WIP : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-22S Sturmvogel II Pt.2
Progress slow (as usual) but basic construction done. First up though, is to do the landing gear in the up position. I cut out the support beams on the gear doors and then I used some blu-tack as support for the doors to make sure they don’t fall into the bays. The rear landing gear …...
WIP : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-22S Sturmvogel II Pt.1
Like all of their Macross series kits, Hasegawa engineered the kit to be done up in pretty straightforward subassemblies. I decided to do them up as much as possible before the painting process. As usual, we begin with the cockpit. It’s quite sparse but should be OK with the pilot figure in it. Next up, …...

WIP : Bandai HGUC RGM-79 GM Pt.3
It’s been a while heh. I always get bogged down in the sanding process but anyhow, finding some spare ball joints in my GM Quel resin kit spurred me to fix the one glaring problem with this project: the broken neck. The original fix (August 30 entry) I did worked somewhat. The head would fit …...
WIP : Bandai HGUC RGM-79 GM Pt.2
I cut up the leg joints up so the lower leg can twist independently from the thighs. I find it gives the GM a better look. The cutting is quite rough so I’ll probably need to do some fixing to make the break in the joint less obvious. To allow the legs to be pushed …...
WIP : Bandai HGUC RGM-79 GM Pt.1
My previous RGM-79 was a custom colored work. I decided that since I want to start a GM collection, I’d better have at least one GM in the standard red and white color scheme. So here it is, in all its assembled glory. For some strange reason, I find that it looks a bit stumpy. …...
