End of 2011 Overview - My painted kits from the past year

[jiminboo]

That zoid if freaking insane! congrats ^_^ !!

[enensis]

Yes mate I have a few ideas for 2012. I am going to try a water based diorama for the first time. Hope you are keeping well!

[Agcsantos]

Amazing works out there man, love them, love the amount of detail you can give to certain simple plaint models, you take them to a whole new level, bringing that amount of detail in Zoids or Armored Cores is really really cool! How you painted that? Handbrush?

And I thought my 4 projects during 2011 were a lot...man you sure had a lot of work! Congratz!

[tc012009]

@Agcsantos Thanks for the really awesome feedback. I had loads of fun painting and detailing these kits. They are painted using a combination of spray paint and brush paint.

I've been trying to keep my output at one kit a month for the past year, so hopefully I'll have a similar amount of kits for 2012.

I'm just about finished another Zoid kit which I will hopefully have a video for at the weekend and I'm hoping to start MG HeavyArms when it arrives next week.

Thanks again!

[Agcsantos]

@tc012009 That's the way I wanna start painting, combination between spray and brush...you have great results there man :D

Lucky you can do so many kits ahaha, can't wait to see that Zoid kit and good luck on the HeavyArms :D

[enensis]

the ZOID IS RIDICULOUS!! AMAZING in fact mate

[tc012009]

@enensis Many thanks, that Dark Horn was my big project from early 2011, seven weeks of painting went into that one. I'm gearing up for another big zoids project in the summer, I've just finished the Zoids Godos and I'm itching to try another kit from the franchise.

Hope you are keep well and have had a great start to 2012. Have you many modeling plan for the forthcoming year yourself (aside from Mac 2012).

[johnsmithaha]

Thanks for sharing the great music :)

[tc012009]

@johnsmithaha That tune is Madeon's - Pop Culture, it actually gave me the idea to do the slideshow!!

[johnsmithaha]

@tc012009 Thats good :) the song was so good it made me watch the whole video even though I'm into transformers not gundam

[tc012009]

@johnsmithaha It just goes to prove that the right song is very important for a slideshow.

If you search youtube with the words "Madeon" and "Pop Culture" you'll find the original version of the song. Madeon mixes it live in his video, its absolutely incredible to watch a skilled DJ at the top of his game.

I'm really please you liked the song (its brilliant) and hopefully enjoyed the pics I used to accompany it.

[crimsonprime37]

Nope, just painting gundam kits atm mostly sd and mg but I've only been building and painting a lil over a year snd a half. Nowhere near ready to fully paint the mirage.

[crimsonprime37]

You bet I'm sure it will be amazing as always. I just ordered the 1/72 Blade Liger "mirage" editon.

[tc012009]

@crimsonprime37 Great choice it an awesome model. You planing to paint it, those Zoids are big projects.

[crimsonprime37]

Lol sorry bout. What i ment to say is you by far are my fav mech painter! That is all.

[tc012009]

@crimsonprime37 Thanks for the awesome comment, I'll have a new kit ready to share this weekend, I hope you'll like it (its a HMM Zoid!)

[crimsonprime37]

You sir are my allmt

[REBOOTYOURSELF100]

Bravo TC!! You should be proud of your work!!! So many hours...so much work!!!

Merry Christmas mate!

[tc012009]

@REBOOTYOURSELF100 Thanks Sir, best wishes for the New Year.

[SNEEPER1980]

[tc012009]

@SNEEPER1980 Many thanks Sir, I had a lot of fun with this lot in 2011. I've a few models planned for 2012 already and have just received the perfect kit to enter into MAC 2012 (haul video should be up tomorrow)!

Best wishes for 2012, I've a feeling its going to be a great year.

[enderwiggen100]

Hey man this is great! awesome idea, I just may have to steal it. :)

[tc012009]

@enderwiggen100 Thanks Sir!! I'm looking forward to your video, you've produced stunning work this year.

[Paulhuss80]

Only one word AMAZING!

[tc012009]

@Paulhuss80 Many thanks, I had huge fun working on this lot. Wishing you all the best for 2012.

[clevercoft]

nobeles oblige for the win

[tc012009]

@clevercoft Thanks, that was a favorite of mine also, I'm a big fan of AC kits and hopefully will get the opportunity to build a few next year as well.

