I dun want iPhone

An iPhone is cool and all but for the Gundam Fanatic nothing beats an iPhone then a Gunpla 945SH G Ver. GP30th... WTF is that? It is a cell phone released by Softbank designed with the theme of E.F.S.F and Gundam RX-78 in mind. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!??

Cools thing, it comes with an MG RX-78 that is said to come with a 'Metal in Frame"... Dunno what that is too.... haha.....

Unfortunately, it is limited edition and from the loks of things, available in Japan only... Oh well..

So screw the iPhone and be poison by the Gunpla 945SH G Ver. GP30th

Happenings for the past few weeks....

Well certainly a lot has happened... The Icelanic volcano is still going strong resulting in closures of major airports in UK.... But who cares about that stuff, the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2010 just ended!!! NOW THAT'S BIG NEWS!!!

Lots of new kits, new annoucements meaning lots to look forward to in 2010!!!

One of the biggest featured kits annouced was from our good friends at Bandai in the form of MG The-O! Yes The-Freaking-O!!! Judging from the pics, it is one huge-ass kit, and on its ass is tagged a huge ass price tag...12600YEN!!! Close to S$200!! (-.-lll) Other exciting stuff inclued a fully built kit of the RG RX-78, and it looks totally cool!! Also annouced were the HGUC versions of the Unicorn series of kits ala Sinanju etc...

My friend Eday is looking forward to another new MG, but no it is not a Gundam but rather a MG Kamen Rider W. A dream come through for him, haha....

Oh before I forget, Hasegawa is also releasing an interesting new Eggplane. Macross Eggplanes anyone?? Looks so cute man!! I want one too!!

More pictures over here

At work, it is pretty much shitty... Seriously I'm wondering how long more I can stay in this shithole.... Got to get out soon before I get too poisoned by this place.... Time to send out those resumes!!!!

Oh well that sums up my week, and yes I finally finished my Mid year competition kit. Will post up pictures as soon as I can, till then Take care all!=)

Tired....

Been doing Midnight shift for the pass 2 weeks..... So tired.... No strength at all.... Now my main concern is whether I can make it in time for Mid-Year compy....=(

More Midnight shift to come next week.... I dun even have time to look for my friends anymore.... I wonder how the sun looks like now... Hmm...

And finally please let the volcano go back to sleep...... Coz I know I need some badly... ZZZzzzzz(-.-)

Happy Birthday!!!!

One more year has gone by, and hopefully I have grown one year wiser, happier and more charming, whahahaha=)

Oh man, how time flies....

HGUC Nu Gundam Ver R.E

Well, after slightly over one year, I am proud to announce the completion of my HGUC NU GUNDAM!!!! YAHOO!!! Bring out the Champagne!! Ok here are the pictures then!!


Used third party metal thrusters to enhance details=)
And finally a parting shot....
This has got to be one of my favorite kits around although I felt I could have done a lot better..... But be warned, although it is very well engineered and all, when it comes to the painting stage, be prepared to lose A LOT OF masking tape!!! It is masking hell (....or heaven to some, haha)

Thanks for looking and please give me some feedback, thank you all!!!XD

HGUC Nu Gundam (Part "I can't remember...")

Ah yes.... once again, it is the revival of this kit.... After a more than a year, it is still unfinished....

Today I show you the shoulders and arms and some weapons.... nothing really fantastic, just plain old pla plating and scribing....

The original shoulders....

And the new ones....

The arm...

For the funnels, I simply scribed a bit of panel lines and then detail up with pla plate a little...

And I scribed some lines on the shield....

Well entering the painting phrase and from wat I gather it is no walk in the park... Lots of masking and swearing... But hopefully the next update would be of the finished kit....

Here's sneak preview....=P

Thanks for viewing!!!=)

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!!

Well well, how time flies. It is the year of the Tiger already!! Rooar.... well, if what they say is true, this could actually be a good year for me, but it starts out pretty bad.... I dunno why.....=( Oh well, I've always taken Astrology with a pinch of salt.

Mid year compy is coming, and the theme of this year's competition is MG kits.... So time to wip out my stuff and start building!!!!

Still stuck with my 1/144 Nu Gundam though.... Must start turboing... Later still got Airfix cup followed by the year end competition..... Looks like a busy Tiger year huh??

So here's wishing everybody GONG XI FA CAI!!!!!! HUAT AH!!!!!!

Gundam GN X-IA Ver. R.E (Part 8)
COMPLETION!!

Ladies(if there are any looking...) and gentlemen... I am proud to present my first kit of 2010... HG 1/144 GN X-IA!!!!!


Well, that's all for this kit, hope everyone likes what they see. C&C are welcome as usual. Till next time!!!=)

GN X-IA (Part 7)

Well nothing much to update. Done up with the arms and ready for show.

Here's a quick look at the masking pain before colour was added on to the arms....

Not long now and the final pics will be up, then it's on to next project... Here's a teaser....

P.S: Might give WOOB a miss coz the decals of the kit I wanted to join with are all in very bad state... I soaked one piece in water and it just became soft and won't peel out.... Ended up it just torn itself up....=(

GN X-IA (Part 6)

Well, have finally done up the legs..... Argh, I really hate white paint, always seem too diluted to work with>=(

Anyways, did a lot of masking for the leg portion, but unfortunately no pics to show as I was too exhausted and pissed to remember to take them=P

Here one can see the panel lines clearly after wash. In my opinion, I really need more panel line practice....=(

Decals were also up. Used random decals from all sorts of kits to spice this kit up. Fitted the top half...

Then there is also the groin area and the back skirt... Nothing really special. Again, just try out something new and different=)

Decals up again and detailed up as well....

Looks ok rite?? Haha....

Well that is all for now, next up the arms and the little orbs for extra details and I can safely say, I'm all done with my first kit of 2010!!!\('u')/

GN X-IA(Part 5)

Typing this on a stormy night... Weather is so unpredictable these days....

Anyways, as I mentioned before, I'm trying a new method of completing my kit i.e Spraying, decaling, washing and flat coating one section of a kit at a time...

Have done up the head and top half of the body minus arm and here are the results....

The front....

I experimented on Mazora paint on the internals. One can see slight colour change in the Gun Metal, but overall I had to agree with Ben (aka Izakku81) that this series of paints are quite disappointing....=(

And the back.....

I must add, I used GAIA flat coat for this kit and the results simply blew me away. WHile the colours have been matt down, the brilliance in them are still retain vs other flat coats like Gunze where the colours tend to dull down a bit.... Good stuff and highly recommended for everyone!!

Also if anyone has the "correct" way of applying Mazora paints please please leave a comment and share share, thanks!!!

I think it looks good so far, bit just let me know what you think, open to suggestions for improvement. Thanks for looking=)
