Wave 1/72 Macross Destroid Tomahawk

Third of the destroids… I suppose the Destroid Spartan doesn’t share enough of the lower torso with the others so Wave isn’t going to open a new mold for it, alas. Nevertheless of the destroids I like the Tomahawk the most. I suppose it serves as the artillery so it has both a couple of… Continue reading Wave 1/72 Macross Destroid Tomahawk

Buying models from Hong Kong

I write this more for my own benefits since I often don’t remember 🙂 Continental Model & Toys (Yau Ma Tei): An incredible place for armor modelers, it has kits piled up in walls that you can’t get through 🙂 This established shop (and its online presence Sincere Hobby) has amongst my visits the best… Continue reading Buying models from Hong Kong

1/35 Tamiya Sd.Kfz.184 Schwerer Jagdpanzer “Elefant” with ATAK Zimmerit

I started this kit way before the Panther A. Tamiya kits are famous for their engineering and the Elefant is not an exception. As a tank destroyer I like the heavy-look of the design and the lack of a turrent seem to simplify construction which I thought could be a good beginner armor kit to… Continue reading 1/35 Tamiya Sd.Kfz.184 Schwerer Jagdpanzer “Elefant” with ATAK Zimmerit

Wave 1/72 Macross Destroid Defender

The slightly awkward AA gun mecha Destroid Defender! Just like the Missle Phanlax, the Defender is in Wave’s overpriced line up of Destroids. Being the first of the batch however, the price wasn’t too bad, but had more seamlines in the AA guns. The kit provides two type of ammo catridges on the shoulders. I’m… Continue reading Wave 1/72 Macross Destroid Defender

Wave 1/72 Macross Destroid Missle Phanlax

Who doesn’t love the Destroids. One of the standout “grunts” of Macross, I find the destroids a very practical design for a scifi show and the concept is still applicable today. This Wave’s 1/72 rendition is a huge upgrade from the ancient Arii kits, with better proportion, details and articulation. The only downside is the… Continue reading Wave 1/72 Macross Destroid Missle Phanlax

1/24 Volkswagen Type 2 Delivery Van “Egg Girls Summer Paint 2016″

I kept thinking I had this kit taken care of but didn’t. Anyway this is the prior version of the “Egg Girls Summer Paint 2017″. Oh boy, what’d happen if they make a 2019 version? Nothing interesting to say about the building process as this is the identical kit as the 2017 version. Only decals are… Continue reading 1/24 Volkswagen Type 2 Delivery Van “Egg Girls Summer Paint 2016″

Black or white? Panther A from Meng again

It seems in the armor modeling world people uses white background for photos. So I re-shot the Panther A’s with white and see if it looks more like something that is more commonly accepted 🙂 I guess one issue is the tanks are often dark colored, so it’s a little hard to make it pop.

Unchou Kan-u 關羽雲長 1/6 by Yuki shiro

Finally, a Yukishiro kit that I actually own 🙂 This is probably one of the last of his awesome works before he became a PVC producer. I have had this kit for a long time but didn’t know what to do with it since it’s so awesome, but with time grew more knowledge and I… Continue reading Unchou Kan-u 關羽雲長 1/6 by Yuki shiro

Hasegawa 1/48 AH-64A Apache

Apache has been called ugly but I like it a lot. It has that pretty aggressive look and my gaming has brought me to appreciate its firepower. It’s my type of machine 🙂 This was a new kit when I bought it but is now pretty old. Still it sets the standard for this bird… Continue reading Hasegawa 1/48 AH-64A Apache

Flakpanzer Gepard A2 1:35 from Meng

Of all the tanks the Gepard has a special place in my heart. The twin cannons and the dome range finder plus the radar all gives it that advanced look, particularly in the 80s. This is probably the tank that got me back into armor! I have built the Tamiya Gepard twice before I think,… Continue reading Flakpanzer Gepard A2 1:35 from Meng
