Long story short, I had to get this to complete the Barbatos Lupus' look and its really worth getting. I got this from another local hobby store... I actually forgot the name XD But it's cool that they're the only that have it on stock and last piece too!

Let's dive right in!

HG 1/144 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode)

Good Morning everyone!

The last kit in my HGUC 1/144 scale, the other white horned devil. The one that always receives a lot of jokes because of its name.

Then again, it became one of the most iconic designs in Gundam history. Piloted by Banagher Links, a kid born from a rich bloodline but sadly he's illegitimate. His father still approves of him though and even entrusted the MS to him to protect the Laplaces box.

I can go on with the story but I'd recommend that you watch the ova series instead (It's has a 7 part mini movie series or the televised 25 eps format, just choose which one you can manage.)

Gundam Review: NG 1/144 XXXG-01H Heavy Arms Gundam

Good Evening Everyone!

Surprised that another review is up? Well, to keep up with the theme "Throwback Thursday", I decided to post a follow up from my previous review about the Wing Gundam which you can view here:

https://gunmod88.blogspot.com/2017/10/gundam-review-ng-1144-xxxg-01w-wing.html

What we have next is the Gundam who has a lot of stuff packed in its load out. Being Piloted by the silent but calm trow Barton which is the opposite of what his Gundam can do. 

I present to you the Heavy Arms Gundam!

Gundam Review: NG 1/144 XXXG-01W Wing Gundam

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Since it's Thursday, I decided to do a throwback. I'm gonna review my old Gundam Wing kits from the 90's

Starting with the boy that wears a sando and shorts in any occasion, the silent but deadly protagonist pilot of the titular MS, Wing Gundam. The first suit from Operation Meteor that appeared in the show.

Let's admit it, we 90's kids pretty much opened our eyes to Gundam Wing as our "first" Gundam experience. Some may say Gundam X or Gundam G. I used to rush home so I can watch it in Toonami.

I've seen those too but I didn't know at the time that they're separate shows but nonetheless we were all amazed on how awesome these mechas fight and how they look so damn cool.

 Anyway, Let's get on with the review.

Gundam Review: MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam ver. 2.0

Good Afternoon guys!

I should've done this a long time ago. 

I present to you the Grand daddy Gundam, all in its Master Grade glory. This is the 2.0 version which for me is one of the best kits Bandai has ever produce until the 3.0 version came out.

It's kinda weird to be into gunpla and not have any form of the RX-78. It's like a mandatory build for anybody who's into this hobby.

It doesn't matter what scale it is, it's THE Grand daddy Gundam, the one what started it all.

I build this prior to this blog but I managed to take pictures of the assembly because I really love this kit LOL.

Anyway, Let's start the review!

Still alive!

Damn. I forgot I had this blog.

Hi guys. Sorry for not posting the reviews I mentioned ages ago.

Ever since I started working as a Chef, my priorities are pretty f*cked up.

But I'll see what I can do to keep this blog going. I have tons and I mean TONS of new stuff. Sadly most of them are in the Philippines.

Oh yeah, I left Manila Hotel last year and I'm currently working in Intercontinental Qatar. Quite the leap huh? Been here since Aug 2014.

Big step for me. It was having second thoughts at first because I'll be far from my family again and second, there are no hobby stores anywhere!

Or So I thought...
