That looks great Dave. To think that just a few years ago, that level of detail would have required an AM cockpit set. Carl

That's a lot of tiny decals. The results say it's worth the effort though.

Amazing attention to detail. Then again we wouldn't expect anything less from one of your builds. Carl

So Taipei has a Pokemon centre, one of only two outside Japan. It becomes a must visit for my son and a couple of his cousins so off we went. While there, I noticed next door was a Godzilla Store. So I spent some time in there. Saw this figure and wanted to pick it up. Sadly I figured he might be a bit big for my carry on suitcase so I had to pass.

Well, it's been 2026 for a few hours now here in Taipei so I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy 2026! Here's to lots of plastic (or resin) to fondle, bench time as much as we want (or can stand) and all the new releases you could hope for. More importantly, I hope everyone has a great year away from the bench as well. Some folks have had a challenging 2025 and I wish 2026 goes better for everyone. Carl. PS- obligatory fireworks photos to celebrate. This is Taipei 101.

Mecha squirrel! Didn't get this one as it's too big to fit in my suitcase so settled for a smaller version.

So truly sorry to hear that Hubert. Our deepest condolences to you and Antoine's family. Carl

Hubert, I'm so sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Carl

Merry Christmas everyone!

Looks fabulous there Martin. Thanks for not blaming me.

The engine looks really good there Rob. The finish on the gearbox is particularly convincing. Too bad Zero paints aren't available in Canada.

I was wondering about the blue when you mentioned it was the Toyota Tom's kit. Are you going to do the body in blue as well? That would be a different paint scheme that's for sure.

Mr Surfacer in jars is much easier to find in Canada. There's also Aqueous Mr Surfacer which I have used and not really noticed any differences in. Another good option is to check out some of the Gundam stores for stock. They tend to carry a fair bit of Gunze/Mr Color products.

It's really looking spectacular.

Looking really good there Martin.
