Sorry for the month-long absence – usually the months divisible by 3 are the busiest and that means very little modeling activities. I was on the verge of finishing the YF-19 when some decal disaster happened… too bad. But Macross Zero did its job in reigniting my love for the series… its aerial combats are… Continue reading Where’s Cody?
Plaques
It’s that time of the year again, when I have to find wooden plaques to use as bases. When I started out, I used the simplest form of wooden base from trophy shops, which are nicely finished and cheap. You have to find a shop that will sell the plaques without engraving service or any… Continue reading Plaques
Happy long weekend
It’s the memorial day weekend, so may be I can take some time to do some intense modeling. Typically I have more time to do kits in the beginning of quarters, like April, July, October, but less at the end of them. Right now I’m trying to see if my enthusiaism of the finished SV-51… Continue reading Happy long weekend
Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
She’s been sitting on the floor, waiting for decaling… poor Nora. So I took a deep breath and finished her Anti-U.N. SV-51 gamma. Due to the pain involved I’ll classify this as a “never again” project 😉 With this kit I’m also testing a simple gallery I wrote – should’ve done this in the beginning… Continue reading Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
Introduction Scale 1/72 Maker Hasegawa Completed 05/14/06 Retail 2800yen Macross Zero is a prequel to my long time favorite Macross, and chronicled the struggle between UN and Anti-UN force. The SV-51 belongs to the Anti-UN force, and this variation with the flamboyant patterns is piloted by ace female pilot Nora Polinsky. The plane is inspired… Continue reading Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
Flying Cammy
I was partially done with the Yukishiro Cammy and was trying to test fit her against her base (yes I should’ve done it earlier 😀 ). Wow! I didn’t realize she was only hinged to the base via her hand. Now her pose makes more sense to me, and I have some ideas about possible… Continue reading Flying Cammy
Sigh
The new gallery is down again. Apparently someone was hammering it, and the server couldn’t take the load. I guess I’ll try writing a simple one myself… In the mean time I’ve resurrected all the old galleries.
Jigoku Shoujo
I got a bit burned out from working on Four continuously for the past two weeks (and still have to fix some stuff 🙁 ), so I took a detour and started watching Jigoku Shoujo (or Hell Girl). Basically the plot revolves around a girl from hell who answer people’s wishes for revenge by claiming… Continue reading Jigoku Shoujo
Blood+
I’ve finished the 2nd arc of Blood+, and I must say I’m liking the show a lot. The basic plot is pretty standard – evil corp turning people into monsters, girl kick-ass fighter, forgot who she is, lived peacefully with family until it got destroyed, trying to find herself. But the details somehow pull the… Continue reading Blood+
Weekend crunch #2
Continue from the last post… The kit has an elongated layout, so I had to get a frame that has similar sort of aspect ratio. Again Walmart answered my call 🙂 I debated a bit on whether I wanted to save the trouble of cutting an acrylic sheet to replace the frame’s glass, but I… Continue reading Weekend crunch #2
