Holidays are slow days for Gundam

I haven't done any work on my model kits these days - it definitely feels like, forever!

Any ways, progress is absolutely slow on my side. What with the holidays and time-consuming shopping sprees looking for gifts that only a number of people will appreciate. As they say, "It's better to give than to receive."

Plus, been busy with other things - some pre-orders came in this month, and well, nostalgia follows. Also, Gundam Build Fighters is absolutely building up... excitement! Not to mention Kill La Kill!

Figma 200 Hatsune Miku 2.0 - my first!!! ^_^

The family's getting bigger - I gotta get me my own shelf!

They have Constantine and the Dean brothers,
 we have Trese. 

A second piece for OnePiece -
an SCultures Princess Shirahoshi

Best thing with my holiday so far is, I got this kawaii SD 00 Gundam Seven Sword G from the raffle at the office! Someone didn't want it, I guess. Built it in an hour or so, soon as I got home. Cute as hell.

Uhuh yeah! Also got that Gaiman book on my wishlist! 

Teeny-weeny arms - my first SD.

Anyway, here's some work-in-progress on the RX-78-2 Ver. 3.0!!! 

I was shopping at this surplus shop in Makati and found these.
Perfect.

Se detailed.

The instructions are very adept.

I like that these plates (?) have a hue difference.

Having some fun.

The torso as built.

Pilots from previous models:
Char Aznable, Heero Yuy and Zechs Merquise

Testing the head on some LED light.

The difference panel lining can make!

These. Arrr.

Very time consuming.

Then someone told me I could have done with a gold/bronze
Artline marker. LOL

Testing the head again - well, admiring it this time - with a pink LED unit.

Arms done, yo!

A "side-by-side" comparison.

I did not like what happened
 to those stickers after installing the parts in.

But, it still rocks, though!

SUMMER is for GUNPLA!

MARCH is the start of SUMMER here in our side of the Pacific!

And one thing you can remember in SUMMER: SALE!

Promos abound the networks starting this month until the rainy season in AUGUST!

Let's see...

Well my suki (patronized) store, is already promoting their sale on model kits and figures. Prices are reeeeeeally down! They even literally "slashed" the prices on the site just to prove it. Hehehe

Most of the items are now Php 500 or 300 less

Oh, well, I'm hoping I'd get a chance to buy this time - what with all the expenses on planned travels and outings to cool off the scorching heat of the season. >_<

Aww, Fantasy mode on. *_*

I would really like to get these kits for my boring-nothing-else-to-do summer days (as boring as my day job would permit it):

Just look at those curves.

Heavyarms. 'Nuff said.

Because, I'm in love with Char.

Maybe you noticed, all my wanted kits are bulky - and a bit on the red. I think I'm starting on the "red" side of the Gundam color wheel (if there ever is one). The only MG kit I have on the normal blue-red-white color scheme is the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka and it's a work-in-progress. I'm very excited about it, actually.

I also want to try out putting on top coat on my existing kits - I've bought three cans already and they're sitting idly back home. There's a lot of tutorial on the web. I wonder when I'll be able to do that...

Anyways, these days are full of day-job responsibilities. I'm betting I won't be able to finish the Wing till the end of the month. Aw.
