Alright. Time for something…different. #プラモ #plamo

Gonna think long and hard about painting this kit. The printed details will be hard to match, even with the accompanying decals. #プラモ #plamo

WIP. This is as far as I got today. #プラモ #plamo

Easing back into hobby mode. #プラモ #ポケモン #plamo #pokemon

There. Looks simple enough. Just a few seams to cleanup on the body, but everything else looks straightforward.

I am gonna turn it either red or pink before I make it yellow, though. #プラモ #ポケモン #plamo #pokemon

In general, I think of working on these Pokemon Quick!! Collection kits as practice for removing seams. Think I did a decent job on this one. #プラモ #ポケモン #plamo #pokemon

Was cleaning out my phone’s camera roll and realized I had a few WIP shots of the HMM Blade Liger I forgot to share. So here they are for posterity.

First, head and Zoid core. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Next: front third of the torso. It’s got this articulation gimmick that allows you to extend the boosters beneath the armor piece.

The tubing is actually bare plastic on which I applied a good topcoat then a black panel wash. Came out great.

The middle third of the torso’s where you find the articulating pieces on which to attach the Liger’s blades and AB boosters. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Ever just wake up and tell yourself, “I’d really like to start building a Liger today”? #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Liger project got sidetracked; been busy this week. It’s just as well as there’s a lot of kit to work on (there’s actually a divider in the box).

Still test fitting, but I think I have to paint and assemble parts by section to get it done. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

WIP: Snap fit of the head assembly (sans canopy). Looks so good. Now to figure out how to paint it. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Back at it. #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

Eleven minutes later… #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

Of the Pokemon Quick kits I’ve worked on the seamlines on Mew are going to take some work. Can live with the arms; it’s the neck and ankles that are problematic. Don’t know if I’ll be able to hide them. #ポケモン #プラモ #pokemon #plamo

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

I. Am. Excite!!! #gunpla #plamo #ガンプラ #プラモ

Of course my daughter decided that the next #Pokemon we should build is Jigglypuff. #plamo #プラモ #ポケモン

This will never not be weird. #plamo #pokemon #プラモ #ポケモン

次のプロジェクトはまたタイムボカン。来週に始まって作りましょう。#プラモ #タイムボカン

This may very well be the first time I’ve come across a runner with clear parts that you’re supposed to paint with non-clear paint.

(I love clear parts and am very conflicted about this.)

#プラモ #タイムボカン

Head and torso assembly’s gonna be challenging.

Some questionable engineering to accommodate gimmicks in the head.

Then it’s a very tight fit to snap the torso in place. Also gonna have to accept a seamline on the underbelly. #プラモ #タイムボカン

Wanted something easy for my next build. So. #プラモ #ポケモン

There we go. Didn’t apply the stickers since I plan to paint it.

Two runners, twelve pieces; really lives up to the promise of a quick build.

My daughter was the one who did the assembly (of course) and would like everyone to know this Pokemon is A GIRL. #プラモ #ポケモン

NGL, that’s a little freaky. ＃プラモ＃ポケモン

I guess it’s as good a time as any to ask: Do You Remember Love? #マクロス #プラモ #DYRL

This is as far as I took it today. Have to take my time removing seam lines.

Oh, and those panel lines? Hopefully a few survive when I get around to painting the kit. #マクロス #プラモ #DYRL

Progress? Well, I painted and assembled the pilot’s chair. Should count for something. #マクロス #プラモ #DYRL

The next project. Like a friend of mine said: it’s all about rebuilding our youth. #プラモ #タイムボカン

Looks simple enough: three main runners, a small runner of clear parts, a bunch of runners for the wheels (with matching rubber treads!), and this beautiful sheet of decals that I hope survives the experience. #プラモ #タイムボカン

It’s smaller than I thought it’d be (HG Leo for scale), but still cute as heck. Gotta clean it up some before I paint it. #プラモ #タイムボカン
