To tide me over until MG Red Frame completes it’s journey from the land of the rising sun, i’ve decided to work on this awesome and underappreciated kit – the Murasame. Time to tear open the box and have a nosey inside!

My first (complete) build since returning from Japan is Amuros Ray’s signature unit. Modelled after the 1/1 Odaiba Gundam it’s an awesome little HG Kit!

Image from Happinet Online Oh man, I cannot wait for this kit, going right to the top of the build list, roll on the 25th! I did opt for SAL postage though so that could well end up being the 25th of August :S

It feels like forever since my last HGUC build, and what better a kit to get back into old habits with. Modelled on the 1/1 Odaiba Gundam, this 30th anniversary special edition of the classic mobile suit looks like an awesome update of a classic design. First impressions herein.

I’ve been working on this kit on and off since June last year, it’s been something of a labour of love and it’s finally complete!

Every year I push my suitcase to the absolute limit on the way home from Japan, filling every available bit of space with awesomeness from the land of the rising sun. This year I think I did particularly well!

In preparation of lots of Gundam building over the coming year, i’ve spruced up the ‘Current Gunplas’ widget on the sidebar to something alot more visual at a glance, comments welcome! Will be writing a 2009 stash post later today.

Uh oh I think I went a little nuts!

Lots and lots of walking in Southern Higashiyama today and a meeting with the Hotel staff for final wedding details!

Instead of wasting posts blabbing on about the various projects i’ve got on I thought i’d consolidate it into one!

I love it when a Gunpla plan comes together…

Ah gunpla… how i’ve missed you…

For my next trick i’ll be building the 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam – sadly not Master Grade but I can’t complain as I got this FREE at Japan Expo in Paris last year! You see there was a small queue building by the Namco Bandai stand so I joined not really having anything else to [...]

It’s not a PG I know, but this kit crams alot of awesome into a 1/144 kit!

Completed this kit a good while ago(so much so i’m quite far into my next kit!) and I have taken absolutely forever to bother taking some piccies. But anyway, here we are! GP02 now has someone to square up to! Clicky through for review!

Finally! A good three and a half years since Ben originally got me this kit it’s finally done, and what a monster it is! Compared to other 1/144 models it’s a goliath, the MG must be insanely huge! On with the review…
