Hi HKML, here is my latest work and also a first for me, a resin garage kit of the Dendrobium from Kow Yokoyama's Maschinen Krieger ZbV3000 series.
I had the good fortune of picking this resin garage kit up during the Wonder Festival in Japan.
Wonder Festival is a biannual convention held in Tokyo, Japan showcasing resin garage kits produced by the Japanese modelling scheme. There is tons of interesting stuff there from all sorts of designers and kits, though most, if not some of them can be a bit naughty...
Maschinen Krieger itself is a retro-futuristic fantasy series about two factions fighting for control of earth in the far off future. The main draw of the series is the WW2 inspired mechanical design of the mecha and other assorted vehicles.
The wikipedia site with more information here about this awesome world and Wonder Festival is here:

This was my first time tackling a resin kit and its definitely a different experience from a usual plastic one. What I liked was the simpleness and ease of construction, but the imperfections in the molding like air bubbles were a bit too much to handle. At the end, I kind of left them, though I felt it helped with the gritty look of the kit somewhat lol.
