It's as if my choice to build the High Grade kits from Heavy Metal L-Gaim is perfectly timed as 2025 is apparently the 40th anniversary of the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emuH7vhVDsQ I don't think the anniversary would get as much fanfare as Gundam, but at least my builds for these kits are well timed. Speaking of which... … Continue reading It’s Definitely Time for… HG L-Gaim! Completed Build, More or Less

Pivot to the Plamo: HG L-Gaim – Work in Progress #1
I teased building the HG L-Gaim with the completion of my RG Evangelion Unit-01 build, and this is something I've hemming and hawing for a good while. Back in 2020, Bandai Spirits announced that they are reviving the HG Heavy Metal L-Gaim kits with the release of a new HG L-Gaim Mk-II, a kit that … Continue reading Pivot to the Plamo: HG L-Gaim – Work in Progress #1
Am I Ready to Handle Macross-Level Decal Work? RG Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0) – Completed Build
There's supposed to be a one week gap between W.I.P post #2 and this one, though I apparently forgot to click publish on that post. In case any one would be picky of such details. There's some construction at the house at the moment so things may slow down for a week or two when … Continue reading Am I Ready to Handle Macross-Level Decal Work?

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. For starters, the kit isn't obviously 1/144 scale … Continue reading Appreciating the Absence of Masking: RG Evangelion Unit-01 (Evangelion 3.0+1.0) – Work in Progress #2
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
