About me

Me? I’m just your average adult who’s still playing with plastic robots. Currently in Gunpla-land a.k.a Japan (yay!), but stuck in a tiny city where Gunpla shops are hard to come by :(

My Gunpla philosophy: ‘Why paint it if it’s gonna look exactly like it is on the box?’

which basically means that most of my painted kits will have a different color scheme compared to the original. Otherwise, if I liked the original colors, I’ll just leave it unpainted (with appropriate touch-ups, of course). Simple.

Why am I still playing with plastic robots? Part of the fun is in the building and the ability to customize your models with different color schemes and various decals. I started out this hobby with nail-clippers, a penknife and a marker for painting panel lines but I still haven’t ventured into the realm of airbrushing or building dioramas. You can say I’m just a casual modeller.

So take your time to browse through my little gunpla collection. Feel free to drop in your comments & criticisms at this site or my email (asukmanas@yahoo.com). Cheers!
