Mg Sinanju Ver R.E

Finally gotten this fella back from the competition. It really is a pain to carry around.... Well at least I know my efforts were not wasted this time round. Gotten myself a merit award... haha...=) Well as promised some snapshots of this fella....

First up some W.I.P. Wanted to support as many hobby shops as possible with this kit, so I went down to H.A.G @ Sunshine Plaza to get the kit...
And also the Bazookas....

A look at the wooden base and also the clay, good stuff btw, which were both bought from M-Workshop also located @ Sunshine Plaza

And then there were the crazy metal thrusters which I gotten from Hobby Kulture. Lots of shapes and sizes to choose from!! @_@



Basically this was a pretty OOB kit, only major mod I suppose was the sharpening of the spikes....



Test fitted the thrusters...


And so this was the before picture...

And the after pictures....




Well, overall had mixed feelings about this here kit. It is both a joy and frustration to build.... But overall I am very satisfied with the finished product.

Also like to thank an Overseas friend for giving me this idea of an alternate coloured Sinanju... You know who you are if you are reading this, haha....
Also like to thank Kbata and "Fujimi" for helping me carry this fella back..... haha... Owe ya one guys

Ok that's all for now, please let me know how you feel and enjoy the pictures. Till next time...=)

World cup fever plus Mid Year Compy

As if the stars themselves were destined to line up like this, the World cup has arrived!!!! And to top things off, Mid year compy is here too!!!!!

Well, this year's Mid year compy looks pretty good. Not only because there were lots of quality kits, but because ShengTai finally got it right with the display cabinets!! Yahoo!!!! As usual the big guns were on form and 3 displayed works really caught my eye. The Red Sazabi from Titanium, The Sinanju from Orange and finally the 3 Zakus attacking a Guntank from last year's BAKUC runners up.... With this caliber, I can't wait to see what BAKUC 2010 has install for us!!

And yes world cup fever has hit the world... My favourites to lift this trophy are either Spain or Brazil, but by doing a little bit of research I think Brazil could very well do.... We shall wait and see....

I'll find time to take proper pictures of my Mid Year entry when I get it back, which by the way is the Purple Sinanju... Anyways signing off here, enjoy the pics of the compy by clicking here

Happy World cupping!!!=)

Gundam Mid-Year Competition

Yup it is that time of the year again!!! Gotten an email from Sheng Tai. Venue once again @ Taka B2. Can't wait to see the other entries=)

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)
