GNSquacker- Gundam and More

Return- The Beginning

GNSquacker — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:36:41 +0000

I was able to go to my local hobby shop, where I was able to purchase a plethora of paints, thinners, sandpaper, brushes, and even cement. In addition, I’ve finally (successfully) disassembled my airbrush, which was plagued by a paint clog. Once everything gets clean, I plan on buying mineral spirits as an extra precaution and later measure of cleaning to make sure my airbrush gets used to its full potential. Original posting here (4/21/2013), so no pictures. Yet. Stay tuned!

Still Here.

No progress on Gunpla due to school, and with my camera broken, any documentation will be halted regardless. That said, I am alive (and rather well.)

I may or may not upload a review of this. Still deciding. Gotta read it first xD

Next Project- MG Turn A

GNSquacker — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 03:55:09 +0000

Hey everybody,

My next project is going to be the Master Grade Turn A.

I’ve already gotten one leg done, though I plan to complete the kit within the next 3 weeks. WIth this kit, I’ve bought new [spray] paints and have tested out some new painting techniques on the kit. While I like how it has turned out so far, I already see areas where I can improve. I apologize for the lack of pictures in this post; expect a WIP with a small gallery as my next post. There, I’ll explain any plans and procedure for completing this.

Until then,

-GNS

20,000 Views- Update

Hey everybody,

It’s another big number! 20,000 views!

School has started up, and it is a bit much for me to be able to post gunpla and other things. For the next several months, expect this site to go into vlog mode. I will try to post things, especially of my Crew Regattas. I hope you stay tuned and with me these next few months, I’m hoping to hit another milestone.

…And it’s all because of you guys.

Alright, take care now!

Hello everybody!

I know I haven’t posted as much here (or anywhere in general), but school is about to start again, and posting will go back down even more. However, I feel that posting here will become more likely as it won’t consume as much time as a video.With that said, I think a few videos showing what I’ve been doing are in order:

As you can see, there are several changes to the channel, involving content as well as the approach. Advertisements are being incorporated into the videos to serve as a fallback source of “income”. This money, should it become available, could be used for the channel/ blog and other related things.

Next up up is content. Here, GNSquacker has gone in a new direction by trying out new types of filming, including special effects videos. Now that we have a few more resources to use, expect more full-length, dedicated videos like that.

Now, on to gunpla. I have not completely left it as a hobby but I do feel more and more distanced from it. That being said, I plan to buy a Master Grade every now and then because part of me still loves it. The only problem being time. I lack it currently, which is why you won’t be able to see much of me. I have to focus on school and crew; my academics come before any of this. However, I will try to the best of my ability to post. BE it gunpla, special effects, or things from my personal life. Expect many new things this year and on.

Thank you for the ongoing support, ALMOST 20,000 VIEWS!

God Project- WIP 2

GNSquacker — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 20:33:25 +0000

Second work in progress; finished all read pieces. Used Model Master Lacquer “Dark Red” spray. Turned out quite nice, considering it looked like over-spray when I was painting. Expect updates like these each weekend.

Thanks for viewing! Here are the pics!

Note: Expect link to YouTube vid soon, uploader is broken -_-

White parts are there because I split them. Notable difference, just thought to put it here.

What would you guys like to see here?

GNSquacker — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 14:46:36 +0000

Hey guys, expect a WIP later today, but I want to hear your opinions on something. I want to broaden the posts I make here AND on my YouTube channel, but I also want to know what you guys think. By simply clicking to answer this poll, it would help me (A LOT) to bring more content that you guys would like.

Thank you,

GNSquacker

Next Project Preview- W.I.P.#1

GNSquacker — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 22:03:43 +0000

Finished this much over the weekend, it’s the one kit I have left that I feel confident painting after such long inactivity. Used Model Master Lacquer cans.However, the blue is being annoying, and is coming out weird. I was starting to love the color, too… would sanding help? Or stripping it and trying again be the better option? The yellow worked well, still haven’t tried out the other colors. Now I am worried to…

Painted Custom

Made this guy awhile ago with Testors Sprays and gold Gundam Marker. Those of you who watch me on YouTube know about his WIP’s, but I haven’t actually made a video. Here are some photos, first versions are with flash, seconds are without. Link is to the YouTube vid.

Enjoy!

I live in Michigan and Row for my High School team. We need points to row, or it’s pay-to-play. I work at concessions for college sporting events, and this is the most recent one- yesterday. Took some funny pics with a couple friends.

Enjoy!
