March Updates

Sorry for the late updates once again. I had been busy with my work and studies as always. But this month or rather this week, Singapore is mourning over the passing of our founding father Lee Kuan Yew. Although I had never met him in person, but through reading his books I felt like I had met him up close. I had went to Parliament House to paid my last respect to the great leader on the first day of the Lying in State which is on Wednesday. I will not emphasis on his achievements and visions on here again as the local news media had been talking about it for this entire week. But nonetheless, a salute to him from me, and from Sazabi.

Ok back to the main topic. As I had mentioned previously, my kit for my GBWC entry is still in progress but has been slowed due to shortage of spray paints (due to my budget restrains). But during this shortage season, I had gathered enough crafting materials to experiment on certain parts, like a stand to make certain parts as though they were flying, and scratch build a few items as well. Honestly speaking I had no experience in scratch building stuffs, so bear with me while I'm figuring this out myself through tutorials and advice lol...

Lastly, as most people would have know, that Bandai is now producing MG Wing Fenice Rinascita, the next master grade kit after Exia Dark Matter for GBF series. I might be getting this alongside with Exia Dark Matter (I had it originally, but I sold it to my friend who wanted it more).

Also these 4 cute Puchigguys would be coming out in May 2015 as well. It is fitting to buy all 4 of them as a set rather than buying one by one. Yes, they were sold separately at 500 Yen (at HLJ).

February Updates (Delayed >.<)

Sorry for the late updates! Had been busy with work, study, Chinese New Year, etc, etc... I hadn't build any straight assembled Gunpla recently. But I had bought the MG Exia Dark Matter for myself but my friend wanted it more than I do, so I sold it to him at friend price. I could always wait for another one when HAG/HAW got them, I'm not in a hurry anyway lol.. I did got the Aila Jyrkiäinen figurine so that's okay for me haha... I will take a few shots of her when I got time, perhaps maybe next week or so.

The reason why I didn't really intend to build any Gunpla kits so soon is that I'm currently working on my custom build PG Unicorn based on God Mobile Suit project, which is also the kit I'm intending to participate in this year's GBWC. Spray painting for this kit is gonna be tough, as I will be separating all the parts from runners and spray painting individually. So just for this project I will be doing them in Phases. So currently now the first phase, I'm cutting each pieces out from the runners (including the white armor), the next phase would be fixing in the metal pieces onto certain white armors, and the next phase would be spray painting 1 color for all parts at one time. In between I would be doing some experimentation on certain stuffs ranging from diorama (a simple one, don't expect too much from me lol) to the kit's poses. I should able to complete it on time before the competition starts, assuming no disruptions or delay. This is what I planned up to now, I will make up the rest of the phases as I go along lol..

During my busy schedule, I did a little cleaning up to my HMS and DMS page and combined them into one page that's called the "Mobile Suit Gundam Mythical Century (MC)". So this would be my fan-made timeline for my HMS, DMS and GMS kits. Story-wise I'm still writing and would be updated once I added more kits to the DMS project to work on (After when I'm done with the PG Unicorn custom build that is lol...). Anyway, the link to my Fan-made timeline is up above which below the banner, or you can click down as well.

That's about it for this month. See you next for the next blog updates! XD

[Completed][MG] DMS-01 'Dark Unicorn Emperor' Unicorn Banshee Painted Build [Updated 14th February 2015]

Project Name:
DMS-01 Dark Unicorn Emperor

Armaments:
- Dark Flame Saber x2 (At Backpack)
- Dark Flame Blade x2 (Usable when Flame of Vengeance mode is activated)
- Dark Petal Shield x1

Special Ability (Normal Mode):
- Shield Slash Throws Shield to slash opponents)
- Flame of Vengeance (Awakening mode, amplifies all abilities)

Special Ability (Awakening Mode):
- Overwhelm (Overloads energy into opponent's internal flame and explodes)
- Flaming Blades of Fury

First kit to mark the start of my new project, the Darkness Mobile Suit project. This wasn't really part of my DMS plan initially until I realized that I still had enough leftover parts from my Banshee Norn and plus I still had the red Psycho Frame parts still not used, so I was thinking "Why not just make something out of it under the DMS project?" So voila, there we have it, the Dark Unicorn Emperor lol...

This is not part of Project Evolution, so it's two different Unicorns. They are like brothers fighting with each other. That's about it for now lol.. Until when I'm more or less figured out how the plot goes, this is as much as I can made up now lol...

This kit won't be subjected to much focus as I'm only using leftover Unicorn parts but still would be putting in the same effort as of what I do with my HMS kits normally. But however, for this DMS project it will have two Emperors. The other Emperor will be the epic one and as ausual, the last kit to be build lol...

No Armed Armor XC and DE in this kit, maybe considering the DE... (I still got the bootleg DE parts lol...)

List of parts used for this kit:
- MG Unicorn Banshee Norn (without chest mane, Armed Armor DE & XC) as the base
- Red Psychoframe parts from MG Unicorn OVA
- Water decal sheet from MG Unicorn Banshee Titanium Finish Version
- Special Beam effect parts from HD Builders bonus pack

List of Tamiya Spray Paint used:
- TS-06 Matt Black (For main armor parts)
- TS-85 Bright Mica Red (For selected armor parts)
- TS-38 Gun Metal (For Darkened Internal Frame)
- Light Gray Primer Surfacer (1st coating for priming, for selected armor parts)

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...
