Project MG RX-178 Gundam Mk-II Ver. 2.0: Titans Prototype Mobile Suit ~ Part III

Here are some of shots of my current on-going project again, now at its snap-build completion stage. For this particular build, i have decided to do away with only half of its armour installed, to expose its sophisticated skeletal frame which, i thought to be cooler until Bandai launched its clear part campaign recently... but as a whole kit *meaning i won't be able to purchase the clear parts only for my existing MGs... -_-"

This project has taken on intermittent hiatus while yours truly was away on business trip and ocassional home trip; as evident in this close-up shot which, also features the amount of dust that has accumulated on it while lying on halted display on my desktop =p

Very high level of detail on the skeletal frame which entails tedious panel lining job to make it presentable... xp

One of the highlights of its very articulative ankle part is the chrome coated bling-bling hydraulics =)

Experimented with my newly acquired SP90 f/2.8 macro for this shoot; obviously the resultant pichas turned out to be quite crappy, just like these examples... -_-
I've still got a lot to work on to get the correct setup for toy photography...
Updates on Project Mk-II Titan to be continued after decal application stage is completed; now that i won't be going anywhere for this weekend, i'll see if i can get it ready for another proper shoot. =)
*Came across another fellow enthusiast who worked on similar Titans project too, on a much bigger scale *it's the ultimate, PG or Perfect Grade!* & higher level of modeling; thanks for dropping by Shaun; your masterpiece PG Gundam Titans RX-178 is very inspiring!
