Project: Galaxy (Part 4)

Ever had that feeling where your goal seems to be further away even as you get closer to it? I’m there right now with Sheryl!
All the parts are painted (OK, the huge bow needs a little more work) but each time I look at her, I keep thinking that I need to do more!!

One thing [...]

Winter WonderFestival Loot (+ some extras)

Well, I did say that I didn’t buy any of the garage kits I liked at the event but that doesn’t mean that I went away completely empty handed! I made a few orders via tokyohunter, before the event and he managed to get me a few items. And here they are!

They’re a little different [...]

Project: Galaxy (part 3)

I had planned to do a mini-review of Bioshock 2 for this weeks post, but unfortunately my Xbox 360 decided to do the inevitable and gave me a RROD. Damn…
Admittedly, I haven’t been giving Sheryl the time she deserves in order to complete her, but with Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2 and then Bioshock 2 being [...]

WonderFestival 2010 Winter Garage Kits

I think I’ve collected up enough photos now…
Surprisingly, there were quite a few good kits on show at this years event. A few of which I might even try to obtain at a later event. Unfortunately, buying a new kit right now would be an impossibility but I did get a few things from WF. [...]

WonderFestival Winter 2010 Preview

With wonderfestival set to occur this weekend, I’m preparing myself for my usual custom of going through large numbers of Japanese sites for event coverage and pics to pick out some of the kits which stand out to me.
Johnson Huang over at Garage Kit Haven has already written up a few posts regarding kits which [...]

Volks 1/4 Ayane, Now in COLOUR!!!

Man, that took them long enough! Volks have just updated their figures page with colour pics of their 1/4 scale Ayane from ninja gaiden Sigma 2!!

And I’m left with a bit of a “meh” feeling, much like how she was when the kit was lacking colour. It’s still not a bad kit, but it simply [...]

Nothing to see here!

Another year, another momotato style roundup! Here we go!!!
Top Shows of 2009!

I really wanted to put in Eden of the East in there as well as I thought that was a great show, but since it didn’t end and we still have to wait for a conclusion, it didn’t feel right to include it. At [...]

Santa Claus will gun you right down!!

*whew* made it (tho truth be told, she was finished on Sunday and some of the regular visitors have already had a sneak peek). Here’s my festive project and, probably the last one I will do in 2009, Santa Hoihoi!!

I have read the manga, Watched the OVA and played the game (yes, there was an [...]

Volks 1/4 Ayane prototype revealed!!!

A link to 2chan provided by figure.fm member, chuachuram provided a little fun today in the form of the first pic I have seen of the 1/4 scale Ayane kit from volks, sculpted by Chorosuke.
There are still no pics on the volks site (I think they’re going straight for the colour shots) but for those [...]

Murder on the Dance floor (Beta version)

…Well that didn’t go well. I had hoped to have completed Hoihoi by now in time for Christmas but I had a little… mishap. I’m still pretty sure that I will be able to finish her in time for next weeks post and unveiling, in fact, she’s pretty far along but not at a stage [...]
