Bandai HGUC Nemo (Unicorn version)

Box Art is great.

I have been lazy for a long time and I think it is time to do more reviews or may be finish all the projects up as my store room is getting  crowded.

This kit was released in spring of 2012 and at that time the rising yen came to its top. We all had a hard time looking for bargain models these few years. When a new kit like this comes in, fans would expect another upgrade version could be on the way in 6-9 months. And yes, the original Nemo from Z Gundam was just released on January 2013. With such a short period of time, these two versions are nearly identical with just a different rifle and colour schemes.

This Nemo itself looks great in shape and it's also easy to assemble if you are familiar with Federation MSs.  The connecting part of the shield to the forearm looks very unrealistic and is too thick which make the shield a bit far away from the body.

Those new parts for its legs(calf and heel, the big thrusters and its interior frames) are so detail which leaves not much room for modifications. It may seem that the legs could move freely but the knee can only be bent at around 90 degrees.


I tried to test its maximum degree of movement with the photo on the left and you can see how the extra ball joint at the ankles gives it more flexibility.

Hardpoints on the hip side armor. A common feature shared with Gundam Mk. II.

The kit comes with the beam rifle of GM Custom(RGN-79N) from 0083 as seen in episode 4 of Gundam Unicorn.

I have some ideas on my mind. How about a bazooka from Gundam Mk. II? The original design says Nemo is a universal MS which could take any weapons systems from other suits.
I need some time to dig out extra parts from old models and see if they could fit in.

Smart.

The shield can be folded. A design which I nearly forgot. It is done by snapping the top part to 2 points on the lower part. I really don't like this and the shield needs some modification.


I think this Nemo would look good on the Base Jabber. So my plan is to finish it in 1 month's time and if possible place it on a Base Jabber(I will it buy soon).

Arms straightened.

2012年新聞自由改革

2012年5月3日，聯合國世界新聞自由日，中国、緬甸等國家被列作最沒自由的地方。那時候，纏繞中国的是陳光誠事件。及後無數問題，包括7月倫敦奧運一堆醜聞糗事，那一半年就幌過了。網上擾擾攘攘的，還是閉屏、刪帖、敏感詞、環球時報，和叫人心寒的網路實名制計劃。

到8月冷不防，緬甸忽然開放了新聞自由的空間，終止媒體審查法案出台。原因就是5月2日當選議員的昂山，她的反對派的勢力在新國會之下與政府的對奕。
與之相反，中国境內的媒體自由、網絡自由，因為種種原因審查得更厲害。而政府和傳媒卻發動前所未有，針對日本和菲律賓的海域爭議問題，讓事件自然發酵至9月中的超大型打砸燒示威及破壞活動。至年底中共十八大，中共領導人交替，中国人完全停留、倒退、蹉跎在某無形的大國夢當中。而人民對於中共牢牢掌控傳媒及網絡言論自由的反撲，彷彿又掉進深淵。

中国經常錯過改革的時機，為甚麼?

2013年1月，南方週末事件，網民走到街頭。
我不想大唱反調、滅其志氣，只能說，我看見某些操作又再出現了。

我一直認為在中国或香港，寫這一句是沒有意義的。但作為圖騰，多少還有鼓勵作用。
