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). It's the same reason why it … Continue reading Twice Upon a Time: RG Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0) – Work in Progress #1

50 Shades of Gray? HG Gundam EX – Work in Progress #1

First, they're doing combining Brave Series mecha, to which I prefer Kotobukiya's approach of non-transforming kits. Second, they're also doing Super Sentai mecha that I decided to stop buying … Continue reading It’s Been a While Since These Got My Interest: SMP Alternative Destiny Dancouga

Should I Stop Asking for Design Sources Soon? SNAA “The Round Table Knights” BE 1/144 Achilles, Aegis Knight

The third kit in SNAA's The Round Table Knights series (?) of Real Grade-inspired "Beyond Exquisite" 1/144 scale kits is here and I can't figure out if this is a derivative of an existing Gundam design or we're now getting into more original territory. Regardless of design origin, here's BE 1/144 Achilles, Aegis Knight. The … Continue reading Should I Stop Asking for Design Sources Soon? SNAA “The Round Table Knights” BE 1/144 Achilles, Aegis Knight
