It's been a busy year for me and I've tended to try to spend my time building instead of posting on the internet so I put something up on my site and then think, next time I'm online I'll link it up on the forums but that hasn't really happened. It's been about a year since I put my Hasegawa Valkyrie aside and got sucked into several projects involving either our local Those Gundam Guys group/club/thing as well as some local Gundam-oriented businesses. The Valkyrie is finally back on the bench and I'm finally making time to post.

So, in order...

Here's my gallery gateway for my 1/6 of our Gundam Guys GM Assault Diorama:

Here's another group project, repainting a 1/12 Unicorn Gundam statue created by Bandai, which made the rounds last year at the Anime conventions, but will be looking a LOT better this year:

Next I built a 1/48 Mega Size Zaku for Robot4Less (http://robot4less.com/) which has their physical store less than a mile from my house (and is AWESOME... Gunpla heaven!  Big Grin):

Finally, I just completed Airfix's little1/72 Spitfire Mk. IIa:

Those all look great, but I really love the detail on the Unicorn Gundam. How talls is that in 1/12? Must be biggish?

WOW Funaka!  How do you have all this time to build models?  Are you a professional?  I'm lucky if I get a couple of hours a week... Sad  Anyway nice work there.  The finish on that Zaku looks perfect!

Well, I'm 6'3" tall and when I'm standing on the palette with it I'm looking at it's chin more or less. Tops of the beam sabers have to be about 7 feet up.
