First Images for New Voltron Series

The new Voltron series is to premiere Spring of 2011 (which should be soon) from Nicktoons. I love the new designs. Very animated in its own style but shows wide distinction between the five lions. Such distinction include their various weaponry, the classic rounded look of the Green Lion and an addition of an extend lower jaw for the Yellow Lion to give it a more brutish look.

I'm really looking forward to this series and hope that it does justice to the 80s Voltron that we all grew up to love.

MechaPinoy's Formula 144 Contest 2010

Here it is folks, the biggest MechaPinoy event of the year, Formula 144. The contest is set to be held during the IPMS Nationals event, in SM Megamall on November 15-21, 2010.


As the name suggests, the goal of the contest is to focus on the 1:144 scale GunPla models.All 1:144 Bandai kits are eligible be it retro, HG, FG, ungraded or the more recent RG. There will be two categories: Beginner and Experienced.


For the Beginner bracket, the kits should be built out of the box, meaning no modifications or add-ons. Only the contents of the kit itself can be used. Competition in this category is based solely on basic kit building skills such as sealing, painting and proper assembly. Custom paint jobs are welcome.


For the Experienced bracket, mods are all-out as long as all parts are 1:144 scale or non-scale such as Kotobukiya add-ons. Contestants that have won before may only participate in this category.

WIP: HG Zaku Phantom Spawn Custom FINAL

Getting there. I realized I havent been updating my blog much. So many photos have gone by.

Backpack overview.


Marks and topcoat. Bosny Flat Clear.





Chain chuvaness. Wrists, left knee and right waist.



Thruster bells to give it a Char-three-times-faster-than-a-normal-zaku feel.



Mods on the shoulders.



Noob weathering.



So, Choliks gave me a bazooka (thanks, man!) to add so did that and I got rid of the teeny weeny Zaku machine gun. Also, I bought Simon's Zapper Zaku (thanks, man!) to get his gatling gun this last Mechameet. Zaku + gatling gun = WIN.




So I scrapped the left shield, and put the right shield on the left.



Zipper thing for the gatling's belt clip. Superglued the tips before cutting just to make sure it doesn't split down the middle.

WIP: HG Zaku Phantom Spawn Custom Part 3

Seems I've been forgetting to update this. It's already completed though XD
Quick update for now.

Cement didn't do it all the way for the thigh seams so I had to putty.


Mono eye cut out from MG Wing Ka's beam saber runner. I knew the translucent green plastic would come handy someday.



I cleaned my desk up coz it was too messy to work anymore. There, nice and neat. Did this while curing cement, glue and putty.

Review: HG 00 Gundam Seven Sword

Here's the kit 2010 kit I've been waiting for-- HG GN-0000GNHW/7SG 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G!
Man, that's a mouthful. The best 1289 Yen I've ever spent!

Photoreview time!


Packaging.


Contents. Kinday blurry. Two new runners for the 00.


It comes with the same stickers as the 00 Raiser. Not just plain green.


Front. Stickers not applied yet.


Rear. The slot's just waiting for an XN Raiser. *hints hints*


Time to showcase the weapons.


Here he is beside the 00-Raiser


Weapons.


GN Buster Sword first mode.


GN Buster Sword Giant Katar thingy mode.


GN Katars.


GN Sword II Long and Short.


The Rifle. Yeah.


Standard 00 Beam Sabers. Nothing interesting.


GN Buster Sword in storage mode. Size comparison with GN Sword II and III.


And in battle mode.


More size comparison.


Long and short GN Sword II compared with standard GN Sword II.


GN Sword II Short and its extension thingy.


GN Katar compared to GN Shield Katar.



Verdict:

There's really nothing to say, I just love it. XD

Mechapinoy on TV!

Mechapinoy had an (extremely short) interview with MOGTV which aired on local station TV 5 last January 29 at 11pm. The guys said they were there for half a day and so we waited for it to air. The entire segment was only about two minutes long, but what amount of screen time is screen time nonetheless XD

The blog post on their website was pretty hilarious starting with a picture of our founder Richie Ramos, followed by "Malamang eh iniisip n'yo ngayon, "WTF, sino 'yan?"". Lol. Hahaha.

More or less unimpressive, but it's a 2-minute even worth mentioning and and telling the story of over and over again. That's it for now. Zedd Arckham out.

WIP: HG Zaku Phantom Spawn Custom

This will be my entry for MechaPinoy's In-house Contest, Zakuhin Mo Mukha Mo!

The Kit. HGGS Blaze Zaku Phantom.


The original backpack. Zaku Blaze Wizard.


Noir Striker pack.


And there. Basic kitbash.


First modification. Adding a crotch slot for display base connector.




Other than the paint job, here's one of a few selling points that makes the Spawn Custom. Spikes.
Sprues, cut into shape and sanded down to point.



Cement into place.



Progress report.
