This is another kit I bought a while back and never got around to building. It was my intention to do the green armour similar to how I painted MG Geara Doga but with recent experimentation with oil paint effects, the path I'm taking is going to … Continue Reading ››

This blog post has been a long time coming! Life keeps me busy, but over Easter I was able to get more paint on this very interesting kit.

This is another build for my buddy who I did the Sazabi for.

My new innovation in model building is using plastic sushi trays to sort parts. It's working well.

Here are all the black and gunmetal pieces that I've … Continue Reading ››

Gallery December 27, 2015 GN 11 Comments

It's been a while since I've blogged a build, so let's go with MG Hyaku Shiki Ver.2.0. I like gold Gundam. Akatsuki was great fun, but it's quite a simple build because it's a no-grade.

There is a good set of water-slide decals with each of these kits.
