Been doing the MG Powered GM in an on-again, off-again manner for the past two weeks, but glad its finally done (mostly), just in time to be displayed this weekend at a local event.

Still have some weathering to do on it though...

Got some time to spend on progressing with the MG GMIII build, and finally got the HG Nu HWS leg booster pods mounted to the GMII body. Made it so it could be detached for easier painting.

Sinanju in a nightmare sequence

Took pretty much a whole day to finish this drawing (plus 2 or so hours initial sketch from a few days ago), being a bust drawing of the Sinanju. Initially wanted to do the Dooku "signature look of superiority" meme, but ended up turning it into something wholly different (and probably better).

Built my first ever LEGO set in probably 10 years, the Starship Collection Venator-class Attack Cruiser from Star Wars Prequels. This is one of my favourite ships in the entire series, but I never had many options in terms of getting one easily in this size (nobody sells the Revell model here, the Armada tabletop one is hard to find, the LEGO UCS is way too expensive and large, and Bandai hasn't done a lot of Prequel ships too), so the moment LEGO announced this, I knew I had to get it.

The build was surprisingly a lot more complicated than what I was used to building before this (still a lot of fun), but the overall result is a very good looking model of an amazing starship design, and the provided plaque is really sturdy too. The size is just right for the level of detail, and a lot of nice little tricks were used to compensate for the scale and available LEGO pieces (it's not a model kit, so they do have to compensate in areas).

Overall, really satisfied with the set, and I might consider getting the Acclamator Assault Ship to complete a Clone Wars Republic display.

First drawing of 2026 done, Skybound's rendition of Optimus Prime form their comics, with Megatron's fusion cannon arm. Been working on and off on this since around early December, and happy to finally finish it just before I finish my end-of-year office break.
