Honestly, it’s been a while now since I finished putting the kit together. I just didn’t have time to snap pictures and post them here. LOLz. Anyway, this kit’s much more gratifying compared to the
Blitz Gundam kit that I bought last September. The parts are more detailed, there are more stickers included, more joints (hence more moves).
I was my excited and perky self again the moment I bought the kit. It was one day before my days-off. I had planned it that way in order to have an unlimited amount of time to assemble and customize kit.
I got home late, sat in the dining room, and tried to decide whether to wait until daylight or put the kit together right away. I decided on the latter, envisioning the tongue lashing that would greet me a good morning if the wife sees me with my toy in hand (LOL?) instead of cooking breakfast.
After a horrible night’s sleep I woke up early, cooked breakfast for the wife, sent her out to work and half-ran up the stairs in order to start building the kit. I didn’t bother with breakfast. I just had a can of Coke, a bottle of water, and a pack of Marlboro Lights. I started looking reading the manual at around five o’clock in the morning but got to the actual assembly at around seven.
So a sore hand, a ridiculous smile, a rumbling stocmach, a pack of cigarettes, and 12 hours later, my new Gundam kit, with several modifications, was completed. I was ecstatic and showed my wife my new toy. I got a shrug - ten thousand times better compared to a blank face. ^_^
And so, without further ado, I bring you geeks-without-a-life, the newest addition to my Gundam kit collection - RX-178 MK-II Titan, modified with matte coating and black hydraulic tubes (not visible asshole). Enjoy! (more…)

I’m back to being a kid again!
A few weeks ago I bought the GAT-X252 on a whim. Nina and I were at the Podium. We were supposed to go to THE SPA. See, one of my bestest friends gave us two gift certificates for Executive massages for our wedding (nope, the wedding post is still being completed, so no article yet). Unfortunately, due to some complications, we weren’t able to avail of it, so we settled for a snack at Lord Stow’s instead. While, Nina was munching on her Chicken Supreme sandwich, I lazily browsed through the toys on display at the Toy Kingdom. Only one thing caught my eye: The GAT-X252 kit priced at only 400 pesos. Normally, I’d stray away from these types of hobbies. Not only are they expensive, but they also take up time, effort and patience. Seeing as I couldn’t resist the urge to spend on something that I can see everyday, I hastily purchased the kit.
When we finally made it home, I excitedly started putting everything together. After about 45 minutes, I was done — but disappointed. Not only was the kit small, but it had limited movements and boring colors as well. Needless to say, I spent money on something that I was sure that I was going to enjoy, but ended up sulking. Masturbation would have been time well spent as compared to putting a 1/144 scale model together. (more…)
