Hi, I'm Greg. I am a nerd living in Japan. I was born and raised in Arizona. I created a homepage for myself in 1996 focused on my thoughts and my hobbies and named it after my pet fish named Steve I had in college.
stevethefish.net
I started this channel in 2008 and it is focused on my life and hobbies: plastic models, video games, collectible figures, anime, manga, science fiction & fantasy, Japanese snacks, Japan travel, etc. As with my homepage, this is also an outlet for sharing life experiences, thoughts, etc.
Being a modeler living in Japan, I introduce the Japanese modeling scene to the international, English-speaking world. I use Japanese words to shorten video titles. Common nomenclature used:
plamo = plastic model kit
sofubi = soft vinyl model kit
gareki= resin garage kit

For those of you who enjoy my videos for unusual model builds, this is for you! This is not a kit you see very often. It's the Y-Wing sofubi (soft vinyl) kit by Argo Nauts, which was a sub-label for Aoshima. By the way, "sofubi" is pronounced "sof'bi" as a contraction of "soft vinyl" (Japanese usually don't pronounce the "v" sound properly and it becomes a "b" sound). It's not pronounced "sofoo...

How tall is the finished kit?
It's about 14cm to the top of the antennae. I have a 72nd scale kit of the Defender I'd like to build someday too.
Thanks! I’m an old Battletech fan and wanted to see if 1/100 Macross sizes well with a 1/72 Dougram kit I just built.
Instead of the hard to bend brass, did you ever try using solder? Also, what is that white stuff you filled the the hull with?
Solder is an interesting choice, but it bends too easily. So once it gets bent, then you can try to straighten it out, but it'll never be very straight again. The white stuff is just lightweight paper clay I bought at Daiso.
Same guy shooting inside at his door then back outside
Thanks for the stupid comment. He cannot teleport like Nightcrawler, nor can he multiply himself like Multiple Man. Paddock isn't an X-Men. He was a patsy.
Well done
You have to admit that with Robotech the Southern Cross was ok but Macross and Mospeada actually felt better paired with each other.
Macross and Mospeada had similar mecha and both had more compelling characters. The characters in Southern Cross were not very good. At least the Robotech version could explain how an incompetent girl could become commander, in that her parents were heroes and she was apparently promoted through the system riding their fame. I cannot remember if the Japanese version explained why she was in charge because she's a dumb character.
Some bendy wire might help to mock up some of those bends next time👍🏼
Well, if you mean flexible wire, then it would get bent up too much and look like crap. The pipes wouldn't be straight like they're supposed to be.
@stevethefishdotnet just as a reference for your bends to use on the piping, to reduce the guesswork.
Oh, I see what you mean! Use something as a model and then bend the stiff wire accordingly. Good idea! Thanks for the tip.

Yeah. And 100% of the time my voice can be heard BEFORE the "echo."

