sometimes I dream of sleepiness

I built the HGWFM Dilanza Sol this week.

I don't love how chonky these Dilanza kits are... And the Sol, specifically, is darker than I'd like. It's hard to pick out the surface details and panel lines. But these HGWFM kits are all pretty amazing anyway.

Yet another fantastic Graze kit this week - the HGIBO Graze Ein. I think these Graze kits are my favorite part of the HGIBO line... I'm going to be sad when I run out of variants to build.

Well, it's Groundhog Day... Again.

I was genuinely surprised by this HGTO Guntank Early Type kit. It looks great up on the shelf and it's far more expressive than I expected. Terrific build.

Thanks - that's very kind of you to say.

The Strike Rouge is one of my favorite designs so I was really excited to build this kit... But then I went and messed up the topcoat and left it looking all dusty. Oh well. Still a fun build. I'll just have to revisit it at some point to fix it.

Loki and Jinxie seem to like their Christmas presents!

Santa's Slay is one of my favorite Christmas movies. It's fantastically cheesy. They clearly didn't have much of a budget - but they put some real effort into this movie. It's great fun.

Happy 5th Birthday to Loki!

It got worse...

This is bullshit.

HGIBO Amida's Hyakuren - just a recolor of the standard Hyakuren with an extra rifle. Didn't love the new color. It's a lot less pink that I expected from the art. Almost fleshy? Kind of weird. The extra rifle is neat though.

HGWFM Demi Barding - another fantastic HGWFM kit... But it's got the same annoying feet/ankles as the rest of the Demi kits. And I really wish it'd come with a stand to display the backpack separately.

The HGTO Gundam Base Limited Gundam FSD (with Prototype Long-Range Beam Rifle). Decent build with a lot of extra options, but I didn't love the long-range beam rifle, and the dark plastic swallows a lot of details.

That'd be fantastic. Break a kit up into 24 bags. Package just one step of the assembly and its parts in each bag. You wouldn't even know what you're building until the end.

Somebody should really do a gunpla/Gundam Advent calendar...

First snow of the season!

New #gunpla - I finally got to build the HGCE Strike Rouge!

This is one of my favorite designs in Gundam SEED, but it was hard to find this kit specifically. Seems like the old/busted IWSP version is the only one that's readily-available.

Good build, but I don't love the brown panel-liner I used.

Happy Halloween!

I don't live in NYC so I don't get to vote on this and none of these policies would directly affect me... But, damn, it feels good to see a politician clearly, directly, explicitly calling for trans rights.

I wish I'd known STEW was an option back when I went to school...

Every single HGWFM kit I've built has been fantastic. Just terrific all around.

Holy shit... RIFTS? I haven't played that in over 20 years. Used to love that game... I've still got all my books stashed in the basement...

There's those old Ground War kits... And the Hard Graph kits... But they've been out of print for ages.

I built the RG Skygrasper and painted-up a Customize Scene base. Very interesting build. Makes me wish we got more RG vehicles... Maybe one of those hovertruck things from 08th MS Team? Or some of those weird flying tanks from first Gundam?
