Anything about model building

Simpler look

My site is like 20+ years old, and over time I’ve been less and less keen to add fancy features to it since I couldn’t sustain visitors with lack of updates 🙂  The hosting service is constantly giving me fits about CPU usage and such, so I wonder if I can use a simpler theme… Continue reading Simpler look

Blast from the past!

Before there were the Nu Gundam MG Ver Ka. which was an excellent kit, there was the less than impressive vanilla MG Nu. I love the original design by Izubuchi which features bulkier build and more curved surfaces. The Ver ka was more detailed, but it isn’t the same impression of the Nu presented in… Continue reading Blast from the past!

VF-1S Strike Valkyrie Hikaru’s Final Shot : 1/72 Hasegawa

Wave 1/24 Rabidly Dog

My first Yahoo Japan auction came this rabidly dog from votoms.

In Votoms Chirico rode through the Quent desert… Continue reading Wave 1/24 Rabidly Dog

Adventures in casting

I’ve been inspired by the Meka Mania’s mod of the 1/24 scopedogs. In fact I was quite curious where his nice fists came from… and after getting the older Takara + resin release from Y!JP auction the puzzle was solved! They were the superior sculpts by Nomoto before they were replaced by the Wave junk… Continue reading Adventures in casting
