Hey everyone!

I’m seeing more and more people subscribe so I wanted to make this post. Feel free to post any projects you’re working on, workstation setups, tool collections, all that good stuff.

With that in mind, what is your favorite build so far, or the one you’re most proud of?

You can comment under this post or make a new post, whatever you’re comfortable with!

"It's just a windmill!" they said. "You're delusional!" they said. Well who's crazy now?!

Featuring Knight Gundam and Nether Gundam. Since I had leftover SD frames from some SDCS builds, I decided to 3D print a conversion kit for one of the Gundams of all time. Strictly speaking, it's specifically a CS frame conversion kit and not intended for the SD frame at all, with the arm pieces wedged against the shoulder armor having basically no articulation at all, and the legs and feet just straight up too bulky to even assemble on the SD frame. If this were any other Gundam, this would have been a problem, but the Nether Gundam has a flight mode, so here we are.

Plot twist: I haven't built any of these kits lol. The original HG, MG 1.0, Beyond Global, SDCS, EG... but not the revive or RGs. I should fix that.

I finally decided to tackle building the whole Southern Cross Squad from Cucuruz Doan's Island. And after around 3 months of work I am finally done.

This was a bit of a challenge with all of the water decals, especially the commander who had about 125 total water decals. I also have decided that I'm tired of mono-colored weapons and have started painting knife and axe blades. Mono-eye = good, mono-color = not good.

Not sure it was worth the hour drive plus the hour wait in line, but at least we got out of the house. Pickings were slim, with most of the exclusives gone even though we got there early. They had tons of the HG Destroy, which hurt to pass on but the budget ain't what it used to be 😅😒

What do you mean, Mrs. Loheng-Rinko totally counts as a Seed kit! I'll fight anyone who disagrees in Gunpla Battle.

Anyway, the Strike is from the BB Senshi Striker Weapon System kit, but I wouldn't have been able to fit it onto her lap if any of the weapon packs had been equipped. Sad. Once I get the Skygrasper painted, because holy crap it needs it, I'll stick all the weapons on it instead and add it to the stand.

So far i haver a 1/100 Full Mechanics barbatos, 2 small sds i got for cheap, 3 Digimon Amplified and a Yugioh Amplified. Im looking at what to build next and im thinking on sticking to 1/100. Whats your opinion on that?

Also, have you guys done any house moving with gunplas? im positive i will be moving in less than 2 years or so and im more worried about having to move the gunplas than the figures as they are more flimsy

Whoof, that name's a mouthful. But anyway. This kit. I love it. The fact that it came with this entire display area, complete with tapestries in the back, is just so ridiculously amazing. Like, sure, this is based on the MG 1.5 RX-78, so the hands don't necessarily hold the weapons that well, but who cares? Just put them in the weapon racks and the Gundam itself in seiza.

These were some of the first models I painted. I really like how the glossy black accentuates the clear parts on Aerial.

I got the FA-78 Thunderbolt ver.ka a while back and loved the kit, so decided to get the HG version as a paint project. I'm pleased with how the color scheme turned out.
