12:30 PM on 05.17.2013 Meet Davidkraig at Kidrobot NY's May 18 customizing eventWant to come check out some live customizing and meet artist Davidkraig? If you're in New York City, you can do that on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Eastern at Kidrobot New York (118 Prince St., SoHo, Manhattan). As for what he'll be working on ... I'm not too sure.

9:15 PM on 05.15.2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show: Master Grade Gundam 3.0It was just announced yesterday and I wasn't thrilled by the news. It's just what feels like Master Grade Gundam #47. There's a reason why it was made though and Bandai had to prove that today. With what looks like a 1/100 sc...

Mamitan said she'll return later to answer more questions, but for now you can see a summary of the thread after the jump.
