Not had a chance to do much Gunpla recently with a trip to CES, and I've got a new desk in my office so my little photography area has gone. As soon as I find a new spot for it, I'll get it set up and see about getting pictures taken of Saber San and … Continue Reading ››
Toronto area was hit with a massive ice storm last weekend, knocking out our power for 24hrs (and some smaller power cuts too) and my internet. Normally blogging will be resumed once we have everything sorted.
