June 20, 2009 - CORRECTION, skynet will strike otakus at breakfast!!

Originally, a hobby bot of some sort modded to some degree.I want one. I won't make it look like a "hina" bot,but I'd wanna mod one,too. (actually, what series is it supposed to be from?hina's used as a name in a good amount of shows, I'm sure.)so rad."robot, make me a sandwich and fight other robots in a battle royale, I cammand thee!"

June 17, 2009 - Curry is all that is good.

Well, its finally done. The last of that batch of curry I made.after this, I think I'll be all "curried" out.hah.laugh.laugh now. Interestingly enough, this batch's dough gave me a little more trouble.sticky little punk. but in the end I conquer all that is curry and curry related.woot.

mmm,panko crumbs.mmm,crispy.

Shame, I'm already almost out. I only made 8 this time.

June 17, 2009 - Purple is a fruit.and a pain

Got around to workin on the Gnx.wanted to do a pretty easy build.sorta a "relaxer" kit after the gadessa. the only things I'll do for it besides a straight build is some panel lining,gunmetal all the dark grey runners,maybe paint the eyes(thats a maybe),do some clear purple on the clear parts, and paint the cartridge cylinders on the gun.Just so you know,there's like no clear purple.(least not at my local hobbytown usa which has every tamiya paint listed on their website)and you can't just make it from mixing clear red and clear blue.it doesn't make purple.its makes brown.thats right,brown. you want purple and you get clear doo doo brown. Anyone out there who did a macross frontier valkryie and wanted to take care of the canopy knows my pain. Luckly, a while back I stumbled on a vf-25 review that gave just what I needed. I believe it was Jerrod's exhaustible vf-25f review or something like it. it it, he also posted pictures of his final product. looked like a really good purple.the combo for this seemingly perfect clear purple for the canopy?

He used model master clear,tamiya clear blue, and model master purple pearl.

I did the same recipe,but with tamiya clear.it turned out fine.problem was I then realized the gnx's purple is more of a purple pearl(which is like a brighter burgundy with more purple) than a tinted blue-purple. see the problem? I got purple pearl but it isn't clear.pAIn,what a PAIN! I ended up mixing more drops of clear blue and more purple pearl til it got close enough. I'll use the decal bandai in combo with the painted clear piece.hopefully, that'll do the trick.(is it me or did I say I wanted an easy build and I just went through all this????) I DO,however have the perfect mix for the canopy for my vf when I do that, so I got that down,score.

I hope this'll be enough for later.

This is actually my 2nd mix,since the first was too blue

The lighting isn't so good and I can't use the flash(shines too much blue since this isn't a deep purple) but I hope the much brighter purple pearl decal will help with this.(ugh, I hate using those sticker decals sometimes,grr...deep breath*,"its a relaxer kit,its a relaxer kit")

The Goal - Finish the GnX by end of today.IT WILL BE DONE.

...and finish uploading the Gadessa Gallery pics.

P.s - OMG, its freaking New Comic DAY!!!whoo!!! I picked up reading iron man a while back a bit before the extremis arc and have been reading since. just hate how I gotta wait forever for the issues to come out(even longer now, since alot of focus is on the dark reign than how it affects the leftovers of pre-dark reign.),but I still appreciate just getting the ability to still have it in circulation.

oh and thanks to Spite,its sooooo much better when its in stereo and not mono.gracias

June 15, 2009 - Gadessa anc Chop suey!

I've been pretty worn lately with this month's prep and all so haven't had time to properly update.(and I still haven't taken care of that whole banner thing.any ideas,anyone?leave your suggestions in the comments.neeeeddd banner.)

I actually finished around late friday night/saturday morning,but haven't got around to taking any pictures or anything til this morning. Finish what?why, the pain in the butt kit I was working on- The Gadessa(or specifically, my custom gadessa after some "arm-twisted" tweeking.)

In the end, I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out(then again, after all that work-I kinda have to be,don't I?)

That gn mega launcher was such a pain.overall, I'm satisfied with it....for now.

And how do you celebrate a finished model kit,much less the Gadessa?why with Chop suey! Ah, Chop Suey!!!(>_<)!!!

ONE ORDER OF CHOP SUEY WITH FRIED RICE AND A TEA!HURRY IT UP OR I'LL SHOVE THIS UP YOUR [insert long list of choice words(bad word,bad word,bad word,bad word)] AND SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER!!HURRY IT UP AND GIMMI MY FOOD!!

...Damn.Innovators can be real A$$ho1es.

Coming soon- Gadessa pic gallery

June 13, 2009 - It lives,IT LIVESSSS!!!!

