RD 00 Raiser Condenser Type

September 29, 2010 — Z

While I might not have a 00 with a GN Sword III (well, technically I do but… ya know), nor have I assembled one before but the one on this 00 Raiser seems… upside down? and backwards to boot? xD

While it doesn’t look too bad, it is practically suicidal if Setsuna (or whoever is piloting this) decided to fire the Raiser Sword that way… just sayin’.

00 Gundam 7Sword/G Unboxing

September 28, 2010 — Z

I think it’d be wise that I start on my next project  and take care some of the annoying parts before the homework start piling up. Since I’m back to WISP, you probably won’t see the completed model until maybe mid-Oct ^^;. However, I might have other reviews until that time.

Look What I Found

September 28, 2010 — Z

Was digging around my room and finally found this old can of Tamiya topcoat that I’ve never used (guessing it should be still good).

Even Q-Tips Matter in Gunpla…

September 27, 2010 — Z

“Wait…wut? I thought cotton buds are just cotton buds!”… No no… not to me at least. I use cotton buds to clean the excess ink off my panel lines, wipe off excess paint, and apply waterslide decals; cotton buds/swabs/q-tips are very handy. It is only natural I’d choose use ones that are a bit higher quality than cheapo ones. For example, you can easily buy a pack of 500 q-tips for around $1 but I’ve recently bought a canister of 200 for almost $3… and it was the best $3 I’ve ever spent on Gunpla supplies.

Festival Japan at Uwajimaya

September 26, 2010 — Z

‘Twas a sunny day today and there was a Festival Japan being held over the weekend outside a Japanese supermarket so thought I go check things out to see what’s interesting (yea, the same place I went to work for Kinokuniya)…

Review! HG Arios Gundam!

September 25, 2010 — Z

HAHAHAHA! Super Soldier, resurrected!… in a Gunpla review ^^;. Well, thought I’d pump out another review seeing how I still have just A TINY BIT of free time. Truth be told… this review is completely out of the blue. I just jumped into this model out of impulse, straight-built it, and reviewed it. I wanted to see how well and fast I can review a model “on the fly” or on an impromptu. Normally, I would have ideas on what I want to do with a model (paint, poses, omake, etc) weeks or even months ahead before I start on the model. This time… I had to come up with ideas as I go along in the WIFP and during the photoshoot. Took me all but one day xD. While it might not be coherent, this is neither a short or a rushed review. As a matter of fact, Arios Gundam’s review has the highest photo count in the HG section!

Okay… enough talking from me. Here it is: HG 1/144 Arios Gundam GNHW/M! HAHAHAHA!

Oh, one more thing… I am hoping to bring you the final chapter of the “Astray vs. Astray” omake series from the MG Astray reviews by the end of this month. It’s going to have a page of its own… and I promise it’ll at least be fun :). I want to finish this month with a bang!

Old Gundam Games

September 24, 2010 — Z

Felt like playing some old games for nostalgic reasons so I dug out Gundam Battle Assault 2 to whoop some mecha butts but…

HGAW Gundam X Divider Announced

September 23, 2010 — Z

Since everyone is already going “YOU WA SHOCK” about the MG 00 Quan[T], I’ll refrain from posting about it. So let’s take a look at something more interesting (or overshadowed)… HG 1/144 Gundam X Divider! Beam Harmonica! I repeat… BEAM HARMONICA. I still haven’t read a single review about the HG 1/144 Gundam X yet (though I know who’ve reviewed it ^^;) but I think I might pick this 1/144 up for the holiday depending on how things go. At ~1890 yen + shipping, I’m gonna have to fork over about $30 for this TToTT. At this rate, I think we might see a HG 1/144 Double X soon or Versago and Ashtaron… mm one can hope.

X-Divider a get for you?

MG Strike Freedom Review UP!

September 22, 2010 — Z

It’s about time I’m done reviewing this! The model took a bit more effort than I had anticipated and other things popped up so I had to delay things a bit. Well… with this, that makes four MG review in less than a month’s time starting with the MG Red Frame :D. Hopefully, this makes up a bit for the three-month dead period during the summer. This is my last review for the month though; had I finished Strike Freedom last weekend, then I might have worked on one more. School starts next week so I’m just going to take this time to chill, have a few drinks with friends, and study Japanese a bit ahead of time. This also means my WIFP days are over and it’s time to go back to the WISP.

Anyway, here it is… MG Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst Mode :). The review is actually “incomplete” since I’m still adding comments here and there (so don’t read anything yet) but all the photos have been uploaded… and that’s what really matters right? So yea… I’m not reading/replying to comments yet since I’m probably still working on the review. Hope you enjoy the review! ^^

UPDATE: The review is completely done! Still going over some of the fine details but I think it’s safe to read now ^^.
