GAF Member Feature - Falldog's Banshee ver. Titans

<<< Click to beam your way to GAF














As I stare at the box of my unbuilt MG Unicorn, then at Falldog's ever increasing number of custom coloured Unicorns, a Colony-size guilt drops on me. Don't get me wrong, I love the design, but the number of parts that I have to prep and paint is astounding. To think just last week I was considering getting the MG Banshee, good thing my fear of monster number of parts stopped me from clicking the "Add to Cart" button. BUT I digress.

Lets talk about his Titan Banshee. What makes a good Titan suit, in my book, are the colours. Personally, I think he nailed the blue on this kit. *Tick*. His decision to colour the translucent parts with a solid silver is a bold one. To keep it clear orange would be too messy with this scheme. Also, to paint the chest piece yellow is a good call, giving the Banshee a RX-78-vent-esque look, a well planned scheme. Not to mention everything is done in matte, pop, pop and more pops. The clear red on the claws gives the Banshee a bloodthirst look (run free imagination, run free).  

Question, two claws, to open one and keep one closed? Gah!! I want to see both open and tear something apart. But it was not to be. Oh well, back to the bodywork, the amount of decal on this is just enough to keep everything really clean. All in all, a superb build. One that inspired me continue my Unicorn.

GAF Member Feature - Gundam Beginner's RG Launcher Strike

 << Click the image for EPICness




EPIC! 'Nuff said.
...
....
.....
Probably not? Where to start. Right, this build is part of the International RG Strike Trinity build off. Where 3 gunplar defied the distance between them and completed a build off. Like I said, EPIC!

Gundam Beginner's style of building is always clean with the right amount of weathering for a realistic look. He made sure that your eyes swallow all the detail this little kit could offer. As quoted from a wise man "it takes a master to show restraint", the weathering does not overpower the paintjob nor the Gnndam. Without a doubt, one of the best looking RG Strike out there.

The Catapult: GAF Member Feature - Anazasi's 1/100 HORUS (Zaku) & 1/144 QAN[t] resin

I know right!!! This is insanity!! Lets talk about the build, according to Anazasi, he used 90% of the inner frame of MG Zaku Cannon and 40% of it's armor for the project. The armors, scratch built using epoxy putty and pla plate. He also uses parts from the MG Gyan. Well, he also mentioned he was planning to simulate the ANUBIS kit but can't find any ''Jackal head'' and found a ''Falcon head'' instead. Not too sure what that meant, but the Falcon head is a really good complement to the overall build. I love 'spine' in my mecha, and this build has one of the best spine. The neck and the stomach, organic detail FTW!!

Now that's out of the way, look at the colour. Gold with Green lines, I salute him! That is one colour combo that I would not have come up with. And it looks pretty good eh! It made things more organic in my opinion.

Arnaments!! Oh my, missile pods, sword of longinus, shield, psychic energy. That is one hell of a killer machine! I can only stare at it with envy as I made the connection that this will not be in my display case. You can stare at it with envy too! Just click on the image above, transport yourself to GAF and stare..............

Sigh.. What can't this guy do?? one minute awesome scratch build, the next a superb resin build. Note that this is 1/144, that is one small size resin that I do not want to deal with. But look at that beauty, everything is so streamlined, and personally, I love the ELS QAN[t].Needless to say, this is a job well done. The gradient on the ELS QAN[t] looked good here, of course this is his 3rd, wait, 4th [?] ELS QAN[t] so I am not that surprised that he poopped this out in record breaking time and still retain the quality of his work.

Enough from me so, click on the image above to float to the Catapult.

GO GAF GO GO GO!!!

Daddy is back!!!

Due to a recent boating mishap, I was left with a dislocated shoulder and a slightly crushed fingers. Anyway, all is well now. So much to report, but I will do it all slowly. I apologise for the lack of update.

The Catapult: GAF Member Feature - Garret Masterson's MG Banshee OVA ver.

 Click the above image to check out more images in our forum.

Today, I present to you Garret's Masterson's beautifully repainted MG Banshee. What drew my attention was the metallic orange/bronze frame. I believe this is an unconventional colour on the Banshee as most people would paint it gold. To be perfectly honest, I prefer the orange. In saying that, I wouldn't have painted a solid colour, perhaps a clear orange on the surface and silver at the back of the clear pieces to fully utilise the glowing frame pieces. Well, enough about me.

 

I admire his choice of staying true to the colour of the Banshee, painting the armor midnight blue instead of black. The colour combination between the blue, bronze/orange and gold is one the best I've seen. The paint job is done particularly well, smooth metallic colours. Decals are done very well. Edges are not to be seen and it is not overwhelming like the Unicorn Ver.ka, but enough to give the plain armor a life of its own. What else can I say, this is top work from a top modeller.

This Banshee does not look out of place with his Titanium finish Sinanju.

My only qualm is the lack of poses in his gallery, but as a fellow gunplar, I understand the pain of having a scratch on the otherwise flawless paint job. Well done Garret!!
