GQuuuuuuQ kits continue to be ridiculous. The lance on Xavier's Gyan is crazy. Lots of gold panel lining going on in addition to the gold foil decals.
Working on waterslides for the Gyan, have decals for the Zaku, and have the GFreD with decals waiting to go next.

The inside is similarly decorated but he didn't clean like he was supposed to, so no pictures in there.

Thankfully Microsoft has a built-in tool that lets you do this both programmatically and quickly.
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration
Feed that a CSV file of emailaddresses in a foreach() loop and let it run.
Which is *exactly* how they set these in the first place.

I love the length and breadth of experience and skill and love for the craft that I see when scrolling past a kit I took my time on look absolutely balls to the wall crazy detailed.
Actual compliment, not sarcastic dig. Waiting on waterslides for this guy still.

Going to end up with all the Witch from Mercury kits at this rate. They're all so good.
Painted the black and the purple-grey with metallic black, and applied g-rework water slides. Still need to finish decals on the black chest and waist parts.

It has been 20 years since *I* had to take quarterly use of force training, but I'm pretty fucking sure arresting someone is either Soft or Hard Physical Control on the Use of Force Continuum.

Arresting someone is *absolutely* a use of force. Anytime you lay hands on someone you are using force. Anytime you are present at a scene you are using force.

It's Rad Tech Week so I have been volunteered to make stuff for the gift bags.
I'm stealing one of those Team Leader ones. Fitting for both Work and Home.

I don't generally do High Grade kits. I love the linkages and compliant mechanisms in Real Grade and higher-end Master Grade kits.
That said, I've run out of both RG and MG kits that I want, display space is an issue, and there are kits that just don't exist outside of HG.
Z'Gok is fun.

The annual "Get Rebecca's car in the garage so she doesn't have to scrape it when she's on call" cleanup was easier than usual this year. I've been better about keeping the hobby shop confined to "my" 1/4 of the garage.

Having to deal with my wife's autoimmmune/allergy stuff the last 3 years, and having her come home from yet another catered lunch or sweet treats that had nothing she could eat, made me think about how much it must suck to be a kid with allergies on Halloween.

Finished snap building the new RG Wing Zero. It'll be a month or so until waterslides get released, but hot damn does it look out of the box with panel lines and some light detail paint.
