Coreworks was one of the earlier Korean resin conversion garage kit makers. This was back in 2000s where the trend was to stylize and beefing up Gundam designs, and I loved Coreworks. This 1/100 Sazabi conversion was applicable to the old MG Sazabi, which had poor proportions. To be honest I considered this an abandoned… Continue reading MG Sazabi 1/100 – Coreworks conversion

1/7 Emma Frost – Bishoujo style
This is yet another Bishoujo rendering of an X-Men Emma Frost by Yamashita. I modified her to have the comic version long boots rather than the original pants. She is a deceptively simple kit to photograph, as her long hair cast substantial shadows onto her face, so some care was required to properly balance the… Continue reading 1/7 Emma Frost – Bishoujo style
MG 1/100 Ex-S Gundam with conversion set
Ex-S is the enhanced version of the S-Gundam, from the Gundam Sentinel story. I’m going to TL;DR and refer to the Gundam wikia for the details of the story and Ex-S. The original MG Ex-S was a bold move by Bandai, but the execution left something to be desired, especially when they released it in… Continue reading MG 1/100 Ex-S Gundam with conversion set
Panther ausf. A. 1/35 Meng
The first of a few armor models that I’ve been doing. Honestly I was more of a modern armor fan than WW2 German, and I had trouble understanding the appeal of it. But as I grew to understand a bit more about the space it seems to have a few things going for it: first,… Continue reading Panther ausf. A. 1/35 Meng
Ace Combat 1/72 F2A Kei Nagase
From the game Ace Combat 7 Hasegawa offers this limited edition F2A, which I believe to be a Mitsubishi custom of the F16, with a special skin illustrated wit the pilot Kei Nagase in swimsuit. The worst part of the kit is the lack of a pilot figure – if you offer a stand, it… Continue reading Ace Combat 1/72 F2A Kei Nagase
1/24 Volkswagen Type 2 Delivery Van “Egg Girls Summer Paint 2017”
What a fantastic idea for reusing old molds! Hasegawa made up a series with 3 cute girlfriends and released kits of them using old molds. This one is the fifth of the VW vans, the first I missed out on, the 2015 summer version, 2016 winter and 2016 summer. The decal designs has improved, the 2015… Continue reading 1/24 Volkswagen Type 2 Delivery Van “Egg Girls Summer Paint 2017”
VF-31J Siegfried Hayate Custom Deculture version – Macross Delta – 1/72 Bandai model kit
Having missed out on the VF-25 Macross Frontier’s deculture kits, I bought the Deculture Siegfried immediately. I’m a big fan of fancy aircraft art 🙂 This particular variant of VF-31J is the final version, after Hayate customized Messer’s aircraft to be his own. But with all the Freyja hearts you probably can’t tell 🙂 I… Continue reading VF-31J Siegfried Hayate Custom Deculture version – Macross Delta – 1/72 Bandai model kit
VF-31F Siegfried Messer Custom – Macross Delta – Bandai 1/72 model kit
Second of the 4 VF-31 I’ve built so far, I got Messer’s ride for its grim reaper goodness and the extra Walkure decals from the promo campaign. Turns out these decals weren’t in short demand so now I have 3 sets :-/ Macross Delta has its critics and Messer is a cool character that just… Continue reading VF-31F Siegfried Messer Custom – Macross Delta – Bandai 1/72 model kit
Wang Bailong – Blade Arcus from Shining – 1/7 figure model kit
Wang Bailong (王白龍) is a heroine in the game Blade Arcus from Shining, which appears to be a 2D fighting game set in the Shining universe from the illustrator Tony. His design are quite adorable and have spawned a number of nice figures, with me buying a few of them such as Sakuya. The original… Continue reading Wang Bailong – Blade Arcus from Shining – 1/7 figure model kit
Macross Delta VF-31J Siegfried Hayate with Fast Pack – Bandai 1/72 model kit
Macross Delta isn’t the best of the Macross series (and I have yet to finish the highly rated Frontier), but the Siegfried is a nice plane in concept. I’m not sure why I’m building so many of them really (this being the first of 4). They’re lacking the armored variants even. I’m not super thrilled… Continue reading Macross Delta VF-31J Siegfried Hayate with Fast Pack – Bandai 1/72 model kit
