次のプロジェクトはまたタイムボカン。来週に始まって作りましょう。#プラモ #タイムボカン

This may very well be the first time I’ve come across a runner with clear parts that you’re supposed to paint with non-clear paint.

(I love clear parts and am very conflicted about this.)

#プラモ #タイムボカン

Head and torso assembly’s gonna be challenging.

Some questionable engineering to accommodate gimmicks in the head.

Then it’s a very tight fit to snap the torso in place. Also gonna have to accept a seamline on the underbelly. #プラモ #タイムボカン

Wanted something easy for my next build. So. #プラモ #ポケモン

There we go. Didn’t apply the stickers since I plan to paint it.

Two runners, twelve pieces; really lives up to the promise of a quick build.

My daughter was the one who did the assembly (of course) and would like everyone to know this Pokemon is A GIRL. #プラモ #ポケモン

NGL, that’s a little freaky. ＃プラモ＃ポケモン

I guess it’s as good a time as any to ask: Do You Remember Love? #マクロス #プラモ #DYRL

This is as far as I took it today. Have to take my time removing seam lines.

Oh, and those panel lines? Hopefully a few survive when I get around to painting the kit. #マクロス #プラモ #DYRL

Progress? Well, I painted and assembled the pilot’s chair. Should count for something. #マクロス #プラモ #DYRL

これは次のプラモでしょう。楽しみ！#ガンプラ

And there’s the snap build. Gotta rethink a couple of things I had in mind for this kit before I start prepping it for paint. #ガンプラ

I decided to work on the GM Striker because I wanted a quick build.

And then I started scribing. #ガンプラ

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

One of the more bizarre talking points I’ve come across in the pro-Marcos echo chamber is that the family never stole a centavo of public money. If so, where’s the conviction? they ask.

I find this really strange for a number of reasons. 1/x

To begin with, aren’t you scraping the bottom of the barrel if the best argument you can offer is “Yes, but has s/he ever been convicted?” #justsaying 2/x

So much of the Marcos wealth has been ruled as ill-gotten and returned to the Philippine government. (There are some who will split hairs that ill-gotten is not the same as stolen, but for all intents and purposes the two are one and the same to the man on the street.) 3/x
