A recent return engagement to actually figure hunting in person brought me to a local place entirely dedicated to model kits, specifically Gunpla imported from Japan. I hadn't built a Gundam kit in many years, and I was about to buy another one when I stumbled into something that struck my interest. Unbeknownst to me, Bandai has a relatively newer series of model kits known as the "30 Minutes Sisters," a line of mecha women whose namesake is taken from the average time it takes to assemble them. The novelty of building my own figure - namely one in the likeness of a more human/cyborg character - reminded me a lot of Bionicle from my childhood, so I naturally jumped into this new line. I came home from the store with a set of basic model tools and Rishetta, assembling her in admittedly more than 30 minutes. She came with swappable facial expressions and a modular outfit, capable of forming a look that's more "cute" or "mechanized" as desired. This same system is also compatible with Bandai's adjacent lines "30 Minutes Missions" and "30 Minutes Fantasy," effectively leaving the customer with the tools to make their own action figure. Needless to say, Rishetta is a welcome addition to my collection, and she already took some time to make her excitable temperament apparent.

Here is my 1/48 scale Monogram model UH-1B Iroquois photoshopped over sand dunes. I flew in the real one over Stockton Beach sand hills a great many times. The kit is really a UH-1C, but I modified to represent a RAAF B model with rescue hoist. Decals came from the scrap box.
Here we have my first attempt at staging a 1/72 scale WW2 sunset view on a remote Pacific Island strip to our north. My HobbyBoss 1/72 scale P-40's and a pre made 1/72 Jeep.
TR-5 Harpy "Norma"

Scale: 1/72 scale.
Origin: Crusher Joe.
Brand: Hasegawa.
Series: Creator Works.
Material: Styrene Plastic.
Release Date: March 2021.

Remark: The Murphy Pirates' single-seat fighter TR-5 Harpy as piloted by Norma in "Crusher Joe”. This kit assembles without the needs for glue, and the core frame in the center of the aircraft lends itself to the method of assembling each unit and then the exterior. The canopy can be opened and closed. A seated pilot figure of Norma is included.
