Gundam Exia - Display + Tools Introduce

As many people knonw that i got two gundams model for my birthday... One it's Kyrios, which is already done, where is the other one? Hehe.. dont worry.. now i'm going to show my Gundam Exia along with some tools that needed to make a nice model.. ^^

but first i present one nice song for you guys, so that you wouldnt be bored while reading my post.
This song is from Akon and the title is Come Back to Me, some of you guys might heard of this song before, but i suku lo, only heard of it recently.. hehe.. i found this is very nice to listen, and the lyric is so nice and touching.. zobs zobs.. lol...
Here's the song:

Akon - Come Back To Me

(Sorry that this video is not the MTV, because i cant found any on youtube, if you found it, please inform me as well..)

Now for the tools for making a nice model. First of all, you will need a very sharp modeler's knife. it's used to shave away those unwanted area when you taking off the piece from the frame..
the modeler's knife will look something like this...:
Just in case your cutting and shaving skill is not so good, you always can get some very fine sand paper from model shop or some hardware shop like ACE.
Then a plier is needed to cut the piece of part out of the frame. I personally dont use it cause i think is better to use the modeler's knife to cut it. But the knife will easy spoil and need to always change the blade. lol. But i think most probably the plier i bought for RM8 is not suitable for model making. haha. (if buy from model shop, the plier will need about RM50 if not mistaken)
Next a marker is needed to outline the gundam body to make it more 3D. (the one i'm using also not so suitable for gundam modeling)
Now the interesting part, this time i used some of the art use clay. WHY? it's for the gundam foot actually, just put some and stick tight tight into it (REMEMBER DONT BLOCK THE HOLE).. then it will have so wieght on the foot, so it wouldn't fall so easily..
(lousy+cheat art use clay.. lol)

Then here is the process of my Exia.. hehe

It all started with pieces.
then after few hours of hardship.. the chest of exia is done.
then the leg of exia.. look carefully, exia leg joints is more flexible than kyrios, so that more pose can be perform.
Then the whole upper part of Exia
When both of it combine... WA LA~!
It's finish.. Posing TIME~!! wahaha!!
I personally more prefer the pose below.. lol

Next time, i will post step by step how to cut and slice the pieces out of the frame nicely.
Cause now don't have anymore gundam for me to do on.. hehe
I hope it helps on people that like to play gundam modelling..

total time 1 day.. lol

For Your Information:
Look carefull at the side of the box, there is front and back of the gundam, you can refer to that picture in order to do outlining.. ^^
