I began with Valvrave I, but after looking carefully at the kit and stickers I decided to go with a full paint job. I know this will mean that I can't really use the logo stickers, but I reckon the end result will still look great. And … Continue Reading ››
I've decided to start on the Red Valvrave 1. Looking into the kit, I'm rather disappointed that the stickers for the logos are not on a clear background, which is going to make it tricky to do a nice painted build.

I do hope I got the right screws in the right places as I've not been able to find an English translation of the Japanese instructions … Continue Reading ››
