Mini 3D-printed Minmay from Macross complete

My friend Gary sent me this small, 3D-printed Minmay figure a few years ago. I’ve slowly worked on it since then. The UN Spacy logo is from a set of Macross decals I bought on eBay years back, some of which I’d used on my 1:100 Imai Armored Valk I finished earlier this year. The pattern on her dress is from leftover decals from a Haku Rinpha resin kit from Hasegawa Eggplane Girls series.

She is VERY small, so zooming in with my camera like this is exposing the flaws I cannot see with my naked eyes. Her eyes turned out better than I thought they would. The sides where her torso joins her waist does not fit together like I’d hoped it would, but it fits very well in the back.

As for the Buck Rogers Starfighter visible in these pictures, my friend Blake had sent me this. He asked if I wanted one and I asked if he could print one in roughly a 1:144 scale version to make it essentially like a Bandai Mecha Collection-sized kit. I scanned the decals from the Monogram kit and shrunk them down to size to fit this small kit.

Some neat clothing I picked up in January

First up is this black Urusei Yatsura sweatshirt. It features Lum on the back, and on the front breast it just says “Urusei Yatsura.”

I got this kick-ass Buck Rogers T-shirt from Ali Express. It’s neat that this website sells all sorts of unlicensed merchandise.
