I love you, Hobby Link

My new kits arrived!

I’ve been too busy with work and side projects to start on any of them, and I’m busy finishing up another SD Gundam (Strike Noir), but I’m psyched. I’m going straight into the Gurren Lagann kits the first moment I get. All the effort is in the painting on those; there are only 2 pages of instructions, and one of them is a picture of the completed model.

Anyway, we’ll see how that goes. My BB Strike Noir is turning out a lot better than my last model, but it’s still not that great. I’m hoping I’ll have some better methods down by the time I work my way up to the Valkyrie* and the Vic Viper.

*Yup! Got a replacement!

Attention, Humans

Many apologies to the people who have actually commented on my blog and gone unrecognized; your posts were under a giant stack of robot spam, and I only dug you out today.  I think I’m going to have to install a Captcha. This makes commenting a little more annoying, but I’ll be able to respond much quicker.

Speaking of responding, I am also on Twitter, where I post about site updates and miscellaneous stuff (usually anime, modeling, art, or some combination thereof; it’s always PG-13 at the worst). Follow me!

You gave me a Hobbyfrown

Dear Hobbytown,

Your employees told me that this kit, in a series of kits you currently carry, was discontinued. So I ordered it somewhere else. Magically, it was not only not discontinued, but cheaper through the other store.

The workers who helped me were very nice when they didn’t sell me anything; don’t get me wrong. But seriously, if you a) have things in your store that I want or b) you can get them, I will buy them from you before I go anywhere else. Scout’s honor.

And if I was a boy scout, that would actually mean something. Just know that if a Scout dies because I have to shop at another store it’s on your head, Hobbytown.
