[NG] Elyn Hobby 'Kastrysha' (aka Kshatriya) Part 01

I have been eyeing this kit for really really really really long time, an dI finally made the decision to buy it.

This is not Bandai product of course, but this is something Bandai could not able to produce due to it's complexity, huge part counts, many screws and LEDs all over it. Sadly the company, which is Elyn Hobby, that made this has closed it's production line due to legal issues. But anyway, I hope I don't encounter issues that other people are facing with and able to overcome them and finish it =)

Some Updates from me XD

I recently had some inspirations for my Holy Set kits, but I'm currently out of paint and still lack of proper tools!!! Well, I had been busy with my studies plus Chinese New Year is around the corner so I didn't really touch much on them. But I did some planning for my Wing Gundam Proto Zero in terms of it's paint job last week, and I proudly named it as "Holy Wing Proto Zero" project. Sounds great right lol...

Besides that, I had also plans to do more paint jobs for 2 more kits, also Holy theme. But currently the kits needed were not yet available so there's nothing much for me to do except to give them a name each for these 2 upcoming projects. Tentatively for now, I'm naming them as "Holy ReZEL Guard" and "Holy Unicorn Emperor" project respectively. From the names you should know what kit I'm intending to use so I won't elaborate too much on that lol...

Custom paint jobs aside, I finally made a decision to buy this.

Yup... You are not dreaming. This is real LOL! I really bought this even though I know it's not Bandai product but it was too awesome and tempting to make me buy it lol... I really want to build it but as I said earlier, I'm still lacking of proper tools and stuffs, so to make up for that, I have order a number of hobby tools from HLJ. Once my last order has been paid, I will be compiling everything I had in my Private Warehouse and ship them off to my home by next Monday so I can get things started after Chinese New Year lol...

So that's about it for now. I will busy this week so I might not post anything on this blog unless something great (Like the Unicorn Phenex) was announce lol

So here's wishing everyone an early Happy Chinese New Year!!! XD

[MG] GN-001 Gundam Exia Ignition Mode Celestial Being MS Part 02

Finally I had some time to finish this kit off... And because I'm building it as Exia Repair, I'm actually relieved of doing certain parts lol...

No.. I did not lose any parts... That's just Exia Repair lol...

[MG] GN-001 Gundam Exia Ignition Mode Celestial Being MS Part 01

I watched Gundam 00 recently, mostly it's 2nd season, and let's just say I have some great interest in Exia and whatever variations it has. This kit is pretty much another Exia, added with chrome silver parts for it's GN Blades and stuffs but the main thing of this kit is that it also includes parts that allows you to make Exia into Exia Repair kit. So for this kit I'm making an Exia Repair instead lol...

Note: Obviously I have not done panel lining for this kit. Tomorrow or maybe in the later days I will work on it and the rest.

[MG] RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Full Psycho Frame MS Titanium Finish Ver

I have been searching for this kit for many months, ever since I bought the Banshee Titanium finish kit. I looked everywhere but the price offered was way off my budget (SGD$600+) so I KIV it until last week I went to surf eBay and found one seller selling this at SGD$380, and also the cheapest I can find. So I bought it off lol...

I'm going to build this in Destroy mode cos firstly I built this a lot previously so there's no need for me to build it in Unicorn mode and secondly, I'm still scared to do it's transformation when all the part joints are so freaking tight!

Display Cabinet Getting Full There...

My display cabinet was bought 3 months ago and it's all filled up really fast! Here's a re-cap of my display cabinet when it first delivered to my house lol...

And then I begin to put in some of my gundam kits which I had build initially...

And now this is how my display cabinet looks like, fully utilized lol...

That's insane right lol!!!

I think it's about time to get another display cabinet, which I'm planning to buy from V.Hive by end of this month. If I don't, I don't know where to put my Gundam Build Fighters MG kits already LOL!!! Hopefully they still have stock for this cabinet as I'm quite pleased with this one...

[10] Misc Gundam Pose - The Three ReZEL-teers

Before anyone notice, that is my blanket as backdrop for your info XD I know it's not the most glamorous backdrop but that would do for now lol...

I came up with this catchy name because there are 3 ReZEL variations to begin with lol...

Click on 'Red More' to view more pics of them lol...

