Taking a break…
Currently working on the MG wing zero ver.ka and the waterslides are a pain in the ass, the first few I did were fine, all of them I try now though stay for around 24 hours then flake off. I’ll probably look into getting some tamiya setter/softener since I’ve read that works, but for now I think I’ll just carefully put the parts in the box,(wrapping the completed parts in paper towels to keep the good waterslides safe) and set it back in the backlog pile.

Just Some New Builds: [HGBF Hi Nu vRABE] and [HGUC RX-178 Gundam (A.E.U.G)]
I finally finished both these kits after a long long time on hold, now you might be thinking, what's up with the Kratos-looking stripe down the RX-178's face, well you see, not too long ago, I broke my MG 1/100 Barbatos, and there were a lot of decals I didnt apply back then, so I took all of them, and turned RX-178, into a Sticker-bomb masterpiece, I did add some extra decals to the Hi-Nu just for aesthetics and for filling up empty space, but yeah, I didn't panel line either of these kits, in fact, I've never panel lined before, so, advice is very much appreciated. Hope you like the pics, (sorry they're kinda shitty, I took the pics on a Google Pixel 8a)

GBWC 2024 Canada Entry - 🪿
After about 8 months of work off and on - my GWBC 2024 entry is finally submitted. I love the Tallgeese and I've always wanted to make my own version of it. So.. with the help of an Ariel Gundam (Needed some big thighs!) a couple GP03, a Tallgeese, a Zaku Gunner and a Reginlaze Julia I kit bashed together this thing... Then decided to try my hand at sculpting and made a base out of air dry clay for it.... and then after airbrushing the base colours (black and white) I decided it would be a good idea to go back and hand paint the entire thing...panel by panel. Was it a good idea? We'll see!
