GBWC 2018 MALAYSIA: Taro Gundam [MG RX-78-2 GUNDAM THE ORIGIN] by Putra Shining

Hi and welcome to Putaro Plastic Modeller! I present to you my GBWC 2018 Malaysia entry, Taro Gundam. It's based from the MG 1/100 RX-78-02 Gundam (Gundam the Origin) Special Version. It's a last minute artwork, but I do carefully planned this artwork.

Everyone like the RX-78-2 Gundam design, that's including me, so I just did a bit customization just to make sure the designs stay visible and recognizable to the world. Just custom the weapons and do lots of painting. Those painting are hand painted by using basic arcylic paints that artist used for paintings.

Those paintings on the parts of the body have meanings. Those paintings looks like wind wave in the ocean, yes it is but every color have different meaning. It's not just random Red, Blue and Yellow waves, the meaning behind it are Blood, Abyss and Gold. Blood represents Hunger for Love, Lust, and Brave. Abyss represent Depth of Wisdom and Intelligence. Gold represent Precious Time and Energy. Combine all it's presents Life that flows in the body of a Gundam all because of one person that give a life to a machine like a heart. A machine's character's defined by the person who pilot it.

This entry I did make the gunpla still can move so I can change it's pose anytime. The diorama I used Plaster Of Paris (POP) and hand painted using acrylic paints. I hope you guys like my artwork. Thank you for your support until today.
