RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam : WIP #01

This kit is to commemorate Gundam's 30th anniversary & to mimic the 1/1 scale RX-78-2 at Shizuoka.

Been excited about this kit ever since it was announced few months ago.

I'm not a fan of 1/144 scale gunplas mainly because of its articulation & details are not as good as an MG. Yes, there are a few that came out with better articulation, but none came close in detail than the RG.

RG or Real Grade is a grade higher than HGUC in 1/144 scale. Theres a lot of parts that make up for the panels etc. Its like building an MG (Master Grade) but in smaller scale.

1st Hauls of 2010

These are my somewhat massive hauls for 1 quarters of 2010 that I consider a must get.

Revoltech's VF-1A

- Cool transformable Valkarie from Revoltech. Sure, its not as uber cool as Yamato's, but it can do poses as any Revoltech would.

There are 5 designs in total, & I might not get 'em all. : P

Transformer Human Alliance Barricade.

- A MUST GET if you already has the HA Bumblebee. The car mode is spot on, & the robot mode is better than the Voyager class.

I didn't go for HA Skidd b'cause he looks to fat, & I neither did I get HA Sideswipe 'cause the robot mode looks funny.

Will do a blog/review on it soon.

Lightning Base for Gundam.

- From Bandai, a base that lights up. Comes in blue & red. Bought this for my 1/100 Red Astray clear edition.

Thought it would look cool to see the Gundam's inner body glows red.

It didn't. Especially if you rooms too bright.......

It can combine with the action base for 1/100 which I think is cool.

Payday hauls.

Eli's journal, November 23rd 2009.
I got back my laptop from HP service center at Bukit Damansara, 2nd time this year.
It's the same problem as before; motherboard.
This time, is felt as if I was in an episode of Mission Impossible, the laptop self destruct in a puff of smoke, literally. Good thing its still under warranty.
1 thing that is good about HP is their after sale service, took only 3 day to repair.

Apple, anyone?

Anyhoo, its paydayo here's a few hauls.

Stuff for my airbrush, display & pc/laptop.

The Transformer USB Device Label is very, very cool. Although it only holds 2GB, it also has a program where you let loose your Ravage on your desktop.

Ravage feels pity for the poor DV.

No! Bad Ravage! Bad!

1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame (Clear Version).
There's a couple of plamo that still requires my attention, but upon seeing the availability along with the price of this particular plamo kit, I just couldn't help myself. I got this during the JayaJusco J-Card day at 1-Utama. It's a 30% discount which I thought it's a steal.

This will only be assemble-no-painting-necessary project.
