The best Bandai kit ever made finally landed at my house today: Yes, it is indeed a 1:1 scale model of a sealed Cup Noodle. I love the warning labels — “don’t eat this,” of course, but also “don’t pour hot water into me.” I also love that it’s not in any way a Gundam […]

I picked up the HG MomoKapool kit as a break from more complex Gunpla (at the time, MG Astray Red Frame Kai) and painting (at the time, Sternguard Veterans and a Chaplain for my Blood Angels 40k army), and it was just what the doctor ordered. One hour and a couple minutes to go from

I knocked out two more Terminators today but got a bit frustrated with one of them (I didn’t feel like my paint job was up to snuff, but pushed ahead anyway), so I figured it was time for a palate cleanser: assembling space dwarves! Gunpla detour Fortunately, I already own the tools for this because
