January 2015 Blog Updates!

Yes I know it's been quite some time already... January 2015 was a hectic month at work, and my part-time degree study had resumed on Monday (and will be going on for the next 11 more Mondays lol...) and I'm still in the state of recovering from my own little financial "crisis" so I have not been building anything for so long, and no time to update my blog too lol...

Anyway, I'm still wanting to build some Gunpla kits and I was waiting for Bandai's next upcoming MG kit for Gundam Build Fighters series. Here's a boxart I got from Gundam Guy's blog,

Yup... That's what coming up for next month February lol... I'm so looking forward to build this. Probably re-using the Exia's runners, all others like the backpack and it's swords were new molds. And this is kinda also my source of inspiration for my DMS project, which is still alive by the way haha...

Speaking of my DMS project, I really should head down to buy spray paints already... I'm hoping to get the colors I wanted by this week... My Dark Unicorn Emperor parts were all ready to be spray painted lol... I'm setting a benchmark to test out the color combinations on this kit, so if I'm satisfied with the outcome, I will use it regularly on my next upcoming kits that are under the DMS project.

Lastly, I know I had said previously that my Holy Unicorn Emperor would be the last kit for the HMS project, but after building the PG Unicorn it had me thinking over it that I should build PG Unicorn again and will be build under the HMS project. As to whether if I want to get another LED set and how to make the psychoframe parts to be clear gold and whatnot, is still under planning and would be experimenting when I can get another one if my finicial budget allows me to.

So yeah, that's about it for this month's updates. I will update again on the next month!

[Completed][PG] RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Full Psycho-Frame Prototype MS (With LED Unit) - [Updated 17th January 2015]

Yes!!! The Beast of Possiblities has arrived finally!!! =D I was already accepting the fact that it will only comes in at the end of the month, and then suddenly, Bang! It arrived lol... I went there first thing right after Hobby Art posted an update about it an hour or so ago.

This marks my 4th Pg kit and also the most expensive out of the 3 PGs I had. LED unit was purchased seperately so it's not compulsory to have it with the PG kit.

*Update: Let me finish up my Rick Dom first, this was really unexpected lol...

[Completed][MG] MS-09R Rick-Dom Principality of Zeon Mass Productive MS - [Updated 25th December 2014]

Initially I wanted to save my free time to build the PG Unicorn, but since it's has "destined to be arriving by end of this month from HAW, I had no choice but to get this to kill some time. I had always wanting to get this, seeing that this guy was so popular among the builders as grunt units were the easiest to customize.

Side note here... Build Burning Gundam not included. Cos ppl still got mind blown that a gundam was actually hidden in a Dom from the 1st episode of GBF Try lol...

December Updates!

Last month of the year... then it would be a brand new year for 2015 haha... I have more spare time to build Gunplas now, but problem now is I have nothing to build!!!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....!!!!!! I was actually wanting to get the PG Unicorn and build it during this spare time but HAW said that the stocks would be coming in by end of this month. Did I hear wrongly? End of this month?!?!??!!

I should have pre-ordered them from HLJ, should have paid for it last Friday and have it ship out immediately EMS, and should have gotten it either since 2 days ago or the latest is today! Even GG Inifinite had gotten their stocks in more earlier too. What kind of logic is this =.=?

Ok end of my little rant (I had to vent it out) but I'm hoping that their stocks won't come in exactly on the end of the month but maybe a week before end of the year at least? So my time is kind of wasted, and I had to find alternative things to do for now... Even if it did arrive on the end of the month, I don't even know if I got the time again to build it as I'm resuming my part-time degree studies again next year, and school re-opening (my workplace) would be busy too, with all the new students coming in and all...

As I only have enough budget to get the PG Unicorn, so I'm not able to get any spray paints for the time being too so my DMS project had to be put on hold again... My 3-color rule for DMS has already been confirmed so I'm just waiting to get the spray paint and I can get to work on my Dark Unicorn Emperor some time around next year February I hope...

All that aside, if anyone could recall my recent blog post of my Beargguy F Family and Nightingale, A fellow Gunpla builder suggested to me that I should add speech bubbles to my kits. Actually it was my Beargguy F Family poses that I made that got this idea started and then followed by Nightingale. So I did a bit of work on the pics using Gimp and here's the end result.

Strict parents lol...

Inspired from 'Anaconda' song lyrics lol...

So yeah, I added some speech bubbles, and I made them more funnier lol... 

That's about it for this month, I will see you in my next blog update in January 2015! XD

[Completed][RE] MSN-04II Nightingale Neo Zeon Char Aznable's Use MS - [Updated 15th December 2014]

Finally gotten this kit that I always wanted, the gorgeous Nightingale =D

And also the first ReBorn 100 kit I have, and most likely the second biggest kit next to Neo Zeong. Bandai can't make this into an actual MG of it so that's why they came up with this new line whereby there's no inner frame but still able to present more details and also better articulation in it.

Like the Neo Zeong, I'll be working on this kit over the Saturdays at my workplace and I'll post all the pics when I've done assembling and before top coating.

I'm placing this on my work table for sure lol...

[Completed][HG] Beargguy F (Family) Mirai Kamiki's Mobile Suit - [Updated 12th December 2014]

This Beargguy kit never fails to impress me, and now it comes with a smaller bear. Such cuteness there awwww...!!!!

This was part of the Gundam Build Fighter Try series, new season lol... I'm still hoping Bandai would make a MG size of these, or the original Beargguy III lol...

[Completed][MG] RX-93-V2 Hi-Nu Gundam Ver. KA Amuro Ray's Customize MS - [Updated 7th December 2014]

It's a while since I last build my kits lol... I'm kinda back from my short hiatus of building Gunpla but won't be doing as much as I did last time lol... To start things off, I finally got this kit, which is what I wanted all along too alongside with Nightingale but sold out lol... I bought it at a promotional price at Hobby Art Work so it's quite worth the buy lol...

I do have some plans on customizing this as part of my Dark Mobile Suit project... But it's tentative, so it's not confirm yet lol...

November Blog Updates

Another quiet month has passed, and I have no Gunplas to build (or can't start building one due to lack of stuffs) currently. Though I have interest in getting Nightingale and still wanna start work on my Darkness Mobile Suit Project Kits, but I really wanted to secure the PG Unicorn first before buying anything else, so yeah lol...

But anyway for the past few days I had been playing around with Gimp (a free image editing software) editing some of my Holy Mobile Suit kit pictures.

This is the first image I did, for my desktop wallpaper lol.. Standard resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Click to enlarge

Then I had this idea of making my Holy Unicorn Emperor's psycho frame glowing lol...

Click to enlarge

Then I had an idea of redesigning an image for my Facebook cover pic lol...

I will try to find some time to re-design a new cover pic for my Facebook page and for this blog as well. That's pretty much the updates for this month, just having fun with photo editing lol... Next month will be expecting the PG Unicorn so hurray for that lol...
