I Ordered Myself to Blog Today

Boy did I miss blogging!

4 months went by without touching this blog. I still haven't finished my HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 1. So here's what I got so far.

Head, torso, shield, rifle, and one arm. Then I worked on it again tonight.

Got the feet done. Plus the right arm.

And the left leg.

I'm loving the small details of the leg.

I'm really taking my time with this kit. I work on it whenever I have the spare time and if I'm in the right mood. The time-consuming part has been cleaning the nub marks. I've been trying my best to get rid of those unsightly marks from my models. I've been working on 1/144 scale models for so long and I'm not even sure if I can still handle an MG kit! I really want to get me an MG Exia, but I think the coming Blue Astray is calling my name too. I'm just hoping that I get to finish Blue Destiny before the year ends =)

Transformers

Still no progress with HGUC Blue Destiny. My attention has shifted to these babies recently.

Not really sure why I didn't get hooked on purchasing some toys when the first movie came out. Whenever I visit the hobby store back then, I would hear the store clerks on the phone entertaining queries and reservations for Transformers merchandise.

The first one I bought was Sideswipe. After seeing the movie, I decided that I'm gonna get myself that Autobot. I searched toystores in many malls here but they all ran out. All the other Transformers were still there except him! I got him from a seller on eBay. I was able to contact one seller who was offering the lowest price compared to the other sellers. But this one is overpriced by 6 US dollars compared to the mall price.

Next one I got was Barricade; the Premium version from the first movie. I didn't like the Interrogator version from the ROTF line. I've always thought that this toy was nice during the first movie, can't remember why I didn't buy one before.

I've already opened Barricade. And I think he needs minor repaints to improve the appearance. I've been visiting a lot of TF fan sites lately and found some pretty good customizing tutorials. So watch out for my future Transformers review.

Bouncy

I've started building HGUC Blue Destiny last week. I'm finished with the head and body. I'm just too lazy to take and upload pics and I haven't continued building it yet.

I have something else to show. I'm not sure if this has been passed around but I got the link from a friend. Click HERE. Page takes a while to download so just be patient.

Is this the new trend with 2D (or 3D) girls, singing with a leek?

I'm Saving My Dough For...

To be honest, this post was first intended to talk about the MG Exia and the K-ON Nendoroids.

I only started with Tekken when Tekken 5 came out. I can handle myself pretty well when playing on my PS2. But recently, I developed the interest to play the Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion in the arcades. There are so many good players here in the Philippines. And I'm getting my ass kicked. Seriously.

So now, I'm saving my money to buy myself a PS3, an arcade stick, and a decent HD TV. The console version of Tekken 6 is scheduled to come by the end of October, so I still have plenty of time to save some of my fresh-grad income. I've been wanting to get myslef a PS3 console, and now with tekken 6 coming out, I have decided to finally get me one by September. I can finally get my hands on the games I'm missing.

This means I can't buy any gunpla for now. I still have two pending projects; one is my 1/100 Red Astray which I got years ago, and an HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 1. So I guess those two will have to do for now. Maybe I can get the MG Exia by November. Did they announce the release date of the K-ON Nendoroids? I want Mio! I hope they include a Bump-on-the-head accessory for Ritsu since she gets at least one per episode whenever Mio whacks her.

HG Cherudim Gundam

Finally got my lazy self to take pics of Cherudim gundam. See more after the jump.

I think the Racing Green Tamiya Spray Can I used worked well. I almost got the British Green which is a lot darker and closer to the original color of the plastic, but decided to buy the Racing Green.

Same green highlighter trick as Gundam 00 for the clear orbs.

I didn't add detail to the GN Beam Pistols anymore. I kinda regret it coz it looks plain on the pics.

I like this pic =)





And GN-X makes another cameo.

I still have two kits on my to-do list, and they're not the two remaining mechas from Celestial Being. Arios and Seravee are still on the to-buy list.
