PG Strike Freedom - Progress thus far: 5 - Armour Application
Because I've cut almost everything off the sprues already, putting the armour on has been a relatively painless process.I did spray the blue and red panels on runner with primer, thus the grey tone. Left hip rail gun is in grey and right (it's left)...
HGUC ReZEL Commander Type
I got this as a gesture of solidarity between me and the members of the GAF MG ReZEL Group Build.I was waiting for the MG ReZEL Command Type to be released before making the decision and... to be honest I just don't have the time for another MG befor...
My Last Gundam?!
Maybe!Going away present from my volleyball team! T_T Thank you so much!!!
New Gunpla Releases
I thought I was out of the game... but they keep drawing me back in...Can I resist these... I don't know... This one is going to be hard. I might be forced to order these just to see what the process is like.Ah! If I was still in Japan at the time...
Flag Fighters For Life! #4 - HG Graham's Custom Flag
In a rare switch of events, my blog is actually behind my Facebook page because I've gotten so busy and can only afford to make quick posts now and then. I often just post things on my page as I see/do them. I do this because it's simple, fast and I...
ANA Gundams
Looking at this I can't help but feel really lucky. ASM hooked me up with the RX-78 in August during the 1/1 pilgrimage. He bought the 00 for me later but him and Gaigun split the cost and gave it to me as a going away present! The generousity!Tha...
Musha MK II WIP 6 - Enter MG MK II Ver. 2.0
Nothing more can be done until these two are re-united with their older brother back in the motherland.
Forever Gundam Variations
Suddenly I want this kit. Hobby no Toriko strikes again! The creativity coming out of that place is just amazing! It's what I aspire to myself with my own Gunpla. This level of originality. I never even considered all the things you could do wit...
Proportions / Anatomy
MatX posted a very interesting article on his blog and I'm glad I read it.As someone who's also dabbled in comic book art myself I'm very familiar with "anatomy" and "proportion" study. I mean my other blog is almost all about anatomy.Nobel ponders...
Macross Fighter Collection #4
I've wanted to pick up a couple of these since I first saw them. I missed out on the first 3 series and now I've finally managed to snag a couple. Really... I saw a guy just come and pick up the whole box one time. Didn't leave any for anyone else...
Beargguy LED Work... or perhaps LED work in general
From Gamera Baenre. The Gunpla stuff is at the bottom of that link.Like laser beams!Honestly this guys LED work blows me away sometimes. And he somehow switches it on with a magnet. I've seen him do this before with his Gouf. He was kind enough t...
Exit Strategy 3 - Impulse
He's held up well and still looks as good as ever. I like the effect the oxidized gold gives to this mech. Like he's been around for a while. I never really played with him much and I kind of regret that now. What a great looking suit he is. OYW...
Post #500!
Is that a lot to do in 3 years of blogging? I don't know.To commemorate this special occasion here is a Gundam made of cardboard.Here is the source. I personally think this thing is awesome. I actually like the 'cardboard' colour scheme! haha
Exit Strategy 2 - Sinanju
Z mentioned that when he was feeling down this summer he stayed away from posting so that his negative attitude wouldn't come out in his posts.I'm not exactly feeling down like that (life is pretty damned good!) but I do feel that just because someth...
Exit Strategy 1 - Posters
I hate this part. Pulling up the roots. Packing up.First I start by making myself feel 'uncomfortable'. In this case it's making my room feel like it isn't my room anymore. So all the posters come down. The place already feels colder.However......
Flickr Re-Activated!!!
Sinanju-gm3[1]Originally uploaded by BusterbeamFirst change I'm making to this blog in 2011 is making Flickr active again. I think Flickr might have been a big thing that was driving traffic to this site and I basically ignored it during 2010. It b...
Happy New Years!
That time of the year already eh? Wow. Well 2010 was certainly an eventful one for me. Life changing to be honest, but let's keep all of this confined to my Gunpla life for the time being! If that's even possible... the two are so intermixed now.L...
Welcome Home
Rescued.She was good about it. She expected me to come and get them eventually. I was going to ask her if she wanted to keep the ones I bought for her but they were already in the box so I didn't say anything. Probably for the best...It was a bit...