[MG] RGZ-95C ReZEL Type C (Defenser a+b Unit) E.F.S.F. MS Part 03

This last part of ReZEL Type C covers only posing and transformation to Waverider mode. The more I did it's transformation, the more better it gets, especially when I finally understand what the manual was trying to illustrate the third time lol...

[MG] RGZ-95C ReZEL Type C (Defenser a+b Unit) E.F.S.F. MS Part 02

This post is all about ReZEL Type C's Defenser 'a' and 'b' backpack unit and it's weapons, and we are done with posing left lol...

Basic Backpack unit without any add-on

[MG] RGZ-95C ReZEL Type C (Defenser a+b Unit) E.F.S.F. MS Part 01

This is the third and last variation of ReZEL that features the Defenser 'a' and 'b' unit as seen in Unicorn Gundam anime. Having to build the previous two ReZELs and the size of them, it seems to get bigger and bigger, and I'm not even sure if I have still room to put the last ReZEL in my display cabinet lol... I might need to get another new display cabinet this month if this goes on lol...

Side note here, I might have some paint job ideas for this ReZEL Type C, inspired based on my competition kit... I will figure that out later but main thing is, I'm gonna need to get another ReZEL Type C kit if my idea gets through lol...

Latest Arrival from HLJ... And Finally... That One Package I Was Waiting For As Well!!!

Firstly, let's talk about the stuffs I got form HLJ haha =P click "Read More" to view more contents XD

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Original Soundtrack Volume 1 - 3

I wasn't expecting this to be arriving on Saturday. But it did came, which is good for me too. The earlier they arrive the better lol...

Anyway, finally I managed to got hold of these 3 OST albums from Gundam Unicorn series, which I liked the most.

Click on 'Read More' if you want to know more details of each of these albums.

Hobby Art Gallery (HAG) has finally gotten the stock of Metal Build Destiny Gundam! For those who have previously pre-ordered can now collect it at either HAG or HAW and those who didn't can call in to check if they have any more stocks for walk-in sale.

[Updatge 10 Jan 2014] Latest Haul From HLJ for January 2014

First post made in Year 2014! XD

To begin with, before touching on my Force Impulse, I'm shipping out my remaining items in Private Warehouse as they have been kept in there for quite too long. And I must also apologize that I didn't take any pics of my last shipment as the package went straight to my workplace (as requested by me due to conveniently gather my friends' birthday presents) on Monday and so it was kinda rush when I went to open it first and get those that are mine (mainly the ReZEL Commander, Force Impulse and Hobby Japan Jan 2014 magazine) before going back home yesterday.

But anyway, here's the last batch of items that was bought in Year 2013 XD

So this time, this ReZEL Type C is mine, and I got another Beargguy, which is for my friend's birthday present which I will move it back there, and another Wing Gundam Proto Zero that I wanted to do some spray painting on.

And so that concludes my stuffs for Year 2013, and I'll be ready to receive whatever new kits that are releasing in Year 2014, with Gundam Build Fighters series MG kits to start off with lol...

*Update 2 Jan 2014: The folks at HLJ are currently taking their break and will be resuming back to business on 6th January 2014. So I'm guessing that my shipment will arrive somewhere on the 8 Jan... Anyway, no hurry for me as long as I have cleared out those outstanding stuffs that has been hold up in my Private Warehouse for too long lol...*

*Update 10 Jan 2014: Finally it has shipped out lol... Will be receiving it next Monday lol...

- Vic

Taking a break for now...

I'm currently taking a short break from Gunpla building for now as I'm still waiting for shipment from HLJ. Apparantly the folks from HLJ came back from their break this week and I'm pretty sure that they're currently busy processing all the orders that were accumulated for the past few weeks so that's totally understandable for me, I'm in no rush to get them anyway lol... Now that I'm on my break, I could now put my focus back to my gaming which I haven't did for quite a long time, and catch up with my friends on what I have missed and so on.

 For the latest shipment this month, it could be alot, I'm still waiting for the Metal Build Destiny, a couple of repeated stuffs from HLJ which consist some as birthday presents to my friends, and I recently purchased the Unicorn Gundam Original Soundtrack album (3 volumes total), straight from Japan.

For the items I'm getting from HLJ, I had some ideas of spray painting ReZEL Type C to match with the theme my competition kit is. I also ordered another Wing Gundam Proto Zero, which I had plans to do spray painting but currently having little or no idea on what color to apply it on yet. And another Beargguy III, properly built, top coat it and case it, no plans to spray paint it lol...

