And the struggle to reduce my Gunpla backlog continues! I’ve just finished assembling the MG Crossbone Gundam X-1. It’s the pirate Gundam and it’s very cool. Things to consider with this model: No poly caps! Cool since models are meant to be posed and not played with. The F91 is the same way. It’s very [...]
Gundam
Finished the MG Gyan
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 [...]
Completed the MG RX-78-2 v2.0 Gundam
Moving on to the MG Gyan now.
Working on the MG RX-78-2 ver 2.0
“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 [...]
When can we send it to North Korea?
I’m just asking.
Yep, that’s the deal with my son
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 [...]
Finished Char's MG Zaku II ver 2.0
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.
Speed Grade Wing Gundam
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 [...]
First model my son built
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 [...]
Got some Speed Grade models
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 [...]
