Regen Duel Gundam R.I.P.

Alright! Here is the first of the things I had planned to post about.
It's nothing much, just a repair in progress(you didn't really think it died did you?).

so I was removing the leg from the waist a while ago, and ended up snapping the shaft of the ball joint as you can see below.


then, months later, I finally gathered the tools and materials I needed to do the repairs on it.
I got some precision hand drills at a local Daiso(apparently the largest dollar store franchise in Japan) and drilled 2.5mm holes into each end of the broken shaft. Then I sawed off a piece of Evergreen plastic rod of the same width at a random length(and ended up making big scratches into my beautiful cutting mat also from Daiso) that seemed about right.


Finally there was lots of Mr. Cement added in. Then I waited a day, and tried to assemble the ball and socket together again. It felt wonky, so I took it apart very carefully, which resulted in the shaft semi-snapping with the evergreen rod and all. It didn't fully dry and harden, and the cement had made its way into the core of the rod, causing it to almost break in a soggy kind of way. So then I decided I needed lots of Mr.Cement, and then left it to cure for a few days. I was pretty frustrated, and emo at that point so I didn't take any pictures.
In the end, it turned out well.
here's how it looks
the fuzzy white square at the top is the plastic rod squirting out when it was goopy and I pressed the two sides together. The white line is the glossiness of Mr. Cement. This is how it looks even when it's dry. also, the fuzzy looking stuff on the rear skirt(this is the backside, although not really a skirt) that looks like a terrible nub removal is actually the pretty white plastic being ruined by the cement because I have amazingly shakey hands - only when it matters most =P


no full shot of the gundam yet because there still some stuff that's broken or need touch ups.

Hope this post was somewhat informatice and meaningful in some way.
To be continued...

P.S. those precision hand drills are the greatest things ever invented. maybe I'll show those off some other time.

Updates about random stuff.

First off, I just fixed the charater count of my cbox. It was at 100 before and felt kind of short, so I went to check my settings and found that I could set it to 200. So now the max charater limit is about 5 lines, it should work better now.
Took me a while to figure out my cbox account name lol. I thought I had the password wrong so I reset it. Then I found out I was using the wrong username lmao. So now I don't know if i ever had the correct password before XD.

Second is that my airbrush came in. It's looking good =D. I'll post more on that later on. Still gathering bits and pieces so I can have a setup that I can work with. It's not just about the compressor and airbrush, there are a few things that go in between and around them. Those are the things I'm trying to figure out.

I thought I had a third thing, but i can't remember what it was, or if there really was one lol...

Looks like me blogging backlog is getting as tall as my gunpla...

P.S. got uncharted 2, beat the story, can't connect to multiplayer because of the famous "error synching models," and can't get my $35 worth of free DLC becuase of the stupid messed up expiry date...

Edit: Forgot, my cold is almost all gone...my excuses for not dealing with those pictures is running low..

I've Caught a Cold

Now I have an excuse to further delay my plans. Not in the mood to think up proper sentences =D

I am so gonna punch myself when I finally post it. It's so short and simple after all, it's just that I'm too lazy to deal with the pictures...

I Won A Prize!?!?

Apparently I won GG INFINITE's september lucky draw as seen here
http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2011/10/gg-infinite-september-lucky-draw.html

not here to brag about it.
I just wanted to share about how shocked i am.
I did not expect to win anything. In fact, I never expect to win any sort of draws, so usually I don't even participate. It was just that this one was simple enough so I thought "why not?" You may even remember, this blog was spawned from me joining these draws =D

So anyway, here's what happened
I was just doing my usual visit to GG's blog, scrolling through it, not expecting results to come out on this day due to GG sorting through cheaters making multiple entries. So there it was, out of nowhere the big title appeared. So I read through the post and saw the mystery prize and though it was pretty cool for GG to have planned to give away such an awsome prize that was not even released at the time of the contest. After that, I skimmed through the winners and and other prizes not really reading them. That's when my name suddenly caught my eye, then my heart launched like a javeling missile in top fire mode, after popping out of the tube, it rammed right into the ceiling and blew my house up. In other words, my heart just javelined. In plain english, it my heart jolted like I was thrown off a cliff, fell out of an observation deck, or maybe more along the lines of being in a roller coaster that suddenly derailed...
I didn't even see what the prize was, but the simple fact that my name was on the list was shocking beyong my imagination. I don't even know why it was that shocking to be honest, but it was lol.
Seems I got a GM III, but I'm still in denial XD
Be warned, good news can be harmful to your health too. =D

Not only should one always prepare for the worst, he should also prepare for the best - at all times.

For the record:
If you thought I had a magical foresight, and was still able to get surprised, you are overestimating me, and making me out to be a super weirdo. This is is not the stuff I said I had planned in my previous post lol.

Read Worthy Content Inbound

i just want to say that i have a few slightly more informative post ideas in my head. I can type them up anytime, but I'm just too lazy to upload pictures and stuff ATM.
I also have a massive anime backlog i must catch up to. it my HDD cannot take anymore lol.
so stay tuned for some read worthy content. something that isn't my usual idiodic rant about things that none cares about.
It will be coming in the next week or so, once I have unlazied myself. Just a word of warning, it's not some sort of massive revolutionary speech, so anybody who ends up reading this, don't need to get their hopes up...
come to think of it, this post might be longer than what i have planned... -_-
