Okay, some bits of nonsense before we continue...

HG (AGE) 1/144 Zeydra AlterAxia Review

-=-=-=-=INCOMING TRANSMISSION=-=-=-=-

A few good news AND a whole lot of bad news...

The bad news first: due to dwindling funds, any future Gunpla purchases will have to be put on hold. I plan  to have everything running again by December. Just need to save a lot for the war chest...

And just when I'm seeing new kits expected for release in the final quarter of 2012 (RG ZETA, NOOOOOO!!!!)

The good news though: this actually gives me time to clear up the blog backlog. And we begin with what probably the final review for this year. An omake is scheduled later on...

So, shall we?

HGFC 1/144 Shining Gundam Review

Yeah, quite a long-delayed review this, considering the fact that I purchased this baby a few days before Christmas, roughly the same time as the Zaku F2000 (before I gave it the GS-A treatment.) Nonetheless, this is gonna be the very first time I merge the WIP with the review.


So time to get this overly-long and quite overdue review going... WITH THE HELP OF KYOO- *slaps...

Zoidiect's Base Zeydra GB: Project AlterAxia Quick Summary

=====INCOMING TRANSMISSION=====


Here comes another Skunkworks exclusive, this time in tune with The Zeydra Group Build/Kickcharge contest. In the first place, I did not intend to pick up any model kit from the Gundam Age series, since: one, I have not seen the series yet; and two, most of the mechs there do not appeal to me that much. Then came this bad boy, as piloted by some white-haired chap who stands in as a Char for this series.


Boxart is quite aplenty with the red bits, but why use yellow as well? Anyways...

MS-06F2000/GS-A Zaku Custom F2000 (Ghost Squad-Assault Type)

=====INCOMING TRANSMISSION=====

I now officially introduce to all the second addition to the CelPrev Skunkworks Exclusives, as featured in the Mech Arts Community Zaku Group Build. Do bear with me on some of the details; some were last-minute rush fixes that I unfortunately overlooked. '^^

MAC Zaku GB: The Work-in-Porgress Summary

=====INCOMING TRANSMISSION=====

Yup, time to do some revealing on a few long-delayed projects straight from the Skunkworks. Starting off would be this behemoth, as entry into the MechArts Community Zaku Group Build:

Yes, I took the liberty of repainting and modifying this SOB into a slightly lighter-feeling Assault-type Zaku (sort of), then giving it a proper assortment of custom weapons for various mission types...


Here's some of the work-in-progress pics:

You can also view the WIP in-detail at the MAC Forums Workshop

I'll be doing the full reveals within a few days time, see ya there... ^^


=====END TRANSMISSION=====

MC 1/144 Hi-Nu "Gundoom" (NT-ZERO Type) Review

Yeah, so this is it. The supposed final chapter of the Impending [Gun]Doom series. The post where the lowdown on the Hi-Nu NT-ZERO type will be unveiled. It now ultimately culminates after nearly a full year after its purchase (took a veeeeeery long time, too...)


P.S. Seems after doing this, my taste for customizing Gunpla just leveled up one notch; makes the Red Comet Project look like child's play...


Well anyway, let's get this s*** over with... (As for the WIPs, just sift through the site...)

Oplan I[G]D Phase 6: NOT GvGN Plus*

* Short for Gundam vs. Gundam Next Plus, predecessor to Extreme VS...


-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----


Been two long months since the last post ( I even forgot that I already went past the 60-post mark, such a douche of me... '^^), due to academic BS and some indirect procrastination on my part. But then again, the show must go on, and so shall the climax to the Impending [Gun]Doom Series. Expect the review within the next few days... I promise... '^^


Anyways...

Oplan I[G]D Phase 4: Switching Cockpits...

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----


Time to start the Omake series for this project, as I have more or less fixed the niggles, and added a few more details to the Gundoom.


So, without further ado...

Oplan I[G]D Phase 3: Commencing Side-Project NJ and Final Body Fitment

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----

A few bad news first: during the construction process of the Hi-Nu Gundoom, a peg from one of the normal-size beam sabers broke. As a result, I had to do some emergency repairs, poor man style, thus delaying for quite a while the culmination of the WIP/Omake on this kit. 


However, this predicament did open the floodgates for improving on the Gundoom's existing weapons, particularly the Soul Cleaver system. Thus this post...


As for the good news: I'm almost done with the photoshoot process; practically completed majority of the omake part and will begin with the review photoshoot later on.


So, anyway... 

Oplan I[G]D Phase 2.5: More Snap-Fit pics and The Paint Process...

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION----

As of this blog post, the entirety of the MC Hi-Nu Gundoom has been finished, including the new add-ons to its arsenal. However, I'll be putting that on hold as I'm still working on the review and omake time lines for this bad boy (also add the factors of inter-semester anxieties, volunteering for the upcoming Bar Operations, and of course plans for Christmas...

Speaking of review, I'll only be doing the same AFTER I have done the omake for it, unlike the first two series. Anyway, let's move on to the matter at hand...

Oplan I[G]D Phase 2: The Snap-Fit Attempt

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----


As promised, I will post an update regarding the controversial MC Hi-Nu Gundoom, and the attempts at giving it the CelPrev harbinger treatment (in fact, I've already finished the basics and planning on giving it more weapons to hold.) However, with Final Examinations looming, the rest of the WIP will have to be put on hold.


So, on to our usual programming...

Oplan Impending [Gun]Doom: The 'Quick Unboxing' preview...

After over half a year of waiting, earning, and searching...








FINALLY...

Inspiring the Inner Child: The Behind-the-Scenes Omake

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----

Finally, I begin with the long-promised omake behind my MechArts Community Anniversary Wallpaper entry. Furthermore, I will be attending the Anniversary Party this coming 27th August (roughly 3 days before Midterms Season... XD); expect the sights, sounds, and all other crazy stuff in between by next month... XD


For now, we go back to our usual programming...

Operation MasuRE: Return of the Black Samurai Pt. 3

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----


As part of the CelPrev First Anniv, I wiill be posting a couple of omakes back-to-back. This is because, contrary to what I have planned, I have to save up some more moolah for the MC Hi-Nu Gundoom purchase. Some obligations, along with law school missions, are continuing to take a toll on my time, stamina, and funds...


Anyways, on to our usual programming... XD




P.S. Post is VERY heavy on photos; make sure to view in at least a direct-wire Broadband connection...

CelPrev Quickie Post: 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero "Re-Custom"

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION-----


Now chances are, you've been reading updates from Gundam Guy, particularly on customized model kits featured in Japanese magazines such as Dengeki Hobby, Hobby Magazine, Gundam Ace, and the like. This particular custom-built model kit, as featured in Hobby Mag's August issue, didn't just made my optics lock in; it made them zoom so close to the laptop that I had to squint a bit to realize the awesomesauce.

HG 1/144 Masurao Review

*INCOMING TRANSMISSION...*


Another year in Law school is about to start as of this posting, so I'll just have to make this quick. Prepare for a bit of a surprise later on as part of this blog's First Anniversary... ^^


P.S. The following pics were shot using the Nokia N8-00 that I got from my dad after trading back his N95 8GB along with my C3-00.

In response to the emergence of Full Frontal before the entire CelPrev roster (which included a heated hell-raising on a certain maroon suit, two men embarked on a journey to counter this threat. Which meant travelling to their old base of operations to retrieve and revive a derelict suit...
