Haven't been around this space as much lately.
We've got a big event this weekend, so I'll try to post some fun from there for you guys here.

Hope you're doing well Blusky fam✌️

HGペーネロペー進捗

腰っ！どうせ見えなくなるフロントと
リアは開口して裏側も制作して内部パーツをいれます。
薄いのでこうする他なかった😑

Progress on HG PENELOPE
The lower back! The front will be hidden anyway.
The rear is opened and the back side is created to insert the internal parts.

Thanks! Their designs are really nice once you get them together, and the proportions are pretty good too.

They're definitely over engineered, so the builds are kind of a slog. 😅

Eastern Model MegaMan Zero & Copy X

I've had both of these in the backlog for a long time. Finally decided to sit down and finish them.
I definitely want to paint these to look like their original counterparts during the Elf Wars.

Long form project.

Haro had additional thoughts.

MGSD Freedom Real Type Colors.

I painted this shortly after it was released, and built the base for it a few months later. Finally got some really detailed shots of it the other weekend and while it was hard to get the digital marble pattern, I'm happy with this look.

Protomen Act III got me in some kind of way this weekend.

Promised some more #Big0 and I'm happy not to disappoint.

Last weekend my good friends at Onthreephotography asked me to bring some subjects for photos, and Big 0 was at the top of their list.

The photos they produced are unbelievable. Just wow.

Started the ZZA Gus with a little help from Max tonight. Great looking kit that builds nicely.

Looking forward to buddy building this one with a friend here locally.

Come on Bandai, RG Master Gundam.

書き初め

My 2025 goal was to build as many models as I could and relearn why I loved the hobby.

Safe to say I did just that.

This new model is a little squiggly...

Someone found the hobby room today.

Just gotta build your gloss to a wet coat OP. Practice training your eye to see the surface becoming uniform in the light and you'll be golden in no time.

Finally up! here's the first version! 225.10mm size with pen-holder attachment and other stuffs!
thanks for the support! back in the day I honestly want to do a WereG figure, its a dream come true for me!

Back on the horse after a few weeks of inactivity.
Despite any setbacks, I'm determined to finish this RG Tallgeese for my years end.

It's time I have one on my shelf.

The people that matter most.
That's what the season is about right? Yesterday we put on our yearly Secret Casval gift exchange at #RVAgunpla and I'm so grateful to have all these folks as a part of my life.
I was gifted the MGSD Aeriel and this HG Union Flag and I'm excited to build both! #gunpla

A propaganda poster in a painterly style. At the top there is a Nazi soldier in a faded grey with his hands raised at the point of a bayonet. Above him it says "We beat 'em before.." Below him in darker grey is an ICE agent in the same posture, with a hand pushing back at him, its palm out in a "stop" gesture. Below it says "We'll beat 'em again!"

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."

Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

These two stay beefin'.

If you've been on any kind of fence about these RG, they're superb.
11 year old me is the happiest camper.

Through most of November I was sick with a respiratory infection. It wasn't much fun, and I got no time to work on the RG Tallgeese I wanted to finish for my birthday.

But we did add this little guy to our family and that made all the difference getting through.

Meet little Maxwell.

"Big O SHOWTIME!"
Moderoid Big O

Photos by my good friend Alan Yuan.

Big O has become a cherished piece in my collection and I'm happy I had the chance to make this the way I did.

I'll post more photos and talk process in future posts.

Incredible!

another fast watercolor :"D

I'm allowed to have a lil fun~

Modeling a cape for the Arkhos like hornet's is gonna be a huge pain x'D

Weird Ai Wing collage...

Not about that.

I picked up this acrylic Lazy Susan at a department store earlier. I think it's going to come in a lot of handy in the future. Makes a creat noise too.

#RVAGunpla threw a Halloween party for our Friday build night this year.
Ya boi had to dress up as Duo, with appropriate snapping, to enjoy the festivities. @charmander-aznable.bsky.social slide in with her Rinko cosplay, and another friend came in as Domon. What a champ.
