Freedom's Frame

Ok, the Destiny doesn't fit in my light box. So I'm trying to figure out how to take pictures of it properly. So for now, let's move to the other MG that I was working on: the MG Freedom.
Again, as you can see by the shoulders, this is one of the special editions - the Extra Finish Ver (or Metallic Version, if you want to call it that).
I can't seem to resist these special edition version of these kits.

Japan Trip is a No-Go :(

Well, that was a short-lived high. As I mentioned here, I thought we were finally going to Japan after waiting for 3 long years.

Unfortunately, it's not meant to be as the travel agency has informed me that there is not enough people to form the group for the tour, so we had to cancel the booking.
Oh well... I'm sure we'll be able to go one of these days...

Weapons of Destiny

After putting on the armor on the Destiny, I thought I'd showcase its weapons before I do the final assembly.

The MG Destiny comes with its trademark weapons: the beam rifle, foldable (or should I say sliding?) shield, the anti-ship sword, the beam launcher, and 2 combo beam boomerangs/sabers. If you add in the mini-cannons on its palms, the Destiny Gundam is one of the more heavily-armed Gundams in the Cosmic Era (Seed) universe.

Destiny Armored Up!

Following up from my last post on the MG Destiny, I now have the clear armor on the MG Destiny. Let's see if all that work I did on that inner frame paid off...

Destiny's Frame

Finally have some updates on one of the Gunplas that I've been working on.

Here is the inner frame of the Destiny Gundam after I've finished painting and detailing it. I did more detailing that I expected, but if you notice the shoulders, you'll see that this is the clear version of the MG Destiny Gundam that I got during Gundam Fiesta here in Singapore. So hopefully, all this work didn't go to waste :)

Japan Trip is a Go!

Went to NATAS Travel Fair this weekend and booked a Nagoya tour for us on 1st April.

We initially wanted Hokkaido/Tokyo but it seems that April is too early to see the flower farms. But we might still go to Tokyo after Nagoya and head home from there.

The wife's now looking at Japanese pearls and exclusive Burberry bags..
And here I thought that if it's a Japan trip, I'd be buying more stuff (toys) ^^;;;

Reach the Kill Screen!

The post's title is reference from Chuck's Season 2 episode, Tom Sawyer.
It's a nice surprise that Atari had launched a free-to-play web-based online multiplayer version of this classic game.
Game embedded after the jump.

Now to find my Rush cd...

Miku Miku Kagami

Scanning through my photobucket now to find some stuff I haven't posted here yet ^^;;;
Ah! Here's something from Lucky Star! It's Kagami cosplaying as Miku Hatsune, as seen in the Lucky Star OVA! She's usually called Miku Miku Kagami. I prefer calling her Kagamiku.

Kagami is my favorite girl from Lucky Star and... I had no idea who Miku Hatsune was when I watched the show, nor when I bought these figures. But if I was going to buy Kagami, it would be her cosplaying as Miku. It prevents me from wanting to buy the other figures in the series. I've enough figures lying around as it is T_T

Besides, Miku Hatsune's outfit is cool...

Bandai 1/60 VF-25S Messiah DX

The last Macross toy I bought was the 1/55 VF-1S Super Valkyrie by Bandai - years ago.
I've always liked the commander-type Valkyries from Macross and now we have the one from their latest series, Macross Frontier.
This is actually from the set that contains the armor parts. I just haven't had time to take pics of the armored Valkyrie yet.

I've decided to go with the toy version instead of the 1/72 model kits. Although more expensive, I got it at sale price, saving me S$50. Besides, this thing is bigger... and I don't have time to build any more model kits, aside from the Gunpla that I already have ^^;;;
