New shots of the expansion pack for the MG Barbatos Lupus. This base kit was already a must have for me, but this is just going to make it even better. Look at the detail on the broken V-fin.

HG Weißritter coming along. The thick black lines on the skirt armor I did my usual painting instead of using the color correcting stickers, but I needed to clean up a little bit of spillage so that slowed down some progress, but still enjoying the build.

8 years ago I had a ridiculous cosplay group idea…then our picture got shared by the official Gundam Thunderbolt account and Ohtagaki himself.
8 years later, Anime NYC 2017 remains in my memory as one of the best anime convention weekends I’ve ever experienced in my 26 years of going to them.

Good pausing point on the HG Weißritter as I let the first coat of red on the back of the leg boosters dry. Already feeling a lot happier on this build.

Tidied up the workspace before starting my next build. Sort of feels like cleaning house to expel a bad spirit after where I finished on last night. Fingers crossed for the next build, which is something I’ve been looking forward to since they started a line of HG Super Robot Wars kits.

It’s technically done and built, but I don’t care anymore. Right now, I kinda hate this kit

RG Perfectability shields are done. Only worked on those tails tonight since they took a bit more time than expected, but with everything completed the details on these look really cool.

Had a little bit of time to get some building in before RICC stuff consumes the rest of this week. Almost got the shields completed, but I think stopping before having to trim, sand, and panel line 16 of the same piece for the tails is a good choice.

You know, for over 20 years, I’ve been watching this movie around Halloween, a holiday that includes the donning of unusual outfits, and yet it was only today that I connected the coincidence of that and the final line. 😅

Won’t get through all of it on my lunch break, but gotta start the traditional Halloween seasonal viewing.

From time to time I poke around and see what interesting things I might want to add to my Dunbine collection. I already have one prior English magazine ad for the DVD, but I saw these being sold on eBay. Interesting that there’s two variants of essentially the same thing.

Starting to see the finish line with the RG Perfectability and I love the look of the Hyper Beam Javelin.
I also did some experimenting with the Mecha Empire neon blue panel liner I recently got by testing it on an action base.

First look at Master Grade Barbatos Lupus. This’ll be a “smash the pre-order button” one for me. It’s my favorite Gundam design from IBO.

Feels like I’m almost there on the RG Perfectability, then I remember all the extra weapon pieces I’ll be making.

Still kinda regret not tracking down that one when I was in my prime of collecting MSiAs.
Of course I’ll always be proud of how I used one of the two I bought from Battle Scarred line.

I was reminded that this past weekend marked 17 years since Providence Anime Conference.

Little more progress on the RG Perfectibility. I was having flashbacks to when I built the PG and how much that torso frustrated me. I think I’m past the worst of it now, but I have a hunch I’ll be displaying this NTD Mode and never transforming it again.

Way too long since I’ve seen this in an actual theater, which might’ve actually have been the first time it came to the Brattle so many years ago.
