Travelling Gundam Diaries - ToyCon 2014 and Foodtrip with Travelling Hello Kitty!!

As always, here's another look at where Travelling Gundam is in the Metro!! Went to ToyCon 2014, and although he may not have taken much pics with toys, he did get lots of lovin from cosplayers!!

Another thing to note, was Warner Bros. Philippines was nice enough to bring the actual costumes worn by the actors of the hit film Rurouni Kenshin, at ToyCon!! Just in time to promote the upcoming sequel here in the Philippines. And Travelling Gundam wasted no time to get a pic with the costume. :D

A few days after ToyCon, we got a modem upgrade from our local internet provider; PLDT. It was a modem+WiFi router in one. Thankfully Travelling Gundam was there to help.

Internet speeds at home got abit more decent after installation and reception got stronger. Hopefully it won't give me anymore headaches just like in the past. Then my Travelling Gundam went on a foodie date with his companion; Travelling Hello Kitty!!

One of the best finds they got was that ChocNut chocolate drink which was on sale at Ho-Land in St. Francis Square!! You can read more about it on my significant other's post here: http://adventuresofaladyexplorer.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/spotted-choc-nut-milk-chocolate-drink/

Good thing they both packed CarbTrim, to help keep the carbs at bay, as they both enjoy their foodtrip together! :D

But before I leave, I'm happy to announce that Travelling Gundam is about to get an upgrade soon. From being an Advance Grade (AG), he's about to get more articulation now that he's gonna be upgraded to a High Grade (HG) kit soon. :D

Travelling Gundam Diaries - Travelling in the City!

A few days ago, one of the people in a Gundam FB group I'm a member of, asked me what had happened to my Travelling Gundam and if he is still travelling around so to speak. I realized that while it is true that I post my Travelling Gundam's adventures (and misadventures) via Instagram and Tumblr, not alot of people follow them. So I decided to make a compilation post of sorts of my Travelling Gundam's adventures.

Introducing, the Travelling Gundam Diaries! :D

And here's what my Travelling Gundam has been doing lately:

He watched "The Fault in our Stars" just recently.
Yes, Travelling Gundam is into chick flicks apparently... 

Here he is mixing a mug of hot chocolate. 

Trying out Hoagies' sandwiches. I think
he's trying to do some healthy living thing. 

Enjoying a wonderful sizzling burger steak at
a local food joint in the Philippines.

Enjoying the evening city lights.

After launching my little Travelling Gundam project, I'm very pleased to note that there has been some other people who did their own "Travelling" toy project as well. In the Gundam FB group I'm in, a user joined in the fun and introduced to us; the Zoomin Zeons. :D

And ofcourse, my significant other decided to join in the fun, but with a twist. Her's is the Travelling Hello Kitty. :D And here it is, along with my Travelling Gundam on a date:

Look forward to more adventures of my Travelling Gundam!! :D

Meet the Travelling Gundam!! :D

As a gundam fan, and gunpla builder, I've always admired and loved seeing Gundam kits in dioramas or settings that would recreate a particular scene in the anime. However, for the most part, gundams model kits are usually stored on display cabinets and are rarely played with. And as much as I do understand why most model kit builders do that (in fear of breaking the model), I also realize that for awhile most gundam fans eventually get tired of their model kits and sell em off to dispose of them or worse... throw them in the garbage bin. :(

After some thought, I recall of a particular story from the internet where a garden gnome goes off on an adventure of a lifetime, travelling from one place to another instead of being stuck inside a garden lawn.

So I thought, probably some modellers already did this. And upon searching the net, I came up empty handed. And so, I thought it might be fun to try making a gundam version of this, and so I took my most stable and favorite model kit around; the 1/144 Advance Grade Gundam AGE-1 Normal, and decided to go on a vacation with friends with him. To be safe, I reinforced my kit with some super glue on some parts that might fall apart and added some layer of topcoat to ensure the panel lining wouldn't wash out after I splashed it in the water.

And the result? The "Travelling Gundam" was born. :D

For our first trip together, we went to Water Camp in Cavite Philippines. It was a pretty nice swimming resort that served as the perfect starting point for my "Travelling Gundam" project. :D

It was a great way to get the project started. And with the help of my friends, who had with them an awesome waterproof camera, I got me some amazing underwater shots with my Travelling Gundam.

I definitely had fun with this project and I look forward to taking my Travelling Gundam to more adventures soon!! :D
