Gundam Galore
I usually try to write a wee bit about each photo every time I upload gallery pics but if I did that today then you would have to wait an eternity because thats how long it would probably take me to write up this second installment of the Plamo Radicon show as there are 85 pics for you to feast yer mince pies on ;-)
Coming after this will be Part 3: Armored Core, Part 4: Planes, Part 5: SD Gundam, Part 6:Figurines, Part 8:Guns, Part 9:Bits n bobs but not necessarily in that order.
GM Sniper looks really nice even though its a HG.
MG Freedom and Strike MG were probably the center pieces of the booth even though we all knew about em already.
Stargazer was on display looking not that hot at all.
Mobile Suit In Action Sazaby looks surprisingly good but not as good as the Special Finish HCM Pro Sazaby - Im kicking myself for getting the previous one recently. Urgh.
Bandai had a Zak head diorama which was pretty nice. I think there is a scalled down version of Zak's head coming out as a model soon though.
The small retro Gundam kits were sooo cool - would you buy?
BTW, was going to wait until I wrote up the post (my wife took loadsa pics during rehearsals) to let you know that I made a live TV appearance live on Tokyo MX yesterday. But it looks like Roy spilt za beans ^^; Will let you know the nitty gritty details next week.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

@Berto.
I would advise you to check out codyscoop.com. He has a lot of tutorials on building/painting gunpla models/anime figure. From the basic/starter stuff to advance builders. I hope I helped.
I'm quite curious about that Zaku sniper mobile suit. I want it, I would like to see a camo scheme type of coat job on it.

@ berto -
If you mean removing the parts from the tree (the plastic rectangle that all the parts are on) then you cannot push them out. You have to cut them free. There are 'snips' out thre (T@miya et al make them) or you can use a modelling knife. Once you have cut them from the tree you may have some of the 'gate' material on the part (the gate is the part of the tree that actually attaches to the part). Remove this with the craft knife, or some sandpaper (400 grit or finer). Be careful not to chew into the part though.
As for paints, if you are in the UK, you are pretty much stuck with T@miya for acrylics, or Humbr@L and Rev@ll for enamels. If you are hand painting use thinned enamels, they brush better, but if you have an airbrush, use the T@miya acrylics, much kinder on the nose and easier to clean.
Have fun!
