I didn't have much time last week, and I knew I won't have much time this week either, so I really hoped to make a lot of progress from the HG Gundam Exia & Astraea I'm currently building. Only to be marred by a lot of tiny bits, and not not-so-tiny, needing color correction. I … Continue reading Correcting Past Mistakes! Work-in-Progress #1: HG Gundam Exia / Astraea Dual Build

That made me think of the last time I built a MODEROID kit, which was God Mars around late 2020.
