SCGMC 2014 T-Shirt Design

The folks here at ThoseGundamGuys have been hard at work creating this year’s T-Shirt design. A limited number will be for sale at this year’s SCGMC event. The price for the shirts have not been set yet, but it should be close to the price we sold last year’s Wing T-Shirts. If you missed out on last year’s Wing shirts, too bad, they’re gone. If you guys are coming out to the Southern California Gundam Model competition in November and want to make sure you get one of these limited shirts; visit our facebook page and post up your name, size, and quantity on this post: SGCMC T-Shirt Pre-Order

Bandai 1/100 VF-25S Messiah Valkyrie Complete!

Bandai 1/100 VF-25S Messiah Valkyrie Complete! After completing the Core Fighter I repaired the Wing Gundam shadow box project that had been pretty well wrecked in an earthquake we had a few months back. After that I dusted off a project that had been on hold for about 18 months. I had it all ready to paint but when it came time to give it a white shaded paint job, I lost interest. So I grabbed another one of the 6 decal sets I had created for this neat little kit and made Ozma Lee’s gray VF-25S.

Core Fighter Complete!

Core Fighter Complete! It has been 6 months since I finished a model… but this one’s in the books! It has an Air Force camouflage pattern but Navy weathering. The major decals are my own design and all the little data stencils come from the kit. To make it more detailed I replaced the kit’s seat with a 1/32 scale resin ejection seat from an F/A-18C Hornet and resin wheels from two different scale F-4 Phantoms.
