I just got a new GK the other day from cwmodels on HobbyFanatics that I can’t wait to get started on. It’s Ritsuko Kubel Kettenkraftrad from the small OVA called Kujibiki Unbalance. Kujibiki was featured as a popular anime show within the very funny anime Genshiken.

If you have not seen Genshiken, stop what you are doing and go see it now.

In Genshiken you only get to see small clips from Kujibiki but on the DVD’s the creators included 3 full Kujibiki episodes to watch.

The model I received is a recast of the original from a great guy at hobbyfanatics.com. The quality is very good. There are some seam lines as you may expect but nothing too bad. I didn’t notice any pin holes, the surface looked nice and smooth.

I’ve been involved with model making for many years on and off but have not spent much time on figures and I am very new to resin. I can’t wait to get started on this kit, but wait I must.

I am going to be moving to a new apartment in the next month or two so I am working on packing up my stuff and not getting involved with any projects at this time. I’ve decided to put all of my work on hold till I can setup my hobby table at the new place. Till then I’ll be spending most of my free time with World of Warcraft I’m sure.

Hello,

Well, this is the first posting of my blog. I used WordPress software as I’m somewhat familiar with it and it works so nice. If you are thinking of starting a blog of your own I suggest checking it out. Hey, it’s free, so you can’t go wrong.

I plan on using this blog as a substitute website to cover my various hobbies, offer wallpaper, share pictures, and just give information that I find interesting. Mostly time will be given to my many hobbies.

I tend to jump around between what I am interested in, anything from building Garage Kits (scale resin figures) of anime characters, painting, 3D computer modeling, watching anime, bittorent information, video games, music, guitar, manga. and so on.

I am also interested in writing and recording music. I have played guitar for a little over 20 years now and I have written a number of songs but never put much time into it as it used to be so expensive to do a good home recording. Over the last few years it’s become so affordable to make multi-track digital recordings at home that I’m thinking of getting back into recording again.

(Too many hobbies!!!)
