September proved to be a "sucky" month as all sunny days have been washed away by torrential rains.
Not to mention life-energy-wasting overtime work at the office. Which, sad to say, continued on to a ghastly October.
Anyways, let's stop with that before I turn into a Dementor.
So.....my Char Zaku is done! Finally, yeah? I had to sneak in a "me" time one Sunday afternoon - just so I can panel line and do some easy pose shots.. hehehe I had fun, to say the least. I did everything while my Mom's in the background working on her laptop. teehee
I use a technical pen and a standard ink to panel line my models. Most of it doesn't last after a good deal of posing, especially if you keep touching that certain area (e.g. knees, arms) and you have well, in some cases, sweaty hands. Well, I'm an official noob and I keep forgetting to top coat after panel lining... meh.
As it is, I have an affinity for girly poses so you can already guess what I did on this set.
What I love most about this unit is it's super pose-ability despite looking massive and tense.
Enjoy!
First bad boy pose
A bit of Freddie Mercury
Action pose!
Those skirts never got in the way.

Here he is having a chat with Exia. "Am I that pink, mate?"
Zaku with the wrong blonde.
On a Zeon Action Base! Action Packed! A poor instagram shot
Since, October is in the chair and the Red Comet's unit is done, I guess it's time for the next project... to wait again! Hahaha It is easily hypothetical what my next project is.
Augh! I have to envy my friends who went to the Gunpla Expo in Singapore and in Manila. I could have easily gone to the Manila expo... the weather just didn't cooperate. I did attend the Otaku Expo with two of my Gunpla Otaku friends where there was a Gunpla Caravan and some model building competition... which I didn't cooperate in (obviously because I am a noob).
There's this new Gundam series titled Gundam Build Fighters, it should be fun, don't you think? Here's an episode 1 I found on Youtube (already, right?)! Enjoy!
Here's a side by side with the earlier Ver 2.0 for comparison:
Aaaand here's a look at the promised expansion set excluded from the deal, look at that decal sheet:
Gunplars are claiming the unit to be an upscaled version of the 1/144 RG Rx-78-2 Gundam and would be a waste of time to acquire, however, I wouldn't know since I haven't bought any of the earlier versions!
I think it's all very EXCITING, though! (yeah well, maybe coz' I don't have an RX78-2 yet!)
So I just realized that Ver Ka's are for standing poses. Well, that lot's a bit of a downer.
But I still love this model, the colors are so fucking bright! It's an awesomely candy colored figure! It stands out actually.
I'm still a way off from completing this though, the shield and the rifle are still waiting for assembly.
Well, I completed the gundam unit just days ago, and here's some annoying unartistic photos which despite the lack of focus, I like to show around. Some of it you've seen from my last post, I guess. Haha.
Like the Epyon, I posed him like Prince Cedie without his Wings.
Just posing him that way looks a bit awkward...
Much better!
Way out of focus, girl!
Nice, nice...
"OMG, where's my V-fin?!"
Sitting pretty! ^_^
I tried doing what Gaijin Gunpla does on his models. He absolutely stood there all day like that.
While I was having fun posing him around (well, taking different angles of one pose is more like it), his v-fin keep falling off so I did the best thing and super glued it to that mofo of a head.
The decals are going to come in later, I read they were a pain in the ass to stick on, especially they were absolutely minute details. Seems exciting!
Yesterday, my brother celebrated his 20th birthday, and relatives came to party. One little cousin of mine, Deus, was excited to see my small collection and wanted to get his picture taken with the set. He was all smiles looking and pointing at the mecha and I could really see his amazement! And for that one brief moment, I could almost say, "This is why I build Gunpla." Here's his pic!
With vacations and get-a-ways happening and being planned, an on-and-off relationship with my model kits is inevitable. Not to mention I haven't been to managing my pre-orders. T_T
The Wing Gundam Ver. Ka I've been working on has already been postponed three times!
I'm just glad I had free time last Friday (my boss told me to skip work). I got to do Wing the whole day!
And because I'm such a slow noob worker, I only got to finish the unit - the awesome weapons and shield are left to be established another time....
So while those are waiting, I captured some noob shots of the Wing Gundam.
These are from my Instagram.
Early today me and my extended fam were out walking around this sweet mountaintop golf course in one of the country's cool tourist cities.
Anyways. Enjoyed a lot but suffered some cause you know, its a walk. Haha
Well, before I head back to my day job in the big Makati City tomorrow, I thought I'd share my latest development with the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka. Not that it's that big of an addition. LOL Noob alert!
As I completed the torso and arms yesterday, I pulled out my camera and started to fool around.
Birdie!
It reminds me of SailorMoon uniforms. LOL
You fold 'em down for when you transform into Bird Mode! Coolness
One does not simply imitate a very famous meme.
Come on, man, I'm not even complete yet!
BFFs!
Literally "hanging" around with good ol' buddy Epyon!
Well, now that the holidays are officially over, I'm gonna head out to the real world once again. I'll be coming back to finish him off next weekend! (I hope!).
And here's a view from today's getaway! My first time riding a funicular! >_<
So, as usual, I go over to Gaijin Gunpla's site to get me my review fix. It has been my past time when I'm not busy (!?) at the office. The one review I've been going over and over again is the one for the MG Sinanju Ver. Ka. I believe it is such a fantastic kit, I must have it in the near future - where every move I make shall be planned and concise as to bring it to its deserved awesomeness. *_*

Well, you can imagine my excitement after reading Gaijin's review - this other review punched the kebabs out of me (!): MG Sinanju Titanium Finish Review by Zane Gunpla. I am so impressed by how it was completed, it actually took my breathe away. It made me fall in love with the kit even more!!!
Zane Gunpla's MG Sinanju Ver. Ka Titanium Finish
The dreamer that I am, I checked out both of their prices online. And then the dream faded away instantly.
Aw. *crazy laughing*
Anyway, I still got the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka to get back to by the weekend!!! Aw! And below is Gundam Guy's painted build that is totally awe-inspiring!
