ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 17hLately, this is all I’ve been doing. It really lets me clear my mind. Applying water-slide decals completely transforms the look of it. 1121
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 12/10/2026After many twists and turns, this is the situation I find myself in now. #histscalemodels 1223
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I've started the final touches on the sea surface. I wonder how it'll turn out once it dries... 0212
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Good morning! Alright, today I’m going to start building this guy. It’s the *King of Braves GaoGaiGar*—a promise I made to a dear friend! I’m definitely going to need my magnifying glasses for this one. 🤣 1110
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026What do you think? There's a pole standing there, so I suppose it differs from historical fact... #histscalemodels 1252
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Metal Gear REX, rolling out. It’s amazing how much the impression changes once you attach the railgun and radome. Yeah, it’s looking good. There’s just something fun about a straight build. Ah, that was fun. Now, I wonder what I should build next... 0192
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This is how things are right now. Little by little... #histscalemodels 2335
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026That looks absolutely awesome! Buying it was definitely worth it. The box art alone is good enough to eat a meal with. 1131
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm building Metal Gear REX. REX looks incredibly cool from the front and straight-on from the back, but it looks a bit pathetic from the side—or is it just me? All that's left now is to build the railgun and the radome. 1171
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I filled in the gaps and smoothed out the area around the submarine using gel medium. I might have gone a bit overboard, though. I wonder how it’ll turn out once it dries... #histscalemodels 0343
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The gel medium has dried. It looks *sort of* wave-like—or maybe not quite... Right, next I think I'll add some deep blue here and there. Layering the colors, letting them dry, applying the gel medium... I wonder how many times I'll end up repeating this process. #histscalemodels 3252
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I tried adding waves using gel medium first thing this morning. But... they don't look like waves at all! 😭 I think I might have messed up... 😅 0110
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The item I’ve been waiting so long for has finally arrived. I waited—I really waited. Build Art Masterline Plastic Model Kit: Guts – Berserker Armor "Rage" Now, how should I go about building this...? I think I'll give it some serious thought. 1111
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's still a work in progress, but the sea surface is gradually coming together nicely... #histscalemodels 0285
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I went wild and slathered on tons of gel medium! No idea how it'll turn out... I don't think I'll mess it up, but it's still nerve-wracking! 2151
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The Dora I ordered has arrived! Also, the liquid putty I bought—though I've completely forgotten what I bought it for—showed up at the same time 😅 1171
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hmm...? It doesn't look like anything has changed... Well, I guess I'll just spread it out really thinly so it starts looking like the surface of the sea. It'll probably start looking like the sea surface! ...Or so I hope. 😅 170
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The base layer for the water surface has landed, so I'm running a test right away. By tomorrow morning, it should be looking pretty good... hopefully. 070
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I headed out in the heavy rain to buy some aluminum foil for the sea surface, and this is how it’s looking. It’s exactly as I imagined! The diorama is coming along so well that I’m starting to think, "Maybe I should just leave it like this?" #histscalemodels 0242
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 22/09/2026DO-KYOKU — 道極 After countless battles, all that remained was a single sword. In the frozen wasteland, he carved two words into his battered machine: “DO” — the Path, and “KYOKU” — to master it. Not for others to see, but as a vow to himself. Then, through the snow, he walked on. 0243
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It was a real struggle... But I've mastered a new way of expressing myself 🖐️ Oh, though I'm still not very good at it 🤣 1161
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s a bit stark, but this is pretty much it. I personally tried to incorporate a "blizzard" feel into the space. Though, I guess that might not be obvious... 😅 The idea is that the wind is blowing snow from the rocky area in the back-left toward the right-foreground. Ah, that was fun. 0255
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I've still got a ways to go, but does it capture the feel of a blizzard? 1183
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The morning sun was streaming in beautifully, so I snapped a photo. It turned out great. No one else is going to praise it, so I’ll just have to praise it myself! 🤣 1141
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Work left me with absolutely no desire to touch my models this week, but I seem to have gotten over the hump; feeling motivated to build again, I’ve pulled this one off the shelf. Time to take my time and work on it steadily. 1181
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I had errands to run all day, so it was a shame I couldn't spend time with the guys from Osaka 😭. Once I finished my errands, I did some cleanup, a tiny bit of dry brushing, and applied the decals. There’s still room for improvement, but I think it turned out pretty well. 1274
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I set things up briefly just to check the current state of the diorama. It feels a bit flat, though... I wonder if there's a way to make the most of the base without overshadowing the robot itself. 0172
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Yeah. Things are looking good. I guess I'll just take it easy and keep moving forward. Just taking it one step at a time... 0202
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 28/08/2026There are still some rough spots that stand out, but I think I'll generally proceed with this approach. I have the day off tomorrow, so I might start thinking about the diorama base. A robot paired with a Japanese sword really is the ultimate combination! 😁 1223
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 26/08/2026It was beyond my skill level to build, so I passed on buying it—and a few years went by... But now I feel like I *can* build it! So, when I saw it was being re-released, I pre-ordered it right away. 1111
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I assembled it temporarily just to get a sense of the overall look. I’ve still got more layers of color to add, but—yeah—it’s looking pretty good. 2242
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I'm continuing to layer up the U-35. Well now, I wonder how this is going to turn out... 0151
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Sprayed on the usual Oxide Red. It was scorching hot. For a bald guy like me, this heat hits hard. I practically risked my life spraying that primer. Here's hoping it turns out great! 😁 1251
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Mr. Naoto Arakawa's book has arrived! As I turned the pages, I found myself muttering things like, "Wow... he actually pulled this off with a plastic model? That is absolutely incredible." My wife then said, "You should build one too!" No way—that’s impossible. It is just mind-blowingly amazing. 2151
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I went ahead and bought it. Oh, and another one is arriving on Thursday, too. A book by Naoto Arakawa. I really want to try making a diorama that draws the viewer in. #Diorama 191
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 16/08/2026King Gainer is born! It comes with expressive hand parts and head parts that evoke the look of hair. You can pose it with all sorts of expressions. I just snapped it together without overthinking anything. Ah, that was fun. Building plastic models really is a blast. 1284
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Scale models are great, but I absolutely love robot models! 😁 1100
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I applied a filter using enamel paints last night. I’m getting close to the point where I can set sail on the open ocean. There’s still a long way to go, but this is my first-ever attempt at a seascape diorama! I’m a bit nervous, but I’m really looking forward to it. Right, time to head off to work. 1171
ぱげやん @pageemon.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The one I built before turned out like this, so I wanted a rematch—that's why I went ahead and pre-ordered it. 1242
