My father and I blasted many of his models to smithereens with a high-power pellet gun...now I have plenty of real firearms, so if anything catches my ire, it'll be disposed of good and proper.

Japan seems to still be in the throws that Germany and other countries used to be in - lands of 100% dedication and craftsmanship.  Germany is slowly moving out of it, but Japan strikes me as continuing the traditions.  I have to admit the kits/toys/models I've received lately (outside of Gashapon) are quite freakin' good.

Particularly when you realize the Nichimo kits are all re-prints of a 30 year old mold.  Not too shabby.

With some Monsters on the way for UN Spacy, I just picked up this 1/720 Quel-Quallie or Bug-Eye "Cyclops" recon ship.  I only found one scaled picture, and it looked to be quite large (which would make the 1/720 incorrect).  Either way,if it scales nicely enough, the Zentraedi now have a large mecha for scenarios.  If not, I'll sell it off on ebay.



I didn't know they even made them until recently...

I almost forgot about the hairspray flamethower vs model kit. (it was the 80's everyone had spray)   

Looks like the Gundam craze is catching. My Dad wants one for his birthday. Was telling him about the quality of the engineering and as an engineer himself it was too tempting for him to not have one of his own. The upside is now my neice can build hers with Grandpa while he builds his. Love it when a plan comes together!

And it will stop him playing C&C III on his computer which revs his heart up too much with all the adrenaline. If he has a heart attack at work and pops his clogs they will be at a loose end explaining why one of their cheif engineers had death by RTS when he should of been doing R&D.

Got another pack of Kaiyodo Gashapon models today...did a little bit of messing around with them.  Built up some of the Guardians/Gerwalks.  Tonight's goal: Spartans and Battlepods!

Ooooooh, nice! Looks terrific! How big are those bases?

Simpler joys of the 1970s: set light to model aeroplanes and throw them out of an upstairs window.  "He's been shot down in flames!"

Those look great!

Bases are 60mm mdf circles.  I have a buddy who has a laser shop, so I just hit him up with dimensions.  I guessed correctly it seems, as all of my models fit reasonable well so far.

I have some Heavy Artillery Pods and Spartan Destroids I just primed - hoping to have them started by tonight.  I'm very pleased so far.  I have a massive amount of models sitting in the wings waiting to be assembled.  With the 3d models from Mpenock, I'll have an almost 100% lineup for the entire Macross saga.
