XXXG-01W Frame completed

This is the first MG that I have built in about 10 years. I am very impressed in how far the technology has come. The inner frame is great, it has amazing articulation, it is very poseable, and it is easy to build. I can't wait to finish it!

Exia revived

I must have gotten this HG Exia about 4 years ago. This was the first Gundam model I got after my long break from modeling. Since then I have learned various techniques to improve the look of my models.
On the picture above, I have discovered how to add GN particles (green shinny piece on chest) to my Gundam 00 models. This detail is what defines Gundam 00 models, and without it the model would not be complete.
Originally I had only used the black stickers that came with the model. What I have done to improve is, was to remove the clear piece, paint the black sticker with a "special" paint I found at Michael's [I don't know why anyone else has not picked up on this special paint yet]. The next step was to paint the clear piece with Tomiya clear green [common technique]. Both of these paints make the result above [but I'll keep that secret with me for now].

Vapiano NYC

                             

If you like great Italian cuisine look no further, Vapiano is your restaurant. No only is the food exquisite, but the prices are outrageously inexpensive! You can eat well under $20.00. What is the appeal of this international chain restaurant? The food is prepare right in front of your eyes [think Italian Benihana]. Everything taste better when you see it being cooked in front of you right?

The atmosphere is great too. All the locations look like a high class lounge: Tall ceilings, plenty of space, vibrant scene [specially at night].What is the second appeal of this restaurant? When you enter you will receive a card. Everything that you order gets "charge" to this card. At the end of the night you pay for the amount of your food. It is excellent when you have a big group and do not want to have a headache figuring out the bill. Everyone pays for their exact meals.



Go check it, you won't regret it!

Union Sq. skyline


This is the view from my friend Ricky's apartment. Woah what a building! I only wish I could live in such an apartment. Jason, Ricky, and I met for dinner and after a nice enjoyable time [and tasty meal], we went to the apartment for a few drinks. Red Bull vodka is always a good drink to pass the time with friends.

The naked cowboy rides again!
