Started work on Bandai no-grade 1/100 Akatsuki!!! Pilot is of course Neo Lorrnoke (Mwu la Fraga)... Refuse to acknowledge the presence of Cagalli Yula Athha. It is a kewl kit, cuz of all the shine from the gold plating. You would think that the moment u clip off the parts you will see the uncoated plastic knob on the surface and the whole Gundam will be littered with them. But no! Bandai was so damn smart to attach the parts on the underside / hidden surfaces so that all exposed (uncovered) gold coating would not be tainted! Dunno wat I'm talking about right... Get the kit and start working on it!!!

Comes with Oowashi pack (dragoon system for space usage) and Shiranui Pack (almost like aile strike pack, for atmospheric usage). Way cool! Too bad it didn't come with effect parts for the dragoons... if not will be much better.

Dissertation presentation didn't exactly go well, but got some direction as to how to narrow the scope down. And it was such an eye-opener to see wat the other people did. Particularly Shunjuan's monsoon window technical studies. It was a jaw dropper. Only 2 words for her... JHEE PIAH!