[Appasionata88]

You can definitely be proud of your work in 2011 mate. The dark horn and the Ikaruga being the definite highlights. Can't wait to see more of your work in 2012, always a pleasure to keep up with your WIPs

[tc012009]

@Appasionata88 Thanks Appa, I had a lot of fun working on these kits during the year. Thanks for all of your feedback on GE, particularly during the painting phase of the Dark Horn, I took on board all of the comments and they really helped when perfecting the scheme.

[roccondil5]

Wow, you´ve had a great plamo year, tc! hope 2012 will be just as great, with many fine works from you! As for me, I´m starting the new year with 2 new models, MG epyon and MG gyan (wich will be quite a challenge!)^^ Hava a nice year, bro, and keep inspiring us!

[tc012009]

@roccondil5 Thanks roccondil for all of you support over the year, I really enjoyed sharing these kits on youtube. Can't wait to see how your Gyan and Epyon turn out.

Best wishes for the New Year.

[kamniks]

wow bro awesome year for you! this year ive only managed to complete 2 kits haha. Working on 2 more though so hopefully 2012 will be more productive for me.

Your kits always look so cool bro. Loving the Darkhorn a hell of a lot to be honest. My favourite by far!

[tc012009]

@kamniks Thanks Kamm for all of your support over the year, I absolutely love your work and your feedback always inspires me to up my game when painting. I hope to move to airbrush next year, and tryout more challenging techniques.

Hehe, that Darkhorn is very popular, I'm currently deciding on what kit to enter into MAC 2012, I've just received two which are strong possibilities (a zoid perhaps? ;) ).

Wishing you all the best in 2012 Sir.

[Guiltaur]

Wonderful work, Sir! I look forward to seeing what the new year brings for your model work.

[tc012009]

@Guiltaur Many thanks G, I had a lot of fun painting this lot (and a particularly productive summer! ).

2012 will hopefully give me the opportunity to build and paint another Zoid kit, finish my first resin model and paint a Perfect Grade (my first attempt at this scale).

With work and life commitments, are you getting much time for the hobby? Are you still collecting?

Enjoy the holidays and wishing you all the best in the New Year Sir.

[Guiltaur]

@tc012009 - Another Zoid kit, resin model, and PG kit would be excellent high points for 2012.

I am still collecting but I am still quite busy. It seems like it will be some time before I can, if ever, get back into the hobby as significantly as I was before.

Happy holidays to you, my friend. Here's to the New Year.

[MrScipio72]

Like your style mate. Very prolific too. Hope to see more in 2012.

[tc012009]

@MrScipio72 Thanks, I hoping to complete a kit each month in 2012.

[Grarrgle]

Fantastic stuff as always, TC.

Happy new year, and enjoy the holidays.

[tc012009]

@Grarrgle Many thanks, all the best for the New Year Sir

[ptrantrian93]

the dark horn is INSANE !!!!

[tc012009]

@ptrantrian93 Thanks, it was on of my favorites also.

[booler456]

Loving your attention to detail the O looked immense!

[tc012009]

@booler456 Many thanks, I was really pleased with how it turned out.

[Pablo944T]

@tc012009 Yeah I also picked up an airbrush setup this Christmas :) Yup Unicorn is looking great atm, really liking the Base Jabber for some reason and lots of decals lol.

[Pablo944T]

Seven weeks, thats mad :) I've always wanted to build a Zoids kit. Right now I can think of one kit that will take me seven weeks, The FA Unicorn - Lot's of seam lines to get rid off I'd say amongst other things like the weather :p

[tc012009]

@Pablo944T Enjoy the Full Armor Unicorn, I hoping to pick up one also, it looks like an amazing set.

[Aflora24]

god that dark horn is ridiculous, great fuken job on it!

[tc012009]

@Aflora24 Many thanks, that kit kept me buzy for almost seven weeks at the start of 2011. Its still the biggest project I've undertaken and I have plans to paint two more HMM Zoids in 2012, one is a Saber Tiger and the second will be revealed next week in my holiday haul video !! ;)

[arachnidsrulz12]

interesting and fantastic

[tc012009]

@arachnidsrulz12 Thanks, hope you enjoyed the slideshow.

