Oh Bandai. Just when I said I was going on a break, you come out of nowhere with these announcements that makes my wallet cringe… Anyways, on to news, I haven’t done these in a while haha. First big news, Master Grade Unicorn Banshee! I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who saw this coming, but I’m also pretty sure that this is the OVA version since it comes with the claw and the cannon. (is it a cannon?) Still not sure if it comes with the beam magnum and shield. Pictures are not clear enough to see if the psycoframe will be in clear orange or a frosty orange. Since I haven’t picked up the Full Armored Unicorn yet, this will be a worthy replacement. This comes out in march for 5500 yen.

Second big news is the next Real Grade, the RX-178 Gundam Mk 2. Going by the line art, it’s looking very nice. It’s not yet known if it’s the Titans or AEUG colors, but I have a feeling that it may be in AEUG colors. And of course, Bandai can then release the Titans colors, and I wouldn’t be surprise if they also decided to include the flying armor and g-denfensor (or whatever it’s call) in the future. April release for 2500 yen.

And to crush some people’s dreams, I have a very good feeling that a Real Grade Zeta Gundam will NOT be in the works. Why? Because if you make a RG Zeta that can fully transform as people will want it to, then it will be the most fragile kit in the world. It’s a loss-loss situation for the RG Zeta. If they can pull if off, I’ll be one of the first to tell you that I was wrong. On to HGUC stuff…

HG Delta Gundam looks very nice. And it will be gold plated I’m assuming. April release for 4400 yen. Truth be told, if it was molded in plain yellow, and at a nice 2500 yen, I might consider picking it up… :/

A new grunt suit for those who love grunt suits. The HGUC Nemo actually looks very nice. I’m considering picking this up and one or two different GMs and make my own custom grunt suit. ^^ Also to note that it will be in the colors that was shown in Gundam Unicorn episode 4. April release for 1500 yen.

The old HGUC Marasai and Zaku 1 Sniper are getting some recolor love to match their appearance in Gundam Unicorn episode 4 along with some different accessories. Both are march release for 1500 yen.

The HG Juagg, which was teased in december, is now shown in gray prototype. Aaaand… I still really hate this design. There’s just something that I don’t really like… >.> For those that do like this, it’s a march release for 1700 yen.

More photos of the new BB Legends Command Gundam, Musha Gundam, and Knight Gundam. I still would like the Knight Gundam in Master Grade though. Release and prices are still in the air.

Speaking of SDs, the new SD Gundam AGE-1 Normal looks really really nice. Man, the new SDs are looking better with every release. March release for 1000 yen.

With the first generation of Gundam AGE coming to an end, and the second generation coming soon, comes new model kits from Bandai. The Mega size Gundam AGE-2 Normal looks pretty nice, although I’m surprise at how expensive it is. It’s about 9000 yen for a kit that’s a blown up HG! For that price, it better had transform. Also a march release.

The new Gundam AGE-2 00 Raiser Double Bullet looks very cool in my opinion. I really like the AGE-2 Normal’s design so I’m excited to see how the next form will look after this. I haven’t seen any pics of this guy transformed, so it may not suppose to transform when in Double Bullet form. March release for 1500 yen.

The HG Adele from Gundam AGE also looks very nice. It sorta has a Jesta feel to it. I’m pretty sure if the blue was a little more darker, then it would looker even cooler. Another kit I would like to get my hands on. February release for 1200 yen.

The HG G-Bouncer looks cool, a nice upgrade from the G-Exes. Although it sorta looks like it uses the Sparrows legs, slightly different but still. Kinda cool how it has a blade boomerang on the shield like the Infinite Justice. Also G-Bouncer? Really? Couldn’t call it G-Exes Mk2 or something… And I don’t really care for the Genoace II. Both are february release, G-Bouncer for 1500 yen, and Genoace II for 1200 yen.

The HG Zeidora might not look out of place in Evangelion or something. I really dig the design though. But I’m kinda holding back since some pics makes this look kinda chubby and not as cool looking as it’s line art. February release for 1200 yen I think.

