Cleaning Gunplas

Dust-off

Slotting in an eleventh-hour Gundam-related posting before the end of the month, after the extensive focus on the two Deluxe Class Arcees from "Transformers: Prime" earlier on. ^^

While this posting would seem more suited to be published around Chinese New Year in mid February, as it represents situations that may be faced by Gunpla collectors while doing their spring cleaning, I think the topic is still general enough to be discussed now. ^^

One can always prepare early for next year's spring cleaning. XD

In line with a couple of postings I did on repairing and maintaining some of my old kits in the past, this one is about cleaning dust off old Gunplas that have been standing inside my display cabinet since forever. ^^; Master Grade Ground Type Gundam is here as the first example to demonstrate how serious the dust issue has become for my old Gunplas over the years: ^^;



Since my display cabinet has been jam-packed with kits of different scales since the beginning to maximize its shelf space, taking the kits out in proper order so that they can be returned to their "original" shelf positions later is very much an endeavour in its own rights. ^^;

Despite the trouble, I did clean my cabinet Gunplas in the past, albeit with unfortunate, troublesome aftermath. ^^; To avoid the same problem from happening again, I found a new tool to clean my models, which I'm going to talk about in this posting.

And no, it's not Zippo lighter fluid. ^^

Super Deformed many things

My Older Collection Part 10

That universal action pose

A regular segment this has become on my blog. ^^

For those appearing in this posting, despite being labelled the "older" ones in my collection, they are actually not too old as compared to some of the other more vintage items, since all of them were featured in previous reviews on this blog.

The theme of this particular part in the series: an identical action pose. Can you spot it? ^^

My Older Collection Part 9

The band of blue and green

Another posting featuring randomly selected older Gunplas and previously reviewed action figures from my collection. ^^

This is actually the second posting with the same theme this month, after the one was published two weeks ago. ^^

The shoulder cannons should be expanded, but I chose not to do that to allow the wing tips to be seen more clearly. ^^

The Zeon is strong with this one

Another posting featuring randomly selected older Gunplas and previously reviewed action figures from my collection. ^^

Built and detailed long before I started using basic tools like Gundam Markers, the Heat Saber was actually painted using spray paint meant for motorcycles. Looking back, it was truly a miracle that the plastic stick didn't melt from my super amateur attempt. XD

My Older Collection Part 7

Full color 3D to black-and-white 2D

Another batch of new images of some of my previously reviewed collectibles, after one similar posting did in early February. However, unlike that previous posting, all the photos were taken with my tablet, with black-and-white manga effect added to them using MangaGenerator. ^^ Some images worked better than the others, but it's definitely a fun app to play with. ^^
