Like I did with the three Sabers I took out both my Gundams outsides but to a quieter part (and closer near me) where nobody would give me odd faces or see me. I took Gundam RX-79[G] Gundam (being my favourite Feddie mobile suit) and the Zaku 2 to do some simple fight scenes in a quiet corner near water. I find that grass and water give the pictures a more unique look then simple backyard shots (unless you have a great garden). This was a quicker photo shoot then the previous one so I took being some simple and rushed shots which made me label this Part 1 where I’m going to do it in a park this time so look forward to that.
About the Gundam models yes I did fear of losing pieces and yes I must be crazy to bring out Gundam models outside in the risk of losing it, breaking it, having someone jack it when I’m not looking, having someone stalk me home and then take my camera instead, or whatever else you can think of. I wrapped my gundams in a big enough towel then biked slowly to there and back with no issues. I tried to get someone to help me take pictures but they’re either not around or when they are I can’t contact them, weird. Also if your asking me to paint my models I tried to but I have a fear of making it look messed up as you saw on my ground gundam with the black paint on the shoulder guards. I will paint them when I’m more focused mentally and have the right paint equipement for it. Well enjoy.

and a close up of the lightly damaged Zaku II, probably got saved by the mercy of the Gundam pilot.

Feel free to photoshop anything if you want but make sure to link to my original blog post and notify me, same goes with the Saber images below.
edit: Looking back I know how noobish this was but I tried for the “realism” of it all. I found better ways to do so but they’re still as hard to do.
