<crawling from under the rock>
Whoa, sure been a while, hasn't it?

I finally get to redo the whole of the gallery page to something I'm at least semi-happy with. That was before I realized that I've been working on a resolution not too many people used. As it was, I had to resize the whole thing so it at least viewable on 800x600. Thus, almost the entire weekend wasted.

Nagging aside, it's time to put together some of the pages of people's work I've been promising them ... <gasp!> some 6 months ago! Here's a guest entry from Ken Chan's full scratch Zakurelo. Oh, did I mention this features a super-awesome redesign by yours truly? ;) Up next: Full-scratch Dra-C!

Now, for me own stuff. This is the recently finished GM Sniper. No final photos yet, so the making of article will have to do for now. There's a couple of (not so) new works added to the progress page too.

What else? Hmm.. cleaned up some of the images/color for Byarlant and Hi-Nu page. They'll now look less washed out. Plus the link section got some much needed maintenance. I've added the banner/new link that I should have done many months ago (sorry, Kyoji!). Be sure to visit Kyoji's page. There's some really excellent stuff.

And if I forgot anybody, please feel free remind/threaten me. I'm sure there must be a few I left out....

Not quite sure how to call this. A semi original work, I suppose. Here's "Deggial".

08/11/01

Forgot to put this up a few days earlier. Been wanting to tweak it and all. But anyway, here's GP02A resurrected. A rework of the model I destroyed in an accident a couple of years ago when I photograped it for the gallery page. T_T

And new links to Mechanical Rage and Machine Mess.

And now, for something completely different. A scratchbuilt project for a change. A tribute to Mr. Takahiro Yamada, if you will.

A few URL updates include the 144th MS Team site (Check out Lewismaster's Palace Atene), Murasame's Crimson Mercenary, and Gouf's Kit Bash.

I'm actually watching a freindly game between Manchester United and Thialand international team right now as I'm uploading. While I'm no fan of either team, it's always fun to see such underdog put up a good fight (it's now 1-1 at half time).

07/27/01

The server went down for a couple of days. Now that it's just came back up, I can finally upload. Here's an awesome conversion of 1/100 Z-Plus by Kenny Yam from Hong Kong. If things continue at this rate, the guests will overtake the site pretty soon.

Been having some free times lately. But of course I'd rather spend it building stuff rather than sit in front of the computer. That, my friend, explains the lack of updates you might be wondering about. ;)

07/12/01

New title image! (duh!). Well, it's not exactly new but this one will do for now till I get to finish some new works later on.

Did a long overdued total revision of the FAQ. Got tired of defending my 1/144 scale obsession, so that is added in as well. ;-) At the same time, I have mirrored the FAQ for rec.arts.anime.models by L. M. Lloyd. Something I have put on a back burner, and subsequenttly forgot a long time ago. It's located here, in the articles section.

The links page got some additions. A couple of which are ones I frequented since way before CotM was even contemplated.

07/05/01

More guest entry from Metal Slime. You know it when someone who hasn't finish a kit in some 3 or so years start pumping 'em out, that's when pig starts to fly...

I had revamped the stock database page into something a bit less chaotic. I'll start adding some pictures on selected kits later on, so that it can also serves as a reference for some harder to find kits.

06/27/01

I've put together a couple of progress documets of yet another ones of the (ever piling up) on-going projects list. These are the Elmeth GK, and a candy toy Zaku, both of which are actually almost finish by now.

I've been having problems replying to some of the e-mails over the last few months. Even after multiple tries, some still keep bouncing. I'll try again in the next week or so, when I get home and using different mail server, in case the problem was from my side. Just so you know, I wasn't ignoring ya. :)

06/22/01

Here comes the 2nd ever guest gallery entry! This time from Mr. Metal Slime, with the Master Grade Titan's Gundam Mk.II. More's on the way.

06/20/01

At long last, Baund Doc III gallery is up. I think it is actually finished almost exactly one year ago. Also, I decided to rearrange items in the gallery in reverse chronological order I that finished them (as best as I can remember).

Super-Rare Gareki Happy Fun Go-Go! :D

Hmmm, not actually as embarrassing to say as I first thought. ;)

06/15/01

Okay, okay, I know that over the last few months the site has become such a pig to load up in full. And it's not my fault!! Dencity's server just gotten so deteriorated. Now, in attempt to go easy on the bandwidth, I revert the title image back to the Nightingel. What you can also try (in case it still not load) is clearing your browser cache, and trim your unneeded cookies, and oh, keep pushing that reload button!

-Realizing the error of his way, Mr. Metal Slime went back to redo the whole background info on the Gouf Custom into something more passable. Whereas the origianal only made up of pathetic 3 lines text. ;)

-I finally thrown together a more up to date version of the personal info page.

-Link galore. Updated address for Stephen's Sogni di Gundam, and new links of Paolo Zago's Gundam Weapons, NetModelers, and Dirk Stiller's Miniature Gallery. I'm sure there has to be more, had to search my backlog of things to add later.

And oh, real updates coming right up.

02/21/01

Did some minor maintenance update:
- Chopped up the GP01 page into segments. Hopefully it'd no longer choke most people's connection too much.
- Replaced images on the Zakurelo page with a clearer version.

02/17/01

Update the 'forgotten' section, which is, of course, the link page. I have editted most of the descriptions so that it stays somewhat current, plus a couple of new links.

01/28/01

I'm now back in NY for the school. Can't believe I didn't finish any kits the whole winter break! Anyway, it's still snowing like crazy here in Long Island, so I guess it's only appropriate to whip out the GM Cold Climate page, huh?

On a totally non model related note: went to see Symphony X last night. Suffice to say, they played "Church of the Machine" and it totally rules! I'm one satisfied metal head :D

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.
