kallowayI finished Transient Gundam (who is quite beautiful, but ugh, I did not do well with the clear-blue plastic; it scarred in weird unexpected ways) and want help picking my next build.
...while I also go through All My Paint because I might get to an actual hobby store next weekend where I can theoretically buy more paint/replace any bad paint. It's so much easier to buy paint in person than try to figure out color swatches on a monitor. ^^;;
I still have some other stuff to sort through, and I think a few other repair projects lingering, I am slowly but surely getting the desk and surrounding area sorted out for the first time in far too many years.
To have clean desks...
*non-custom
**this may be partly built or questionable; I have a couple of UC MGs I got very cheap because someone had started and not finished at least one of them
***I forgot to note that GN Archer is also not the custom-colors I have planned for one to make it into Abulhool
I am totally going to end up getting an airbrush if it ever warms up and stays warmed up.

Apr. 16th, 2025 08:19 pmkalloway(three days of unposted updates again, whoops)
Have had a lot of mail coming in. ^^;; A couple of things were KS/pre-orders that just happened to roll in at the same time as 'must buy all the model kits', but now my living room looks like shipping and receiving. ^^;;
(I am watching a lot of small stores get royally fucked by the tariffs, especially nerd stores and other hobby-related ventures. Just, this sucks not only as a customer but just a person who is genuinely glad that being a nerd selling stuff to other nerds exists as a career choice and would like that to continue.)
Maybe over the weekend I can catch up on some hobby posts? At the rate the weather is going (wtf is the weather doing?), cemetery zine is definitely going to be a #0 with previous years ramblings and photos. On the one hand, alas, but on the other this is fine and maybe a good starting point.
Gundam G Generation Eternal finally released! I smashed through what I could and will attempt to figure out how to pace myself shortly. There are some pretty firm resource walls and no real reason to blast through things other than being ready for the upcoming Astray event.

[livre] Les exploits de Fantômette (to1)
Apr. 14th, 2025 03:02 pmmaluretteTitre : Les exploits de Fantômette
Auteur : Georges Chaulet
Langue : français
Type : roman jeunesse
Genre : aventure/détective
1ère parution : 1961
Édition : Hachette/bibliothèque rose
Format : poche couverture dure, 180 pages
( Read more... )
C'est pas *exceptionnel* mais heh c'est pour un public très jeune, ça date, et en vrai, même avec tout le recul, ça reste intéressant, hein. Y'a pas de mystère que ça ait su durer 50 tomes ! (est-ce que je vais me lasser avant le 50ème ? on verra bien !)
First book in an iconic kid detective series--one of the inspirations behind Miraculous Ladybug (and the very one their middle school is named after.) Not *great* but still quite engaging.

Saturday Night's Alright For Writing
Apr. 12th, 2025 10:33 pmkallowayI bought a couple of things from a small gunpla shop and the order confirmation included a link to their discord server. I've been in gunpla/gundam discords before and ran screaming, but I joined anyway and so far it is very chill, they love Providence and Daggers, and I horrified them with my backlog.
Sentai Filmworks Spring Anime Sale, til the 20th iirc. I think I'm good for the moment and need to work on my backlog more. (I mean, I am, but-)
Apparently Hakuouki SSL is getting an English release, which is exciting. I don't think it has an exact date, though, so I'm just going to have to keep it in the back of my mind for later in the year.
I actually wrote and posted a drabble. It's not much, but it's something. Worked a bit on zine stuff. Maybe I can do a bit more later.
Also worked on cleaning in the dining room. I think getting rid of a few more plants will help out A Lot. I'm also going to take a bucket of sand and a bunch of incense out to the garage to burn while working out there. If it ever warms up, I mean, which it hasn't.

[livre] Mon affreux papa ~Chris Donner
Apr. 10th, 2025 01:27 pmmaluretteTitre : Mon affreux papa
Auteur : Chris Donner
Langue : français
Type : roman jeunesse
Genre : dramédie
1ère parution : 1998
Édition : L'école des loisirs
Format : mediu-poche, 60 pages
(d'où ça vient ? foire aux livres ? oxfam ?)
Le papa de la petite narratrice est tellement affreux qu'on l'a mis en prison. Aujourd'hui elle va lui rendre visite au parloir pour la première fois avec sa maman... mais rien ne va se passer comme prévu. Ohlala.
À la fois c'est un drame terrible, et raconté de manière étonnamment rigolote et émouvante !
Short children's book where a terrible dad is in prison--which is both dramatic, and oddly hilarious?

Apr. 9th, 2025 09:27 pmkallowayThis is like a week in the making because I fell hard into 'but nobody cares, Kalloway' brainweasels. *sigh*
I have mostly gotten the bathroom back together, though I expect I will be finding drywall dust forever awhile despite my best efforts. I started cleaning in the dining room and spelunked all the way to the one nesting table I have, which is the middle of a trio of which my parents have the largest and smallest. No, I have no idea how this happened. Once we figure out something to replace it, I'll return it.
In an attempt to close some tabs on my phone, I made ashort list of a bunch of the tabs that have something I want to buy and am working on just... buying what I reasonably can. Which is not all of it, of course. Quite a bit is stuff like $2 games on itch and whatnot. I also really want all of Kim Hu's Jeweled Saint Prints, which frequently go on sale, but that will require purchasing frames and figuring out where to hang them and I want to at least know where they're going before I order them. I pre-ordered a Code Geass Lancelot kit, which is apparently getting a reprint soon. For some reason, I thought I had one. I have a Vincent, though, and that seems to be it. I still need to make an order from a (new/used) bookstore that has a strong Fediverse presence. They have a few Sharon Shinn books I need, and some Arthuriana.
I have a bunch of packages package-racing from around the world. We'll see how that goes. *sigh*
