The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

So got meself a mirrorless camera, a headset and a portable external hdd.

Image

To say that I’m real excited with the purchase of the Sony Nex-5N is an understatement. I mean THIS.THING.IS.AWESOME.

This eliminates my need to setup a lightbox for quick photos, take superb shots under low light conditions, plus can also take HD videos to boot.

Been playing L4D2 and Dota 2 a lot recently, games where communication is crucial. Got tired of using my headphones + mic combo so I got a Razer Tiamat 2.2 instead. This thing got 2 sub-woofer drivers hence the 2.2 naming, which makes the bass go BOOM.

Image

I’ve been lugging my bigass external hdd that needs a power outlet and been running out of space recently.. So m’yeah.. A TB Western Digital My Passport.

Closed World

Holy smokes Batman..

Not really sure what kept me from posting any updates. Started working almost a year ago but it’s not that hectic as some of the people my age has whined and bitched about. Sure it is stressful at times but meh, you can get through it.

Image

Can’t believe I haven’t blogged for over a year, from the looks of it I haven’t finished posting about how the MG Unicorn is finished.

I am now planning on building the MG FA-ZZ Gundam, thinking about pla-plating it but not too much. Repainted the 1/100 Astraea and applied weathering on the MG Zaku II 2.0, finally I’m satisfied of the gunplas I’ve built.

Image

Talking about gunplas, last one I bought was the MG Unicorn Gundam and gogdamn that was over 2 years ago. Main reason is I’ve switched to buying some animu figures.

A theme alert here, both Homura and Senjougahara is voiced by Chiwa Saitou and Nagato is reminiscent of Eva-00’s pilot Rei. LOL

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam WIP 4

This would be the last WIP post for this build, these pictures are actually sitting in my hard drive for a week now. I’ve totally forgotten I haven’t put the pics up yet. xD

Pics of the parts put up to dry.. Yes I use toothpicks, blu-tacks and a long nose plier to hold them during painting.

Image

Image

The shine doesn’t show on this shot but I tell you the glossy metallic paintjob looks. Also, a last shot of the cockpit before assembly.

Image

Image

Did a very minor mod on the arm armor, cut off a part that obstruct movement. Left one is modded while the right arm is not (just to show emphasis on the modfied part).

Image

I like the contrasting colors of matte blue (not painted just topcoat) and metallic red on the backpack.

Image

Didn’t put much decals on this build just enough to make it look detailed.

Image

Giving lots of credit to Bandai.. The head has o seam lines at all.

Image

All I need to do now is paint the thrusters in chrome, apply decals on the weapons and a final layer of topcat. Oh a look of how the MG Unicorn looks after completion.

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam WIP 3

Originally planned on a metallic blue paintjob on the psycoframe, but I’ve used up the clear blue paint and am too lazy to go on a 4 hour trip just to buy some more.

Decided to just use the metallic red spraycan I have here. Yes I was using the chrome paint + clear blue paint combo..

Image

Decided to mod the legs for better articulation, nothing fancy was done aside from me cutting/chipping parts that hinders the movement.

Right one is the modded leg while the other still is not..

Image

Parts of the unmodded leg just waiting there, topcoating this thing is a real pain.. Had to spray it by each piece cos the armor has matte topcoat while the psycoframe has gloss.

Yes those parts are semi-transparent.. Not sure what to call the paintjob but it looks like candy red?

Image

Label on spraycan says metallic red but I’m not too sure..

Image

I’ve already painted this leg and the shield in metallic blue before scraping the initial plans.. So yeah, they’re not semi-transparent anymore.

Image

Took a quick shot of upper body in Unicorn mode, I won’t transforming this anymore once painted. Sliding kinda scratches the psycoframe’s paintjob.

Image

A shot of the unmodded leg just sitting there, still not in the mood to cut and snip the obstructing parts.

Mass Effect 3: VGA 10: Exclusive Debut Trailer

Finally.. A glimpse of what’s in store for us in Mass Effect 3. From the look of things it instantly picks off where Mass Effect 2 has left off, the reapers coordinating attacks against everyone in the Milky Way.
