Since tropical storm Xangsane knocked out the power for the whole city, I guess there was nothing else to do but go out and take some pictures:

What I like about my neighborhood is that there are a lot of trees around. However once in a while a tropical storm passes by and rips these trees off their roots and leaves them for dead. there were so much uprooted trees around, it would have made a grown druid cry.
Xangsane
now these are what I call road blocks!
Xangsane

Xangsane
tree branches left on the road after the wake of the typhoon. these leaves and branches were actually flying around like green winged bats and deformed broomstick during the storm. I even had to dodge them while driving home.

Xangsane
I guess Someone upstairs is saying "thou shall allow parking here!"

Xangsane
the bus won't be stopping here today... good thing no one was hurt though.

Xangsane
1: cars driving up thru the pedestrian sidewalk.
2: This guy just realized that his car won't make it thru the flooded area
3: if you drive a SUV, you could probably brave the waters.
4: this guy is smarter... going thru the side of the street where there's higher ground.

MG XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 Ver Ka

Wednesday, September 27, 2006
what the!?! is it out? found this on Dalong.net to check out the parts click here. looks like this kit doesn't have polycaps, which makes it similar to that of the MG F91. It's a bit shorter than the RX78, and about the same size as the F91 and the Wing Gundam Ver ka. It comes with a cloth cloak, however the cloak look like crap. I suggest you just burn it or probably use it to wipe your *** when you run out of toilet paper. and like the Wing Gundam Ver Ka. it comes with a lot of stickers.
I'll probably get one as soon as its available here. Kudos to Dalong however to be able to get his grubby mitts on one this early.

looks like someone is having an early Christmas this year.

ugly looking cape... you'll probably be better off using a burnt up rag.

looks like the kit is a lot more flexible compared to other older kits

if you own a F91, you'd be glad to know the stand is compatible with the crossbone as well.

Finding time for Nemo

Tuesday, September 26, 2006
Since I've been collecting Gundam Fix Figurations, I'm starting to feel too lazy to work on my MG kits. however I've decided to start on my new project. the MSA-003 Nemo. I've already done some preliminary color scheme on it. hopefully I'd still have some free time tomorrow to start painting the kit.

Zeta Gundam Movie Gundam Fix Figuration

This is the figures from the Z Gundam Movie box set Gundam Fix Figuration. Although it was a lot cheaper than if I had bought them separately, it did have significantly less accessories compared to their individually boxed counterpart (no hyper mega cannon for zeta for example). However these gundams had other redeeming qualities. The finish on the blue parts had a metallic hue, and the 3 stand it came with were transparent. Overall it’s a good buy. But if you prefer your gundam fix figuration to come with a vast array of weapons and accessories I would suggest to stick with buying them separately.

HCM-Pro MSN-04 Sazabi

Wednesday, September 20, 2006
I got myself a HCM-Pro Sazabi a while back. HCM-Pro stands for the "High Complete Model Progressive" series that bandai has came out with. The normal HCM-Pro Gundam are only 1/200 scale as opposed to the PG which are 1/60, MG 1/100 or the HG 1/144. however the details on these plastic kits are really good, sometimes even better than their 1/100 counterparts. also if you find putting together your gundams a bit of a chore, you'd be glad to know these babies come mostly built, aside from small bits from part for the shield, weapons and interchagable hands. and finally the price, quite frankly the best bang for your buck! these things are quite cheap compared to other plastic kits with the same level of detailing.

here is a picture of the 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam with the HCM-Pro version for comparison

THE MSN-04 SAZABI!!!

and even the underside of this kit has a lot of details.

definitely worth every penny. (^.^)b
