SD/BB Sinanju Review - Part 2

"From the start to the end, I'm always on a climax!" ~ Momotaros
This is a continuation from the first part here.

Getting slower and slower with the blog updates lately even though I still sit by my computer. You can thank a busier real life I'm having right now. ^^; Enough with the semantics, it's time for the next part of the SD/BB Sinanju review~

Read on for the rest of the review~

White backdrop => Canon IXUS 105
Black backdrop* => Samsung Galaxy S II
*Noise is more noticeable with a black backdrop.

Char-Bird

Did the photo-shoot today though the space is more limited (due to the orientation of the location) as I'm using my "new" table (which was FOC since it was almost thrown away) plus it being located closer to the window. The SGSII is a bit more sensitive to light than my camera but considering that I haven't charge my camera in a while... whoops.

At any rate, expect the second part of the review soon-ish. The omake, if I have enough time, will be in another post. I already have an idea for it at any rate. Gonna have to watch a certain OVA closely for some good references. :3

Some Big Sketches

After my last presentation yesterday, I am now more free once again. Gonna cool down first before I hit the books again to prepare for my single final paper next Thursday. I guess I'm gonna finish the BB Sinanju review real soon?

Until the next post~

SD/BB Sinanju Review - Part 1

Price: 1000 Yen

Squeezing in a bit of time on my blog for now even though I have many other things to complete. I guess you can say I'm feeling stressed out by the monochromatic amounts of assignments in front of my face and in need of more contrast back to my usual round of doings that is. :P

This kit is one of the harder kits to build (nicely) for every version there is of it. The larger MG should be easier to detail the gold trims at any rate and is the most detailed one overall. For the kits being reviewed this time, I can admit this is one of the harder challenges of marker detailing I've come across. Of course, the part separation is better than SDs of old but I digress.

At any rate, read on~

MS Explanation

Full Frontal, as far as the OVA has shown, looks and acts like Char Aznable... who is he really? He also fights the same way as Char inclusive of the trademark 3 times the speed and kicking Gundams.

Camera Test - Samsung Galaxy S II VS Canon IXUS 105 VS Samsung Champ

This is just a quick comparison I did between my available cameras (not counting my family members' phones of course).
My current main camera, Canon IXUS 105, has a bit of overexposure while my new phone, Samsung Galaxy S II, has a bit of underexposure. Both of them doesn't seem to produce very accurate colors and exposure but the SGSII feels sharper overall.

So, what do you think?

My Current Lockscreen and Wallpaper

Right now this is my lockscreen and wallpaper respectively for the Samsung Galaxy S II. Photo is taken by the Samsung Champ BTW; which is now my backup phone.

I'm also trying a free limited watermark app that looks to be doing its job. Luckily I normally resize my photos to 800px wide before uploading (which is the app's free limit).

This is just a random filler post nonethesless. Better get back to my assignments.

Test from Android - Part 2

So, Samsung Galaxy S II anyone?

After all these months, I've finally obtained the phone. Luckily, I had much decisive support from my friends and support from my parents as well. I guess moving up into the world is an important thing after all.

I only got the phone a few hours ago but it feels like it is a long time friend of mine. I got used to it way too fast like now I'm going around posting stuff from it. Although I can update my blog from this awesome phone, it won't be usable for my larger postings. Hence, I believe I might do quick blog posts while going around in the future. :3

Test from Android - Part 1

I tried using the default browser and Opera Mini at first but Blogger did not render properly...

Hm, uploading photos on Blogger through the mobile feels quite wonky (and doesn't work right) so I guess WordPress wins in this case... Need to see if Blogger have a good app or not.

Until the next post~

Short Break

Due to a mid-term paper next week and assignments I have to really start doing (other than the ones I already started doing...), the review post (part 1) will be delayed until next week earliest (as I need time to type it out).

Note to self, winter semester is not a good idea to take (even though it was compulsory)! D:

PS: To all future Swinburners, try to avoid winter semester if you can or take one subject at most. You'll be grateful later.

Red Comet* is Complete!

The Red Comet is here... with clear stickers!

This is yet another "no sticker" (except the clear sticker/decals) that I've done. It could've been better if my Sangouden gold marker wasn't at the end of its useful life already. (Clearer shots in the actual review later.) Overall I'm pleased with myself, there is some improvement within but mada mada dane.

I also updated the review buttons to reflect the recent reviews I've posted up - now with better quality than before. Heh, 3 years and running. Now I have so many Gunpla (although most of it are from Gundam 00). ^^;

Okay, now I seriously need to do my assignments. Oh look, Dragon Nest SEA Close Beta... @_@
(I'm normally on channel 4 using a character named Lysagora.)

Yoink!
