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.

Twice Upon a Time: RG Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0) – Work in Progress #1
High Grades, or other similarly sized/scaled/themed kits are my bread and butter in this hobby. That's why I don't get as much Real Grade kits as I initially intended and reserve any purchases for very notable or 'event' kits (and no, not event exclusive kits, you get the idea).

When Good Smile Company showed prototypes of their MODEROID Evangelion kits at the All-Japan Model & Hobby Show, I was literally scratching my head and was asking one question. Why? We already got the Real Grades which are really good, and we also got the Kotobukiya kits if you want them simpler and more anime … Continue reading Now I Understand Why This Exists: MODEROID Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0)
All Japan Model & Hobby Show 2022: Let’s Talk MODEROID
One of the more active companies and product lines in recent years, or at least that's visible to me, is Good Smile Company's MODEROID line of plastic models. This is the only line I know that's willing to take on and release model kits from more obscure properties, or those that are popular but don't … Continue reading All Japan Model & Hobby Show 2022: Let’s Talk MODEROID