Another UE mobile suit, the Dorado. Looks to me the UE are now getting rid of the dragon mode that the old suits had, and are now sticking to more conventional (if that’s the right word to use on such designs) mobile suits. And it’s purple! Awesome right! :D 1200 yen and it’s being release in the next couple of days.

Finally got some nice images of the Master Grade Gundam AGE-1 in it’s Titus and Sparrow form. Both looking pretty nice, although I noticed that the hands of the Titus are the swappable kinds, like the MG Wing kits. Sorta disappointing but whatever. Titus is a march release for 3500 yen, and the Sparrow is an april release for 3500 yen I’m assuming.

Speaking of Master Grade Age-1, a box art is finally shown for the MG Gundam AGE-1 Normal. And although it looks nice, I’m kinda getting tired of the I’m-gonna-strike-a-pose-and-shoot-my-beam-rifle-with-one-hand pose… ^^;

The Master Grade AGE-1 Normal itself looks very very nice. I’m liking the panel linings that’s on this kit that seems to be missing from recent  Master Grade kits. So far the decals look to be the boring assortments of caution warnings and no fancy AGE-1 or Diva markings. Sorta disappointing. MG AGE-1 Normal is release in feburary and I believe it’s priced at 3500 yen or around there.

Also being released in feburary is the Master Grade Duel Gundam Assault Shroud. This is looking so good with every pics in magazines since december. I want it really badly. Priced at 4200 yen.

And although there are no pictures yet, it has been confirm that Bandai is working on the Master Grades of the Buster, Blitz, and Aegis. So I’m super excited for these to be reveal.

And last but not least, for those who like their loli in robot armor, then the Wing Gundam EW Girl action figure will be a nice gift to you. I’ll admit, she’s pretty cute and I’m pretty sure it’ll match well with the Robot Domashii Wing Gundam EW. May release for 4400 yen.

Wow that’s a lot of kits coming out in the next couple of months. There are some kits that I didn’t get to, but that’s because they are of no concern to me, or they aren’t news worthy to me. Anyways, MG Gundam Heavyarms EW should be release soon, and followed up with AGE-1 Normal, Duel Gundam, and Unicorn Banshee in the next 4 months or so plus more Master Grade kits from Seed, AGE, and Unicorn I’m sure will keep us busy for the year. Plus High Grades from Universal Century and AGE of course.

As usual, all pics and info from Gundam Guy.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure that you guys are waiting for several reviews at this point; the MG Delta Plus, HG Jesta, and others. Truth be told, I’m going on a hiatus in case you haven’t notice. There are several reasons for this: the first is that school is starting, and I really need to concentrate for this semester. The second is because all of my gunpla are currently packed away in preparation for the move my family is having within a month or two. Because they are packed away, I honestly don’t feel like taking them out again and reviewing them. Once we have moved and settled down and I’m not swamped with homework, it’s back to gunpla business for me. I’ll still be around commenting and things like that, but for posting stuff, it can be a while. I’m hoping to start again by mid February or spring break.

Again, Happy Chinese New Year. What is it, year of the dragon? Here’s to a fun and great year!

Sorry for the absent, but I have been pretty lazy at my house. Been enjoying the new year somewhat so I told myself to get Jesta finished by this week. It might look very nice in the picture, but there are some imperfections every where in the blue colors, and the shield has some paint crumple like tin foil but that happened during the topcoating process. Also my first time removing seam lines, but they’re still kinda faint haha. I’m going to do a review of this guy soon, Delta Plus is going to be delayed until the moving of houses is complete and I’m all settled down.

This month is going to be a heavy month for gunpla. Both HG Banshees are being release in about two days and MG Heavyarms EW is coming out at the end of this month. Probably not going to get those anytime soon, but I am going to be visiting my hobby store later to see if they have anything of interest ^^;.

