My high grade Aerial is finally complete. I thought this was going to be a casual build, but I ended up breaking out the paints for a few parts. The color accents included in the SIMP decal set turned out nice.

I put the final top coat on the real grade Astray Red Frame today. Although I kept this gunpla build simple and clean, I still enjoyed making it my own with decal choices and some painted details. I also broke my first V-fin… twice.

My eighth and ninth Gunpla are complete. I had dismissed the idea of building SD kits due to all the stickers. My wife picked these up because they were cute. They were good for airbrush practice and, of course, she was right. They are cute. I keep the Aile Strike on my desk.

I recently completed my very first Gunpla, a high grade RX-78GP01. I color corrected a few bits with paint, added decals, and weathered it. It was a much needed exercise in patience and I am ready to start my next one.

After several weeks of incessant pixel pushing, I might finally be getting comfortable with the new design for my personal site.

I spent the afternoon updating the design of the website for my hockey team so that it resembles our new white jersey. I also added a simple dark mode scheme.

With Twitter crumbling, I’ve been exploring other options for connecting and sharing. I don’t know where I’ll land, but I definitely respect the Micro.blog approach.
