It is nice to relax with a high grade again. #gunpla

After a long travel break, that’s a wrap on RG Nu. Fantastic #gunpla build, A+ kit, zero issues from start to finish

Seems like this kit is weirdly light on decals. Only about half the decal sheet is covered by the marking guide - the rest are extras. Also - it's very hard to make out the white decals on this speckly blue backing paper. Besides that, the Delpi decals are working great!

The build is done! Now it's time for decals... Delpi decals this time around. I don't think I've used Delpi before, but I've heard good things about them. And they looked good. Cheaper than the Bandai decals, too.

Had a migraine this weekend so I didn't get much accomplished... But I still managed to put together some legs and waist-section when I wasn't hiding in a dark room.

again the 'half-transformed' mode and the EAV mode the treads in the 'wings' are hinged at one end which allows for the tank modes to be posed differently #plamo

30 MM Volpanova (Tank Ver.) unsurprisingly, it's very similar to the Quad Bike version, but in the sand yellow color the addition of the tank turret and the different optic do a lot to differentiate this one I would imagine that both could use their vehicle wings to stabilize against recoil #plamo

Started my next Gunpla project tonight. This is straight assembling is going a lot faster than I expected but I can tell the fine details are going to be time consuming. #gunpla #gundam #rickdias #mastergrade

I put the final top coat on the real grade Astray Red Frame today. Although I kept this gunpla build simple and clean, I still enjoyed making it my own with decal choices and some painted details. I also broke my first V-fin… twice.

As June wraps up, looking back at the PG GN00 Gundam Exia that I finished building thia month. This was a gift from my wife for my birthday and our anniversary. It unlikely I'll be able to afford another anytime soon. #Gundam #Gunpla #Mecha #ModelKit

Did yall know they made the clay bazooka smaller for the MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0? (Mine is from the Re/100 Dijeh but it’s the same mold) #gunpla #mastergrade #gundam

After almost 3 months of work I’m finally calling this bad boy. Painting the missing details on this was really eye opening and I feel like I learned quite a bit that I’ll take to my next build! #gunpla #godgundam #mastergrade #ggundam

That's a wrap on the RGM-79S GM Spartan complete with G-Rework decals. This is my favourite HG build of 2024 so far. It's solid and I really dig the design. #Gundam #Gunpla #Plamo #Mecha #ModelKit

Anyone able to help me figure out what I’m doing wrong here? #gunpla #gundam

Tonights progress, I am absolutely over the moon with how this is coming out! #Gunpla #Gundam #Plamo #Mecha #Modelkit

30 MM Volpanova (Quad Bike Ver.) the 'half-transformed' mode and then the full EAV mode unlike the previously-released Espossito, the Volpanova has intended locking points for the transformed mode, which makes the full vehicle very stable the half-transformed mode is a bit more variable #plamo

30 MM Volpanova (Quad Bike Ver.) this is a really neat kit in EXMACS mode it feels like a scaled down Portanova with giant wings made of quadbike attached to its hips #plamo

These hands honestly kind of scare me. They're fully articulated. Every knuckle of each finger can individually bend. They're very cool, but feel incredibly fragile. I feel like they'll break if just I look at them wrong. I'm absolutely going to have to replace these with fixed-pose hands.

I'm not loving this head right now. The eyes just look dead without the LED unit. And it feels like there's too much white? I want some more color and contrast.

I like how accessible this cockpit is. And there's a neat little pop-up gun in the shoulder. But I'm wishing some of the inner-frame showed through those chest vents.

This is my first time doing full color correction on Gunpla! It’s been a really eye opening experience and I’m enjoying all of it! #gunpla #godgundam #mastergrade #gundam

She is complete #gunpla I can’t believe I pulled 3 Gundam gachapons and got the clear one on all three 😆 I’ve built Unicorn and the Aerial bust and I have an Exia trans-am bust I’m going to build when I finish watching 00
Oh god what I have gotten into. Aerial bust #gunpla gachapon
