Appreciating the Absence of Masking: RG Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0) – Work in Progress #2

I've made some great progress with the RG Evangelion Unit-01 from Evangelion 3.0+1.0 over the weekend. It might be more complex than your typical High Grade build, but I found a new sense of appreciation for the conveniences Real Grades bring to the table, literally and figuratively. For starters, the kit isn't obviously 1/144 scale … Continue reading Appreciating the Absence of Masking: RG Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0) – Work in Progress #2
