Kanpei Gundam #02

Right... 2 days in a row update. :)

Done this a few days ago, I still suck at panel lining. I'll get used to it one day.

Did this earlier. Took a while to colour 'em as it's a mixture of 3 different colours on a single small piece of plastic. I managed somehow so it's all good.

I primered the pieces first and it turned out quite nicely.








Will do the rest some other time as usual. :)

After 1 month -- Motorbike & Gundam

I'm back again.

Motorbike is doing great. Was a bit hard to tame it as it was quite a power jump from 125cc to 645cc but I managed. A few days ago I saw a tiny shard of glass sticking inside the tire that made me panic a bit because the motorbike is brand new and only done about 350 miles. I took out the shard yesterday and to my relief, it wasn't stuck too deep. Pic below:

Shard is stuck just below the tire tread, below the blue line.

My current bike btw with the IXIL Hyperlow exhaust.

Now for an update of Gunpla's, I've decided to put the Noblesse Oblige model aside for a bit and started doing one of my SD Gundam stuff.

Pix of the runners + stickers:

That's it for now... as usual, will post again whenever I feel like it. :)

It's here!!

Just went to the Suzuki dealer to pick up my new ride. :)

New Motorbike!!!

That's right!!

Finally managed to get nuff money for a new motorbike. Was initially planning to either get a Triumph Street Triple or the new Honda Hornet but... well, I couldn't thanks to 2 certain banks that got my hopes up and crushing it at the last moment.

Either way, thanks to a certain finance company, I managed to get myself a new Suzuki Gladius. :)
A lot cheaper than those 2 bikes I mentioned above but it's also heavier and has a smaller tank. Read great reviews about the Gladius so I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Oh and btw, I passed my DAS course. Both MOD1+2 passed on my first try with 3 minor faults.

That's the new Suzuki Gladius. 645cc, a 2 cylinder, DOHC, 90 degrees V-Twin engine.

Just look it up here :) :

For security:

Xena XPL Bullet Padlock

And the Almax Immobiliser Series IV Chain + Squire SS65C QC Lock

And finally the aftermarket exhaust - IXIL Hyperlow

And that's it. I'll probably make another update once I get the new bike later this afternoon. Can't wait. :)

W00t Updated!!

Well, it's been what... 4+ months or something since I posted? Doesn't really matter. :)

Main reason I suddenly stopped posting is because my motorcycle got stolen, less than a month after it was delivered to me. Fortunately, the loan payment for it was already planned otherwise, I'd probably have sold my TV/PC/PS3/games/etc... just to make up for the loss.

Now for the reason I'm posting. With the accident claim finally received, I now plan to get a new bigger bike. I've taken a Direct Access Scheme course so that I could ride any bike I want without engine restriction. My test is going to be on the 29th so good luck to me.

If everything goes accordingly, I'm going British. I'm purchasing a Triumph Street Triple at the beginning of or mid July. I'll be getting a new chain as those f**king thieves bolt-cropped the chain that I had so easily so I'm getting a 19mm chain link by a company called Almax. This is the chain I'm going to get. Not only am I going to get a chain, I'm also going to invest on a "Tracker Monitor" for motorbikes. So if the motorbike is moved without the key in the ignition, it'll alert the police straight away. The best part about Tracker is, it is also usable/trackable in Spain and France for a peace of mind. :)

Well, that's all the updates for now. Will probably post something once I passed my practical test in 3 weeks and got the bike.

Noblesse Oblige #02

Here's a small update of the Armored Core I'm doing.

Finished up a bit of the arm part. I'm now panel lining the parts I've done as I'm sure it's going to be a hassle if I do the panel lining after finishing the model.


Will be doing small updates in the meantime 'cause I'm busy playing games. :)
Well, that's all for now.

Happy new year!!!!

Well, not really and it's already the middle of February. :)

Anyways... I finally got my motorbike after more than 1 month of waiting for it because of the freezing weather in London. Also bought a new Dainese Santa Monica jacket and an AGV GP Tech helmet which I got very cheap during christmas sale.

As for gunpla updates, I actually planned to do the Strike Noir first but a post in Hongfire Gallery, made me want to do the Kotobukiya Armored Core first.

Finished these two which I believe is part of the shoulder. Will do some more tomorrow.
