..and the horrible June. Oh, merchandise that robs me of my cash. T_T

The above is my current wallpaper.

This month marks the start of mass moola flying out from thy wallet.

The era with Psycoframe.

Without a doubt, the time when Nu Gundam appeared, together with the ‘new’ Londo Bell faction that Amuro Ray was in, it made the Gundam design back to basics, with a good touch of change in terms of simplicity.

If you all -still- haven’t know this, I’m quite a big Minorin fan. But due to some monetary restraints, I couldn’t go all out, and I’m not that crazy till a point of insanity and blowing off 100,000 yen on Minorin stuff.

Many thanks to Cynewulf and double from SGAB for getting me the CDs!

Side note : I had a gunpla photoshoot with iron2000, will be posting pictures of 1/144 HGUC Nu Gundam and 1/144 HG Thrones Eins soon.

Hi again, kind of the first proper post. Anyway, in this installment of “SD Photoshoot” I’m going to showcase my build up of the SD Ryuubi Gundam.

This morning marked the end of a great sequel to a great series, Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Partings are sour. T_T

However, in this last episode.. SHAFT goes all out. To the point that they packed this episode with plenty of LOL/ZOMGWIN/EPICSHAFT moments (At the very least, for me).

And ahead with the fangirling!

Spoilers ahead for those who don’t watch Gundam 00. Anyway I’ve digitally enhanced that picture with some tools, and the following will give you a brief picture on how Gundam 00 (yes it’s an actual gundam) looks like.

Nice to meet you…

Hello, iron2000 here.
I’m a friend of sentinel011.

He invited me to join his blog to write articles about gunpla.
After much thought, I gave it a try and agreed.

While lurking in several corners of the internet over the past week, I came across this handy plugin for Firefox (and Thunderbird), Rikaichan . While popup browser dictionary/translators are nothing new, I was attracted to Rikaichan’s neat popup layout :-

(Put to the test with Eretto-san’s blog)

Now, this is really helpful, especially when I need to figure out how to read kanji (It also makes lyrics romanization a whole lot faster :3)

Also wonderful is its ability to look for meanings of phrases, as opposed to single-character translation. Oh, and in addition to Japanese it supports Russian and German too, but I don’t have much use for those at the moment ^^;

(And we’re another step closer to reading moonspeak! lol.)

For more detailed features (and of course, downloads), visit their site

And I conclude this little random post.

The new scans from HobbyJapan and Dengeki Hobby made me tear my hair since they’ve finally released kits that I really like.

But for now, let’s look at the new MSV for Kyrios.

Kyrios looks like a Bst(booster) version of Kyrios, and the plane mode looks mighty sweet. No doubt this will be a space equipment, considering the amount of ship-class type boosters it has. The railgun rifle looks nice, too. A pity they omitted Kyrios’ shield for this design. My wish is for it to have some sort of sensor on the left side of the shoulder, or a missile pack.

Okay, enough with design analysis, let’s go on to the gunpla!

Not much WIP stuff to discuss about, but pretty much everything is hand-painted. Pretty satisfied with the overall look! Pity it didn’t have dual beam sabers.

And up on Youtube in 2 parts

Official site up with only a placeholder image

Due for release July 10, P4 is supposedly a sequel to Persona 3. They upped the production quality of the cutscenes, the maps look more detailed and everything looks slicker.

Satte, more after the jump :3
