F91 Gundam Finished

After receiving this kit about 3 weeks ago from HLJ i finally got around to building it. I have added a few panel lines and painted all the blues, yellows and reds to make them more vibrant. I must say i wasn't really into Gunpla (term used to describe Gundam modeling) but now i have really gotten into it and ordered a few more kits that i have also received and will start building them soon (you can see on the side panel of this blog the kits i'm currently building or a still waiting to be built).

Please feel free to comment or give suggestions on how i can improve my Gundam modeling.

Ignis by Orchid Seed

You may have noticed my post earlier and seen this figure in the photo. I just purchased this before Christmas and was surprised to see it arrive in time.. you just gotta love buying yourself Xmas pressies.. you will always get what you want. :)

Back to the figurine. This here is the Orchid Seed's (Good Smile Company) version of 1/7 scale Ignis. There has been 3 other companies that have produced her. One is Alter and another is Max Factory and finally BOME (Kaiyodo). The Orchid version is the only version to date that has a changeable cloth on the eyes (breasts). There are 2 versions. 1 which covers the nipples and the other which exposes the nipples (pictures below explain it better).

Tandem Twins - Lynx

I recently purchased this Tandem Twins figurine called Lynx from HLJ. She is 1 of 3 coloured versions, Topaz (Lynx), Sapphire (Ruby with a tattoo of a flame on her back) and Amethyst (not sure of the name but she is blue and has a funky eye patch). All of them have the same look just different coloured hair and tops (if you want to call two strands of cloth tops). Oh and the top is removeable ;)

Mariko arrives!

I ordered Mariko Imai along with Mizuki from Tsukasa Bullet. I was surprised to see Mariko arrive today though disappointed that Mizuki was not with her. Looks like Mizuki will be on backorder for some time. Nether the less Mariko will have her buddy soon. She is nicely detailed and has a very nice set of eyes. ;) Enjoy.

I blame WoW

Title says it all.. i blame WoW for my lack of updates recently. I have just started playing WoW (World of Warcraft) again after about 4-5 months off and now im addicted again.. sigh. If you wanna hook up in WoW with me or just to say hi then you can find me on the following servers;

Frostmourne (Alliance)
Oniichan (lvl42 Rogue)
Saya (lvl47 Rogue).

Jubie'Thos (Horde)
Oniichan (lvl58 Hunter)
Sodo (lvl 32 Rogue)

I am aiming to lvl up Oniichan (frostmourne server) to 60 in 5 days played time however i think this may become 6-7 days due to helping a few in game friends with quests. At the moment im at 3 days 2 hours. Which is not my best as i have done 1-35 in just under 2 days played time. If you have any tips or would like to share your fastest times then be sure to post your then. ^_^

Now back to WoW.

Crossbone X-3 GFF #0031

Opened this up today and i must say if you have ever brought a figure and have taken it out of the box then you will know of the pain of taking of the cable tie thingos from them. Well with most figures it isnt and issue but i must say with the GFF series as you get so many different weapons, hands, body, etc.. there are just soooo many cable ties in there.. its a royal pain in the butt to get all the pieces out.. took me almost 1 hour.. lol

Anyway back to the Crossbone figure.. the detail is pretty good but is smaller then i thought.. you can do some fairly decent poses so is well worth the money even though they are not that expensive to begin with.. they are around AU$43 each. Here are a few photos..

Giroro Robo almost done!

I have almost finished my Giroro Robo injection kit i received this week. Here are some pictures below.. i still have to add more detail to the weapons and the back. Ill post some finished pictures later on... but for now enjoy these..

December Arrivals... Yay!

Postman delivered these.. GFF #0031 Crossbone Gunam X-3, MG 1/100 F91 and F91 Blue, Giroro Robo injection kit, Hobby Japan Jan edition, Figure Maniacs Autumn 2006 and some craft tools. Looks like ill be busy during December ^_^
