Hi, there. As I've noted before, moving overseas for a new job so, I'm posting all figures that I've collected for past 3.5 years. All figures are authentic and are in pristine condition being on display in Detolf or on the shelves. Had been dustin...

Hi there! For quite some time Aoi-chan was my fair companion. Regrettably, I have to move to another country for work and because of some screwed up customs and shipping regulations I cannot take her with me, as well as a most part of my collection....

Hi, guys! I'm moving oversees for work in a few month, so have to part with some of the stuff. Few years back I've got into building Gundams and resin kits, especially for that purpose I've assembled a paint booth right in my living room. Now have t...

A fully functional PC inside of an aquarium! Utterly wild idea that I picked last week and here is the outcome. Behold my new HTPC and home server.

Last weekend been to Baltimore for my second Otakon convention. Unlike last year booked my tickets online, thus sparing myself from two and a half hour queue under a blazing sun. Some of the cosplay pictures are to follow.

In my latest loot came two incredibly adorable figures of Azusa Nakano (Azunyan) from K-On!

Not exactly certain about Japanese side of EMS post service, but as practice showed on several occasions American side of EMS, serviced buy US Postal Service is quite slow. But not this time, oh no! AmiAmi shipped my long awaited pre-orders on Thursd...

Been around Chinatown in New York City few weeks ago and got this kit from a local store. First time buying a kit offline was concerned about getting a knock off, but it turned out to be quite legit kit at a reasonable price.

Detolf itself is certainly a fine piece of Swedish ingenuity. Just think about it, four pieces of tampered glass, few metal rods, chrome hinges and couple of boards made of a wooden scraps! All this for around $60, brilliant!

Slowly, but steadily my collection of figures and Gundams getting bigger and bigger.

Just got myself newly released Xbox 360.

For a past couple of months had been really tied up with whole lots of trouble, pleasant and not very. First, found a new job, yay! Now, I have to drive almost hour and a half north across NYC and it's suburbs. Have to get used to it, no other way ar...

Another acquisition from the sale on HLJ.

First update on Asuka garage kit.

Was scowing around the area day after major snow storm in New York. Snapped some pictures of puchi Kyokas and Kagamin~.

Was thinking of going out this afternoon, yeah right. Snowstorm covered New York City pretty good. Stayed at home and scrambled myself some takoyaki for lunch instead. I do fancy those wheat blobs so very much. Would you cook at home, or you'd rather...

Against all odds I successfully finished my first fully painted Gundam. RX-78/C.A. it is. Can`t say it turned out great, but you know the proverb: “Things don't work the first time”, and they certainly did not.

Having my airbrush kit and paint up and ready for over a week now, I started my first Gundam paint project. Chose a pretty simple RX-78/C.A. kit.

Recently, I’ve been introduced to a Gundam modeling. As it turned out to be, this hobby is addictive as hell! Shortly after fully assembling my first model, I ordered another three. Using those Christmas online sales in full.
