I spent high school LANs being a bottomfeeder because I was late to the FPS party on account of being poor as dirt. We had a big reunion LAN a couple years after graduation and DM-Rankin in UT2K4 is where I got to demonstrate all the training I'd been doing. So I'll always remember it for that.

I have no idea if I'm playing Cicadamata correctly but I'm having a good time. I get why scoring-wise they want you to do more than just oneshot the enemies, but I want to go fast.

I check the page for these once every couple of months to see if anything new showed up and I yelled OH SHIT out loud. Must have missed whenever this got announced. Hope it doesn't take years for Rein Weissritter this time.

And that's all of them packed, honestly this was one of the aspects of moving stressing me out the most but it only took a few hours. Here's a smattering of pointy bits I removed since I was concerned about breakage, and have since packed them very carefully in some bubble wrap.

Ahead of my imminent move I'm going to pack up all my most fragile/valuable items first and store them at a relative's - first time packing gunpla for transport. This seems fine if not overkill for a long car ride. No need to take off Vidar's fin but Barbatos definitely. It needs a repaint anyways.

I was gifted a box of these 'Sembo Block' gunpla-like dudes that come in blind boxes. I combined a couple of my dupes because I thought it'd look cool and I like how it turned out. Apparently these are based on Honor of Kings (the MOBA)? Last I checked that wasn't a mecha game, but what do I know.

A couple of Sembo Block gunpla-esque blind box models that you have to assemble yourself. I combined a few of them to create the one on the right with gold highlights from a different variant.

A few Sembo Block blind box models. One on the left is a clear color variant of the one in the middle.

A few more Sembo Block blind box models. The guy in the middle has a rare variant with a special coating but I didn't end up getting that one.

Been working on this whenever I get a chance but nightmare landlord situation making it tough. It's very cool though and the manual was a pleasant surprise, it's very clear thanks to the color coding and feels like a high quality magazine. Love the internal mechanics and fake hydraulics.

Wasn't sure how panel lining the wings would go but I like how they turned out. The gun hands are pretty cantankerous and I don't want to futz with them too much, though.

MG Wing Gundam Zero Ver.Ka Completed 2026-06-14 Painted the yellow bits gold as per usual. It has some really cool mechanics and lots of freedom to pose the wings. Looks amazing on the shelf that's for sure.

Oh boy here we go. If you don't count the Fat Cat this is my first time venturing outside Bandai but it is so cool I had to get it. I'll probably start it next once I finish my current one.

So many decals, lol. One more session and I should definitely be done, though.

My trip was originally planned for 2023 and got pushed back to 2024 - I was sad that I just barely missed the one in Yokohama, but I did get to see the Unicorn. I stepped out of the mall just as it did the whole transformation routine at night.

Mupod@mupod· May 26

That's all the building done. I wasn't sure how the panel lining on the wings was going to go but pretty happy how it turned out. Still decals to do, but I think splitting up that job between the main body and this stuff was the right call.

Back home from visiting family and definitely got the model building motivation back. Finished the main body and started doing decals now instead of all at the end. I'll finish those up before I move on to the weapon, shield and wings.

Coming along nicely. Thinking about it, I usually do my decals all at once at the end but this one's decal sheet is...a lot. I might mix it up a bit. Also looking ahead a bit it seems like it will be very easy to mask or just remove the bits I painted gold when I topcoat it, so that's nice.

Haven't done an MG in a while and starting to get annoyed by the conspicuous Wing Zero-sized space in my display next to Tallgeese. Time to get this one out of the backlog.

HG RGM-86R GMIII Completed 2026-05-05 Little bonus I built since my airbrushing area was temporarily unavailable after I finished Epyon. Not big on color correcting stickers and probably should've left them off, but I like how chonky it is. Threw on some leftover decals from other kits.

By the way, turns out you can use a hobby vice for all sorts of things:

RG Gundam Epyon Completed 2026-05-05 I started this one in December, but we got there eventually. Mostly my standard stuff - painted a few pieces gold, water decals, flat topcoat. Left the green stickers off because there's some light piping back there which lets you goof off with UV lights.

Psycho Patrol R has some good ones

"Added bullet time effect to cocaine. The effect is stronger with bigger doses."

"Replaced reference to Ohio with a reference to Michigan. This was due to skibidi rizzoid zoomers thinking it was a meme of some sort. You can't let these people win."

"Falling asleep mid-jump will no longer launch you to space."

All right, time to get back to building - RG Epyon is done, just waiting to be able to use my airbrush again. To get back into the swing of things I'm putting together the RGM-86R GMIII, which was gifted to me. Don't have much attachment to ZZ but I do like the design. Nice easy breezy HG so far.

I once sent a microscopic piece of an RG flying and I'd just about given up on finding it. I found it in a damn spiderweb behind the desk

Most HGs are 1/144 scale, the Psycho Gundam is just huge. The MG Sazabi also dwarfs other 1/100 gunpla.

At some point I started associating having streamers on in the background while building, but everyone I watch during my after-work time slot either took a break or went to MAGfest. But yeah, I finally had the inclination to put some more work into Epyon. Parts got a little dusty again...
