The title is from a great tune by the Vapors back in 1980. I got to see them live in NYC. Good times.
I've been a fan of Japanese Pop Culture for as long as I can remember.. I loved watching Ultraman and going to see Godzilla Movies at the theater as a kid. I've also always enjoyed Anime and Manga as well. The thing that really got me were Mecha cartoons. Which leads me to today's blog about a Gundam kit I bought a while back. It is a Zaku II model and I'm pretty much digging the way it turned out.
I picked up this bad boy on the Amazon for around $5. One thing I can tell you is if you ever buy one, follow the directions CAREFULLY. It will save you a lot of hardship. After battling this for hours, it finally came together. I like the pose. I gave it metallic black and pewter armor with flat gray contrasts. I made a scenic base for it as well. It turned out fairly decent.
Take a gander or two. Don't forget to vote (see previous blog). Sayonara.