I have also recently, and finally made the decision to purchase Unicorn Gundam Banshee Titanium Finish version =D I will ship that next month and will build it together with Unicorn Gundam Phenex, which will be coming in at the end of next month (around there I guess...) Speaking of titanium finish, I had been searching for the unicorn gundam titanium finish Ver Ka for months, which I have never really talked much about it yet due to the fact that this kit has been discontinued for quite a few years already, I did see some other sellers who are selling it for very price which I think it's a bit ridiculous... Esitmated SGD$600+ for that is kind of a rip off for me... But I did managed to find one seller selling it at SGD$390 on eBay. So currently I ordered it from him/her and will update again once the seller has shipped it out lol...

That's the lot for now. I will update again if I got anything new lol...

[MG] RGZ-95 ReZEL Commander E.F.S.F Mass Production MS Part 03

Finally something different for ReZEL Commander.. A slightly different backpack, and a giant beam rifle lol...

[MG] RGZ-95 ReZEL Commander E.F.S.F Mass Production MS Part 02

Today I managed to have some time to work on ReZEL Commander's lower body part lol... There's not much of difference from ReZEL's lower body, but still it's just one of my habits to take pics of it lol...

[MG] RGZ-95 ReZEL Commander E.F.S.F Mass Production MS Part 01

This is another variation of ReZEL. It's the Commander version as seen on Unicorn Gundam Episode 2, pilot by Norm Basilicock. I bought this and ReZEL Type C together as they were kind of like a set, plus my ReZEL alone is lonely by itself lol so came this decision to get together as a set, which I might do some interesting pose for the three of them in future once all 3 ReZELs are completed =)

[09] Unicorn Gundam on Fire???

Friend of mine did some simple photoshop of adding fire to my pic of Unicorn Gundam stepping out of the cage, re-enacting that part in the anime series Episode 1 lol...

I know and very well aware that the Unicorn's horn got cut off. Don't have to remind me on that lol...

- Vic

[MG] RGZ-95 ReZEL E.F.S.F. Mass Produced Transformable MS Part 03

Managed to finished the backpack and it's weapons. Now to mount them, do some pose and transform it into Waverider mode, which I've suffered the most in this part lol...

[MG] RGZ-95 ReZEL E.F.S.F. Mass Produced Transformable MS Part 02

Okay... So I came back from my training, took a shower and had my dinner and still have some time off to finish off ReZEL's lower body lol...

I also wanted to point out that ReZEL's joints are really tight... I just hope that it doesn't break after a few rounds of turning, and I would probably be experiencing this again with ReZEL Commander and Type C lol...

And lastly, I also wanted to point out that ReZEL looks nice for some weird reasons lol...

[MG] RGZ-95 ReZEL E.F.S.F. Mass Produced Transformable MS Part 01

I had this kit shipped together with my Sazabi Ver Ka and Perfect Zeong to share out the shipping fee so that it becomes cheaper when more items are packed together.

ReZEL has 2 more variations, which is ReZEL Commander and ReZEL Type C. This ReZEL, is just a normal ReZEL lol... I have the Commander and 2 more Type C (one for my friend's bday) coming my way very soon but for now, I will touch on this normal ReZEL lol...

[SD] BB RX-93-V2 Hi-Nu Gundam Part 02

Finally got the chance to finish this kit lol... Just left it's weapons and do some bit of posing lol...

[SD] BB RX-93-V2 Hi-Nu Gundam Part 01

This is another present from my friend who also bought me Beargguy III lol... It's good anyway cos I was already set my sights on this for a long time, just that I needed a reason to buy lol... I only decided to choose this cos Bandai is going to release a newer SD kit of Nu Gundam. So yeah, that's the reason I'm sticking with lol...

[MG] ZGMF-X56S Alpha Force Impulse Gundam Z.A.F.T. MS

This has been holding up in HLJ's Private Warehouse for long enough, so I ship it out before HLJ ship it for me, which I didn't want them to lol... This is probably going to be my last MG kit for SEED series, unless Bandai decided to make something new for them, which I doubt it would happen, then I will consider about it by then lol...

I'm doing a fast build on this. Just clean up the nub marks and no panel line.
