The Plamax Bellvine is currently available. Got it in my private warehouse HLJ. 

Also here is a link to an outstanding brush painted build of it via HJweb

Looks cool, I thought it wasn’t out yet, but did check my private warehouse and it’s there. Getting to be a growing thing. Still hoping the Queadluun Rau tv version is on time at the end of the month and I’m hoping I can ship it all. Hoping not to get totally reamed by the tariff collectors tax

I tried a few different combos of items in my private warehouse for shipping to see what the max can be for their cheapest method and it’s still looking like $$$. I can wait on shipping for now when looking at my stash and hope the tariff nonsense changes soon.

It won’t be too much longer till they start charging for private warehouse at hlj, not sure how much that will be

That Bellvine is so tempting, but my stash is crushing me already. It's great to see what injection molding can do recently, it feels like exponential progress over the last years – but that also means even more kits to choose from.

I'm currently on what I hope to be the final stretches of this early kit from the Moderoid line, the Deer Stalker R x R. Still lots of masking to do.

That’s a pretty cool look. I skipped it, but kinda feel some regret about that decision

You can still get one at Hobbysearch.

Details & fit are great, but the tolerances are too tight in some places so there are problems getting the parts into their end position. Compared to Bandai or recent Moderoids, this one at times feels like working on a garage kit.

It’s not so much the availability as the stash size. I want it, just not sure if I should pull the trigger or not. When I see pictures of it is when it gets tough

That looks great so far. I’m not familiar with the DeerStalker but I’m diggin that design. I’ll have to look it up.

Apparently, it's from a game franchise called Iron Saga, but illustrations are sparse, and I don't know who designed it. I also only found one modeler who finished a painted kit.

The Deer Stalker is about the size of a MG kit, and the BFG is included.

Thanks for the insight. I’m a sucker for the BFG’s hence my obsession with FSS.

I am still looking for a fair priced Blassty kit like the fantastic build you had posted awhile back. Yet again, another series I had never heard of. Lol

It’s paint day so finally get my lazy butt cleaning out the spray booth and laying down some fresh paper. No more dust. Fingers crossed.

From what I understand, the offer in the Goosmile shop gives you two full kits, so that's a pretty good price:

To be honest, I think the BFG there kinda overshadows the overall design. Maybe if it were at least a different color or something. The base design looks very elegant though

One for robot mode and one for fighter, pretty cool. Too bad it not just both types though, but still a cool deal

Not much time this day as finishing up other project before winter hits. Visiting the backlog and pulled out on a whim. Feels good to finally be making progress on this old gal.
