Box Art Extravaganza… Not! Work-in-Progress #0: HG Gundam Exia & Gundam Astraea Dual Build

Following the MODEROID Ingrams, I've set my sights once again on Gunpla, and to a particular series I wanted to return to.

Nope, this is not a box art extravaganza post … Continue reading Box Art Extravaganza… Not! Work-in-Progress #0: HG Gundam Exia & Gundam Astraea Dual Build

After a couple of weeks, I've now finished the double build for the MODEROID Ingram 1 & 2 kits from Good Smile Company.

That made me think of the last time I built a MODEROID kit, which was God Mars around late 2020. So, I guess we're due for another MODEROID build and I decided to go with a double build for … Continue reading Inspired by Mecha Smile Impact! Work-in-Progress #1: MODEROID Ingram Double Build
