Gundamaniac

Have just recently got myself a couple of Mechanical Chain Base by Kotobukiya, and I gotta say it comes quite handy whenever one needs to put one’s gundam (or any other scale model) in a Base repair scene. ^^ however I did find each base by itself a bit too small, probably just the right size for those 1/144 kits or GFF’s.

as pictured above, one can use the base individually, put them together sideways or on top of each other. one could probably even buy a whole lot of these and fill their wall with it. ^^ the 001 Mechanical Chain Base includes a trolley truck and hooks to hang weapons and stuff. 002 includes a movable elevating platform which can be interchanged with a clamp arm. and finally the 003 comes with a wall mounted walkway and what looks like 2 supply trucks.

as for me I decided to only get four of these. ^^

here you can see how it takes four Mechanical Chain Base to accommodate a 1/100 MG Hi-Nu Gundam.

one thing I didn’t like about it though was that the plastic surface reflected a lot of light, then again its probably nothing a little topcoat or matte spray paint can’t fix.

was able to take some time to watch two movies last week, the Simpsons movie and Disney Pixar’s Ratatouille. Although both are good animated movie to spend the weekend afternoon on. it doesn’t take half a brain (Homer sized or rat sized) to know both are totally different. 

Ratatouille is movie by Disney and Pixar. once again these two companies try their money making magic… I mean movie making magic to create a  heart warming tale about a rat who dreams of becoming a chef, find himself in Paris amid a human who happens to need to be able to cook. certainly like any other Disney movie, Ratatouille is safe for those who is in need of a little child friendly entertainment while still maintaining an appeal for more mature audiences.   

The Simpsons with its simplistic 2D animation never ceased to charm audiences in its almost 20 years of existence. making it one of the longest running TV series in American television. which makes one wonder, how come it took them this long to make a movie. probably as Homer put it, why would people pay to watch something they can watch on TV for free. ^^ Then again scenes like Homer giving everyone the dirty finger and Bart showing his spare finger wouldn’t probably have been allowed on TV broadcast syndication. suffice to say if one finds the need for a good ol’ naivete and laughter, this would be the best movie to watch.
