I have had to rearrange my schedule a bit and I decided to just make a short post.
I will still be doing Epyon ASAP (though there is a worry that by the time I have the cash I need that he will be sold out.) But being as I only have to wait for a few more days... I can hope.
I will be doing Death Scythe Hell in October, and 00 Raiser in November. In December I will do a group photo series And put out 2 models in January or 3 in February.
Can't wait to upload some pictures. ^_^

Year 1 Gundam Model schedule.
This fall I will be opening up my first model kits since I was a kid, and those first kits were... shall we say disastrous. I am very excited for these new kits, all of them will be 1/100th scale Master grade and I have a fairly awesome line up. (And have done a lot of studying of proper technique.)
In September I will be reviewing Master grade Epyon. I won't be doing much initial painting with this or any of my kits this first year really, but ultimately this kit, or a duplicate, will be apart of Project Blue. If you need me to tell you that its one of my favorite Gundams... try harder.
In October we will see the Deathscythe Hell Custom. If you are familiar with the suit... you know why I am going to be doing it in october. It's iconic and a fan favorite of the whole series, as well as one of mine.
In November I will be reviewing the Wing Ver. EW (not the Ver. Ka because I like the colors better in this kit and I hear it can both hold its Beam rifle properly, and I can put it in Bird mode.)
December: I will be giving myself the gift of variety and will take a look at the 00 Raiser, the only non Gundam Wing suit I have planned right now.
January: We will be getting Proto Wing Zero. I dont know if he is an official Ver. EW, but he is designed by the same designer. I am ecstatic about this guy.
February will wrap up our exploration of the Wing Ew versions, with the Wing Zero Custom. A gorgeous suit, even if you aren't into the imagery it invokes. And it is a very iconic mobile suit.
March will be Tallgeese (Im not shelling out the extra 50 for the Tallgeese 2, nor will I be shelling out a Benjamin to get it separately) But now I will have someone for the Wing to pair with. I will be doing some painting on this kit. Namely on the boosters.
April will see Heavy Arms Ver. EW, which will also see some painting. This guy is going to be a treat.
May will bring Shenlong Ver. EW I cant decide if I am excited for this suit or not, but it is cool.
June will be Sandrock ver. EW. Possibly my favorite of the 5 Ver EW redesigns.
July I will be finishing up the Ver. EW classic suits with the Deathscythe* Ver. EW
So it is the year of Wing Gundam in terms of kits. If we do get some new Wing Gundam kits between now and July then I will be adding them to the schedule, with the exception of the Sandrock custom, which I am just not that interested in with its more armed counterpart out (and in the June review series you will see me say over and over again, "This suit makes the Custom model obsolete."). I do hope we get something (dare I hope for a Serpent, or the Vayeate, Mercurius, or any other OZ mobile suit) else to add, but time will tell.
This will likely be my only theme year, and after it I plan to review kits like a normal reviewer. There will be kits I skip, and I may decide I want to do another theme for a little while, but I plan to have one review up every month with pictures (I have a fairly nice camera.)
If we do get more Wing mobile suits I will be kicking Deathscythe down the list. It's not because I don't like the suit or anything, (I do) it's just that He is basically the Deathscythe Hell Custom anyways. Unlike the Sandrock Custom, I feel that this guy is different enough to warrant picking him up still, but Im not nearly as interested in him as I am in the Heavyarms Custom, and the Altron Custom.

Origin post
First posts are always kind of shitty. So if you are here.. this is the end.... there is no further back you can go.
The intent of this blog, was to document Gundam (and general mecha) and my own experience with building model kits.
