IMPORTANT: I’ve Moved to Otaku-Surf.com

  

The New Otaku Surf Web Site.

     After much consideration I’ve decided to move the website to www.otaku-surf.com If you’ve got this site bookmarked please update. I figure now is the time to change it up just a bit since I’m starting to get into a bit of HD video/film projects related to Anime Conventions. 

A still of an HD movie I shot of a cosplayer doing a rehearsal performance of a Deathnote Skit at Anime Mid-Atlantic 2009.

    I’ve already put up two HD movies shot with my camera, but I don’t expect to lessen my interest or my gundam photography. I’ll still continue to do it, even moreso, since I’ve invested a bit more into the new website. Hope you guys like it and I’ll see you on the other side!

And without further ado, you can find the new site at:

GUNPLA: MG Sinanju & MG Unicorn Gundam

I figured when I left this blog over a year ago that I wouldn’t return. But alas my love for Gundam and Anime has returned. I plan to continue this blog on a regular basis.  At least an update every month.

I start off with the Mobile Suit that brought me back, the MG Sinanju.  I really didn’t expect Bandai to churn this one out. I figured the company would just direct all attention to Gundam Seed and its predecessors. But I’m glad they decided to produce the mecha.

Unicorn versus Sinanju. (Digitally rendered to include flare)

I also review the MG Unicorn which I had bought last year and played around with the idea of doing a post on it,  but never got to it.  My usual shooting studio, the Blue Ridge Mountains, is no longer available to me so I decided to play around with indoor settings, light and shadows and some digital manipulation.

Welcome and See You Later.

 Welcome to Otakusurf.com

This blog is about the anime, gunpla, and anime conventions that I came across during the summer of 2007.

Highlights include AMA and Otakon 2007 and my pics of Gundam figures and Model kits in and around the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

Originally, I had intended to continue the blog, but as some of my regular visitors may know I work in television and moved in October of 2007 to a great but demanding job outside of Washington D.C. 

This site is inspired by Danny Choo at Dannychoo.com.  For some other super websites on anime and Gundam check out the links on the sidebar under blogroll.

Thanks for stopping by. I hate to see it end, but what a great summer!
