Sci-Fi

This is where the “unreal” happens.

I’m a big fan of science fiction, particularly anime and manga (Japanese animation and comics). I build kits of all kinds of different sci-fi subjects, and find them the most fun of all types of kits. There’s a lot of room for imagination and customization; since the vehicles aren’t real, there’s no one who can tell you you’ve done it wrong!

Click on the name of the kit (which is hyperlinked) to see a full article on it, with pictures, build history and anything else I think of! Every kit has a story!

Mecha:

Mecha are science fiction war machines, generally humaniform in appearance and most often piloted by one or two people. If you like, you can think of them as giant piloted robot tanks. Imagine a Transformer that needs a pilot. I build mecha from all kinds of different series, including Macross, Votoms, Evangelion, Nadesico.  I have a thing for giant robots, so you’ll eventually see a lot of these up here!

I don’t build figures of real people, but I love to build kits of anime figures. They range in size, but the biggest I’ve built is 1/6, and they tend to average about 1/20.
