A new craze

Caught a bad bug recently. The "Kamen Rider (KR)" bug to be exact. It started off with pain and aches in all my joints, that was right after I finished the MG Son Gokou for Leon Chen. And the symptoms got progressively worse after I saw Leon Ku's Mask Rider Accel . 

So I went to Hobby Art Clinic (HAG) and the friendly doctor prescribed me with two types of medicine, antibiotic - MR "Cyclone Joker" and muscle relaxant - MR "Accel". Both to be taken three hours before bedtime everyday and to stop when all symptoms are relieved.  

Told me if there is no improvement after five days, I need to see him again and he will prescribe stronger MR medication. 

I LEFT THE CLINIC A HAPPY MAN....

1/8 MG Son Gokou

I have being working on this for the past one week. A break from Gunpla (not that I need it) but something refreshing. Bandai has been producing these MG figures but I did not attempt to do them. I personally do not like the joints although it provide articulation. Nevertheless, I gave it a try and it didn't turn out to be that bad. In fact, I enjoyed the process! 

This would be my first figure and I was like painting for the "first" time all over again. I did not follow the colours and ratio recommended by the manual and mixed some custom ones. I was totally clueless about flesh tones and Mr Leon Ku was a big help (there is nothing this guy doesn't know)!! 

 Two sets of decals were given. One water-transfer and the other, stickers. 

 Tackling the seam lines on the arms. 

Seam lines aplenty on the arms, legs, torsos, and the worse, the hair!
