Saber Lily & Saber San
Over xmas we had a power cut, so airbrush was not an option. But luckily I had these two kits that don't really need any painting.
They're cute, they're fun, and they're a little fiddly to put together. But they look great!

I've been getting very good feedback on the first batch of RX-78-2 photos, so I've refined my lighting setup further and tried some more dynamic poses...

After some thought, I've managed to do a temporary photography set-up and grabbed some nice shots of the newly complete RX-78-2. With this kit I used Alclad flat top coat after I added the water-slide decals. I'm very happy with how this top coat looks.

When building a Gundam kit, the heads are usually small enough that you don't get too much detail, and the parts are often fiddly. With this kit you get to concentrate on just the head, and to make it look great on display, you get enough of the surrounding pieces to really set it off!Continue Reading ››

HoiHoi-San is the tiny and unbelievably cute anime robot bug killer, and also a 1/1 scale model kit from Kotobukiya. It's not a kit where painting is a necessity because all the parts of the main model come correctly pre-coloured, and really the only parts you need to paint are the weapons. I decided … Continue Reading ››
Macross VF-1
After really enjoying watching the original Macross series with the children, I decided I wanted to build the VF-1, the star mech of the show. I remember building a VF-1 way-back-when the original model kits came out in the early 80s, but of course, they didn't transform. The new Bandai kits do transform, but at … Continue Reading ››
1/144 RG GP-01 Zephyranthes & Full Burnen
These two new RG kits are excellent. I completed them just before I started on Kastrysha but have only just got their photos taken.
They build pretty much like the rest of the RG kits I've done, with the major difference being the Core Fighter and thus the centre section … Continue Reading ››
1/100 Kastrysha, Review, hints and tips
Let's start off with a big shot of these three Unicorn mechs together!
Given the size of this kit, and stability with the binders, I decided to do a bit of experimentation on the stand for display. I've taken three standard 1/100 display bases together (see later … Continue Reading ››