Check out Breetai's flagship build by @EagleSciFiModeler, who even lighted his. czcams.com/video/ZpBjiI9S4lA/video.html
Nice work, it's not every day I see this subject matter tackled and it gives you an appreciation as to how far plastic kit molding and production has come since the late 70s and 1980s. Is it possible to leave off the sensor spines until later, really sucks to lose that detail.
I left the spines off until last, but then after I thought I was done and attached them, I ended up still needing to do some more work. Eagle Models posted a video of his build of Breetai's flagship just less than a week ago. Check it out: czcams.com/video/ZpBjiI9S4lA/video.html
@@stevethefishdotnet I will!
That's amazing work on the Y - Wing fighter Greg. Also what a coincidence that we both upload videos on same day. Keep up the work. Looking forward to see final results of assembly.
I’m impressed with the detail for a sofubi kit. I’ve seen a few sofubi figure kits here in the US but definitely nothing like a Y-wing. It’s interesting how modeling evolved differently in different countries.
Halcyon's old kit of the Nostromo from Alien was a sofubi kit. Generally though, vinyl is used for figure kits. Horizon used to make all those Marvel superhero and Star Trek sofubi kits in the '90s. You can get a lot of great detail from vinyl as you can resin. Bandai's plastic model kits can rival that of resin it seems.
Coming along very nicely, I dig the chipping on the nose and the engine nacelles. This kit would make an interesting side by side comparison with the Bandai and FineMolds Y-Wings. If I may, I would suggest painting the brass piping, as much as the brass is the actual colour, scale effect might make it look unfinished if left in natural brass. Just my 2 shelkels.. So far tho, it looks great, well done Greg!
Ah, I hadn't thought of that. So painting will help with scale, huh?
Your Y-Wing is looking quite nice so far, almost done! Model bravely!
Good Dog
How does this stack up next to the big metal one from Tamashi and Bandai? The shield on this is really cool, but this design seems to only be on this model
I saw the Tamashi Sirbine once at a store It was used and on display. It did not seem to have the same shield. The Tamashi version should be a poseable figure/toy collectible, while this model is a static figure kit. It has no movable parts. And yes, the shield is beautiful.
0:28 🤣🤣🤣 Marion LOL!!!
That's so amazing work there you have done Greg. I just love it.
Thank you for bring light to the subject, I really want one.
nice kit... so after 6 years, what happened to your letter to enya? did you send it? 😉
HA! Oh man, I forgot all about the Enya gag. I had to re-watch the end of this video. No, that was all nonsense and I wasn't serious about that. I couldn't imagine sending Enya a letter griping about upgrading my computer from a 32bit to 64bit OS and taking my dog to prom. 😆
Nice chipping and weathering, I recently discovered Ammo drybrush paints and love them, pretty much replaced my Tamiya weathering pallets.
Thanks. A few weeks ago I finished painting the hands. All I have to do now is put them on and I'll be done. Maybe over the 3 day weekend that's about to begin in a few hours from now!
Your paint is far too thick when airbrushing, not to mention it probably needs a good field strip and clean. Mix your paint in a separate jar to fine tune your ratio. Slow down and chill out.. Not sure if you're overly conscious because the camera is recording as it feels your rushing through the processes. Patience Jedi, it's supposed to be fun and relaxing.
That's the difficult thing with V-Color vinyl paints. I'm used to airbrushing with lacquer paints, but if I thin the V-Color paints to the same consistency, I get that spider-web effect. I find it best to not mix the paint in the airbrush cup but in a separate plastic cup. Even then I still can't get it right. Something else is that V-Color tends to dry out much more quickly than regular paint. So once I get the airbrush ready, get the camera set up, etc, once I start airbrushing the paint is too thick and I have to dump out the paint and start over again. I'm reminded of why I stopped doing vinyl kits for a long time. Regardless, it is fun and relaxing and I've resumed work on some vinyl kits I set aside several years ago. BTW, thanks for the tactful feedback. Too many are incapable of giving pointers without coming across as insulting and condescending.
♡★♡★♡★♡
You're making progress on this challenging kit! I like the blue stripes too.
Thanks. Unfortunately, the Bandai Y-Wing has separate parts for the yellow stripes. It would require puttying to completely remove the part separation from that. The Fine Molds Y-Wing didn't have that, of course.
Please reply if you see this comment of mine. I stumbled across something tonight that I think is serious on pinterest and someone needs to cover it.
I just now saw your comment. What did you find? You can contact me directly via email at greg (at) stevethefish.net.
I like your Y-Wing, VERY MUCH! 😄
Thanks! I'm finishing up the 4th video already, but I wanna pace these videos out and not dump them all at once like some people do.

