This is build no.9 for 2024! I'm still in recovery mode from the Solomon and trying my best to get my modelling libido back.
This was voted for all the way in Jan 2023(!) and the build was not quite as simple as I was hoping for. As is par for the Kotobukiya course, there's a ton of seamli...
Build no.8 for 2024 is done!
I'm still feeling slightly demotivated after the disasterous GP02 build, so I started this 30MS as a side project to help get my spirits up. Even after this leisurely 9 hour build I'm still not feeling quite the levels of motivation of 2023 so I think I will nee...

Build number 7 for 2024 done! This was probably the longest build in recent memory clocking in at around 63 hours. I had a very rough start to this build, the kit had a part missing when I received it so it had to be put on ice for a good month before I could really start. Then at the end I botch...

I've been meaning to get back into photoshoots this year and so far it's not going all too well. My one-photo-a-day challenge died about 2 weeks into the year ever since I figured out that I don't have enough hours in a day nor the energy to paint, do my day job and then take photos.
I've b...

The Huckebein is one of the GOAT Katoki designs in my opinion, in my eyes it's the most perfect Not-Gundam out there that dares to even usurp the very series that it's based on. After the hype and dissappointment of the Mk2, I was cautious but somewhat optimistic about the MkIII when i...

It's almost hard to believe it's been 10 years since the last time I built the Aegis. One of the reasons why i've been putting this one off for so long is again color related, as the the "canon" color can wildly differ depending on whether it's in the anime, lineart or the plastic itself. 2024-03-01 06:08:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey guys, I've been doing my daily photoshoots and my 2nd kit for the year was the Ayame I build back in 2020.

It's 2024 and time to kinda get back to work. I have made myself a goal to take more pictures this year and I thought I'd set myself a goal of taking at least 1 picture per day.
