My Gunpla Break Is At An End

So after my previous work on the HG Stark Jegan, Transformer Sideswipe Remaster, and HG 0 Gundam, which were all finish within weeks of each other, I was pretty burnt. So I took a month long break to focus on other areas in life. But now I am ready to get back into the gunpla fray.

But right off the bat, I got myself locked in a few other projects aside from gunplas. There are a couple of transformers that I need to repaint / fix for a couple of customers. And I also have a remaster job for a Robot Damashii (Side AS) Savage that I would need to finish as well. I am going to try to slip in my 1/48 Mega Size Gundam into things, will see how it goes. Then there are other ones that I want to work on like the HG 1.5 Gundam & MG Musha Mk-II..... argh, the story of a gunplar's life.

Wii - SD Gundam Gashapon Wars - Release Update

Fans of SD Gundams will be happy to know that Wii's SD Gundam Gashapon Wars will be released in just 2 more days on June 24th. The game is a updated port of GameCube's SD Gundam Gashapon Wars, which was originally released on Dec. 2005. The game lets players take control over 150 mobile suits for strategy-based combat (similiar to SRPG) over 40 battle firelds. The lineup of mobile suits spans from the Gundam 0079 all the way to Gundam Seed Destiny.

Game modes includes a single player campaign, a survival mode, a mission mode, a RPG Dungeon mode, and a 4 players battle mode. The game will also support classic controllers.

Without any news of other Gundam titles for this year. This game may quench your thirst until we hear more about the new Gundam game that is in development for the DS 3DS.
