Gelgoog-otousan Complete

September 10, 2009
Finally got outside to take some pics before the sun started to dim.

Finally got outside to take some pics before the light started to dim.

 Finished off using a dark grey Gundam Marker (GM38), grey artist brush pen(with lots of pigment in the ink), black 0.05 pigment pen and flat matt plastic varnish, or more commonly to gunpla makers, topcoat. Of course the dry transfers too, applied before the topcoat was, thougth that’d be best.

1/200 HCM Pro Zaku Warrior

August 30, 2009

My little loot from my trip to Norwich on saturday. And technically I only bought Zaku, cos ‘Cat Paradise’ was in a 3 for 2 offer in Waterstones, and my brother was buying Haruhi manga(I did warn him it ain’t the same though…) I thought £6.95 was a bit much, but the Japanese packaging was too much to pass up, I woulda bought any of the Mobile Suits, was very much an impulse buy. But I recently found out I am, what you’d call, a Zeonist, a fan of the 1-eyed Mobile Suits, Gelgoog, Zaku, Dom’s(whatever Dom’s are… will have to search that lol). 1500 yen on HLJ. Still in stock atm lol, released in 2005 originally.

An itty-bitty gundam! So very tiny at just 9cm in height! About the same height as a Nendoroid, tiny bit shorter me thinks. More past the cut!

Spring Season Anime Choices

April 7, 2009

Because the new season of anime has come round once again, I find myself picking new shows to try. I think I have 10, 13(edit: not 10 lol, 14 including Haruhi 2….) lined up to try so far…. 2 of which I’ve already tried and liked, and one I dumped before even watching the whole thing lol. Not only the new season stuff, I’m catching up on recommended titles like Nanoha(on A’s now) and Bamboo Blade(on ep 2, tis gud, so far.)

My current background. Mio-love!

Strike Witches ep 9 – Defend at All Costs – Preview

August 29, 2008

I know, its late. The Greys Anatomy 2-part finale screwed me over… I totally forgot about the Crunchy Roll showing of ep 9. Luckily I found an mp4 to download(I didnt tell no one nothing…), much better and bigger picture, so I’m pleased. Now onto some screenshots. I liked this episode. Really like the Neuroi this episode.

If you remember the end of last weeks episode, this is pretty much where we left it. All right, exactly where we left it! lol.

Thats it for now. As I type I listen to ‘Sanya no Uta’ and prepare for beddy-byes. (And ep 7 of Denno Coil :grin: ) I will post more when I get back from work. (Work AGAIN! Bah….) Do enjoy these in the meanwhile. I think those who have seen ep 9 will agree with me that it was rather spiffing. And those who haven’t, WATCH IT NOW!!

I really don’t think theres much pantsu in this episode!! YAY! Maybe thats it, maybe they were over-compensating because they knew there wouldn’t be much pantsu in this episode!!

Anyways, more later.

Strike Witches ep 6 Solidarity – Teaser

August 7, 2008

Just posting this before I go to bed. Todays ep seems to have eased up on the fanservice.(Anything that could be construde as fanservice is tastefully; and I mean that, covered up, with careful rays of light or such like. It doesnt seem like blantent fanservice like some of the previous episodes have. The tone seems to have quietened. Good thing. And Sanya seems like a nice character. Probably why the tones quietened.

Three in a bed? And the little one said? ......

Sanya is the bottom left girl, holding the stuffed toy. Will be intresting to see how her story pans out.

AND, shows how much I’ve been paying attention… apparantly its 1944….. :doi: I honestly don’t remember seeing any other dates at the bottom of the screen untill now. Maybe in the first ep, but that was 6 weeks ago!! My memory ain’t fantastic lol.

EDIT: The end of the episode has a pretty moving bit and a nice piece of music, so if you cry easy, be prepared. The ed song is also probably my favourite so far, sung by, I assume, Sanya and Eila.
