/100 HG Heavyarms Custom.  It was no easy feat as this is an old kit that doesn't have much seperation between parts.  The white and yellow parts are unpainted as I wanted to keep those colors.

I have been wanting to do weathering to him and give him a bit more personality.  Finally decided one day I was going to start.  As I was adding some black to the legs to make silver metallic show better I decided I was really diggin' the black outline.  Almost as if it was cel shaded or sketched.

Decided to do it to the entire kit.  It made me reaaaaaaally nervous because I spent so much time handpainting the custom paint scheme.  Well I think it paid off brilliantly and I think I will likely do this style in the future on some other kits.  I think it looks amazing on the white.  Gives the edges a great contrast you wouldn't usually get.  I am thinking this would look amazing on 1/100 Barbatos!

The legs are definitely my favorite part.  I want to try this style again but with a suit that is mostly white.  Hope everyone enjoyed!  Album has more pictures!

Muv-Luv Kotobukiya 1/7 Cryska Barchenowa

In celebration of the Muv-Luv Kickstarter being a huge success I wanted to finally take some pictures of my Cryska Barchenowa 1/7th scale Kotobukiya.  A great addition for Yui Takamura Kotobukiya.  I am hoping to get Inia 1/7th scale Kotobukiya as well.

This is another great Muv-Luv statue by Kotobukiya.  Cryska includes a removable gun aswell as some rubble pieces for decoration on the base.

One of my favorite details is the back of the pilot suit.  With Yui you could not see much of the detail due to her longer hair.  However, Cryska's shorter hair gives the back a lot of noticeable detail.
