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
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
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
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
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
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.

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.
I was pretty zen about being put on hold on the phone by my bank.
And then they asked me identity verification questions that I didn’t know off the top of my head.
AND THEN the line went busy and I got cut off from the call.
I’d say it’s time to switch banks.
The process is all about what’s convenient for the bank, not the customer:
- Kept me on hold.
- Asked what my credit limit is (I don’t spend a lot and don’t breach it, so it’s not top of mind).
- Asked for personal info that isn’t top of mind (SSN or TIN).
For the record, I knew my TIN. But how likely is it for anyone to be in a position to recite theirs from memory?
Besides…to get to THAT POINT, I already keyed in the OTP sent to my mobile phone. So what the f*ck was the point of that if it’s not good enough to transact?
