So close, it’s just so damn close! Never before in my life have I built a more satisfying kit. The Nu Gundam Version Katoki Master Grade is an engineering marvel, and it looks damn impressive […]
Well, that was easier than expected. Honestly I can’t say I’m surprised. As a much older Master Grade, it was pretty clear that it was going to be much simpler than the Nu Ver […]
Oh man, this kit is awesome. I apologize for the lack of updates, as I’ve been rather busy over the past few days. There’s a lot more to this kit than you can see, so […]
A few months back, you might remember the Real Type G-Armor kit I was going to build. Well, don’t worry, because I certainly haven’t forgotten it. I just got bogged down by Katoki-itis. I […]
Ah, good ol’ Crossbone Gundam. Totally badass and armed to the teeth. Crossbone X-1 is an awesome design, but if it weren’t for my current play-through of Super Robot Wars Alpha 2, I probably never […]
HAPPY NU YEAR. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. I’ve been working during pretty much all of my spare time in some way or another on this kit. I kind of wish I had it all […]
Ohhh yes. It’s finally here. When I was at Otakon this past summer, I was pretty close to buying the old Nu Gundam Master Grade. I haven’t done a kit that appeared in Char’s Counterattack […]
I always love it when Gundam adds new concepts that don’t exactly add much to the story itself, but make the whole universe seem richer in a way. While characters like the MSV Ace Pilots […]
Not to be outdone by fellow FPNYC blogger Unkie Dev, my wife and I also got an addition to our family this week. Only ours has come in the form of a cat. “Pixel” is […]
With the end of the school year upon me, I haven’t had as much time for Gunpla as I would like. But, no need to fret; I’ve been keeping with a pretty decent schedule on […]
Did someone say Pirate Gundam? I think I heard someone say Pirate Gundam. I remember the day this kit was first announced. I was talking with my friend Keith (who used to write here) […]
After about a month of construction, it’s finally done! I have to admit, I was never one of those crazy-obsessed Zeta Gundam fans. Sure, it’s one of the best series but it’s far from perfect. […]
You know, this time last year, I probably wouldn’t even be making this a separate article. Master Grades just weren’t my thing back then, but now, they’re pretty much my primary. I certainly haven’t given […]
Oh yes. It’s time for Gunpla Expo again. Gunpla Expo World Tour has come, and there are some pretty interesting reveals this time around: some kits getting announced that I thought we’d never see. Images […]
After a week delay, the Zeta’s build log is back. While my power was only out for about 39 hours, I still got pretty damn bored. So, I figured, hey, I’ll do some work on […]
Sometimes, I can be a big silly hypocrite. Every so often, a kit or toy gets announced that I get pointlessly vocal about. “Man, why are they clogging up the main line with that thing? […]
Pinch me, I must be dreaming. Two years ago I wrote a review for the Robot Damashii GM Sniper II, saying things like, “My god, dreams do come true!” because at the time, I thought […]
Remember when I first started doing build logs back in 2010 and in the middle of the Delta Plus I kind of just… stopped? Yeah. Sorry about that. Somehow I just lost my drive and […]
Let’s be BRUTALLY honest here. I love robots. You and I know that very well, but god, how could anything top that Sailor Moon Figuart announcement? Well, at this point, nothing really could, but that […]
Secret confession time! I’ve actually built a Master Grade Zeta Gundam 2.0 before. Well, that one was the Limited Edition White Unicorn version, and I did that just a few months before I started taking […]
