Happy Monday, folks! I’m very glad that I was able to get some nice work done this weekend! Hygogg Frogs So one of the larger projects on my workbench right now is a diorama involving two HG Hygogg kits. The idea behind it is a chemical/ alien secretion ooze spill that is slowly corrupting the land and water which lead to the alien hygoggs (and … Continue reading Work Bench Mondays: Frogs and Commissons
So I had my first major scale modeling convention and competition experience last year at Granitecon! It was a blast! Granitecon is an annual model contest that is hosted by IPMS (International Plastic Modelers’ Society) and the Granite State Modelers Club. There’s over 25 categories you can enter into, such as tanks, planes, scifi, gundam, and so on. I plan on attending this and Patcon … Continue reading Scale Model Convention: Granitecon IPMS 2021 (and prep for 2022!)

Greeting everyone! There’s been a large amount of discourse, debates, and discussions in my local hobby circles, which has led to some food for thought, or Thursday rambles. Both on the ideas of mistakes, criticism, and a few other musings. Mistakes are okay to make (and sometimes a little encouraging) Mistakes are a dime a dozen in these hobbies, or anything in general. It could … Continue reading Mistakes, Criticism, and Thursday Rambles

I’ll be showing some work-in-progresses and finished projects, with commentary on what I liked and could have done better. I can’t fit all of them on here so I’m covering some of them until later on. Work in Progresses The Cerulean … Continue reading Work Bench Mondays: What’s on the Table?
Some of you may know that I am wonderfully located in New England, more specifically the Granite state! Not only are we blessed to have such wonderful natural sights, but New Hampshire is also filled with a plethora of wonderful hobby shops, for both scale models and Warhammer. I have been on a one-man mission to visit as many as I can drive to. It’s … Continue reading Home sweet locals!
So last September it was announced that Gundam fans were getting a new show that was scheduled to air in October of this year. The show is wonderfully titled “The Witch from Mercury”. It’s the first show we’ve had in about seven years, not since Iron-Blooded Orphans. I’m not going to lie, I was intrigued by the title of it. Witch? Mercury? Sign me up! … Continue reading The Witch from Mercury (We’re not in Kansas anymore!)
Now when we talk about building gunpla, the texture of a buildd isn’t something that you typically hear about, right? More often than not the smoothness of a paint job or lack of “orange peel” (when top coating goes sideways, but that’s for another day) is what’s mentioned. What happens when you want to spin the creative bottle and try something new with your gunpla? … Continue reading Textures and the ways to enjoy them! (on your gunpla)