EDIT:

While the Project Real G seems to be coming to a close and the premiere is technically on July 11th, almost everything is done. I guess they aren't gonna do the buster rifle and shield?aww.anyways,the gimmicks are being tested, and most visiters to the park can already see it. I mean, its huge so how can a little fence hide it from people?heh ?{^^}?the first vid is kinda funny. The oohs and Ahs that follow with alittle movement.its like cavemen and fire,hahaha. but,really, it is a sight to behold. lucky park goers. They get a bada$$ gundam statue, I get a plain crummy park.grr. I swear, if There's an Optimus prime erected in another japanese park sometime soon, heads will ROLLLLLLLLL!!!!(>_<)!!!!!!

June 13, 2009 - Bandai Goodies

Upcoming Bandai goodies from their product display. There's a few items that caught my eye.

There's already Basquash items ready?That's bandai.hmm,shiny.The Chogokin Ozma armored vf-25s. Looks good, but I still want the plasmo instead.(I have a problem, maybe an addiction, but I can stop whenever I want...no, really I can.starts gettin the shakes*)The Big O from the Chogokin line as well. I never really got around to watching the series, but I hear its an underated show that didn't get its just dues over in the states.Will any of the other giant mechs from the Big O get the Chogokin treatment?
Ah, the Arx-7:arbalest. the first version of it-kotobukiya model kit(disaster).they've since got alot better with the plasmo work, second verson-amazing sculpt and work in general.sucky part-price was super painful to any wallet(even for fans). this Robot Damashii looks to be the bridge for an Arbalest thats more friendlly to the wallet and still giving the fans a figure within in reason. I speculate that some will still criticize this version and the almost 150 something dollar version. I don't expect this unit to be flawless, just a good something in between the bad kotokits of the past and the while incredible,still super expensive next version.Will this Arbalest satisfy the masses this time?The Ex-gear alto version(I don't think there's a need for another since Alto is the one shown using it the most, but I suspect that if Bandai chooses to, they'd do some more head sculpts and voila-more pilot versions,more money.)These are all pics mostly showing alto using the ex-gear in its cockpit mounted form.No ejector seats for these pilots,nope. instead, the main cockpit seat mass changes into the more mobile ex-gear for multi uses from escaping to addition mission blah blah blah. Hahaha,alto's like the smallest kid who wants to sit in the "big boy's seat."hahaha.Comes with enough hands don't it?oooh, big sms rifle,nice.despite my smart remarks, I would kinda like to get this. it'd go well next to my actual vf-25f display. Here's a promo pic for it from a little while back. it show the ex-gear in it mobile flight mode as well. I don't really care about the Alto head sculpt, I'd probably keep it with it helmet on anyways.prefer it that way.(you stupid punk,Alto. no actual decision???who chooses flying?punk. after all that dragging around you did with citroen,oops,err,I mean ranka.go destroy destroy elsewhere. heh.I hope someone gets this joke refrence or this'll probably make even no sense.

Coming out this month is another must have for Macross fans. It comes as an armored version or the regular valkryie. It apparently might also come with the SMS base.awesome. Comsidering the price, it really is a deal. I almost regret getting my vf-25f when it was released. almost. I can keep one in armored mode and one in regular mode.and now I'll have 2 vf's and 2 sms bases.score.

June 09, 2009 - Project Real G nearing completion!!

So, got up, got my morning coffee/tea and went to check for anything updated or interesting and what do I find? PROJECT REAL G has practically finished! I hear they're finishing up on the led work and the rifle & shield. ALOT of leds are gonna be in place. eyes plus 49 other places on the suit. anyhoo, its looks awesome(>_<)!!!! Seeing the new pics just makes me wanna see in person all the more. As soon as I gather enough funds for all my anticipated events/items, I'll pre-order the hg 1/144 anniversary rx-78 with the slightly new modern sculpt. awesomeness,just awesomeness. although....think about it, japan: - always tweeking the A.I. tech they're always developing. - Technically, they're 3 years ahead of the curve for us and almost 5yrs for the rest of the world in terms of advancement in technology,architecture,etc. - They now just constructed a real scale giant mobile suit that even fits within size and weight parameters( the list intel on a functioning unit is 350ish tons, empty-no guts statue built-300 or so tons) -They're always competing against korea in general advancements,etc,etc. - alittle bit more time and BOOM!!,working ms havoking in seoul. then, korea will one up them by building one,too. -Japan pushes the operating tech til the A.I. is at its limits,then..... SKYNET....giant, robotic,japanese, skynet. dum dUm DUMMMMMM......quick question-who will be the angst ridden 15 yr old to ride the first working prototype? hahhahahaha. enjoy the pics,all.