This is the saturn port, the only one with voice acted dialogues. Even though I know Koyori is Kawamura Maria, yet at times she surprisingly sound like Mizuki Nana for some reason lol.
I love Minmay. I have this as a garage kit recast, I'll make it soon.
Nice! This sofubi kit by Arii is really not good. If my buddy hadn't resculpted her eyes, it would not have turned out so well.
@@stevethefishdotnet it's often hard to work on older models. I had my share of difficulties when I tried to paint and assemble my Cat's Eye figures. :(
So far, so good on this rarely seen Y-Wing kit, mixed media is curious but an interesting approach. I'm chucking all of my Star Wars kits, I'm so disgusted with what the Disney asswipes have done in the name of DEI to this once beloved IP I really can't look at anything related without feeling depressed and disgusted, it's all about communist lesbian space witches bringing fatherless Black children into the galaxy. I fucking hate Disney! I will, however, enjoy seeing you build this kit up, I'll try to remember happier times before all this wokery ruined things.
I've pinned your comment because it was censored. Don't get rid of your Star Wars kits! Don't let them rob the joy you've had from the original trilogy. Star Wars is completely dead now. It began with Greedo shooting first in '97 and it's been downhill ever since then. But despite all the stupidity like helicopter lightsabers and degeneracy like this Acolyte nonsense, We grew up with the original trilogy and Kathleen Kennedy will never take that from me. I never watched Last Jedi and if I never watch any of this new crap, then it can't taint my love for the originals. For the same reason, I avoid watching Prometheus because I don't want it to ruin my love for the first two Alien movies.
@@stevethefishdotnet Thank you, Greg, YT has been shadow banning or blocking my comments when I voice my disgust with KK, Feloni and the rest at current day Lucasfilm, what they've done is very disheartening but you're right, I should not let them rob me of my happiness, even if it's their bread & butter.
It's disturbing what they are doing, but really I couldn't care less. I had a glimmer of hope when I saw the first season of Mandalorian, but that is long gone. I am relishing the fact that Disney is getting completely annihilated. It's a company I have hated for over 30 years. Someone told me that they are going to make another Tron film and I am certain that it will suck. All this DEI and ESG will be the downfall of Disney and all these other ridiculous corporations.
I understand your feelings but don't don't damn the non-Disney along with the Disney. I still have all my Bandai OT kits; in fact I am currently working on a Hoth dio for the 1/144 AT-AT as well as another X-wing, another TIE, and finally Vader's TIE all in 1/72. Instead, go to your local Ollie's and look at all the unsold merch Disney has had to offload because no one wants their garbage characters. They believed the myth that fans would buy a turd with 'Star Wars' written on it.
@wwiiinplastic4712 Indeed! That woman who was Harvey Weinstein's enabler can piss on Star Wars all she wants. For me, I am happy with what Harmy and Adywan are doing to make Star Wars endearing to us true fans. Even though Japanese viewers are oblivious to most of the underhanded political lecturing found in Disney's Star Wars, they still know a lousy story when they see it. My Japanese sister went to go see TLJ and she hated it. Her husband insisted on seeing it with her, and she told him he didn't want to see it. "But it's STAR WARS!" Then in the theater, he was wanting to walk out before the movie finished. And here in Japan, you don't get your money back like you can in the USA. Bandai's attitude towards SW seemed to change with TLJ and they produced less kits, primarily adding new parts to existing tools and focusing on the Vehicle Collection kits. The good news is that MPC will be releasing a 72nd scale TIE Bomber! I am willing to buy that, despite the fact that it'll be giving money to the mouse-eared Kingdom of Darkness.
You know I have the Y-Wing mini kit from bandai that I want to work on. There easy to build and paint compare this kit!
Yes. Bandai kits build themselves and do not pose a challenge like this kit will.
@@stevethefishdotnet All those skinny pipes on the Perfect Grade Falcon can be a bit intimidating.
@wwiiinplastic4712 Not only that, but the pipes on Bandai's 72nd scale Y-Wing can also pose trouble, I've heard. For this sofubi Y-Wing though, I have to create all of the pipes myself by hand!
@@stevethefishdotnet I didn't have a problem with my Y-wing but I can see how it would be for other people. Having a really good pair of nippers helps a lot to avoid snapping them.
@@wwiiinplastic4712 I've heard that if you paint the Y-Wing's pipes separately, you have to protect the snap parts because the extra coats of paint expands their size and prevents them from fitting properly.
It really is a craftsman's kit. After seeing this the first time on one of your videos, I have causally looking for it here in the states. Nothing yet under $100. Unusual combination of different materials. It seems to be moving right along though. Very unique.
I only paid about 2600 yen for mine. I think it had been for a lot more money, but this kit was sitting in that store for several years and I think they marked the price down. They had the Argo Nauts X-Wing too, but that must have sold years ago. I learned that this X-Wing is also sofubi.
@@stevethefishdotnet Several years ago someone through one of the discussion boards I was on at the time tried to sell me some 1/72 scale Star Wars kits, TIE Fighters, Y-Wing) and other related merch from the late 70s, they were unlicensed stuff from Japan and therefore quite rare, can't remember the manufacturer. I almost bought them, but he was asking for a couple hundred dollars for these items.
Very nice work, Greg, she came out beautifully! Funny thing, I happened to be looking through an old issue of Hobby Japan today and in the back there was this an advertisement for the Noda-Ya Gun & Hobby store featuring this Asuka figure and a number of other famous anime girl resin figure kits for sale, what are the odds?! Nice choice of music too, I love FM Attack!
Thanks. Wait... it was this very same figure you saw in the magazine?
@@stevethefishdotnet Yes, the exact same figure, it was the Nov. 2002 issue to be exact.
So, this one I built is a resin kit. Is the original one you saw a pre-colored PVC figure or something?
Hows things buddy ... she has a lovely pair of knockers
Looks good - your skills are improving! 👍
Thanks!
one of my favourite games on the psp, I want to play the original arcade version so bad
Unfortunately, Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna has been replaced with an "updated" version. It doesn't appeal to me. The big gaming capsules with wrap-around screens are gone, and they seem to be filled with mecha from Gundam shows I do not care for.
The Blends on the Skin and dress are Fantastic
Thanks. I'm the most pleased with the shading on her hair.
@@stevethefishdotnet I didn't see much of the hair in the video but that photo you text me was awesome . I wish E2046 had a better selection of Asuka in the plug suit.
This was a real blast from the past to watch! It's interesting how much of the show floor has remained more or less the same over the past 10 years.
Yes, the show has been mostly the same, although some of the companies in the trade booth area have changed. Now that you live in Japan, I'd recommend checking out the Wonder Festival event this summer as it is even bigger. It encompasses three whole convention halls. One is dedicated to the big toy/model companies, and the rest are either smaller model companies and private vendors. Then there is the All-Japan Model Hobby Show in September. It's smaller than the Shizuoka show, but there are some different companies you don't see in Shizuoka.
more than a handfull is a waste ! boobs that is, anyway nice work greg nice shading on the dress , i have this kit also the radio version,
There is a kit of her wearing the same yellow dress, in a sitting position. www.e2046.com/p/3557/&title=evangelion-asuka-yellow-dress-sitting It's tempting, but right now it is a very low priority as I am abstaining from all kit purchases for the rest of the year, if I can help it.
