Who is a big, yellow, sleek sports coupe and packs a mean punch? He also happens to be the other twin of Sideswipe. I’ve added a page on this bad ass Autobot in his new guise as a Dodge Viper SRT-10 Sports Competition Coupe in the Takara Binaltech Asterisks toyline. Well folks, I present to you, Sunstreaker.
I’ve finally managed to do the panel linings and the result was satisfactory for a noob like me. However, there are a few things I have learnt:
Here’s the link to the page on “Another Way To Panelling”.
In conjuction with the 2009’s summer action hit Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen, Hasbro released the Decepticon, Sideways in Deluxe format. We may recall, Sideways was just plain running away from the Autobots and the NEST strike team in Shanghai, before getting sliced in two by Sideswipe.
Although it was a bit part for Sideways, he is one hot Deluxe toy as is vehicle mode is a dark silver sports car. Car enthusiasts will say that, Sideways is a modified (cosmetically) Audi R8 Sports Coupe.
People were looking high and low for this guy. Fans were just snapping up Sideways together with Sideswipe. Needless to say Sideswipe was more popular, due to the reasons, he was the good guy plus h is vehicle mode is a concept car. As for me, Sideways looks cool regardless,of him getting having a Decepticon badge or a bit part in the movie.

Well, since my last post about using the Mr. Metal Color, I am pleased to say that I have completed the 1/100 GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia from the Gundam 00V. I’ve made some changes to the kit as retaining the chest vent from the Exia instead of going along with the pieces for the Avalanche Exia. In addition, I’ve even changed the color scheme. In my humble opinion, the Avalanche Exia has got too many yellow sections. I have also reduced the amount of red used.
Also, I’ve started to try to use some metal paints on this Gunpla. Besides the GN Sword, I’ve also tried the brass paint for the thrusters. Some aluminum paint was used for the eyes, the lower arm modules, the chest orb, the sides of the head plus a bit for the GN Drive. Since the Gunpla kit doesn’t provide green colored-translucent plastics, I used Tamiya’s clear green to solve that.
Overall a nice kit though it is definitely top heavy. Some removable adhesive, will help by sticking them to the feet. You have been forewarned 
. Without further ado, here is the GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia review.
I have added some photos of Playarts Actions Figure No. 0 featuring Cloud Strife and his bike Fenrir. The designs are based on the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children CGI film. Coincidentally, Fenrir happens to be a the name of a huge wolf from the Norse Mythology.
Personally, I’ve wanted the Fenrir since I watched the movie and it looks awesome. Click here to view the write up and photos of the cool Cloud and Fenrir set.
It seemed not so long long ago when I was searching around for this kit after getting hooked at just seeing the Tamiya’s Ferrari F2000 kit. Since money was a concern, I decide to get the latest version which was the F2001 and a Full View version at that. Why a transparent kit? As a noob, I do not want to risk any major “oooops” that would “spoil” this beautiful machine. Okaaay, perhaps another reason was, I don’t want to go thru the trouble to paint it.
According to the guy who sold the kit to me, the shop only brought in about 2 dozens and had it distributed to a few other branches. Basically, it’s the last one that is available at that shop, which is also the head office. (Hmm, Sales talk, I presume). Without further hesitation, I bought it! (August 2003, how long ago was that, eh?)

At last, I finally made it. After all the procrastinating, the false dawns, the countless i’ll-get-to-it-tomorrow!! I have completed these tasks :
1. taken some shots
2. uploaded the images
3. edited the images
4. uploaded to the site
Okay, to all Gundam fans and not so Gundam fans, the photos of the Master Grade 1/100 Zeta Gundam Ver. 2.0 can be viewed here.
By the way, I didn’t transform the Zeta as :
a. I was too chickened to try for fear of snapping or damaging the Zeta
b. I do not want to scratch the paintjob.
Well, I ‘ve finally, uploaded the page on the LEGO Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8. It seems like only a few months ago that both my younger brother and I spent time to assemble this LEGO set together.
We bought it from a departmental store which offered it for a 20% discount back in December 2007. Guess how long we took to assemble it? 3 weeks plus!! Okay, we only spent a couple of hours every other day in building the Formula 1 car replica. It’s really big!! (remember to have a storage place for such big display items, or else….).
PS. Just for the record, we are fans of the Scuderia Ferrari. Forza Ferrari!!