Alright, it was a beautiful afternoon so I decided to get some spray cans and put some colors on the Jesta. Got the blacks all done, and I’m going to start on the dark blue tomorrow. For the joints and other “inner frame” stuff, I’m kinda debating going with a brownish gray or regular metallic charcoal. Sorta leaning towards the metallic charcoal though. I’m going to try to get Delta Plus’s photo shot and reviewed before the new year arrives, but I’m almost done with Skyward Sword, so it might be delayed. I’m actually kind of sad that I’m nearing the end of the game…  :(

Wow, I can’t believe that it’s been a year since I started blogging. Actually it was on December 6, two week earlier, but better late then never. I’ve been meaning to make this post for some time, but ever since I got me Zelda: Skyward Sword, it’s been consuming my life right now. So how do I feel about blogging for a year?

It’s been a fun year for me. For me, it’s learning new techniques and buying the kits I want gives me quite a joy at times. My works standing proudly on the shelf (no matter how badly painted) leaves a smile on my face. Although I have like no room on the shelf for the kits in my backlog. :(

The next coming years, I hope to continue getting better at painting my kits as well as using more advance modeling technique. It’ll be rough, but you don’t improve unless you push yourself. In terms of schooling and family, once I get a feel of my school schedule, I’m going to try to get a second job, mainly so I can get more income for my hobby but second to support my family. So I might be posting less in 2012.

Next year, I like to try my hands on airbrushing. I just bought the above airbrush a couple of days ago, but I’m holding out on other airbrush related materials until later since the family is currently planning to move to a different house. With luck, we’ll move out of this useless house my step dad bought 3 years ago and finally settle down. Only then will I proceed to get a compressor and other things. I’m pretty excited, I’m planning to focus airbrushing when summer starts.

Lastly I want to thank the readers out there who visit my blog. I’m still new to this, but I’m open to hearing advices and criticisms. 2011 is about to come to an end, and hopefully, 2012 will be a good year for me and everyone.

He’s finally done. Took a chance when there was a break in the bad weather and topcoat the rest of the wing binders and the shield. I will admit that some areas didn’t turn out very well. You can tell if you zoom in, but from far away he looks great. With this done and submitted to GundamGuy’s G-Shot, I can now focus on HLJ Sci-Fi competition. And complying with the rules, I won’t be showing any WIP or pictures what so ever until the winners are announced. In the mean time…

Nothing complex, just a straight repaint into the Titans color scheme. I think it’ll look cool :)

The past week or so has been pretty rough. Any free time I get, I’m painting Delta Plus, and then I’m dealing with school for the rest of the time. Almost got a class dropped >.< Got to make sure that doesn’t happen again. Anyways, I got most of the whites for the arms and legs done. Just need to topcoat the shoulders, feet, and work on the rest of the blue parts and I can finally call it finish.

Earlier this week, I went to my hobby shop to see what they had, and lucky me because they just restock some kit, I picked up the MG 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G and MG Wing Gundam EW. I was going to get the MG Sandrock EW and painted in the Sandrock Custom’s colors, but the day I went to get Wing Gundam, someone bought it already… So I settled on the Wing EW. No idea yet with the 00 Gundam, but for the Wing EW, I have a potential resin conversion kit I have been looking at. Hopefully I’ll get it during the summer along with an airbrush system.

I’m continuing to get Delta Plus painted, but bad weather has been delaying that. Finals the coming week can also impend progress. And video games too ^^;.

Also it’s snowing on my blog! :O

He’s starting to shape up now. Working on the shield right now which I’m hoping to have done by tomorrow and start on the arms and legs. Hurray for Thanksgiving Break! :D

Of course when I’m not working on this, I’m on Modern Warfare 3 with my friends haha. Straight run for the finish now!

Aye yah! Only two more weeks of November and that’s all I have gotten done?! Um, yes progress has been slow, but it’s going good. Now to paint the Brilliant Blue on and see how this turns out. The beam rifle is completely done. I like the concept that I went with, but the metallic gray could have been better I think. Well, at least it’s the beam rifle and not the mobile suit lol. Onward with painting!
