Hi guys! Just finished a snap-fit build of my latest project. Its an MG 1/100 Strike Rouge + Ootori.
I still have lots of things to do with this kit; finish the panel lining, decals and some detailing.
I love its color scheme and Ootori design, he is pretty stable even with a large backpack and is able to stand perfectly straight with the Ootori installed.
Here are just some photos of the snap-fit build:
I will post again after I have finished this project! Till next post! 🙂

This is my dream: to establish a non-profit (or proceeds will go to chosen charity) club named Gunpla Builders Philippines (of-course we will have to ask Bandai for the proper rights on the word Gunpla Builders) .
Below are my ideas to start-off with:
1. It will have a concrete location (I will have to find a suitable establishment for this) where club members can go to.
2. It will have gunpla building stations where members can build their gunpla and use multiple sets of tools for free.
3. It will have airbrush stations where members can paint their gunpla and use the paints there for free.
4. It will have a Gundam Cafe where members can have a snack and be amazed by the different Gundam character-shaped food items.
5. It will have multiple display cabinets and halls to showcase the work of the members or whoever wants to showcase their work.
6. It is a family where everyone can share their Gunpla ideas and tips.
7. It will have a gunpla kits shop where members can buy their gunpla at the cheapest price or profits will go to a chosen charity.
8. It will hold gunpla building competitions!
9. It will travel around the world and establish branches in different countries to promote the fun of building gunpla.
This idea was born out of the question: “If you had all the money in the world, If money was not a problem, what would you do today?”, and this idea was already on the back of my mind for quite a long time.
Then came the new anime Gunpla Build Fighters(screenshots I used above are from that actual anime series). As I watched this anime, it made me more inspired to pursue this dream. I just wish things from the anime were actually real, where you can build a gunpla, make it your own, and have it fight battles with you as the pilot.
In reality, I don’t have all the money in the world, but this question can help any individual who wants to discover what they seriously want to do in life. This dream of mine seems pretty big and at first glance it seems implausible. But with proper planning(especially financial planning), I believe I can realize this in the future.
For the past 2 years, I have been accumulating my knowledge in financial literacy and investing. I am now on my continuous journey to financial freedom while developing my money making machine to help me achieve my dream. What is a money making machine you ask? Refer to the image below:
In simplest of words, its making more, spending less and investing the rest. As your assets grow, so as your income, then you buy more assets with your increased income and so on. Its a simple idea and I won’t go over the details because a lot can be discussed with regards to financial literacy, and it should be covered on a different type of blog. The point is, I will be using this money making machine to achieve my dream of Gunpla Builders Philippines.
This is my end game. My passion is gunpla ever since I was a child. A more detailed post about my history in gunpla can be read here. My ideal output of this blog was 1 post of a gunpla build every week. But I couldn’t achieve this because most of the time, I don’t have the energy left to do gunpla after work or if I forced myself, I believe that I would not be making a quality build like in some of my previous posts as an example. Anyway, once I have my money making machine and a stable business, I would not need to work standard hours so that I have ample time to do my gunpla.
How about you? What is your dream? What is your end game?
“If you had all the money in the world, If money was not a problem, what would you do today?”
Till next post! Thanks for reading! 🙂

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 collection page.
Progress in collecting gunplas has slowed down due to daily life events. I hope I can collect and review more gunpla kits and take quality photographs 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:
Here’s how they look in my display cabinet, time to clean!
Till next post! 🙂
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 eyes light up!) 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 default blue color of the blue parts.
2. Weapons are kind of meh.
3. Back heavy, hard to pose.
4. Clear stickers.. we all know why.. But I still put them on the kit anyway.
Till next post! Thanks!
Hi guys! It’s been a while, I’ve been busy with a small business that I have put up. Anyway, here I present HG 1/144 Zaku III! Nothing fancy, it’s an old kit I’ve picked up a long time ago, it was produced year 1999 same as my MG Rick Dom. Its just a straight build and some simple panel lining, nothing more.
Hi guys! I present to you MG 1/100 Tallgeese! Partially painted and a lot of weathering. (maybe a bit too much though..) Continue reading “MG 1/100 OZ-00MS Tallgeese”
