  1. Anyone thinking of getting the "The Fool(Nobunaga)" kit. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN989579/Sci
  2. Not much Gunpla or Macross coming out that sez "Buy Me", the upcoming Patlabor and Votoms kits though ... Drooool. When can I pre-order?
  3. The bike in the video is under scaled. Also would be better if the chassis was based on the Bimota Tes with front and rear swingarm instead of front forks. http://kaz32.com/guestgallery/peter/jpeg/Bimota01.jpg Old Quasar Bike. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/7quasars.jpg/280px-7quasars.jpg
  4. And something really Viennese, not as bad as an old friendstv-series which had to be translated for German speakers. The real Viennese dialect is dying now unfortunately and few people speak it now. Said that Austrian/Viennese German like the Swiss one is still distinct. Kurt Sowinetz - Alle Menschen san ma zwider (1972): http://youtu.be/oDjbbkGVT4Q
  5. In comparison another musician from my hometown may he RIP, but his Amadeus, Der Kommissar, Vienna calling, etc songs are well known? Falco - Jeanny: Another Video shot back home. Ultravox Vienna extended final mix: Same town was also used for Bond films, Firefox and even one Otoko wa tsurai yo movie. Never mind the 3rd man and many more as was the closest Castle/Burg.
  6. Sorry, really happy that Conchita won the ESC, 1st win for us since 1966. I know that the performer is controversial as seen per the online comments, my own country has a strict catholic majority. Putting that aside still a great voice and song? Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Phoenix (Austria) 20…:
  7. gwfalcon. Thx, bit disappointed with current output to be honest. More in variety next month. Worn out, spend most of today outside the hospital, as I had a workgroup to attend at my local city-hall. Been selected as one of 100 local people to work on how to improve my city, so lots of brainstorming and taking in various viewpoints. Of course all in Japanese, next week Sunday is the 2nd session. Only westerner there. We get paid 4000yen(bout 40$ per session) which will continue in autumn and for 5 yrs. Fun but tiring, will also be out on the 25th as I go it 2 Buddhist meetings to attend. Luckily hospital lets us out for those and similar appointments. Tomorrow back to working on my 2nd 1/72 Dougram kit and another 1/72 Mecha.
  8. Yeah, Conchita Wurst won the Eurovision Song Contest. Wonder if there will be a Bond film titled "Rise like a Phoenix" that will use it as the theme.
  9. Nice Video. Personally don't think that Akira was all that great a manga or anime, still prefer Spriggan myself.
  10. Building models is not that difficult. Yeah, I will build the 1/8 Scopedogs once I got a bigger place.
  11. Bandai blurs the line between kits and toys, many makers follow that philosophy now. I was looking forward to the 1/100 Ranka andSheryl kits but am seriously disappointed when compared to my IdolMaster kits. The 1/100 kits have little detail and what exists is all molded in, not even landing gear and all the markings are stickers (hate those). Most likely will ditch them when I return. The IdolMaster kits in comparison are FULL 1/72 Scale Models with a ton of waterslide decals in addition to being about half the price of the Bandai offering. I get about 6-8 times the modeling fun out of those. Even my son no longer builds Bandai kits as he got bored with them, we only buy RG and old plastic models from them.
  12. Saturday & Sunday are no rehab classed so no access to my kits = boring. But some friendly ladies/patients to help pass the time, instead of rehab I can go for walks on the hospital grounds. And read MW.
  13. Today something a bit different, I would like to share my favourite Radio Station. Got the app on my Nexus. http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk I like that you can select by decade(80's is my fav) also little talk and no repeats on the same day.
  14. I wish Platz would reissue the 1/72 resin kits, missing 2 designs.
  15. Posting from Hospital, was allowed to bring 4 kits with to build in rehab classes. Love this Hospital, all private rooms(44) nice communal area with private garden situated in the mountains west of Tokyo. In for observation as my depression meds is being changed. Got permission to bring my Nexus 7 but limited use for specific hours.
  16. Will be offline 2-3 weeks due to a hospital stay as of tomorrow.
  17. Placed my order for this. http://www.hobby-wave.com/LINE_UP/kit/votoms/data/28_bdt/index.html Rally sad that MO-Craft no longer makes 1/48 Resin kits as they had nearly all the designs including dogcarrier and powersled.
  18. Ennio Morricone The Ecstasy of Gold.: http://youtu.be/1-rHdSWZLpQ Midge Ure - If I Was (1985): http://youtu.be/xp20I5dgrRs
  19. Where is the fun in that and you pay about 4-times as much and than everyone whines about loose joints, bad paint-jobs, etc. J/K, to each their own.
  20. Wave is still in issuing 1/24 resin kits via their online store, next is Berserga DT. Happy to get both of their 1/35 Rapidly Dogs, hope we will see more styrene kits from them. Votoms kits come in waves usually tied to OVA or games, Berkhoff Squad, etc.
  21. Yikes, I just paid 5.000 yen for the 1/20 kit. Still got the resin Volks 1/8 Scopedog + Round mover conversion boxed up, paid 70.000yen for both.
  22. Lousy weather, so assembling a few planes(Idol Master) and an 1/48 X-Wing. Too many errants this week and next to get any painting done.
  23. That is the Pro-spec model with down form and Chirico figure. The standard model isvalready available and doesn't have those. overall a nice model but I replaced some parts with my own.
