2000 - History

01/16/2001

Surprise, surprise. You all thought I was dead, aren't you? ;) Here's the 0083's Zaku II I finished about 6 months ago. This is actually a remake of an old work. Looks like I have quite a few Zakus in the gallery now. Guess I'd better start a Zaku only page just like the GM before it clogged up the gallery page too much.

Kitbash has changed the URL now. Go check out the GM cold climate type. He's just beat me to putting that up! I'll be showing mine soon.

And it's just occurred to me that a lot of info in the self-plugged page are no longer current and all. Grrrr, more burden on the to-do list.

Ho ho ho. Hey there, long time no see.

Well, a whole lot have happened since last time. I have gone upgrading to a new spanking 1 GHz Athlon then subsequently to 1.1 GHz, and have proceeded to permanently thrash the hard drive once. Which also explain why some of you people's e-mails haven't been answered. As usual, if it was something important, do resend them.

This is kinda old news by now, but since I hadn't update for a long time. Here goes: My design is in Model friggin' Grapix!!! If you hadn't already, check out the November issue of Model Graphix 2000 on top of page 4.

The model is, of course, done by Ken Chan, whose other work also graced the guest gallery (which BTW, will have other people's works sometime soon)
-Divided up the Guncannon page, due to its size. Should load up better now.

I'll be doing some proper update in a week or so, when I get home for winter break. Till then Happy holidays.

Ver.Ka, anyone? Here.

Haro!
Anybody still listening?

-The Guncannon page is up now. If you still remember the progress page of it from a few months back. Yeah, it took me this long to finish the page. :) Enjoy.

-Added to the Z-Gustav page with one tiny photo of photoetch parts on the chest.

Now, for my AWOL in the last few weeks, as so many people been wondering whether I'm still alive. ;) Well, I've started going back to school now (and no, unfortunately, it's not a gunpla school ^^;) since the end of July. And this is going to be an intense program. Obviously I'll not be able to update the page as frequently as I'd like to, but I'll still be adding stuff when I have time. Though it's unlikely that I'll have much time to build, there's still quite a few things to put on yet..

-Updated the URL to Lefthander's page. Check it out, he has made a whole new look for it, plus some new works.

I'm done with the CG photo story for GP01 now. Well, At least that's as far as I care to tweak. And oh, the text on the pictures are only there for graphical purpose, it wasn't actually suppose to be read since it doesn't really make any sense. ;-) (that's why I deliberately use that hard to read typeface).

In (an unlikely) case you're wondering, those pseudo poetry is from The Duelist by Iron Maiden, whom BTW, just has a new kick ass album "Brave New World" out last month. Go buy it, and help bring metal back!!

07/15/00
Well, I've just thrown together the new HGUC's Rick Dias, and here's my quick thought on it along with the resin and the old kit.

I'm in the process of preparing to paint my Z-Gustav. Check out what's been done so far.

07/11/00
The GM's page just got a major facelift, along with an added 'temporary' Powered GM's page. The images are a rather crappy digital camera's. I'll probably replace them in the future, when I properly photograph it.

07/10/00
At long last, here's the GP01 page. I sure take my sweet time, ain't I? Just in time before Bandai scheduled release of the HGUC in the next few months. CGs to be followed later.

I have finished 1/220 Baund Doc III and Zaku F2 this week. Man, I'm building like there's no tomorrow...

07/02/00
I'm back! Miss me?

Nothing added yet. Been working on it, don't worry. I was too caught up in the Euro 2000 and Donkey Kong 64 to get stuff done. ^^; But since I've got so many threats bugging me to update, I guess I better say something let you know I'm still alive.

First, those who send me e-mail from now, please revert to my usual address.
I have also fixed some of the lnks. Plus a new URL for my friend, Espada page. Check out his new Led Mirage! Nifty stuff.

And lastly, will the many AOL people please stop asking me where to get the models? It's all there in the FAQ!(which BTW, is updated) I really don't have time or energy to answer back every single one of you.

The GM cold climate type is finished, at long last. Will be taking it to photo shoot shortly. But if the previous ones any indication, it'll be quite sometimes before it show up here. heh heh heh. I've been working on quite a few more projects lately. Some of which I put in the progress section. Hopefully I'll be adding some pictures once I get my digital cam back.

Out For Lunch....

I'll be taking a long "vacation" abroad from today, for about 5-6 weeks. Any e-mail to me from now should be directed at sazabi@netscape.net . I might tried to update during the time as I have quite a lot of materials lying around, but then I might be too lazy as usual, so no promise. ;-) But guess I'll leave you people some preview here.

BTW, the guest gallery is open to everyone to join. If you have a 'decent' (both kit and photograph) work, and want it to display there, let me know.

Gerbera Tera's progress page is up. This is pretty old now actually, and it's going to be a while before I get back to finishing it.

04/15/00
Ayyyyeeeee, sonny.
Say hello to the new reigning champion of the (local) Gundam plamo con! ^.^

Well, ok, so there's probably less people entering than they had prizes for in my category, but hey, I still had to beat someone to claim that top spot!

Therefore, I have finished the in-progress page of my costest entry, the ver.KRO (Katoki Rip Off) Guncanon. For the first time I bother to photograph the painting process.

The FAQ is revised with a couple of new questions.
Update my kit database, after a long hiatus, to reflect how impossible it it to fulfil my life-long mission of finished all those kits...

And finally, added link to Kinji Shibukawa's page.

03/30/00
Dencity says that they will do some maintenace on the 31st, which means the page will be down for up to 24 hours. Therefore, don't be alarm if you can't access tomorrow. It's not going anywhere.

03/22/00
Add a new in-progress page of my current torment, the HGUC Guncannon.

03/16/00
This week's new stuff: the Sentinel version of Core Booster. For people using small resolution: be aware that there's a 'next' button on the bottm right-most corner.

My first version of FAQ is up, in the article section. This is, of course nowhere near completion. I'll keep add more stuff to it as I can think of anything or got more repeated questions.

03/14/00
I've opened a new section; the Guest Gallery. Where I'll use it to display some great works by my friends. Starting with an awesome work of Ken Chan, the Zodiack from Gundam Sentinel!

The GM cold climate progress page is updated with a couple more pics. They aren't exactly new. These are actually from the same session as the last, it's just on a different roll of film that I had just developed.
