Gundam Strike-E IWSP

May 21, 2008 By: marvin Category: Stray Thoughts, Model Kits, Gundam 28 Comments →

Strike-E IWSP
Have been building the Strike-E Gundam IWSP Lukas O’Donnel Custom for a while now, and only got to finish it 2 days ago. so I decided to take some shots of my newly finished Gundam last night. speaking of last night, hope everybody would induldge my little off topic comment, but I got invited to a dinner event at Shangrila Grand Tower last night, and won a lunch/dinner for two at their posh buffet restaurant and a free massage at luxurious Chi Spa Edsa Shangrila. Must be my lucky rabbit’s foot or most likely my lucky pregnant wife. LOL
Anyway back to the gundam, I was actually originally hesitant on getting a MG Strike. Especially one with an Integrated Weapons Striker Pack, since I already have the PG Strike and the Resin IWSP for PG Strike by G-System shop.
Strike Gundams
With no new MG release that made me go “oohhh, aaahh” during the time I wanted to build a kit, I decided to build the best looking gundam I could find.

Loved the fact that it had a lot of weapons and extra hands. felt like I was playing with a giantsized GFF than a MG kit. ^^ Strange thing though, the Strike-E doesn’t have a beam saber. the closest thing would be the beam boomerang. but then again with the number of weapons this gundam has, what would he need a beam saber for? ^^

Personally I find building MG gundams kits Theraputic, granted it eats up a lot of time and is a lot of work to paint. But building them somehow relieves stress. I even heard from a very reliable source that it stimulates the brain. ^^
Saber and Strike-E
I usually paint my gundams with flat colours, this time however I decided to do something new, and paint the Strike-E bright and shiny. thus the silver paint job. ^^ hope everyone likes it. ^^

the gundam is actually more possable without the IWSP restricting its joints.

Took some images of my revoltech Gurren Lagann, I remember complaining about the quality of these revoltech toys, however after seeing the Gurren Lagann as well as Revoltech’s Fraulein line, I have to say They are getting better on what they do.

The Mummy 3, tomb of the dragon emperor

May 19, 2008 By: marvin Category: news, Stray Thoughts, Movies 2 Comments →

Mummy 3 Poster
looks the Trailer for the Mummy 3 is out. unfortunately it looks like Rachael Weiss won’t be joining this third installment of the mummy.
Explorer Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraiser) together with his son Alex (newcomer Luke Ford), and wife Evelyn (Maria Bello) join forces with a sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) goes up against a resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li), as they must stop the emperor mummy’s plans to take over the world.
synopsis below taken from imdb
also check out the trailer below.
Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress to spend eternity in suspended animation, China’s ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have laid forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O’Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents.
As the monarch roars back to life, our heroes find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force…unless the O’Connells can stop him first.
