I built this site to showcase my model building projects. Most models are Gunpla, plastic models of robots from the Gundam anime series. However, I grew up building model airplanes, so there will be a few of these thrown in for variety. The pictures below link to each model's page with in-progress and completed pictures and descriptions.
Here is my growing list of in-progress and completed models I have built since I bought an airbrush. These models have gotten my maximum effort. They've been detailed, modified, puttied, sanded, airbrushed, shaded, washed, weathered, dry-brushed, etc....
A sad note: My old cable company, Adelphia, was bought out by Time Warner. While with Adelphia, I was supposed to have 10Mb of website space. I was up to 24Mb, and adding! Once Time Warner/Roadrunner took over, my space was slashed to a measly, near-worthless 5Mb. So, almost all pictures except for a select few of completed models have been removed from the site. Thanks, Time Warner...

Titans Test Team Tetra Threat!
I'm building this entry into the Fichtenfoo Forum's Advance of Zeta competition. It features four models, a Hazel Hummingbird, a custom-version of a Hazel Gigantic Arms Unit, a Hazel OWSLA and a Primrose Fighter.
Master Grade Freedom Gundam - Completed December 2007
The first “modern” Master Grade kit I’ll build since getting my airbrush. Custom paint job, of course. Going to go with the whole “Freedom” theme. Time to break out the masking tape and X-Acto knife…
HG 1/144 Gundam Super Astray Purple Frame - Completed May 2007
This Gundam Astray Red Frame model will feature a set of resin B Blub option parts that was meant for the Blue Frame. This way the model gets the best of both worlds. Hence the name Purple Frame.
Hangar Diorama for Master Grade Gundam GP01 - Completed October 2006
After over a year of various delays and a whole new GP01, my hangar diorama will finally be completed.
Tamiya 1/48-Scale P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback" - Completed June 2006
A "Commission" job. My dad asked me to build him a Thunderbolt for Father's DAy. He bought the kit so it's time to go back to World War II fighters and practice my weathering techniques.
Master Grade RX-78 GP-01 Gundam Prototype - Completed May 2006
Years ago I built an MG GP-01. Recently I decided to make a simple hangar diorama for it. Then I bought some new decals for it from Models4U. Then ToysRUs put the kits on sale for $10 and I decided an entirely new GP-01 was needed to live up to everything I had planned for it...
High Grade Universal Century Flaming Red Hot-Rod Zeong - Completed March 2006
So now that I've built a couple kits using my airbrush, I wanted to do something unique and somewhat artistic... Something you could only do with an airbrush. Here it is!
Tamiya 1/48-Scale F4U-1D Corsair - Completed February 2006
Ironically, my second airbrushed kit will NOT be mecha. I’m going back to my airplane modeling roots… In-Progress pictures are here, completed model coming soon!
Master Grade MS-05B Zaku I - Completed December 2005
My first airbrushed kit. Modified along the lines of Top’s Zaku I from the 08th MS Team.
Jin-Roh Patlabor Kitbash
Here's my favorite what if: What if the Wolf Brigade from Jin-Roh had Patrol Labors? An experiment in kitbashing the MG Gundam Spiegel.
