I ordered some 1/144 scale FG models from Hobby Search and was excited to see they arrived. I ordered 6 and each one was 285 yen, so with EMS shipping charge of 2,800 yen I spent ~$47. What I actually got instead of 6 FG Gundam models was two Tamiya 1/48 scale German 3ton 4×2 [...]
Gundam
Zaku II version 2.0
I’ve picked up on making the Zaku II version 2.0 again and have completed the torso and head. It’s a good model and when I have it complete I’ll put the old 1995 version next to the 2007 version for comparisons. My kids love watching me build these. I have some left in the basement [...]
Fall Anime
I’ve picked up watching Gundam 00 Season 2 and the going is slow. I know it’s only the third episode but it’s really reminding me of Zeta Gundam. That’s probably an overreaction but if a Camille Biden clone shows up then I’m walking away from the series. The other show I’m starting is Ga Rei [...]
Gundam 00 Season 2 begins
The second season of Gundam 00 has begun. No huge surprises yet but this season seems to be imitating Zeta Gundam more and more. I’m pretty sure we’ve just met the group that will be this series Titans. I wonder how long it will be before Bandai produces a Master Grade 1/100 scale version of [...]
More HG Gundams
When I can I like to work on my Gundam models. It’s a hobby and it’s not computer related so that makes it a good thing. Both my kids enjoy watching me assemble the models and as an added bonus I build some just for them. They get to keep the models I make for [...]
Gundam 00 Episode 20
Char’s Exia? Episode 20 is good. Last time Lockon took a hit meant for Virtue and got injured. The UN and the world is serious about eliminating the Gundams. In this episode we see the Throne Gundams are essentially wiped out and Veda is completely compromised. The result of this is that the real Gundams [...]
Gundam 00 Episode 18
Well that did not take long. Episode 18 reveals more of the fact the the Throne Gundams are not Celestial Being. They use imitation Solar Generators and one of the observers is definetly a traitor. The three pilots are further revealed to be psychotic murderers. The girl Throne pilot massacred a wedding party that Louise [...]
Gundam 00 Episode 17
Now things are getting interesting. According to the last episode, Veda had no information regarding the new Gundams or their solar generators. In the beginning of episode 17 it looks like some people scavenged a station orbiting Jupiter 80 years ago. Celestial Being has a competing organization; it was from that station that the purple [...]
HG Gundam Exia assembled
Just finished assembling the HG Gundam Exia. It’s good and when the weather is warmer I’ll probably paint it. Except for the shoulders, the whole thing breaks up for easy painting. The Exia was built right after the HG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam was completed. Here is a picture of the completed model: Behind it are [...]
HG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam
Last week in Flushing I picked up a couple of MG Gundams with the kids. Both kids know I will build models for them so the boy picked the HG Justice Gundam and the girl picked the HG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam. I built his model first last time, so this time she gets her model [...]
