Tech nerd and scale model builder. Expect the occasional cat picture as well.
Got around to modding the N64 to output RGB today, it's kind of an amazing upgrade from composite, especially with the deblur.

I got a Nintendo 64 last week and today a nice accessory came in the mail. Time to play some classics.

Revell Ghost Ship in 1:150, a neat little snap together kit that comes with a nice jar of glow in the dark paint. The end result is quite fetching but hard to get a good photo of.

I did some restoration work yesterday. The figure pictured is a Bandai Mega Armor model from the late 90s. Age discolored the hand, legs and arms and the sticker for the helmet crystal had faded. This is the result of repainting those parts.

Decided I'd treat myself and buy an N64 as I sold my original in 2001. I'm fully prepared to do some modding on it for RGB or HDMI out, but I'll need to find out what revision it is before I start ordering stuff.

After a break due to medical issues I'm getting back into building stuff, so here's the HG Zeta Gundam. A bit top heavy and fiddly but a nice little kit.

Another kit done, the HMS Victory in 1:450 from Revell. It has a few issues here and there with parts being warped on the sprue but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

And yet another plastic kit done as well, the Italeri 1:24 Audi Quattro Rally in 1981 WRC Monte Carlo livery. The kit itself is originally from 1982 and shows its age, but the decals are great.

Another Rolife kit done, it's quite amazing how well these go together. I've built similar kits from different brands but those required some more work cleaning up and cutting out paper.

Picked up a Robotime red rose last weekend and built it. Neat little wooden kit, but it did require some minor wood glue help.
March 10, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Another kit finished, the RG Z'Gok. I still have to finish painting the tiny Char that comes with it however.
February 23, 2025 at 2:58 PM
Another Revell kit done, 1:144 Apache. The decals on this one are tiny so I skipped the ones on the rocket launchers and Hellfires. I've built this kit before and it was a nasty chore back then.

1:144 Revell Su-27. Quite a nice little build, but it has nothing for a cockpit and the landing gear is somewhat underdetailed.
February 1, 2025 at 9:22 PM
And some more Gunpla has been built. This time it's the HG Zeong.
December 15, 2024 at 5:56 PM
I upgraded my old Gameboy. It's 30 years old so just about due for it. New screen and a transparent shell, but the guts outside of that are all still original.

Heck, even at regular prices it's totally worth it, this just makes it even better.
