Gundam Cafe – A shrine for fans of the Gundam Franchise

Being the rabid Gundam fan I am I was disappointed that I was unable to see the Life-sized RX-78 Gundam in Tokyo or in Shizouka. My last chance to see it was when it returned disassembled in the name of charity but I unfortunately missed out on that opportunity too because I wouldn’t arrive in...

Unicorn Gundam finally complete – some quick shots

After 10 months on on and off building I have finally completed building my 1/100 scale Unicorn Gundam. I have been tweeting progress shots for what seemed like an eternity as this model takes the prize as the most complicated Gundam kit I have every completed. The model was sponsored by Hobby Search...

Gunpla Family Web Drama

I’ve been meaning to share an interesting web series I discovered a while back via Twitter I think. A web drama featuring a Japanese family obsessed with Gundam anime figures or “Gunpla.” This web series was created and aired in Japan while Gundam OO was on hence there is a lot of reference...

Chibi Gundam Exia has fallen in Battle

My Chibi Exia figure was one of my favourite figures. He was my first SD scale Gundam figure I aquired almost 2 years ago. He was cheap, easy to build and had a energetic personality that only Seravee and Double O could control. I regret to inform you call that since teaming up with Chibi Gold Frame...

I’ve acquired a Unicorn Gundam Gunpla Kit!

I haven’t built a new Gundam model in quite a while, the last one I put together was the GN Archer just about a year ago. With my plan to visit Japan and all the saving necessary I have had to stop purchasing model kits and divert all that money to the Operation Visit Japan fund which is progressing...

Giant Gundam Returning with Beam Saber

Remember that Giant Gundam that was displayed last year in Shiokaze Park in Odaiba Tokyo? You know, that 1/1 scale , 18 metre, 35 tonne, mist farting behemoth that was visited by over 4 million people praying that it would come to life and defend Tokyo from future attack by Godzilla? It’s Back,...

Gundam 00 – GN Archer Figure

Its been a while since my last blogpost about a Gundam figure from the Gundam Double O timeline as I have fallen love with the beautiful but expensive Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann and been dazzled by the  sparkling chibi version of the Astray Gold Frame. It’s not surprising that my last Gundam...

Chibi Gundam Astray Gold Frame Figure

My 10th Gundam figure is the Chibi version of the Gundam Astray Gold Frame, a mobile suit from the Gundam Seed timeline of the ultra popular gundam anime series. I am 3/4 of the way through the Gundam Seed Destiny anime series but I haven’t seen the Gundam seed series properly yet, just a few random...

Arios Gundam Figure

Arios arrived with Cherudim over a month ago and can be seen in the test video I made of my room a while back. After Seravee, Double O and Exia this is one of the figures I was most looking forward to getting. The colour and ability to transform into a jet is kinda cool and unique. It was fun to build...
