Beat Batman Arkham Asylum in 11 hrs yesterday, ending ina triumphant lap of the dinning room at 6 past midnight. Great game. If anyone has a really good PC, Xbox or PS3 I can not recommend this game enough.

So been a while. Lets get straight into into it then. Bought a Play Arts Kai Spartan Mark V (super soldier from the Halo Universe) the other day. It arrived today well packaged. Got the 10 inch figure out of the packaging and decide I want to switch the hands on the figure so he can hold the Assault rifle it comes with.

1 hr and some 30 odd minutes later, after chipping the red metallic paint on his back and quite possibly damaging the right arm, I eventually get the "gripping hand" on and put the assault rifle in place. £39.99 well spent


Not my actual figure

Well shit in my shoe's and call me Seagate, 367 days since my last post. Man, I have been neglecting my threads on this site.

In my last post I told you the fun tale of £40 action figure and his crappy hand's/wrist joints. I still have said Spartan plus his blue counter part who by the way also have the same fun-tastic wrist joints. Sticking a plastic figure under the heater just so you can put a different hand on and then putting it in the fridge to cool down can't do the figures much good.

But ladies and gentlemen although I imagine mainly, if not exclusively 100%, gentlemen I have moved onto pastures new in the world of crazy and expensive hobbies. Model kits Namely expensive only able to buy in Japan or Asia model kits. Gundam. An anime series/franchise which started way back in 1979 with its first series Mobile Suit Gundam. Since 1980 the toy manufacturer Bandai have been producing scale models of favourite giant robots of war. Either 1/144, 1/100 or 1/60 scale. Back then you had to glue together as well as paint your model, but in recent years that has given way to snap fit kits and colour separation so painting is no longer necessary.

Here be an image of a 1/100 Master Grade kit I put together over the weekend:


Its really interesting to put these kits together and you feel as though you have achieved something once its finished and all put together. Plus its a robot with wings with a little man sitting in the "OPENING" cockpit What's cooler than that? Cake :/
