July’s Model Build Gathering

It’s 4:45 PM and I’m still trying to recover from yesterday’s build gathering. Early in the morning, I hit up a showing of Dark Knight with Will and Chris, and rushed back with them in tow to the house to find that Travis and company were already here. People showed up fairly promptly this gathering, and I think we hit 18 people before 3PM. The house cleared once Otakufuel showed up, and everyone was outside buying kits. Here are a few pictures of the three sections of build areas we ended up with:

We have a good number of new people this time; I believe we have about 7 or 8 new folks. Hugo watches them intently…

June’s Model Build Gathering

This weekend, a good number of the usual suspects didn’t show up; but we were still able to get about 14 people over to the build gathering. Rockband was fired up off and on through the gathering, Season 4 of Family Guy was thrown in, the grill was loaded with food, and we also built models.

1/144 Gundam Bar

During one of the build gatherings at my house a couple of months ago, Sean F and the other folks at the “kiddy” table came up with the idea to create a “Gundam Bar”. The basic idea was to have standalone bases as bar sections that can connect to each other to form a much bigger length of bar. More information and pictures after the jump.
