There’s a bit of a story behind my most recent HLJ purchase…
I’m a member of a local modeling club. If you’re seriously interested in model-building I highly recommend finding your local IPMS club and joining up. But anyway…
It should be noted that when sci-fi or mecha modelers start interacting with historical scale modelers, there’s varying…[Read more]

I used to be part of the Granite State Modelers Club in New Hampshire and a friend of mine (also a Gundam and sci-fi modeler) used to be president of that club, I think that probably had a positive influence on them. My current club is the Patriots club in Massachusetts, and the experience…[Read more]
