That alliteration is totally intentional. I got stuck with this double build of the HGUC Gundam F91 for the whole month of February, even crossing towards March.

Reviews would still be present, definitely, but they’ll be more of featured articles.
I’m targeting further expansion of my visual story telling through more photos across the site. Whether it’s an old section like The CATALOGUE, the relaunched One Shots galleries, or even quick blog posts. That also includes the new photo-oriented and responsive site layout.
