I've continued along my HG Force Impulse Gundam double build, and I've managed to paint and complete the upper torso unit, or what would be the Chest Flyer. And yes, it looks dumb and uninspired as it was back in 2004. After taking this photo, I was also able to build the waist units so … Continue reading Chest Flyer Looks Dumb: HG Force Impulse Gundam – Double Build Work in Progress #2

Gunpla Whiplash is Real: HG Force Impulse Gundam – Double Build Work-in-Progress #1
Coming from building both HG Gundam Aerial and Lfrith, two of the latest Gunpla releases coinciding with the current broadcast of Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury, I decided to do a complete 180 and follow up with something that would need much more effort to look good. Especially given the almost 20-year gap … Continue reading Gunpla Whiplash is Real: HG Force Impulse Gundam – Double Build Work-in-Progress #1
