Early July loot.

Not exactly certain about Japanese side of EMS post service, but as practice showed on several occasions American side of EMS, serviced buy US Postal Service is quite slow.
But not this time, oh no!
AmiAmi shipped my long awaited pre-orders on Thursday, June first, imagine my surprise when I saw a postman at my door step early Saturday morning.

Detolf overhaul.

Detolf itself is certainly a fine piece of Swedish ingenuity. Just think about it, four pieces of tampered glass, few metal rods, chrome hinges and couple of boards made of a wooden scraps! All this for around $60, brilliant!

Detolf01
Wouldn’t you mind having a mirror in your Detolf, so you won’t only stare on the fronts of your figurines, Gundams or pristine Victorian pottery for what so not? I certainly wouldn’t!

June loot.

Slowly, but surely my collection of figures and Gundams getting bigger and bigger.

Asuka Langley Soryu maid version garage kit.

After several attempts of painting Gundam models which were successful, and not very decided to move into anime figurines. Frankly saying, that was an ultimate goal when I just started, see how it’ll work out.

Asuka_Maid_GK1
Well, that’ll be my first attempt to build a garage kit figure.
Ordered from e2046.com and a couple of weeks later “I has it”.
