Gundam Crisis

good day to everyone. just want to share this link i found from Gunota Headlines. a 1/1 Scaled (that's lifesize to us) RX-78-2 Gundam for the Gundam Crisis in Fujikyu Highland, Japan, starting this month of July. i know this will be a great attraction. ^^,

how i wish we can go there and visit just the main attraction -- no tourist visa needed. well, that's a wishful thinking only, right? hehehe. ^^, guess, we have to wait for a footage aired at YouTube, huh? ;-)

here's some photos and clips from the attraction. enjoy!

DIGIRAMA (Digital Diorama)

good day everyone. just want to show this link to you guys. shared by my fellow GreatToys.net forumer V2, a 'DIGIRAMA' (Digital Diorama) made by a collector in Japan featuring Revoltech's EVA-01 Type F Unit figure:

click the photo to see the rest of his 'Digirama'

after seeing his 'Digirama', i got so inspired. and decided to do the same thing. but since i don't have the equipments especially lamps to do this kind of effects, i just used what i have. then add some 'light and special effects' later in Photoshop. and here's the outcome:

from this:

to this:

i think it came out nice. since 'DIGIRAMA' is 'IN' nowadays in Japan, i might use this in my next batch of reviews with my HCM-Pro Destroy Gundam figure. don't worry, i will also post here the rest of my previous reviews at GreatToys.net.

hope you liked them. enjoy!

ToyCon 2007 @ Megamall

me, in the Toy Convention 2007 held last June at SM Megamall.

my first post

hi everyone. i'm Noel from Las Pinas City, Philippines. and welcome to my world of GUNDAMs. this is a dedicated blogsite in which i will discuss my collection of Toys, Gundams, Figures, Toys, Figures, Gundams, Toys, Figures, and Gundams. (sorry about that... i have to stop my repeating self. hehehe.) on 'why i love them' so much. and 'why i can't stop collecting' them. ^^,

some of the Gundam-related toys i collect aside from various scale GunPlas are EMSiA, HCM-Pros, SEED Gashapons, & Trading Figures such as ADAPT & HYPER SEED.


this is me & my sister Jamie during my birthday last December 1984.
my japanese classmates gave me some Gundam MSV kits. ^^,

i've started building again Gundam model kits last 2002. stopped building them when we came home from Japan last 1985. we stayed there for 2 years. during that time, i was exposed to the old Gundam model kits. esp the MSV (Mobile Suit Variations) lines. since we came home, i stopped building them for some reasons. 1.) there was limited stocks of GunPla here in the Philippines. and you can only found them exclusively at specialty hobby stores. (e.g. Greenhills & VirraMall) and ofcourse, 2.) there's the 'money' problem too. i was 11 then. and money in those days is not free. i just can't ask my parents to give me toy allowance every month, can i? ^_^ and EDSA'86 happened... more crisis...

fast forward to 2007.

i'm working now... i'm earning... meaning, i can buy more GunPlas, right? ain't that sweet? (sorry bu, i can't help myself. ^^, )

nweiz, for the last 3 years, there's a lot of hit & misses with my kit building. issues on the sprues, seam lines, paneling, etc. after learning some techniques, tips and advices from fellow MechaPinoy.net and GreatToys.net forumers, i decided to go to the next level... airbrushing. so hopefully, later this year, i'll buy my first airbrush and will do my first 'airbrushed Gundam kit'. don't worry, i will do 'ala-documentary-kind-of-blog' here when i start doing my first 'airbrushed' kit. will keep you posted about that.

i will also post infos and reviews on some of the Gundam-related goodies such as figures, model kits, event shows and anime series.

so for now, feel free to browse the site. hopefully, i can update this site even if it's just about Gundams or GunPla for that matter.

ok, happy reading. enjoy! ^^,
