The last time I presented these guys over a week ago, they're pretty much busts with the main torso and head units completed. A week passed, and thanks to a lot of actual office work, I only managed to build the arms. Granted, each arm required two applications of paint, one for the gray strip … Continue reading Taking Slower Than Expected. Work-in-Progress #2: HG Gundam Exia / Astraea Dual Build

Correcting Past Mistakes! Work-in-Progress #1: HG Gundam Exia / Astraea Dual Build
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.

Just the Weapons, and a Leg? Work-in-Progress #2: MODEROID Ingram Double Build
Just chugging along with this double build and I'm a good portion of the way complete with both kits. With just the hands, weapons, and a leg of Unit 2.
