New Shipment \ :) /

Well its been a few days and i finally shipped a whole bunch of stuff. Only two MG kits at the moment and a ton of extra parts which I'm am wrapped. A lot of the extra parts will be going to my current Zaku build an any other future Master Grade builds.


I didn't realize how many option kits and add-on parts I had bought. 




All the kotobukiya option kits most of them are for weapons or will modified into other weapons...or are attachments to modified weapons.



I have been loving the HiQ parts decals they are really sturdy and nice to put on. But this will be my first time with Wave decals so hopefully they are no different. And I'm liking the little animal markings too.



i am looking forward to building that Gouf's inner frame because from the reviews I have seen it is a really good kit (it uses some parts from the Zaku 2.0 frame as well). And of course our every elusive White Ogre which I will build last and with no modifications.



Lastly some builders parts add-ons. The mono eyes look really cool they just need a abit of paint on the housing of them and the inside can have maybe a bit of silver or white to make the lens more visible.


That's it for today but I guess soon I will have a post up about my progress :)

New stuff

So I buy most of my stuff from HLJ (HobbyLink Japan for those that don't know) just because its in English, most of products are not very expensive (I saw a HG Man Rodi for $6 NZD!!), the services is really good too and the Private warehouse option is great. Just make sure things are in stock or you might be waiting awhile for backordered or out of stock products.
Anyway I had my eye on a a few things on there namely a Master grade REzel and the MG Delta Plus which I have canned because a lot of the reviews I have read/seen the Delta Plus needs a action base because the feet are a bit loose. So I went for the REzel instead.

The second kit I was after was a MG 2.0 version of a Zaku, apparently as of 2016 this frame is now nearly 10 years old! Since I believe in walking before running I want to start off with some older or cheaper kits to get used to the MG types since I have pretty much just been working on HG kits for the last 9 months. I found the Zaku 2.0 J type which looks pretty cool and has some cool gimmicks too and low and behold these turned up yesterday 


I did get a green real touch marker that isn't in the picture. I want to see what I can do with it in terms of shading with it. 
I thought that the Kotobukiya shot gun would scale well with the Zaku kit but it looks like it might be a little small. But the attachments look quite cool though and could scale well with some of the other Kotobukiya weapon unit kits.

Next post hopefully a few more mods and goodies :)
