Yes, fingers crossed.

🎉Tthat’s super generous. I broke down and had a big chunk of my PW from HLJ shipped. This is what I had to pay. 😳 And that’s for the “Small Pack” cheap option.

@tekering well it sure came out great and sounds like you have plenty of future plans for it. 👍

Wow. That’s outstanding! Is it for your personal collection or a commission piece?

Good luck on dialing in that red. I’m super excited to see this come together. Also…does PE play well with lacquers? I have never seen PE or handled it before firsthand.

So I was taking a look in my photos from this year and I have over 20 builds! That’s way too many to share. Here are a few I am proud of. In 2026 I want to slow down on my output and make my building more refined and raise the bar for myself on quality not quantity. *looks like I’m a huge FSS fanboy. 😊

😳 you are all set! Wow

@electric indigo ✌️that’s a good looking year no doubt. I like the idea of a recap and might post my output too later today. One of my goals this year is to finally purchase a resin kit and will reach out to you for some sage advice. @ThomLooking good. I’m excited to see how the yellow turns out. I have had great results with clear MR color on clear parts.

Hahaha thanks

Thanks so much for the info. That’s really cool!

Hahahaha

Also has some nice details rarely seen. NSFW

I don’t know what that stuff is but I love it. 😍

@Urashiman those both came out great! @Big s I agree. It’s very regal indeed. In the Manga the Vaiola is not destroyed during the confrontation with the Terror Mirage, but rather captured since it was one of a kind and viewed as important to save intact.

Recently finished up this build “Volks IMS 1/100 Vaiola” for a FSS discord contest happening in Jan. I am not a photographer by any means but did my best to take a few phone camera shots that looked alright. Here are just a few. The build was fun and working on a larger scale went better than I had expected. (=

@wm cheng Wow, that’s outstanding! Thanks for sharing. @Urashiman Thanks. I’m excited to see it finished.

Looking great! How are you handling seam lines or are they placed in inconspicuous places?

Digging these little details. Color separation via the plastic is not so important to me but having them separate parts makes painting smooth and easy.

Congrats. It’s so nice having a partner that knows what you like and can still surprise you. 👍

It’s nice to see pilots included in these kits!

On the floor next to the bench. I guess I was good this year. My mother-in-law got me a display cabinet for my builds. It’s sooo thoughtful. Now I get to take some of my favorites out of their boxes to display. Should be inspiring and also show me a fun timeline of where I started and where I’m at now. ok…time to build.

It’s cool to see them tweet things. I’m super excited to see this “straight” build. Or I guess no paint build

@derex3592Wow. That’s wild.

Go for it!

Very cool!
