Your friendly neighborhood geek. 😄 I’m a big Star Wars and Disney fan, but also like collecting trading cards, Transformers, building Gunpla, and photography. Feel free to follow me or say hi. 😄 I also like to draw, as well. :)

Here are better shots of the P-Bandai HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam Spec II (Final Battle Image Color) that I took. 😄 The articulation on this thing is absolutely stellar, and the accessories gives this kit a pretty wide range of display options. 😄 #Gunpla

I finished the HG 1/144 Kabakali today, and I have to say, it’s a very interesting kit! The color separation is really good on this kit, and even if you skip what little paint work is needed, it still looks really good! 😄 #Gunpla

I also got the HG 1/144 Bocata’s Gelgoog (GQ) done recently. 🙂 I had most of the panel lining and paint work on this kit done when the Destiny Gundam Spec II arrived, so I held off on building this one until after I finished the Destiny. 🙂 #Gunpla

Got the HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam Spec II (Final Battle Image Color) all put together (sorry for the poor lighting 😅). :) between panel lining, apply stickers, touch up paint, and assembly, this build took me about four days. 🙂 More pictures coming soon! 😄 #Gunpla

I don’t order kits directly from P-Bandai too often, but every now and then, they come out with something I just gotta have. 😄 #Gunpla

I put together the Blokees Champion Class Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime, and this may be one of the most highly articulated Champion Class Transformers kits that Blokees has released yet! 🤩 Definitely worth buying! 😄 #Blokees

Okay, when were you guys going to tell me I could upload more than 4 pictures at a time?! 😆 Anyway, here are some better pictures of the HG 1/144 Gouf Ignited (Heine Westenfluss Custom). 😄 #Gunpla

Blokees recently released the Champion Classic Bumblebee movie Bumblebee, and I had to have him. 😂 Small and cute, just like you’d expect from this version of Bumblebee. 😄 Very quick and easy to assemble, and includes his battle mask, blaster, and blades. 😄 #Blokees

I finished building the new HG 1/144 Gouf Ignited [Heine Westenfluss Custom], and this thing is AWESOME! 🤩 The color separation is almost perfect, and the entire kit only uses five sticker decals. The way the shoulders are designed makes them a bit tight, but other than that, WOW! 🤩 #Gunpla

I finished putting together the HG 1/144 Altron Gundam. 🙂 I found it at my local Target last week, and decided “Eh, why not?”. There’s a tiny bit of paintwork needed on this kit, but most of the color separation is actually pretty good! 🙂 #Gunpla

Finally got around to taking some pictures of the HG 1/144 GQuuuuuuX (Endymion Unit Awakened), and this thing is awesome! 😄 I had to do quite a bit of paintwork on it, but I enjoy it, so it’s no biggie. Definitely a must have kit if you’re a big fan of the GQuuuuuuX. 😄 #Gunpla

Made a stop at one of my local hobby shops today, and I never get tired of going there. 😄 If you’re ever in the Burbank area, I highly recommend checking out Burbank’s House of Hobbies. 🙂 They have tons of Gunpla, as well other various kinds of plastic models and supplies. 😄

Here’s the finished head and torso for the MG 1/100 Gundam AGE-2 Normal. 🙂 I’m not going to use the included marking decals on this kit because I honestly find thrm very minimalistic compared to other MG kit marking decals. #Gunpla

Now working on what will be my 50th Master Grade kit, and this one has one of the most interesting cockpit gimmicks I’ve seen in a while. Most MG cockpits just open so you can see the pilot, but this one actually lowers the pilot seat out from the cockpit! 😃 #Gunpla

I recently built the HG 1/144 Hambrabi (GQ), and I have to say, this may be one of the most unique HG kits that I’ve built all year. It uses some really interesting techniques and engineering for the build. And honestly, it’s pretty cool! 🙂 #Gunpla

After a good three days of painting parts, I finally started putting together the HG 1/144 GQuuuuuuX [Endymion Unit Awakened]. 🙂 I accidentally messed up the sticker for the head camera, so I actually had to paint that. #Gunpla

I got another Gundam booster box recently. :) This time, I went with the Phantom Aria set. I didn’t get as many hits as I did in the Freedom Ascension box, but I did pull most of the cards that I was after in this set, so yay! 😄 #GundamCardGame

Getting ready to get started on my 50th Master Grade kit! #Gunpla
August 4, 2026 at 2:43 AM
I finally caved and bought a booster box of the Gundam trading cards, and honestly, these things are really cool! I got some pretty cool kits, too! 😄 #GundamCardGame

I finished working on the MG Gundam X, and I have to say, this is a great kit! It’s a major improvement over the HG version, and the engineering holds up pretty well against modern MG kits. 🙂 #Gunpla

I finished the HG 1/144 Gundam Barbatos Adapt, and I have mixed feelings on it. It’s a pretty cool looking kit, but I really don’t like the color correcting stickers on this one. They don’t look bad, they’re just annoying to apply on this one. #Gunpla
July 28, 2026 at 7:50 PM
I finished the MG 1/100 Gundam X, and honestly, it looks really good! Pretty much everything that was done wrong with the HG version was fixed with the MG version. More pictures coming soon, but I definitely recommend this one over the HG version. 😄 #Gunpla

I’ve been kind of out of it for the past couple of months. I think part of it was because my cat was dying, and I was internalizing so much of my fear and stress. It’s taken a lot out of me lately doing my usual posts because I feel like I’m forcing myself to speak when I’m not quite ready to.

Here are a few pictures of the P-Bandai exclusive RG 1/144 Tallgeese II all put together. 😄 I honestly love how this kit turned out! #Gunpla

Here’s the other Metal Cardbot that I got, Red Blitz. 😄 The articulation on this figure is a bit more limited compared to Tachy, but he’s still really fun to transform and pose. #MetalCardbot #RedBlitz