PG Strike Freedom - Progress thus far: 4 - Completed Frame Work
I'm pleased with how it's turned out so far. The gold I sprayed on the body ended up being a bit pinkish but it's OK because it more than makes up for it in luster. The gold I used on the wing frame was actually gold leaf and it was very yellowish...
2010 Nagoya Gunpla Expo
I went at the beginning of the month. Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to the pics. Still haven't really found a great uploading system yet but I think I'm getting there. You can see the full gallery by clicking on any of the links at the...
Gundam Be@rbrick
I suppose it was only a matter of time considering that they have a Be@rbrick version of just about EVERYTHING already... but needless to say I was quite pleased when I saw this in the local convenience store. Gundam everything here! Little toys so...
Gundam 00 'A Wakening Of The Trailblazer' - Full Movie Video
Props to G.G. for this post. Who in turn thanks someone named Seighart. Thank you too whoever you are!I haven't watched the whole movie but I did confirm that the link was good and that the file/video wasn't crap. Decently quality, no subs. Under...
Merry X-Mas!
Present for you! Choose one!Yukie Kawamura (Top Left), Ryoko Tanaka (Top Right), Hwang Mi Hee (Bottom Left) and Ai Shinozaki (Bottom Right). I choose Ai!Merry X-Mas guys! Hope you have a great one! I won't be recieving any Gundams from my non-exist...
PG Strike Freedom - Progress thus far: 3 - Painting
Starting with these pieces.Have to admit I'm a bit gun shy about painting considering some of the bad experiences I've had. I don't really want to prime as I'm just going from navy blue to black... Maybe I'll just lay off the enamels this time. Th...
模型战士Gunpla Builders Beginning-G Part.C
Who knows how long it will be on the net for so take a look while you can.I gotta say... Beargguy is really cute! I love the weapons! I also liked how the girl pilot (Rina) didn't know that it's a suit for underwater combat and it was trying to swi...
PG Strike Freedom - Wing Breakage
I can't say I'm surprised this happened considering how crappily this part was designed. All that weight from the wings supported but a part that is basically a 1cm/2mm piece of plastic. Impossible to tell what a piece of junk this is from the outs...
PG Strike Freedom - Progress thus far: 2 - Wings
Easily one of the most monotonous aspects of Gunpla that I've done (but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun). Luckily I'm doing all of this while enjoying some lessons on Quantum Physics so at least my mind is somewhat occupied while my body is on auto-...
PG Strike Freedom - Progress thus far
We all occasionally wonder where we came from.Regardless of the what the end result may be... I'm glad I bought this model.
The life and times...
I suppose there's no easy way to say these things so I'm just going to spit them out.I'm leaving Japan.I'm going back to Canada at the end of the January and I'll probably be staying for some time. At least a year. Probably longer. Depending on ho...
Red Frames
Sorry I've been out of circulation for a bit. I've been really busy and a lot's been going on. Hopefully I'll have the chance to make a post about it soon. Thanks G.G. for your concern. Just in a time of transition right now.That said, even thoug...
RG RX-78-2 Gundam - Leg repair
Long overdue post but here it is finally. As I was building the frame the leg broke because the joint was stiffer than the plastic. I guess I didn't work it loose gently enough, although I'm not really sure how I could have done it better. I'll be...
Delta Plus / Delta Gundam
I love the Delta Plus... but I love the Delta Gundam more. Actually the original reason why I wanted to buy the Delta Plus was just so that I could make the Delta Gundam. I was sure that I wasn't the only person that had that idea and sure enough ot...
Painting Copper
I saw this tutorial at FitchenFoo and couldn't help but marvel at the techniques this guy uses. I'm really a sucker for metallic paints and this guy has got his technique down it seems. Truly an inspriration.Worth a look. I think we can all learn...
Jeep Style
Defined by me as "A type of gunpla style that uses a considerable amount of metal after market parts, with the focus on high mechanical detail."Gallery here.I love the style but from a cost perspective... all those AM parts are probably worth about 3...
