"Big O SHOWTIME!"
Moderoid Big O
Photos by my good friend Alan Yuan.
Big O has become a cherished piece in my collection and I'm happy I had the chance to make this the way I did.
I'll post more photos and talk process in future posts.

I picked up this acrylic Lazy Susan at a department store earlier. I think it's going to come in a lot of handy in the future. Makes a creat noise too.

#RVAGunpla threw a Halloween party for our Friday build night this year.
Ya boi had to dress up as Duo, with appropriate snapping, to enjoy the festivities. @charmander-aznable.bsky.social slide in with her Rinko cosplay, and another friend came in as Domon. What a champ.

Almost finished with the MG Altron.
Thinking I want to do the Protest scene from the film.
See how it shapes up I suppose.

also! if you ever wonder why there's a kit we're choosing not to carry (looking at the "Godzilla RX-78"), it's because we've heard from sources we trust immensely that it is a bad and/or disappointing product not worth stocking.
to be clear, we'll never sell "bootlegs" in the traditional sense of 1:1 mold rips and re-scales. we never stocked Dragon Momoka recasts (pre-raid) or the Fat Cat scale-up of the RG 2.0. that said, any original molds are pretty much fair game regardless of in-fiction resemblances.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Took a little time off, now it's back to the backlog busy.
This guy's been on the shelf for years. God I love a Goose.
Stay tuned for more of them soon!
