This here was my first official custom kit I've ever made (there were a few protos beforehand, but they were just pieces) though this is the only photo that survived. Also, this ends my archive dump run so I'll be going dark until next Nov or when the house is fully built -[cont in comment sect]-.

Of all my builds, this one costed the most paint wise due to the number/amount of metallic paints used here. Incidentally, I did a few Transformers themed zoids, but I'm pretty much going to redo them all for something else. #gunpla #zoids #kotobukiya

This Dragonar Dreu kit was a funny little one, mostly because of how straightforward it was for an 80's kit. Did do some minor mods on the legs and swapped out the hands, but other than that, its mostly the same. Making it the same colors as Macross VF-1J was accidental though #gunpla #gundam

Digging in the archives and found this funny little experiment I did. Basically I wanted to try a 2-tone topcoat effect for the black to see how it worked. Turns out it worked well if you don't mind not top coating your kit. the gold was accidental by mixing regular and titanium gold #gunpla #gundam

Ah, this build that I did for a contest: If the concept of disappointment was made into a custom model kit. The idea was somewhat solid, but the last stage execution ended up a train wreck. Definitely going to be redone completely with new parts and an actual brain #gunpla #gundam #kitbash

And now for something different: first time working on these Frame Arm Girls and mostly did this for a contest. Always wanted to do an astronaut themed build but had to sacrifice a Metal Armor Dragonar kit to do it. The drone was made using a Christmas bauble #gunpla #framearmgirls #kotobukiya

Dug into my archives and found this custom gouf I did. If I remember right, this was my attempt at a Thunderbolt ver and required a lathe to work the turbofan covers. will likely rework the backpack and make them jet engine based rather than turbofans among other new ideas #gunpla #gundam #kitbash

If basic was a thing for me, this custom fits the bill. Since this Jesta came to me without any of it's stuff and backpack, I just bobbled a few parts together and salvaged a part from a failed custom attempt and used it for the backpack. Somehow, I got this kit sold for $70 #gunpla #gundam #kitbash

MG zeta "Iron Commando". When I got this kit it lacked an arm and it's backpack so I cobbled some parts together and accentuated the missing arm bit a la Exia Repair 1. I have plans on refining this kit as usual to my posts, though it'll be modest upgrades/changes mostly. #gunpla #gundam #kitbash

If I remember right, this Homeworld Taiidan Empire Geara Doga and petit'guy was the 3rd kit I ever did and the one were my customization was far more chaotic on the front end. If I can find the parts, I'd like to refine this build in the future and rework the LED system #gunpla #gundam #Homeworld

Another from the archives: MG Hyaku Shiki Kai themed after Homeworld (namely the Taiidan Republic from Cataclysm). Did this one for a contest and was rather straightforward since this predated my building doctrine. The turquoise was a nightmare to deal with though. #gunpla #gundam #plamo #homeworld

Another from the archives, this Battletech Locust kitbash using the Crusher Joe Ostall kit. The original kit's legs were too scrawny to fit the look so I kitbashed gundam parts and got it to match the modern Locust design. was also the first time doing a snow setting #gunpla #battletech #mechwarrior

Digging into the archives and found this Frankenstein kitbash that I forgot the name of. I do remember using lots of scrap gunpla parts and fusing them onto an IBO frame and experimented with a super flat aluminum paint. I'll most likely going to turn it into 2 kits in time. #gunpla #kitbash #plamo

Now for an Elden Ring based custom, specifically the cleanrot knights. experimented the idea of using metallics for gradients, namely gold to copper. I know for sure this guy won't survive the international move, but I have plans on fixing/retooling this custom. #gunpla #plamo #kitbash #eldenring

And here's that ship I mentioned in my last post: the Fledermaus from Ma.k. This was an old 80's kit so it had lots of issues that needed fixing. I also replaced the cockpit with a scratch built AI core as the former was lacking. #plamo #ma.k #maschinenkreiger #gunpla

Other than Gundam and my frankenstein grade kitbashes I also do other scifi stuff. For this case, here are some of my Ma.K. suits that I've done as part of a set based off of the Spacers from Brigador. there's also a vehicle for them, but that's for next post.. #plamo #maschinenkreiger #Ma.K

Ah, Rust Jackal: the one that got me into my unhinged, Frankenstein fueled kitbashing ways and helped me to stop being afraid of extreme experimenting on kits. I hold dear to to this one but still gonna refresh it with better joint covers, a base and a fresh paint scheme #gunpla #kitbash #plamo

kinda embarrassing to post this one,but eh. This Sinanju Bayonetta ver was done well before my current doctrine of customizing/kitbashing, but I still did some experiments with it. Currently debating on whether or not to remaster this kit under my current customizing doctrine #gunpla #gundam

And now for something rather different from my archives: this old 80's kit I customized. I used this kit as a test bed for what would be my future kits and foray into other 80's era kits (that I have lots of). Just did some basic adjustments and focused on enhancing the kit. #gunpla #plamo #kitbash

Entering in my older works, this one being a Frankenstein fueled kitbash that predates my Killroy kitbash. Definitely see room for overhauling and will most likely end up taking it apart and making 2 kits out of it TBH....will absolutely reinstate the red color for it though #gunpla #gundam #kitbash

Alright, this is the last of my more recent kit pics before I dredge up the older ones that aren't embarrassing: the MG Zaku 1; had fun contorting this old kit into the more modern interpretation. First time tying in a resin figure and the first for my "fixed Joint Rule" for customs #gunpla #gundam

Now for a project that was surprisingly straightforward for me, the RE 1/100 Efreet "space type". for this one I kept the mod work to a minimum workload wise while using a major part from a failed kitbash for its backpack. Colors were a slight spin on Zeon grunt colors too. #gunpla #gundam #kitbash

Here's the very last build I've done before starting my long timed international move, the MG Nu Gundam. Always wanted to do an AoZ themed Nu and decided to jump into the idea. Upon deeper retrospect, she needs better detailing and a better pose so will get to it when I'm able to #gunpla #gundam

Now for a Gundam kit that took me a year and a half to complete and tried to kill me every step of the way: the MG GP02. Of all the kits I've done so far (and haven't posted here yet) THIS one was an absolute nightmare to do...but I got payed $100 for it so can't complain too much #gunpla #gundam

Another of my recent-ish builds, and Killroy here demonstrates my deranged model building/kitbashing habits nowadays. made from random gundam kit parts fused together with a Crusher Joe kit as the head. Probably going to re-base this one and add a 1/20 figure when the move is done. #gunpla #gundam

Testing...testing. Currently stuck in a long international move that'll last until next year so I cannot do my usual model building work. Until then, I'll post my older works in no specific order starting with my proudest one here. Ah FYI, yes I'm Magic Murder Bag on r/Gunpla. #gunpla #gundam
