Hi Everyone! It is absolutely clear (even to me now 
) that I simply do not have enough time to regularly add new reviews to mechaCENTRAL.com, but I would really like to see this site growing in the number of posts and their quality – and that is why I have decided to ask my readers for help.
In short – I would like to invite your reviews for publishing on mechaCENTRAL.com in exchange for a High Grade kit – something to write a new post about ! (more…)
By the time you read this post, the year 2009 will be truly here and it looks like it is going to be a difficult one…
I wish my readers all the best in the coming 12 months, I wish them stable and peaceful times ahead – which will give us more time (and money ) for our hobby. I strongly believe that having a hobby helps people to live through difficult times by creating a safe “zone” within one’s mind, letting problems and worries fade away, if only for a little while. And we have a very interesting hobby, believe me
Happy New Year, Everyone!
Hi All!
Thank you for coming.
Before I start publishing some useful posts allow me to introduce myself and basically define the direction this resource is going to be developed in the future.
My name is Andrew. I live in Sydney, Australia. Genuinely interested in plastic modeling, particularly of Gundams and other mecha (hence the name of this site). When I was just starting with them I found myself a bit confused – there are so many Gundams, Zakus, Doms etc. (I happen to come across them BEFORE I saw the anime series… I know, I know shame on me…)
What I was really missing back then is a good resource on these very different model kits. Sure, the pictures on the boxes are great, but nothing beats a couple of close-up photos of a completed model with some (optional, but nevertheless helpful) advise on what to look for while making that particular model.
So I set out to do just that – share my impression of a particular kit with you, warn you about some difficulties (if there is going to be any), let you know beforehand how much sanding 
and painting is required for making the kit to look good or even great – some kits are quite impressive right out of the box (given you were accurate during the assembly process) while others will take a lot of your time just to put them together.
Anyway, I hope this blog of mine will become a part of your great hobby, which GUNPLA certainly is!
