Now I know why Bandai dont include etching decals with their kits and instead include gross looking stickers which spoil your work. The reason is that they want to make money from their line of water transfer decals (refresh that link if you dont see...

I know it can be a bit difficult (and expensive) getting hold of Japanese mags outside of Japan - so I thought I would share some of my monthly mags with you from now (it means I have to cut them up otherwise I cant get a good scan - but anything for...

This is Acguy from Bandai's HCM Pro series. These 1/200 scale figures came out last year - they are dirt cheap (about [currency=1500]) ,incredibly detailed and so maneuverable that you can pose them doing just about anything you want. And being 1/200...

It took me a while to get used to the character design but when I started to watch the **wing gundam,Wing Gundam** series I was hooked! This is <strong>XXXG 01W WING GUNDAM</strong> from Wing Gundam - a series which ran from 1995/04/07 to 1996/03/29....

So here are the most asked questions that I get every day! <ol><li><span class="boldblack">Where do I get Top Coat from?</span><ul><li>Well it depends on where you live - if you live in Japan - there are hobby shops just about everywhere (I have one...

When I first clapped eyes on this, I nearly soiled my pants while I was in the bookshop. I quickly channeled my reserve energy to my buttocks to hold in the previous nights sushi and paid for this months copy of <a href="http://www.mediaworks.co.jp/s...

Coming out this November from Bandai is the 1/144 scale High Grade Destiny Gundam. I dont have any HG models in my collection and have never really been too keen on them - they are aimed at two completely different audiences - one is the school kid (...

Just thought I would take a few teaser shots of PG Strike Gundam with the new SLR - more to come!

Since yesterdays post, I have had some death threats threatening that I would have my spleen ripped out and my brain urinated on if I didn't release the "Gundam Modeling Tutorial for Busy People" *now* - so here it is. As usual, I have used the Galle...

Another Fix Figuration (Zeonography) figure added to my collection. I cant remember which Gundam series this Ramba Ral appeared in - never the less - cool does it look indeed.

After seeing pics of my <a href="gallery_theme/eng/gallery_strike/photo/Bandai+Perfect+Grade+1%3A60+GAT-X105+Strike+Gundam/">Strike Gundam</a>, I know that many of you are thinking of getting hold of one but you may just want to hold off for a wee bi...

The PG MK-II was my first ever Gundam kit - I was lucky I chose the dark Titans version because if I chose the white AEUG version, then you'd would be able to see the mess that I made with the airbrush! Yet another cool-gundam-coming-soon-to-the-gall...

This was my second PG which I build over a year ago - I was not very good at inking back then but now that I'm a bit of a dab hand, I whipped out my Gundam markers and spent a few hours inking and here is the result - GP01 now looks so much cooler. N...

This is my latest model that I just completed - I think its my best effort so far. Will post 'the making' soon and along with it a full new brand spanking Gundam section! In the meantime - feast your mince pies on these teaser shots. <img src="/blo...

Well I am sure you have been waiting with baited breath as much as I have been to see the completed Bandai Perfect Grade 1:60 GAT-X105 Strike Gundam! I managed to find some time last weekend to put it together - and here is how it went.... <img src=...

Its here! T'was waiting for me in the offices when I got back - what a great welcome present (except that it was a present to myself). I can't wait (and I mean can't wait) to put it together - but need to find a place of our own first... <img src="/...
