Youtube Video And Channel Up!

- Life Update -

#3

So I finally did it! I have now finally uploaded a video onto Youtube. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u9G03rCqsY

I know, I know. This it isn't exactly the Procon Boy FWA airbrush review, nor is it the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka review. Heck, it isn't even a review. It's just a simple unboxing. But not to worry! I've already filmed a review for a very special RG kit (well not really, it's just my first RG and the kit that got me back into the hobby). All I need to do if make the audio and upload it. 

It'll be up and done by tomorrow though so stay tuned for that! Also, I've already received some support from the some Youtube members and I can't thank them enough. They've really given me that push to create more videos - so I won't let them down.

Iv'e also decide to redo my video review for the Procon Boy FWA. I just thought that it was a little shaky and the audio just wasn't all that great so I'm going to redo it and maybe film tomorrow or something.

I'll be at uni tomorrow so I'll be able to upload the RG Kit Review. Really fast internet over there (considering it's Australia).

So that about does it for this update, I thank you guys for taking the time to watch the video and read this post. I hope for all the best on your Gunpla endeavours!

Bad Luck - Exam & Future Of This Blog

- Life Update -

#3

 

Bad luck - exam 

Another life update and a quite rather unfortunate one. So at the moment it's 1:30 PM - approximately 30 minutes into my exam..... or so I would have thought. Turns out I missed my exam.

 

I woke up at 10:20 AM, thinking I would arrive to Uni about an hour and a half early, you know...for good caution and all. Wouldn't want to miss out on my exam of course. By the time I get ready and arrive at the bus stop, it's 10:56. Two minutes before my bus comes, awesome! It's 11:06, why hasn't the bus come yet? I look back on the timetable and what do you know, the bus w2as actually at 10:54. What a bummer! That's alright, I'll just get to Uni an hour early, that's still pretty good.

 

I walk back home because well, I'd rather wait 30 minutes at home for the next bus than 30 minutes at the bus stop. It's 11:20, okay 10 minutes before my bus comes, I'll get to the bus stop early before I miss this one - just in case.

 

I'm waiting at the bus stop and think, 'well I might as well look at my timetable, for extra precaution of course'. I look down and to my dismay, the timetable says my exam was at 9:00 AM! My whole world just fell at that moment. 'How could this happen to me?!?!'. Turns out, the exam that was at one was the exam I have tomorrow.

 

So now I'm writing this now because well, I feel really bad and I might as well update you guys as to what happening with me at the moment. Just a string of bad luck!

 

On the plus side, I am still able to redo the subject, albeit it'll cost me another $1300 or so. It's an online only course so I guess it wont really interfere with my 3 and a half month holiday at the end of the year. I only half to rock up to the exam so it's not exactly the end of the world but still a huge disappointment. It feels like I'm going through a string of trials and bad luck at the moment

 

One more plus, after my exam tomorrow and perhaps getting an earful from my parents tonight (hopefully sympathy will befall them), I'll be able to get back to building model kits and I'll finally be able to make a start on my goal of modifying plamo!

 

Some Side Notes:

I'll probably be receiving a package by the end of the week with to model kits. They'll be a very nice addition to my backlog (fortunately decreasing although slowly), and will be a very refreshing change from gunpla. Still Plamo but don't worry, I think a lot of you guys will really like what's coming so stay tuned!

 

I'll also probably be posting a new page on this blog with my wishlist or at least, hopeful kits.

 

With almost a month holiday from now until the next trimester begins, it'll give me the perfect opportunity to start editing the videos I've already got lined up.

 

The long awaited (no one's really waiting on it, just sounds better) Procon Boy FWA airbrush, Mg Nu Gundam Ver. Ka and Mg Barnaby Brooks Jr. reviews are all in the works and in time pipeline. A HG Age Fx build video(s) will are also in the plans along with a definite review for it.

 

One more note, I may make a separate page for review as well, just to easily locate them for those interested.

 

Well, that about does it for this update guys, a rather unfortunate one accommodated with some bright news that.

 

Once again guys, I thank you for taking the time to have a read and hope for all the best in your Plamo endeavours!

Life Update #2

- Life Update -

#2

Well exams are tomorrow, just 12 hours from now and thought to take a small break from revision before heading off to bed. 

Unfortunately all I can think of right now is making a Hi Nu Gundam Custom Build with either the previously released MG Hi Nu Gundam, the MC Model Hi Nu Gundoom ( an original plastic recast of a resin kit) or the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Mg Nu Gundam Ver. Ka because of it's awesomeness its already a great base to make a Hi Nu Gundam build. Of course chances are, you've already seen countless Hi Nu customs where the modeller just did a straight repaint to the Ver. Ka. I'm leaning more towards a more customized build where I'll scratch build the backpack of the Hi Nu and attach it to the Nu Gundam. Of course there are also some more cosmetic changes that will have to be done but in the end, may make the most satisfying ways to build the Hi Nu. To top it off, the included base works x 1000 better than the Mg Hi-Nu's included base and makes posing the funnels x 1000 more menacing.

I also love the inclusion of the 'Psycho Frame' so that's always a huge bonus.

MG Hi-Nu Gundam

I have seriously thought about buying this kit so many times but there was always something about it that bothered me a little - enough to not have bought it yet. It does look nice but some things like the head design, the shoulders, the backpack and the limited articulation in the waist have made me hesitate pressing the buy button.

The thing I love about the kit the most (enough to make me really consider it an option) are the included effect parts. The Nu Ver. Ka. doesn't come with them and a Hi Nu just doesn't really seem to feel complete without them.

MC Model Hi-Nu Gundoom

This is a HUGELY infamous kit. I think it would be hard to deny that the kit looks a little better than Bandai's MG. However it gets an unnecessary amount of hate because it isn't a Bandai product. A Gundam kit that isn't produced by Bandai is not official. Period. But I just don't feel right calling it a knockoff, a bootleg, a fake and a replica certainly doesn't make any sense. A Gundam plastic model kit not produced by Bandai is called a fake. But resin kit or a resin conversion kit of the Gundam isn't called pronounced a fake? To me, that just doesn't make any sense. If a kit needs to be plastic in order to be labelled a fake or 'cheap knockoff' then that just doesn't feel right.

I feel it's the same people who label the MC Model Gundooms and the MC Model MG Tallgeese 3 a 'cheap knockoff' who are also praising the beauty of a resin kit. It just seems like double standards playing it's part here. 

NOTE: Please don't get me wrong guys, I fully support Bandai's kits and don't think it's fair to use a replica in a commission work unless your price is greatly marked down and the customer is fully aware of it's unofficial status. However saying this, I will not knock or see any person purchasing and building a replica negatively just because of their decision to save on a few extra dollars. It's a topic of feel should be expanded on in a later post.

Anyway, the reason I'm considering the kit is because of the awesome design of the beam sabre. That, and the fact that it's already a Hi Nu are the only reasons I'm considering it. Chances aren't very likely for this to happen as I would rather purchase a Bandai kit and support them than purchase a Non-Bandai kit. No matter what, a Bandai kit will always provide a little more superior product in it's make than Non-Bandai gunpla.

Anyway, that about does it for now. I think I'm just going to wrap it up here and head off to bed.

Once again guys, I thank you for taking the time to have a read and hope for all the best in your Plamo endeavours!
