The next project. Like a friend of mine said: it’s all about rebuilding our youth. #プラモ #タイムボカン

Looks simple enough: three main runners, a small runner of clear parts, a bunch of runners for the wheels (with matching rubber treads!), and this beautiful sheet of decals that I hope survives the experience. #プラモ #タイムボカン

It’s smaller than I thought it’d be (HG Leo for scale), but still cute as heck. Gotta clean it up some before I paint it. #プラモ #タイムボカン

I painted a bug this morning. #プラモ #タイムボカン

Just have to doll up the clear parts. Then it’s done! #プラモ #タイムボカン

Everything’s painted. Up next: final assembly. #プラモ #タイムボカ

タイムメカブトン。#プラモ #タイムボカン

タイムメカブトン (オープンシェル)。#プラモ #タイムボカン

タイムメカブトン (翼)。#プラモ #タイムボカン

テントウキです！#プラモ #タイムボカン

やった！1/100 タイムメカブトン完成しました。#プラモ #タイムボカン

The next project. My daughter did the snap build; I’ll work on the finish. #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

“Some assembly required.”

Done with painting prep. Tried to clean up a bunch of seamlines, but the oddly shaped pieces were challenging.

There’s always a tradeoff between effort and the size/nature of the kit. I went for “enough”.

#ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

Primed the orange and yellow pieces with red primer, and the white pieces with the usual grey primer.

White’s always challenging to paint, so I’ll be testing out some new white paint (Armored Komodo Ink) on this kit.

The next hobby project. Gonna be a slow burn (no pun intended). #プラモ #ガッチャマン #plamo #Gatchaman #GForce

This is my first time working on an Academy kit and I’m not confident I can snap build prior to painting it.

Looks like the best approach would be to paint all the pieces then jump straight to final assembly.

Gonna be a trip!

#プラモ #ガッチャマン #plamo #Gatchaman #GForce

Been a while, but now got my hobby gear out of storage and worked on the kit I started a year ago.

Applied some primer to all the red parts; easing my way back into the process.

Hope to try out new paints come the weekend. #プラモ #ガッチャマン #plamo #Gatchaman #GForce

I had other plans, but my daughter walked into the room asking “Can we work on Charmander now?” so of course we’re working on Charmander now.

#ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

This one’s gonna need a bit of a think. Looks like I can erase the seams other than the arms. Fun little challenge; will get to it after I restock on some paint.

#ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

All I can say is that it’s part of the process.

Also, some mistakes were made. Maybe.

Gonna see if I can turn this into something worth entering into this year’s GBWC. #ガンダム #ガンプラ #プラモ #gundam #gunpla #plamo

The best thing about these HGBD Core + [Unit] kits is that you’ll end up assembling the Core Gundam well before you’re done with the rest of the kit.

And then you’ll get sidetracked giving it all kinds of poses. #ガンダム #ガンプラ #プラモ #gundam #gunpla #plamo

Here’s the OOB snap build shot.

Built an Earthree before so I’d like to doll up the Veetwo to match. That means a fair bit of scribing and masking while I sort out my concept.

(That Core Gundam sure can balance!)

Looks like we chose you, Bulbasaur. #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

There it is, OOB. Feels like the easiest Pokémon Quick kit we’ve built yet.

Should be straightforward to paint with some masking involved. There are also seams I’d like to erase on the larger pieces. #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

Trying out some shading. #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

Up next: a robot cat from the future. #ドラえもん #プラモ #doraemon #plamo

There it is, OOB. A good looking Entry Grade a child can put together (took my daughter less than ten minutes).

Easy enough to erase the seamline on the head, but there’s one on the body I might have to leave be.
