Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV

@nightmareB4macross I still can't get over that you made those hands. Those are some of the best mods ever.

@Thom HAHA. Kit”s” is right. Very nice. 
@nightmareB4macross echoing what Thom said, I’m really digging the hands. 👍

 

Sometimes the strangest things show up at the bench. This was my dessert after dinner. Ice cream would have been nice, but you work with what ya got. This was such a fun chunk of a build.  I’m excited to paint this sucker.
It was cool that the instructions included comparisons between the OG release and all the new technologies that went into this “revival” version. A lot has changed in 45 years.

Hahaha. 😂 I find the thick clunky style of the older kits so endearing.  It’s fun to see it reappear more refined.

If I didn’t know any better, I would say you are hitting on me.

I'm sometimes working on this Dirty Pair garage kit I bought at Wonder Festival in Chiba about 10 years ago. The last time I touched this was in 2021 I think. Now I've done a dry fit to test it out. Just using pins and blue tack to keep it together.

The guy who made this kit also made other Lovely Angel kits, as well as Zentraedi and Meltrandi fleet ships. He introduced me to the head of Studio Nue... I forget his name because I am apparently not a big enough fan. IIRC, I think he told me that Kei's character was sort of inspired by his wife. Don't quote me on that.

I don’t know if any Valkyrie manufacturer is ready for this. 😜
