Here we go, boys and girls. Time to get working on the Most Awesome Haro Ever. #gunpla #plamo #ガンプラ #プラモ Image
Progress. Torso’s a little tight, so have to figure that out. Probably need to use some putty to fill in a few voids. But pleasantly surprised that the rear vernier has some articulation. #gunpla #plamo #ガンプラ #プラモ ImageImage
Added some panel lines. Some were more successful than others but I can live with the result overall. #gunpla #plamo #ガンプラ #プラモ ImageImageImage
Progress. Haro’s fully painted and I could assemble it if I wanted. Everything else is primed already. Gonna be working with metallics, so this might take a while. #ガンプラ #プラモ #gunpla #plamo Image
Exactly twenty pieces left to detail. #ガンプラわ #プラモわ #gunpla #plamo ImageImage
And for my next trick: final assembly. #ガンプラ #プラモ #gunpla #plamo ImageImageImageImage
For the record: the main body armor is a mix of light ghost gray and deep blue, IIRC at 4:1. #ガンプラ #プラモ #gunpla #plamo Image
Here’s everything that went into the kit. Once completed you end up with a spare set of parts: a pair of hands plus a vernier asembly. Not bad! #ガンプラ #プラモ #gunpla #plamo ImageImage
Most. Awesome. Haro. Ever. #ガンプラ #プラモ #gunpla #plamo ImageImageImageImage
More than a Haro, less than a Mobile Suit. #ガンプラ #プラモ #gunpla #plamo ImageImageImageImage
モビルハロ "インペルフェクチィビリチェ" (“Imperfectibility”)を 完成しました!

(ペルフェクトじゃないから名前は "インペルフェクチィビリチェ" です。でもまだとても素晴らしい!)

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

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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.
