A man’s fight is a man’s fight is a grail kit

Grail kit #2 is “Otoko no Tatakai” depicting the fight between Zeruel and Shogoki. This scene in Evangelion’s Ep 19 was a relatively obscure kit by Musashiya back in the days. I love its dynamism and its symbolism 🙂 May be I can still crank out one or two kits before hibernation… ganbatte ne!!

Midori Washio from Protect Gear (Takara)

Introduction Scale 1/6 Sculptor … Maker … Completed 07/03/08 Parts Another special forces member from the Protect Gear universe. Midori was the first figure offered in the Cool Girl line before Chuichi. No major mods this time, just weathering so that Midori can be paired up with Chuichi.

Introduction   Scale 1/72 Sculptor … Maker … Completed 07/03/08 Parts   One of the best rendition of X-Wing by Fine Molds. I mainly build this to accompany the Millennium Falcon. Since I chose to build the Falcon with the second Falcon trip configuration, I built the X-Wing as Luke’s.

Cranking it! After being in suspended animation for almost a year, I’ve finally done the touch up required to finish up this grail kit of mine, Silent Moebius Venus Plaque. Enjoy 🙂 (nudity alert)
