Hobby Japan 2006/03

Here are some of the highlights from the March 2006 Issue of Hobby Japan. This wasn’t a really good issue for me. What like about Hobby Japan is the really nice UC MSV’s. Though they featured a Barzam variant, It was just horrible.

Master Grade Zeta Gundam V.2 1/100 Scale Kit

Basically just another basic MG Zeta V2. Nothing special, It was the finished product of the How-To guide but I didn’t scan it. If there’s a request . . . If there are even readers of this blog . . . I wouldn’t mind scanning them. . .

Master Grade Nemo 1/100 Scale Kit

Recently released this February, The MG Nemo from the Zeta Gundam series features the improved posability featured in the MG Gundam MkII V2.

High Grade Univesal Century Methuss 1/144 Scale Kit

Upcoming release this March, Another suit from the Zeta series which is the HGUC Methuss. A lot of people seems to disagree with the design since the Methuss looks too menacing. Though I personally am liking the design.

HGUC Dom Tri-Stars Set 1/144 Scale Kit

Released last January, HGUC Dom was released in two versions- the regular HGUC Dom/Rick-Dom and the HGUC Dom Tri-Stars set featuring the Black Tri-Stars from the Gundam 0079 Series which comes with 3 Doms and a special display stand.

Zeonography Z’gok and Zock Action Figure

Based on the re-designs of Gundam Celebrity Hajime Katoki, The upcoming Zeonography Based on Non-Gundam Mobile suits or rather Zeon Mobile suits will be releasing the Z’gok which can also be made as the Zock. Comes in 2 colors Red(Char Custom) and Blue(Mass Production). Each Version comes with a unique extra MS which I have no clue what it’s called. =P

Eureka Seven Model Kits

There’s a lot of Eureka Seven love in this HJ Issue which is my current favorite anime and mecha show. Featuring the recently released Nirvash Type Zero and Terminus 606 Model Kits. Also included is a scratch-built “The End” Model.

If anyone is able to read this blog please do share it with your other friends =) It’d be nice to have some hits. =P

I am just very new to the Plamo scene about 6 months or so but I’m currently subscribed to both Dengeki Hobby and Hobby Japan and believe me, It has completely fueled my desire to delve deeper into this hobby.

For those who don’t know what “Plamo” is, Plamo is the Japanese term for Plastic Modeling mainly consist of Gundam, Mecha, Sci-fi, Military, and automobile modeling.

Both Dengeki Hobby and Hobby Japan feature exquisite models made of course by professional modelers. I will scan and share images that I would like to feature monthly from these magazines starting here with Dengeki Hobby.

Dengeki Hobby March 2006

Nu Gundam 1/144 Scale Kit

Not really that rare of a kit but for really old kit, the modeler has gone great lenghts to highly detail the kit to if not better than Master Grade quality. As you can see, The Nu Gundam is fairly larger than regular Gundams so this isn’t such a regular 1/144 but bit larger.

HGUC Dom and Rick-Dom 1/144 Scale Kit

Recently released this Febuary 2006 the New HGUC Dom which can also be built as Rick-Dom.

Eureka Seven Terminus 606 model kit

A nicely built Terminus 606 from my current favorite anime Eureka Seven. I really like this improved color scheme and I would probably try to do my kit this way . . . If I ever get to it. =P

Shana from Shakugan no Shana customized Pinky St. Figure

Aside from collecting Gundam and PVC Figures I do enjoy collecting the Pinky St Figures but mostly ones that are tied to anime or video game characters. I wish I could have this one. *drools*

Millenium Falcon model from Fine Molds

This has to be the most detailed Falcon I’ve seen given that I’ve only seen that crappy one sold at US hobby stores. This Fine Molds version is highly detailed out of the box plus this sucker is HUUUUUGE!

Voltes V Soul of Chogokin

I guess this not much of a highlight for people living outside of the Philippines but this baby is a treasure for every Filipino kid that ever wanted the Voltes V toy. I remember that really wanted this bad when I was a kid and my Mom never ever bought me one though given the fact that the toy came out during the 80′s and was pretty rare and stupidly expensive even during the early 90′s. I will definitely grab this new version and relive those nostalgic childhood days. LET’S VOLT-IN!!! *insert Voltes V Volt-In Song*

It’s kinda late when I posted this and I haven’t scanned Hobby Japan 2006/03. I’ll try to post them tomorrow.

Hello! and First Post.

Hello! I’m Nat Blogging from the Bay Area, Califonia. I’ve only recently migrated to the United States from the Philippines and have only been here for almost five years. I work as a Certified Pharmacy Technician at a local hospital but still at college trying to grab a degree to God knows what. My passion in life is Anime, Technology, Mostly Japanese Technology, and most recently Gunpla or Gundam Plastic Models.

I made this blog mainly not brag about myself, well maybe a little, but share my passions. I’ll try bring the latest new, reviews, and previews on all my hobbies mostly collected from other blogs with my own insight and whatever exclusives I can gather.

I hope that you will enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy posting in it.
