Merry Christmas!!

An update to the blog that never gets updated and when it does get updated, the topic is totally different. :)

Merry Christmas virtual visitors... if you guys even exists hehe

Update? Nah

Still no motivation finish my RX-78 unfortunately. Still busy with Anime and games. :)

I also think I would need to buy a new airbrush as I may have stepped on it accidentally. :D

And I'm back!!

Well, I didn't really go away, just didn't have time to continue making em gunplas. The RX-78 is still in the same condition from 3 months ago.

It's tough being a gamer, an avid anime fan and a gunpla hobbyist but I suppose being a gamer and watching anime comes first for me. And with Battlefield 3 being released, I've gotten less motivated to get my gunpla done. :)

Hopefully by the time I get my BluRay copy of Unicorn Vol 4 in December. I'll get my motivation back. :)

For now, I'm happily gaming(BF3, MGS HD Collection, FFXIII) and watching anime.

PG RX-78-2 Gundam 30th Anniversary EX Finish - Head Unit #01

So I finally started doing my Perfect Grade one. I have to say, it looks really nice.

The inner stuff of the head.

All the parts without the armour. As with all PG version (afaik anyway), all head unit lights up.

Full assembled. Light switched on. I turned off the flash of my camera otherwise you wont see how it looks.

Same thing with the light switched off.













I've finished doing the right arm but I wont put it up until I've done the left arm. :)
It's looking really good and to be honest, I kinda like it more than my old PG Astray Red Frame at the moment.

I've got some new pens too but I'll post it some other time.

More Kotobukiya. 2nd post already?

Well, I quickly went to Dalong's website to check his version of the Noblesse Oblige and he/she actually has one luckily.

Just wanted to show/compare how it looks without all the panel lining I did to it. Luckily the one on his/her website doesn't have any panel linings.

Quite a difference w/o panel lining.

It's August and it's done!!

That's right, my CR-Hogire Rosenthal is finally finish.

I suppose I couldn't be bothered posting bit-by-bit updates about it. Probably wont be doing it anymore but we'll see. I do change my mind very quickly.

Anyways, here's the finished model.

By the time I took this, I still haven't finished the 2nd gun. The problem is, the gun is made out of only 3 or 4 pieces of plastic so I had to actually (and properly for the first time :)) use a masking tape. The golden parts on the gun as you can see aren't separated from the rest.

Here's another one I've taken. Weird pose I know. I'm not used to making poses because every time I do, some parts keeps falling off. :)

Here's one compared to my MG 1/100 Shin Musha Gundam. When I first finished the legs on the Rosenthal, I thought it was going to be bigger than the MG.

And here's the last pic of it. Complete with both guns. Was so relieved when I finished it. :)









I'm now planning to do my PG RX78-2 Gundam. Even though I've got 4 or 5 more gunplas that I bought much earlier than the PG, I kinda don't feel like doing them... for some reason. Might have to do the Strike Noir first before I do the Sinanju(I want this one to be properly done, so I'm keeping it for now until I get used to doing airbrushing properly)..

X-Japan came and went

So I had the chance to finally see them perform live here in London. They started off their European tour here which was pretty awesome. One ticket seller nearly botched it for me though... f**kin bastard.

Anyways, when I arrived at Shepherd's Bush Empire, I was surprised how long the queue was. I was in it for an hour or so and people still kept coming. I would've also loved to get one of those X-Japan tees but there was another queue for that so I said f**k it.... but I kinda regret it not buying them now. :)

This was printed red on the black t-shirt.

If they ever come back again in London, I'll definitely get one t-shirt for sure.

Oh and their new single Jade is out now... I'm waiting for a new album cause I'm not really into singles.

More Kotobukiya soon. :)
