As you can see there’s a new theme for my blog site. Its Gundam related since I’m going to revamp the blog a bit to add in images and information on the Gundam Model Kits I put together. I’ve set up a page already and have put a few images up for the moment. I may have pages for each of the kits that I create and then have the image galleries linked from those pages but at the moment there is only one gallery up and that is the MG RX-93 Hi-Nu Gundam. Its fairly detailed and its likely to be the only one with that much detail at the moment though I may do that sort of thing in the future with other MG kits. I am in the process of taking better photos of my current completed kits though I will need to dust a few of them off before photographing!

Final Fantasy XIII is on its way! I received a phone call yesterday from EB Games Australia letting me know that my pre-order of the game would be there on Tuesday so I’ll be heading in straight after work to pick it up. I’m still waiting on Versus to come out as that’s the game I’m more interested in but I am still excited about this new FF game. I’ve seen very little in the way of video clips of in-game action – this was done deliberately as I wanted to play this out on my own without too much influence from the media and anyone else around me (like reviews in magazines and online). I’ve heard good stuff but I’ll be looking to play this game without too much concern on what others think.

I have finished Mass Effect 2. I finished it fairly quickly and am now eagerly awaiting Mass Effect 3 to see the outcome of my decisions in the game. Of course, there are still additional downloadable content (DLC) coming including the hover vehicle and extra missions, and I believe there is also another character you will be able to download. At the moment I’ve started Mass Effect over again with a new Commander Shepherd and ideas on how I want to play out the first game and porting them over to the second game.

Back to Gundam kits, I bought a couple of kits last week but have only finished one so far – the 105 Slaughter Dagger. It looks a lot like the Aile Strike Gundam though in black, grey and white colours. Its out of the Gundam Seed OVA “Stargazer” which I’m going to have to re-watch as I don’t remember much and certainly don’t remember these guys making an appearance. On the box it shows an image from the OVA with 3 of these Gundams just landing. It was an easy kit to construct as it was only a 1/144 and I was lucky to get it on special at the time. The other kit is Xist’s Mobile CGue which is also part of the Gundam SEED universe, namely the “Astrays”. I liked this one for 3 reasons: 1 – it has a good design, 2 – its red (I like red gundam kits) and 3 – it was cheap! I ran out of time this long weekend to build it so I’ll hold off on building it for another time. I’m also thinking seriously about getting 2 MG kits. I actually want the MG kit for the Sinanju, however that kit is expensive and the 2 MG kits I’ve been looking at are still good but cheaper to get together than seperately. One of them is the Aile Strike Gundam. I already have this kit but it has lost parts during a move around of rooms at my house and some parts are broken, so I’d like to get this kit again. The other is a white Zaku which is actually pretty cool and would be the first Zaku MG that I would be buying. Of course I could still buy the regular MG version of the Sinanju and be happy with that but the one kit I would like to get is the Kshatriya - I am hoping, however, that an MG will become available as I’d prefer to get an MG version than the HG version.
