Hi! I just wanted to show you guys my current gunpla collection, and along with that I took new profile photographs of each of my gunplas to update my collectionpage.
Progress in collecting gunplas has slowed down due to dailylifeevents. I hope I can collect and reviewmore gunpla kits and take qualityphotographs like when this blog was just starting. I had much passion years back when I started collecting gunpla, I hope to rekindle it and not let my airbrush kit go to waste haha! 🙂
Here is my current gunpla collection and corresponding links to posts:
Hi guys! I present to you HG 1/144 RX-93-V2 Hi-V Gundam! This was in my backlog for ages! Glad I have accomplished him.
Things I did in this kit:
1. In this kit, I have not done any sanding and just relied on my X-Acto hobby knife to clean out the nib-marks. I decided to do this method to see the difference between a sanded kit versus an un-sanded (just using the hobby knife to clean nib-marks) kit. Sanding parts require a lot of time and effort whilst just using the hobby knife consumes less time and also less effort. The results are acceptable if you want to clean nib-marks faster, but if you want a more flawless work, it’s got to be sanding.
2. I hated the default blue color of the plastic material so I airbrushed the blue parts using Tamiya Sky Blue. Ofcourse I primed the blue parts first using a light grey primer.
3. Basic panel lining and matte coat.
And that’s it! Enjoy the photos! Oh! And I included a gift from my best friend: Mini Danbo (that included a feature where his eyeslightup!) in some the photos, Just click one of the images below to open the gallery:
Things I like about this kit:
1. Lots of lines to mark for an HG kit.
2. Articulation is good for an HG kit.
3. The funnels on his back.
4. Shield design.
Things I don’t like about this kit:
1. The defaultblue color of the blue parts.
2. Weapons are kind of meh.
3. Backheavy, hard to pose.
4. Clear stickers.. we all know why.. But I still put them on the kit anyway.
This will be my first ever Nendoroid figure. Upon searching information about this figure, I found out that this is a limitededition. I planned to sell it but in the end I decided to keep it for myself as my first Nendoroid.
Let’s take a look at the box:
Nothing special about the box, normal nendoroid box. I recently noticed that newer Nendoroid have a newer box layout yes? The one with the big numbers on the side.
Here are the extra parts: 1 extra body, 1 extra face plate, 2 extra legs that are in sitting position, 2 arms, and a hand for handling the spear.
Some simple shoots to showcase the figure:
The spear is sculpted well, no paint bleeds whatsoever.
Should I display her using this pose?:
She comes with anotherfigure, a boy who I don’t know because I have no idea yet about Queen’s Blade.
Overall, I’m quite surprised by the quality of this Nendoroid figure, no paint bleeds, colors are correct and solid, no paint transfers, sculpt is superb! So far I did not encounter any problems with this Nendoroid, aside from the fact that she can’t stand on her own, but most Nendoroids do not stand on their own anyway right? If you’re a fan of Queen’s Blade, then this is a nice figure to have!
Hi! Here are some random photos that I took in testing out my new Nikkor 50mm 1.8g lens! I am very happy with the results! Superb light intake and sharpness! I will be posting some reviews with regards to some of my new hauls soon. For now, enjoy the few photos! Loading might take a while since I uploaded the original full resolution photos so bear with it. 🙂
I have always been fascinated by the simplicity and elegance of buildingblocks. You can build anything you want with your imagination, up to the physicallimitations of the blocks. I remember seeing the Nanoblocks for the first time in Singapore, and given that I have loved building blocks since I was a child, I instantly fell in love with the product, but not with its heftypricetag. Same with Lego building blocks, they’re quite expensive to fit into my budget and collect.
Then here comes an cheaper “imitation” for the Nanoblocks, yay! =3
Introducing LoZ Gift Series Diamond Blocks: Minion Dave:
Minion Dave is from the movie Despicable Me, if you haven’t watched the movie, you’re missing out! :p
Blocks count is 260 pieces according to the box, but I didn’t take the effort to count the block myself. It is challenging to build this guy because of the small blocks.
