Frame Arms Girl Greifen
This is build no.9 for 2024! I'm still in recovery mode from the Solomon and trying my best to get my modelling libido back.This was voted for all the way in Jan 2023(!) and the build was not quite as simple as I was hoping for. As is par for the Kotobukiya course, there's a ton of seamlines...
30 MS Tiasha w/ body parts G03
Build no.8 for 2024 is done!I'm still feeling slightly demotivated after the disasterous GP02 build, so I started this 30MS as a side project to help get my spirits up. Even after this leisurely 9 hour build I'm still not feeling quite the levels of motivation of 2023 so I think I will need ...

Solomon GP02A
Build number 7 for 2024 done! This was probably the longest build in recent memory clocking in at around 63 hours. I had a very rough start to this build, the kit had a part missing when I received it so it had to be put on ice for a good month before I could really start. Then at the end I botched ...

HG 00 Sky
I've been meaning to get back into photoshoots this year and so far it's not going all too well. My one-photo-a-day challenge died about 2 weeks into the year ever since I figured out that I don't have enough hours in a day nor the energy to paint, do my day job and then take photos.I...
No.6 for 2024 - HG Huckebein MkIII
The Huckebein is one of the GOAT Katoki designs in my opinion, in my eyes it's the most perfect Not-Gundam out there that dares to even usurp the very series that it's based on. After the hype and dissappointment of the Mk2, I was cautious but somewhat optimistic about the MkIII when it was ...

No.5 for 2024 - MG Aegis Gundam
It's almost hard to believe it's been 10 years since the last time I built the Aegis. One of the reasons why i've been putting this one off for so long is again color related, as the the "canon" color can wildly differ depending on whether it's in the anime, lineart or the pl...

No.4 for 2024 - MG Char's Zaku 2
It's been 9 years since I built the Char's Zaku 2 and now I can finally check this off my "rebuild" list. I actually kind of forgot how awesome this kit was, back when MGs kinda had detailed inner frames. Total build time was about 30 hours and the last day of assembly was pretty hec...

#3 for 2024 - 30MS Luluce
No.3 for 2024 is in the bag! At this rate I feel I will definitely build more Musume/non-Gundam than Gundams this year, a sad sign of the times we live in :(I got somewhat inspired by the Luluce reaction video I did recently, plus AI has been bugging me for a while to do this. I'd been previousl...

Build #2 2024 - MS General Ma Chao
I started this build over a year ago in January 2023 and it kinda got pushed to the side because I got anxious about painting flesh tones for a bit.Anyway after painting the 30MS Siana I got pretty hyped about working on musumes again, so I smashed this one out in about 20-ish hours. The bike itself...
Saint reacts to a 30MS Luluce build :O
I saw this video a while ago when it was released and didn't quite agree with Alan's experience on these 30MS builds.Please note that these react videos are for entertainment/education purposes only and that I have the utmost respect for Alan.Also apologies to Dean / Gio for being left out o...
#1 for 2024 - 30 MS Siana Armacia
I'm on the board for 2024! Decided to finally overcome my fear of doing skin tones again and do musumes once more.The Siana skin tone is a bit darker than what I've been used to painting, and at first I thought there would be some bit of brown in the mix. Turns out it's just more orange ...
Build no.28 for 2023 - HG Lfrith
This was build number 28 for 2023, HG Lfrith.In 2022 I built a yet to be posted Tekkaman themed Lfrith, so I had a spare shield for this build. I decided to test out thinning Mr Hobby Aqueous which is supposed to be an acrylic with Mr Levelling Thinner and to my surprise it worked out pretty well. I...

Diver Ayame photoshoot
Hey guys, I've been doing my daily photoshoots and my 2nd kit for the year was the Ayame I build back in 2020.Yet again the shoot ended early as the eye decal on the ninja mask face decided to chip off :SSoon thereafter one of the hair pegs broke too. This isn't looking good for 2024 so far ...
Asra Archer photoshoot
Happy New Year guys!It's 2024 and time to kinda get back to work. I have made myself a goal to take more pictures this year and I thought I'd set myself a goal of taking at least 1 picture per day.I decided to revisit this Asra Archer I built back in 2019. I've never actually properly ph...
Painting yellow - MG Zeta Gundam ver.Ka
Hey all, I realised I didn't have any videos covering painting yellow, so I quickly made this vid up to help out Calvin.This videos shows the painting of the yellow parts on the MG Zeta Gundam ver.Ka.I made this in a hurry so excuse any typos or jank with the commentary!
Saint reacts to Iwata Toshio painting the MG Gundam ver.Ka!
Happy New Year!I finally filmed a react video to the painting video that I always referred to in my shading guide.This is Plamo Tsukorou #9(?) featuring Iwata Toshio, in this episode he builds and paints the RX-78-2 Gundam ver.Ka and is the video that I learned how to shade from back in 2006/2007.Le...
Build no.26 for 2023 - HG Demi Barding
The Demi Barding was yet another impressive entry in the HG WFM line, though this one required a bit more masking that the others. The grey details on the shoulders and chest all required detailing, and I ended up painting those colors in first then used the included stickers to mask them off.Despit...

Build no.27 for 2023 - HG Schwartzette
This was build number 27 for 2023, completed on 11th November.The Schwartzette is yet another winner from the Witch from Mercury line. Seamlines are worked in as panels, and a million play options with the sword-thingy make this a must have in my opinion. It also continues the trend of the WFM desig...
