New Gunpla Photo Studio

While I dump money into this leaky sieve of a house it’s important to remember, and enjoy, some of the benefits of home-ownership. One of those, however small, is having enough extra room to set up a dedicated Gunpla photo studio. Way overkill for most, it’s perfect for me. Having the proper space means I’ll be able to get consistent photos for my reviews and project updates. I’ll also have enough room for PG kits and larger, like the HG Dendrobium. Perhaps the best part is that it’s no longer in my living room! read more

Nu Gundam Ver. Ka

[flickr-photo:id=8508082991,size=n]

Yay, another project complete! As usual, a bunch of text on the build here, all the fun photos after. Jump down if you’re wise enough to skip my yammering.

So, aside from some issues here and there, the Nu ver. Ka is an amazing kit. Fantastic design, strong engineering, and a transformation gimmick that doesn’t impact the kit’s general functionality. One of the things that bugs me the most is the new hands. Woe is me that Bandai is going to be rolling them out full force. They’re too fragile and I’ve lost a few finger tips. I miss the hands that came with the Sinanju ver. Ka. read more

MG Nu Gundam – Finished

Behold, my finished MG Nu Gundam…

Some of you may remember when I posted work in progress photos of my Master Grade Nu Gundam and reviewed the clear pieces themselves even earlier. After a long delay I’ve finally finished the kit.

Over all, the MG Nu is a fine kit. It’s old school gunpla made with the purest of intentions. There’s a quality and design element lost with kits of this era that hasn’t translated to the modern MG kits (for better or worse). While over all the kit is pretty basic, the most impressive element was how Bandai bothered to include die cast metal parts for the lower legs. They dramatically lower the center of gravity and increase stability. Even the rest of the kit is quite sturdy. To sum things up, if you like the Nu design, this kit is a must have. read more
