Bees feasting on my plum and apricot blossoms! And a bumble bee with its tongue out drinking nectar.
So I got a tattoo! My very first. It’s a brick and it has a symbolic meaning of being all that remains of the brick wall I used to keep around myself. I’m so happy that wall is now gone. It represents freedom and will always be a reminder to never allow myself to be hidden from the world.
My finished RG Sazabi! Painted with Oden Kan and Mr Color lacquers. Kind of a difficult build, especially the assembly. I made many mistakes and had to take it apart. Glad it’s done! #gunpla
My RG Sazabi build in the final stages. I just did a lacquer satin coat to unify the decals. Should I keep it as is, or do an ultra matte? #gunpla
Some previews of my latest project. Trying to get it finished before 2026 rolls in. It’s looking great so far. And OMG so many decals. I swear the decals took like 10-15 hours.
My highlights for 2025. What a great year it’s been, I’m so grateful. I’m really happy to think about all the fun stuff I’m gonna paint in 2026!
RG Sazabi WIP. ⚠️ very pleased with it so far. But so much to do yet. I hope to have a lot of time devoted to finishing it over the holidays and have it be my final build of 2025. 😊
This oddball Mecha from Armored Battalion Dorvack. Totally boring anime, but it had some very interesting robots! Painted this all with Mr Hobby lacquers. I’m not sure what the point of lacquers is? So they endure handling better than acrylic? Or is it a Japanese thing? At any rate, hope u enjoy! 😊
The nozzle of my harder and steenbeck airbrush sure resembles a evil building in a popular fantasy movie. 🤭
MG Rick Dom. Nearly completed! Should I do a bit of weathering, or keep it clean? #gunpla #gundam #scalemodel
This Disk Hound thing from an old anime called Crusher Joe. Not a very popular movie, but it had some really interesting model kits. #anime #gunpla #diorama #scalemodel
Some details on my MG Zaku II. Painted with Vallejo acrylics. I really loved building this one. #gunpla #gundam #scalemodel
Just cleaned, dusted and installed new LED lighting in my display cabinets! It looks so much better now. #gunpla
Some recent work on a MG Rick Dom kit. I tried something experimental this time by dabbing on artists oil paint over acrylic I had airbrushed. I’m trying to get a really nasty, mottled texture. I feel like I kind of did that, but the oils take a very long time to properly dry. #gunpla
