I wonder if it’s just not as hot as I thought it’d be, but the 1/100 Nightingale is on HLJ’s hot sale list: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN992082/Gun I’m building it right now and it’s really a nice kit… not to mention massive.

IMS #7: Terror Mirage from Volks
I haven’t bought any hobby magazines for years and suddenly gotten the urge after blogging about my Black Knight. Well what do you know, people don’t put interesting ads in them anymore! I was in particular hoping to learn what Volk’s next Five Star IMS kit is, but could only find that online, that it’s… Continue reading IMS #7: Terror Mirage from Volks
Liger Zero Panzer – Zoids – 1/72 HMM Kotobukiya model kit
There is only one reason I like this kit: the missiles! I’m a missile freak and the more the better. Having just finished the MG Black Unicorn Norn, I finally found my motivation to finish up this painful kit by continuing with the “lion” motif. The abundance of missiles also meant the blow up in… Continue reading Liger Zero Panzer – Zoids – 1/72 HMM Kotobukiya model kit
RX-0(N) Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn – 1/100 Master Grade MG – Black
[alpine-phototile-for-picasa-and-google-plus src=”private_user_album” uid=”ctkwok” ualb=”6072162810964365217″ imgl=”fancybox” style=”bookshelf” row=”6″ size=”320″ num=”40″ shadow=”1″ align=”center” max=”100″] How many Unicorns can you build? I still can’t believe I’m conned by Bandai to this extent, alas. May be I should just do the normal Black Unicorn with the giant claw and complete the collection, haha. The Banshee Norn is one of… Continue reading RX-0(N) Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn – 1/100 Master Grade MG – Black
Vatshu the Black Knight – FSS – 1/100 Volks IMS kit
I had my doubts after Volk’s KOG debut in the injection kit arena, but with the advent of 3D designs they have gotten it right with the IMS line of kits. To be honest I haven’t followed the scene for a long time (stopped buying hobby magazines ages ago) so I didn’t know what these… Continue reading Vatshu the Black Knight – FSS – 1/100 Volks IMS kit
Wave 1/100 FSS Led Mirage Prince Sarion with Flame Launcher
Now that I have a somewhat different approach to modeling and photography, I’ve been looking to redo/reshoot some of my old kit that is still around. This Wave 1/100 kit was at one point my pride and joy… mostly because it was such a hassle to build because of poor fit and my lack of… Continue reading Wave 1/100 FSS Led Mirage Prince Sarion with Flame Launcher
Proxxon pen sander PS13
I know I don’t do enough tools and techniques on my site, but I cannot say enough good things about this guy. I have used it for a few months now and I regretted not investing in something like this for the past 15 years that I’ve been building!! What a mistake! This guy is… Continue reading Proxxon pen sander PS13
Sherry – Langrisser 2 – 1/6 resin figure
[alpine-phototile-for-picasa-and-google-plus src=”private_user_album” uid=”ctkwok” ualb=”6047825811241404673″ authkey=”COHnoKWwvPX-Pw” imgl=”fancybox” style=”bookshelf” row=”6″ size=”320″ num=”40″ shadow=”1″ align=”center” max=”100″] This is one of the earliest garage kit I bought. Back then the casting technique was not that great and the pieces don’t fit as well. The 90’s anime characters have these gigantic eyes that are scary. The kit came from one of… Continue reading Sherry – Langrisser 2 – 1/6 resin figure
Armored Girl (Kacchu Musume) from Cerberus Project 1/6 Resin Figure
I built a modified version of this kit back in 2006 (!!!) Boy am I getting old. The original kit was excellent as well so I built yet another one. Once again the dark iron Mr. Metal color is the highlight of the kit, making a cool rendition of this fantastic design by Tsukasa Bullet.… Continue reading Armored Girl (Kacchu Musume) from Cerberus Project 1/6 Resin Figure
1/7 Ghostbuster Lucy – Shunya Yamashita version
I can’t remember last I’ve done any figures?! There is a certain appeal about Yamashita’s many renditions of the classic and new heroines. Even though I wasn’t a big fan of the Ghostbusters franchise I still like how the various bits are assembled in this piece.
