a contestant finally finishes his WIP for our ZAKU YARIAN CONTEST.
kitbashed ZAKU II with TIEREN and other kits turned into a BEAST
the modeller said that he left the color scheme as is because he might ruin the kit when he paints it.
anyway, good work!
we'll also feature some of his kitbashed works soon!
his WIP can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.531041336934215.1073741826.100000850611763&type=3&uploaded=5

One of our members who got our attention on his post.
Clean Build and Spray painted with Tamiya. Nice choice of color scheme. Simple yet Attractive!

Introducing Percival "Zangetsu" Castro entry ! He's one of the regular members of PG, and also has a great taste on rendering his kits.
So here is his entry, MG Unicorn Banshee in standard color scheme. He really got me in his rendering by using gradients on the psychoframe.
Why is his build special?
Because his entry really depicts how does a psychoframe glow and heat up. Simple build yet fantastic depiction on the psychoframe :D This is really an amazing painted build in standard colors.
I hope he gets an award! Good luck on the nationals Zangetsu!
His WIP album can be found here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.643855465630809.1073741825.100000190837547&type=1
Anyway it's an MG version of the RG counterpart. My guess is that this is obviously more articulated, probably has "open-hatch" feature, LED feature where you'll put it inside the back pack and insert the head of the LED inside the body. (why? because they said that bandai has a new evolution on the MG Series). I guess I should expect a ver. 3 of Zeta gundam.
Kit costs 4500 yen and the release date is on August

actual kit
Here's a local event that we want to share so you guys might want to view something new.
The Gunpla kit contest was held by GFP-Mindanao; a local Gundam group in Davao.
This is a good thing to post because we usually are curious what some small local Gundam community do. :)
The Poster says it all.
Here's a good group kit display.

And here are the thirteen entries that were submitted on the contest.

FOR ALL ONE PIECE ENTHUSIASTS,
HERE'S A DIORAMA THAT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE EVENT
this is pretty good! To make an actual scene using P.O.P. Figures the diorama is really big.

they forgot Sengoku xD and i kinda don't like seeing Blackbeard on the top making him look like the boss of the marines. Or probably they made that on purpose since it looks like they're going to execute Blackbeard.
the contributor probably forgot to take a photo of the other side of the diorama and look it's Jinbei's arm xD
There you have it. It's really nice to present some small gunpla related events that aren't usually featured by other gundam
news-sites. :)
Many members are asking how tall a kit specifically if it is in 1/144. So here's a guide on measuring your kit or non-specified scale figure (especially your gashapons and vinyl figures). Don't complain if this post is long, just read it. It's worth it.
So what is a scale?
It is a term we used to re-size the STANDARD measurement of a real life object into a miniature; or it can be re-sizing a figure into a higher/lower scale.
*a non-proportioned figure (like SD) doesn't have a scale if you compare it to a proportioned figure that has standard size, but you can re-scale it if you want to make it bigger or smaller.
Remember the higher the digit is, the smaller it would be. The lower the digit, the bigger it is.
How to convert a STANDARD size to a smaller scale?
example: I want to know how tall Neue Ziel is if it is in 1/144 and 1/100
First you need to know its standard height, just go to http://gundam.wikia.com and search for the model's overall height.
so Neue Ziel's height is 76.6 m
*note: metric system (meter, centimeter, kilometer) is easier to use than english system (inch, foot, yards)
*take note that we will use cm on every scale so imagine the scale to 1 cm/144 cm and 1 cm/100 cm. Don't ask, just do it.
Next step is to follow a formula:
1. Multiply the numerator by the standard measurement of the specified unit.
2. Then divide the result to it's denominator
76.6/144 = 0.5319cm , 76.6/100 = 0.766cm
3. Then multiply it by 100
0.5319cm(100cm) = 53.19cm, 0.766cm(100) = 76.6cm (well as you can see 1/100 is easier, just turn meters into centimeters)
so there you have it. Neue Ziel's Height on 1/144 scale is 53.19cm while it is 76.6cm in 1/100 scale.
How to identify the standard height on a specific scale?
given the scale and the measurement of the figure, you can easily solve it by doing the steps above in reverse.
1.Divide the height of the figure to 100
2. Then multiply the result of the figure to the denominator of the scale.
3. Then just change cm to m. (don't ask, it will be complicated, this post will be longer to read)
How to identify the scale of a non-specified scale figure?
A nice example on identifying a scale are gashapons. Just follow this steps to identify a scale of each individual gashapon.
1. Measure the height of the gashapon and always use centimeters.
2. Divide it by 100
3. Lastly use the answer to divide the standard size(just get the overall height of the unit in http://gundam.wikia.com)
example: I have a zaku II gashapon and it's height is 4cm.
4 / 100 = 0.04
The overall height of a Zaku II is 17.5m
17.5 / 0.04 = 437.5 round off the decimal number and you got the scale
so the scale of the gashapon is on 1/438 or 1/440 so it's easier to read.
How to re-size a kit into a bigger/smaller size scale?
a good example is turning your 1/100 kit to 1/24 or your 1/100 kit to 1/150. so follow these steps
1. Convert 1 meter to your preferred scale
1 meter on 1/24 is 4.17cm, while 1 meter on 1/150 is 0.67cm
2. measure your 1/100 kits dimension and multiply it with the preferred scale.
example if your exia's length forearm is 3cm multiply it with 4.17cm if it's on 1/24th scale or 0.67cm if it's on 1/150th scale. So the results are 12.51cm (1/24) and 2.01cm (1/150)
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! IT'S EASY RIGHT?
ENJOY BUILDING.
So if you're now building bigger or smaller models with the help of this post, please do share your work to us and we will feature it :)

The MG Deepstriker Project was unveiled last December just in time for the PG-GMAC Xmas Kitakits. Daddy Vanz "Anazasi" Hilario prepared the MkI version of the kit back then.
It was around 60% completed, and right after Anazasi decided to add some tweaks to the WIP to further improve the design. Now its around 90% done with only the front armor and 303E decals pending.
It looks really good at this stage that we decided to make a photoshoot of the WIP proper.
ENTER MkII!!!

Just a few more tweaks here and there. Target completion is very soon. More pics to follow.
Till next, Mismo!
