Every Hasegawa kit comes with two guarantees: You’ve got to paint it and you’re spending most of the build filling and sanding. (1/72 Queadluun Rau-Miria movie version) #macross

Food blog: A bright and cool recipe for summer, pineapple salad! Macross fan: Are you trying to kill me?

The last 20% of any build seems to take so much longer than the first 80%. Here's my take on Macross Plus' "Project Supernova." aka Two guys with a longstanding grudge duke it out while a malicious AI takes over the world. #macross #gunpla #gunplabuilder The Sharon Apple Incident was an inside job

Have you ever felt that the universe is trying to make you crazy? Like the light switches aren’t what they used to be, and the faucet doesn’t run how you remember it? That’s today.

I did decals today. Like…12 decals. Why do I hate them so much on this build??

The RG Grandpa has been on my shelf for months and I just learned that rifle storage was a thing yesterday. #gunplanoob

VF-1J Valkyrie, Hasegawa 1/48

I've completed Char's Gelgoog, a much simpler build I enjoyed. I only needed a little paint and a new monoeye to really bring it out #gunpla

"protect and serve"

I wanted to practice some techniques for an upcoming build and the Netflix RFV Zaku is the victim. So very shiny! #gunpla #gundam HG Zaku II Solari RFV

I knew that my first coat of candy paint would be the color of a presidential toilet, but I dig how the final result ended up (3 coats later).

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Another one for the backlog!

Wave is rereleasing their 1/24 scale Tachikoma #plamo kit. I've got one, it's a good kit. www.hobby-wave.com/en/products/...

lmao every tough guy wants to dress like a soldier and be treated like a soldier. none of them want to spend days shitting themselves in a shipping crate while someone fires rockets at them in the distance this isn't exactly what they deserve but it's pretty funny

Regrettably not a color shift, just two different colors of clear. But it did give me an idea: What would Mr Crystal Sapphire look like over Red Metal?

My experiences with base coats: Mr Surfacer 1000-airbrush Poor coverage and adhesion Krylon ShortCuts Black -can Great base, wonderful glossy finish Alclad black primer & microfiller -airbrush Good but sporadic adhesion issues Tamiya gloss black-can Thicker than Krylon and does the job very well.

Nobell Gundam Berserker Mode makes its triumphant return! www.gundamplanet.com/products/hgf...

Testing some candy coat techniques. Over a gold base didn’t turn out well with the green.

Rg Gundam Mk-II titans! You get to dress the full inner frame with the armor, to choose from different options for shoulders and vents, to use fabric tubes as pipes! Plus it's my favorite gundam design, so glad it gets stolen from the fascists 😎 #gundam #gunpla #gundamphotography #gunplaphotography

Happy Pride

The best* part of any build... MASKING! More mindless tasks as I fight imaginary creatures in the Abomination Vaults. Halfway done the masking. More tape work tomorrow. #gunpla #gundam
