Upcoming : Kotobukiya HMM Storm Sworder
Kotobukiya has announced the EZ-029 Storm Sworder as their next HMM release. The colors out of the box is monotonous but I think it’s a good canvas for some striking color schemes. I hope parts breakdown makes it easier to paint though. Not sure if the clear base is included but this looks good. This …...
WIP : Bandai HGUC RGM-79G GM Ground
I just got this one snapfitted and it looks very good. Just a few quick thoughts: The proportions are good. It doesn’t suffer from the typical HGUC ailments of big hands, small heads and small waists. The waist is small but not too bad here. I’m liking the new design aesthetics of the newer releases. …...

WIP : Bandai HGUC 1/144 GM Quel Pt.2
After the EF-111A Raven, I’ve been trying to get this completed before the end of April. I tried to get some paint variation like my previous build but it didn’t turn out that well. I also tried to see if I can get a stronger base coat to prevent the paint from being scratched off …...
Upcoming : Max Factory 1/72 Soltic Big Foot
Max Factory is finally releasing the Big Foot from the anime Fang of the Sun Dougram, which is one of my favorite designs from the series. To be honest though, I really paid more attention it after it appeared in Battletech, where it was called the Battlemaster. This was one of the designs FASA appropriated …...

This is coming in June and the boxart has been released. All I can say is…. FWAH!...
Upcoming : HGUC Barzam
Next in the HGUC line is the weirdly proportion mass production Barzam from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Even though it’s oddly shaped, it’s actually designed by the famous Mamoru Nagano. There is a Refined Barzam design that was done by Hajime Katoki for Gundam Sentinel that brought the design more in-line with the Gundam Mk....

WIP : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-0C Phoenix Pt. 7
There’s a very obvious step on the wing joints which I try my best to fix. Nothing too drastic like sanding like mad though. Just an attempt to make the step look less jarring. Painting begins with a base of black primer. I’m going with the camo from the kit instruction since I couldn’t come …...
