OhGeek Toys

Rommel P. Laurente  and I went during the first day of this year's ToyCon to avoid the heavy crowd of people that would come during the weekends. As such, we were able to freely roam the halls and get to the toys that we wanted to see. The trade off, of course, was that we were not able to attend any of the programs for the event.  But hey, the toys were awesome, and that's why we were there 

The MG Shenlong is my 3rd MG build and I am beginning to really appreciate this line of kits. I am primarily a 1/144 scale builder because I like how compact the kits are and somehow, at the back of my mind, whenever I am working on something that's taller than 8 inches, I feel like I am working on a toy.  Specifically a doll is what I see in my hands, instead of a model kit. The size just bugs me... it feels really really big. However, having painted the MG Strike Noir and the MG Deathschyte, I feel like the MG's are growing on me and for obvious reasons. For starters, I find them easier to build. Compared to HGs, they have very few seams to cover and since almost all the parts are molded in color I do not have need to mask as much as I need to do with HGs and older kits. I hate masking, I would rather hand-brush a large area than spend time cutting masking tape and aligning them. When I was younger it was fun, now I see as a waste ...
