Everyone in my household has defaulted to *knock knock knock* name (repeat 2 times). This pleases me. I like to knock 4 times.

YF-21 painting day. The grey parts are now still grey. An otherworldly grey. Literally. Mr Color Zeon MS Gray.

A post (thread? Convo?) on Bluesky got me thinking about my mediumest accomplishments. 1/72 Armoured VF-25 (Alto) and SV-262 with Lilldraken (Mirage Jenius). Brutal challenges that I will never ever transform.

Large areas of tape damage have been sanded and repainted. It’s good to have this mess dealt with.

ガンプラの山を崩せ has dropped a detailed photo review of the HG Char's Zaku II High Mobility Type, from Cucuruz Doan's Island. Whilst P-Bandai, I didn’t expect to see this design receiving any sort of release at this stage. 🔥 Link: schizophonic9.com/re9/hg_ms06r...

Making and spraying today resulted in disaster. Normal Tamiya masking tape over Tamiya acrylic. It even peeled off the primer!

I’m not building right now because it’s spring break and that means vacation. Here’s some of what I’m doing instead.

None of the articles I read made this all make sense to me than Robert Evans saying the rationalists invented techno‐Calvinism. Straight up "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" shit.

A kit this easy shouldn’t look this good when it’s done! RG RX-78-2 ver2.0

Another cold and snowy day means no painting. Instead I stickered my RG Grandad v2.0 and played with its articulation.

Hours spent hunched in front of my spray booth mottling. Hopefully it gets easier as i add more layers.

Today was a struggle to find meaning and peace. Then I held my airbrush and felt, for a brief moment, that I would control my world. I over thinned the paint… The plastic is spattered And grey But still good.
