Design Changes

In from a design prospective there aren’t a whole lot of differences between the Ver Ka release and the new OVA. Surprisingly the OVA release comes with the exactly same runners as the Ver Ka. The new parts come on two small additional runners. Apparently it was cheaper for Bandai to keep the same molds and include the extra runners. read more

Banshee WIP: Day 3

JDW_8652

Some more progress today.

Lessons learned so far? Resin fucking sucks. Despite a good cleaning my primer acted completely different to resin than it does normal plastic. It also has the tendency to randomly break, as you’ll see when I post close up shots.

Banshee WIP: Day 1

Behold, the first work in progress shot of my MG Banshee.

So far things are going okay. Although the paint I’m using does a good job of exposing all the little flaws from failed sanding attempts. Plus I’m almost out. Already.

What we have here is Bandai’s 1/48 scale Mega Size Model Gundam RX-78-2. As far as I know it’s Bandai’s largest general release kit. At 15″ tall it dwarfs even Perfect Grade kits.

The Importance of Salt with Alton Brown

Recently some jackass has decided to try and regulate salt usage in NYC restaurants. Strike that, he wants an outright ban on salt.

In light of his ignorance I think it’s right to take some time and remember the importance of salt. Who better to do that than everyone’s favorite, Alton Brown.

Note, I didn’t encode this videos and upload ’em to YouTube. Don’t blame me for the shitty video quality or odd FOX theme at the beginning of some.

Unicorn Gundam Decals, Damn You Globaltoy

I ordered some grey Unicorn Gundam decals for use on my upcoming Banshee conversion. They’ve arrived, and I’m not happy.

This is the image used by the eBay seller,

This is closer to the actual color,

Completely different colors, won’t go with my color scheme at all. Fucking hell, they’d better refund my money.
