Upcoming : P-Bandai HGUC EWAC Jegan
P-Bandai is a double-edged sword. For one thing, it gives Bandai a chance to issue obscure subjects. On the other hand, these are sometimes the more interesting subjects but are hard to get your hands on. This is one of them. This is coming in February 2018 @ 3,240JPY.

Completed : Bandai 1/72 Incom T-65B X-wing Starfighter
Brand: Bandai 0191406 Media: Injection Plastic Markings: Custom The Subject The X-wing is a starfighter used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. It is so-named due to how it resembles an X when its S-foils are locked in attack position. It is armed with a laser cannon on each S-foil and proton …...
WIP : Bandai 1/72 X-wing starfighter Pt. 2 – Painting and Finishing
The following is a general step-by-step on how I finish my model kits. First up is a primer base oF black. I prefer black now over other colors because if I miss some areas later with the main colors, it’s pretty much instant shadowing. The final tones definitely don’t look the same compared to painting …...
Upcoming : Bandai PG 1/72 Millenium Falcon
I’ve heard rumblings of this and was surprised that it wasn’t announced at Shizouka 2017, but here it is after all. Bandai has labeled it as ‘Perfect Grade’ which means it’ll probably include all the bells and whistles, including the light-up bits. Based on their Star Wars products so far, this will be a...
Upcoming : SOC Dancouga Renewal
This is quite a surprise. Bandai has announced the Renewal version of the Soul of Chogokin GX-13 Dancouga. I have the original DX Chogokin Dancouga from the 1980s and this one runs circles around that one in all sorts of ways. This Renewal version looks to be more anime-accurate compared to GX-13. Looks real good. …...
WIP : Bandai 1/72 X-wing starfighter Pt. 1 – Construction
In the middle of getting bogged down with the fitting issues of my F-5, I decided to get this already snapfitted kit done. As usual, it was a joy to snapfit and 99% of it doesn’t require cement. Out of the box, this builds into Luke Skywalker’s Red 5 from the Battle of Yavin, and …...
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. …...
Completed : Bandai HGUC 1/144 RGM-79Q GM Quel
Kit Info Brand and Kit Number: Bandai #0148831 Media: Injection Plastic Markings: Gundam Decal Set #22 and #30 The Subject The RGM-79Q GM Quel is the first mass-produced mobile suit deployed by the Titans, the elite peacekeeping force founded by the Federation after the events of Operation Stardust in UC0083. It is designed for...
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 : 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....