Of course it comes with instructions on how to build this guy.
It took me around 45 minutes to build him since I had trouble in the first few steps. It would be wise to have a pair of tweezers around to handle them, especially that I have thick fingers.
Some areas I built crudely since it was really hard to handle the singleunit blocks.
While building, he seems to be flimsy at first, but when you finally complete Dave, he seems sturdy enough.
His back right side looks shitty, was lazy to fix it anymore. XD Anyway I’ll be displaying him front faced.
They have a lot more othercharacters on sale and I will be exploring them. 🙂
I miss blogging here and buildinggunplas, I hope I can allot time again for my hobby since I am busy right now with financial duties. 😀
Till next time! Thank you for viewing! 🙂
Here are the instruction sheet for people requesting it:
Hi guys! It’s been a while, I’ve been busy with a smallbusiness that I have put up. Anyway, here I present HG 1/144 Zaku III! Nothing fancy, it’s an oldkit I’ve picked up a long time ago, it was produced year 1999 same as myMGRickDom. Its just a straight build and some simple panel lining, nothing more.
Hi guys! This going to be my first 1/7 PVC anime figure review! 1/7 Fate Testarossa Plain Clothes Ver. by Alter! I got her during the Philippine Toy Convention 2013 at the Hobby Japan magazine booth! They had a specialoffer in which they are selling “lucky bags” for only a thousand (Php1000) pesos! At first I thought it maybe a scam or it might not be worth it, but then again, those were realJapanese vendors from Hobby Japan, they came all the way to Japan to promote the seven deadly sins figures such as Leviathan(envy) and the others.
And so me and my friends tried to interview them a bit with regards to what were the contents of the “lucky bag”, they just said that it contained figures, then as we investigated further, we found out that inside the lucky bag contained a Limited Edition 1/7 Fate Testarossa figure, a Limited Edition Nendoroid that I will make a post later on, a seven deadly sins shirt, a seven deadly sin character miniscroll and a seven deadly sins sticker! And so we thought it’s already a super great deal! A PVC statue and a nendoroid for only 1000Php?! That’s beyond crazy and comprehension!
And so me and my friends got the deal, at first I planned to sell them rather than opening them, but upon posting the items for more than a week, nobody took notice of my posting and I also noticed that even one post in ebay that is already pretty old never got sold. There’s no demand sadly, but I’m still happy that I got a figure and a Nendoroid for only 1000Php! So why not open it and keep it in my collection! And so here we are!
I present to you 1/7 Fate Testarossa Plain Clothes Ver. from the 1st movie!:
Though I haven’t watched this anime before, maybe sometime in the future!
She’s really quite simple with a sadlike or meh facial expression. It’s hard to make out what kind of emotion she”s trying to express..
It’s annoying to see a tinyblackmark on her left pig tail XD
Let’s get into the details:
I have no idea what the goldtriangle she’s holding is, anyone can tell me?
The ribbon on her blouse is nicely sculpted, but like it could break if you bend it.
The frills on her skirt are nice, haven’t seen any paint bleeds.
One thing I’ve always liked about PVC figures that I have seen throughout other blogs are the nails! You can see the pinkishnails on her fingers.
No paint bleeds on her wristband also:
I like the sculpt of her hair, it’s nice and dynamic looking:
No paint bleed on her boots, I like that they made her bootsglossy.
Clean thighs, no marks on her knees
Of course, no figure review would be complete without some pantsushots!
Its amazing the detail of how they sculpt anime figures, from 2d anime to a 3d figure, just amazing!
Nice and glossy!
The base is simple and reflective, better than nothing.
Some close–up shots:
Overall, she’s a simple figure with no extra accessories or extra gimmicks but a nice figure to have because of the sculptquality and a clean paint job. Had fun in taking photographs of her and its the 1st time I tried using some gimmicks on the background haha! I’m happy I got her for such a low price along with a Nendoroid. That’s it for today! Stay tuned for the Nendoroid post! 😀
Till next post! 🙂
