Posing your Gunpla


Hello Gunpla Meisters! On this tutorial, I'll be teaching you how to properly pose your gunpla for photography!
Ok, so let's see what we have here!

Err.. O.. K.. Well, a standing pose is good but, this isn't what we want... Let's fix that, shall we?


There we go! Now that's a standing pose! The thing I usually do to the poses is to make the Gunpla express itself more. As you can see, the head is tilted downward as if it's glaring. The arms are widened which gives it a strong look. And the legs are apart to give it a nice stance. Very little changes but great improvement don't you think?
Ok, let's try something else now. How about a shooting pose?

It's.. Ok, but we can do better right? Let's give it a try!


Now we're talking! It's looking good now! Once again, I've given it a pose with more expression. The arms are widened, legs are spread out and I made sure that his GN Sword's Beam Rifle is aligned with his head's sight. I also lost the shield so it'd look good! (Or rather, I forgot to put it on *facepalm*)
Ok, let's try another one! This time, with its swords!

Ehh.. You don't just make it hold them.. You gotta make it do something with them right? Let's fix that again, shall we?


There you go! Looks alot livelier right? The way he looks now is like he's ready for a sword fight!
Just remember, always give emphasis on your Gunpla's expressiveness. Think of a really good pose that you think they'd do in the anime and make it come to life! Always give your Gunpla a very strong pose, widened arms and spread out legs is always a good thing. Not too much though! Things could get ugly! And lastly, keep experimenting on what poses you can do and take snapshots of your Gunpla as many as you can!
Here's a couple more to give you an example.


"Come here!"


"Stand back, I'll cover you!"
Once again, thanks for reading and Happy Building! Err.. Posing! :D
