I’ve been trying to catch up on my back log of Gunpla and I assembled the MG Gyan. As master grades go, it was “Eh”. The build was not particularly difficult and there were not many surprises.
It’s a heavy model and posing it is difficult. The shield is huge. If I wanted to pose it [...]

“Can you please build my legs now?”
The Master Grade RX-78-2 version 2.0 is coming along nicely. Bandai keeps improving on it’s model designs and this one is easy to build. Compared to the version 1.5 it’s a joy.
Once I’ve completed it I’ll take a picture of it next to the version 2.0 of Char’s Zaku [...]

This is the HG Hy-gogg I just built. I have been catching up on my Gunpla stash lately because of a deal I made with my 7 year old son. When he’s extra good in school he gets to build a model with me.
He’s been extra good for the last 4 school day so I [...]

I finished Char’s Zaku II version 2.0. I’ll post better pictures on Flickr today.
These newer MGs from Bandai keep getting better and better. The joints are very articulate and the whole model is very posable.

My son completed another model. This time the 1/200 Speed Grade Wing Gundam.
I have to slow him down or we’ll run out of models for him to work on. This one is his third model this week.
It’s great seeing him concentrate on the parts and following directions. He gets very focused on what he’s doing [...]

The set of First Grade 1/144 models from Hobby Search came today and my son wanted to get started. After dinner we sat down and he got to work. I think he did pretty well for someone almost 7 years old.
All I had to do was show him how to clip the pieces off the [...]

My soon to be 7 year old son is fascinated whenever I build a model. He really enjoys just watching me and examining the parts I put together. It’s part of that whole son dad thing and I like him watching me too.
His school teacher wants him to work on things that have step by [...]

I ordered some 1/144 scale FG models from Hobby Search and was excited to see they arrived. I ordered 6 and each one was 285 yen, so with EMS shipping charge of 2,800 yen I spent ~$47.
What I actually got instead of 6 FG Gundam models was two Tamiya 1/48 scale German 3ton 4×2 Cargo [...]