[mobilesuit101]

such great work to be proud of TC!!!!!! your dark horn is still insanely amazing...definitely your best kit this year imo

[tc012009]

@mobilesuit101 Thanks Sir, I really enjoyed the Dark Horn. Would you believe its been in storage since Feb 2011, I really need to get a decent display cabinet to show it properly. Enjoy the Holidays and all the best for the New Year.

[shurkaku]

That was a great compilation there tc. Your ability to detail is in a league of its own. I also feel bad for slacking on my gunpla this year.

[tc012009]

@shurkaku Many thanks Sir, I was actually surprised that I got through so many kits this year, I had a pretty productive summer.

I'm really looking forward to 2012 and have a few nice kits on the way (expect a haul video next week!!). Best wishes to you for the New Year.

[Pablo944T]

Some really nice work here! My favorite would have to be either The O or the Dark Horn, I'd say that took a good while to finish!

[tc012009]

@Pablo944T Thanks, really please you liked the Dark Horn, that took almost seven weeks to complete last January and February. I'm going to be working on a new HMM kit in the New Year and hope to give it an equally detailed finish.

[WarMachine395]

Dude thats a lot of kits :P

might have to do this now...

[tc012009]

@WarMachine395 I was actually surprised by the amount of kits I got through during the summer. BTW, I'd love to see a compilation of your recent work, you've had a busy 2011 also. Enjoy the holidays and best wishes for 2012

[crapmunky99]

Awesome work!

[tc012009]

@crapmunky99 Many thanks and best wishes of the New year.

[crapmunky99]

@tc012009

Thank you, and the same to you!

:)

[fl1pme1ster]

This is great! every single model is amazing!! Can't stop saying it...you have a great eye for details! Happy Holidays!

[tc012009]

@fl1pme1ster Thanks Sir, I had a lot of fun painting this lot. Enjoy the holidays and best wishes for 2012.

[CornishCreamtea07]

I like them all. but my favorite is Hitekkai Ikaruga, probably because I liked the game so much.

[tc012009]

@CornishCreamtea07 Many thans, I really enjoyed the Ikaruga, such a fun kit to build and paint, I'm looking forward to the dark version of the Ikaruga which is being released in April.

[gunplanut]

You were busy this year. I don't even have eight kits painted fr this year. I need to get on the ball.

[tc012009]

@gunplanut If I can get ten kits completed over the next twelve months I'm going to be pretty happy. I'm currently working on a Revell Ferrari F1 car for a group build on Gundam-Eclipse, it feels weird not working on a mecha kit!

[gunplanut]

@tc012009 Yeah, know the feeling... The Mokanaman build-off is the only mecha paint project right now I'm doing. I'm building several Trek kits on commission and have been working on the Moebius Galactica model off and on. Once 2012 happens I'm switching back to mecha for Kamnik's contest and then I plan on custom painting at least five Gundams in custom colors this summer.

[MattLego123]

mice



[tc012009]

@MattLego123 Thanks!

[heroz3000]

great looking kits, nice job, keep up the work for next year!

[tc012009]

@heroz3000 Thanks, I'm really looking forward to a few kits being released in early 2012, the MG Heavy Arms will be an amazing model.

[wrosado71]

Really nice photography on your kits and great looking kits. 

[tc012009]

@wrosado71 Thanks, I moved to a new camera this year so hopefully the better quality images help when presenting the kit. Best wishes for 2012.

[cadderly]

Great Video, Great Kits! Now i wanna count how many kits i actually finished this year.

[tc012009]

@cadderly Thanks Squee, I pretty much got through twelve kits over the past year.  If I can get between 9 and 12 kits complete next year I'll be pretty happy.

[cadderly]

@tc012009 I should add, that Ikaruga is quite inspirational. Your build sold me on the design. I should hopefully be picking up one of the black versions next year. ^_^

[tc012009]

@cadderly I'm tempted by the Black one also, the Ikaruga was tons of fun to build, I'm sure your's will be amazing. I believe Carrots and ZR0 are also considering getting the model, Ikaruga awesomeness awaits!

[lukeXmahn]

thats a lot of kits painted this year! amazing acomplishment id say :)

[tc012009]

@lukeXmahn Many thanks, on average I get a kit finished each month. Hoping to continue this average in 2012.
