Wow its been a while since I last posted here! I actually meant to post here a while back but always got distracted by other things (just another slack excuse).

Anyway, Feet. You’re probably (not) wondering why I put up that particular title. Well I have them. I’d been having problems with my feet for a while – since the beginning of the year actually – and it got to a point that when I would walk from work to the train station (which could be a 20 minute walk and a casual pace) my feet would begin to ache, and then it got to a point that by the end of the working week I felt more like a cripple hobbling along with the amount of severe pain going through my feet, ankles, legs and knees. My Dr said that I may have a heel spur – a type of bone growth on the bottom of the heel so it feels like you are walking on a nail all day long (that was the pain I described I had). But the pain got really bad that I ended up going to a podiatrist who said “No , you don’t have a heel spur though you have similar symptoms. Your feet are flat – they have no arches so the muscles are pulling to a point where the muscle under the heel is tearing so it does actually feel like you might even be walking on the bone.” Not a nice description but that’s about what she said.

Late March I ordered my next Master Grade kit – the Neo-Zeon Mobile Suit MSN-06S Sinanju (“Ver Ka.”). Its not a cheap kit but getting it from HobbySearch meant that I could get it with a better discount on the price than getting it from HobbyLink Japan. Costwise, it was around $70 for the kit itself (AUD at the time of purchase) so it was definitely dearer than the other MG kits which are around $35-$50AUD.

This one is a Katoki version, meaning its been redesigned but because the gundam itself has not yet been seen this is its ‘original’ version. The Gundam comes from Universal Century: Gundam Unicorn and is to appear in the second episode of the OVA. This episode has not yet aired and isn’t yet due to air until around September this year. When the Unicorn Gundam first came out, it too was a Katoki version, but as soon as the first episode of the anime OVA aired, new versions were released to match the anime. They are also a lot cheaper than the Katoki version. There are also Titanium versions of both the Sinanju and Unicorn, which cost even more money but I was happy with just this version. I’m now thinking of getting the Unicorn (Ver Ka.) to match but the Unicorn has been a popular kit and I’m still waiting for it to be re-stocked. Read the rest of this entry »

Well I’m taking a break from work for a week and a bit which is great, should give me a nice refresher before returning to that awful place. Maybe I’ll be able to finally drop the blood pressure tablets…

I’ve got a few jobs to do around the place including working on Animay and getting that reasonably updated (as best I can) as well as other bits and pieces including putting together some more Gundam kits!!! I ordered a few a while back with the knowledge that I was taking this time off and so I will spend some of my time putting these gorgeous gundams together. There is still one on the way and I’m hoping that will arrive early next week so I can complete it before I go back to work. Read the rest of this entry »
