OH MY GOD IT'S FINALLY DONE 😭 Well...no not really it still miss the bits, but the biggest part of the Elmeth is done after 3 weeks✨ Im so proud of myself ! ~~~ #Gundam #Gunpla

Panel-lined to see how the scribing is going. It's goin' #gundam #gunpla

the answer to “what kind of gunpla kit should i start with?” should always be “whatever $20 kit you think looks badass”

MG 1/100 - MS-06J Zaku II Some poses of my recently finished MG Zaku II. I wanted to be able to show off its great internal frame, so skeletonizing the armor on the left side allowed an awesome view of its mechanics. #gunpla #gundam #zakuii #zeon #airbrush #customgunpla

It's nice to make some incremental modeling progress at the end of a long day. #Gundam #gunpla

Finally completed the leg saga of my custom Pscho Gundam MK II project... so much scribing. I'm looking forward to moving onto the skirt armor, just for something different. #gunpla

Still scribing these Psycho Gundam legs, what keeps me going is how neat this will look with paint. #gunpla

I rather enjoy Gunpla.

Scribtacular weekend, finally got to this beast of a section on the Psycho Gundam Mk-II, from the plan I made back in January (!). #gunpla

First crack at a diorama! HG Barbatos Lupus Rex! #gunpla #gundam #diorama

Another, uh... Ball pic. Here he is, being a helpful little guy. #Gundam #gunpla

Another better overview shot of the MG Ball without the twin cannon. The last one was a little out of focus, but was hard to tell on a smaller screen. I'm sure there are arcane optic reasons for it, but the higher zoom on my S26 is easier to get focused. #gundam #gunpla

MSZ-006X-AT Stratoscreamer High-Altitude Atmospheric Interceptor / Hunter-Killer Prototype 高高度大気圏迎撃機／ハンターキラー試作機 My custom HG Zeta Gundam variant designed for high-altitude interception duties! #ScaleModel #gunpla #ガンプラ #Mecha #AoZApril

It's neat that the RB-79K comes with the option for the 180mm cannon, but it looks pretty weird after you get used to the twin guns. I got a little lazy with the weathering since its a bonus part. #gundam #gunpla

I finally finished my custom 1/100 Master Grade RB-79K (as featured in 08th MS Team). I have too many pictures to choose from, but here are some to start. #gunpla #ガンプラ #gundam

Many more to come, but here's a nice Ball shot from today. I still have some more poses to try! #gunplaphotography #gunpla #gundam #ガンプラ

Getting close to the end of the Ball... the photo booth is coming soon but here's a teaser. #gunpla #gundam #ガンプラ

Weathering the MG Ball is going OK I'd say. Always takes a hot minute to be able to hand-paint scratches again after a hiatus. #gunpla #gundam #ガンプラ

This is the ugliest stage of a #gunpla project for me: the post-decal gloss top coat. Everything is shiny and showing every defect, and nothing is weathered or panel-lined. But it'll come together soon enough! #Gundam

I must be some sort of horrible gunpla pervert in that I actually enjoy the process putting of decals on a model

With a spray of smooth matte top coat, it's done! Gundam artifact 3, stark jegan in original msv colours Overall I say it's less enjoyable then painting Warhammer minis but it does look very detailed. Next time I will scribe and seam seal #ガンダムアーティファクト#gundam #gundamartifact #gunpla

1/60 Old #Zaku #Gundam #Gunpla

Arms. I'm deep in decal territory on the MG Ball. #Gundam #gunpla

I confirmed it is in fact impossible to build an MG ball without painting the inner frame detail #gunpla #gundam

Took a shot at a heat-damaged barrel effect. Maybe a little too vivid, but that's what washes are for, hopefully. #gunpla #gundam #weathering #scalemodel

The Düsseldorf gunpla haul. A fun find was the HGUC ZZ at Rune Store to go with the Psycho Gundam Mk II. Everything else is from the Gundam Base, which was glorious.

#Gundam #Gunpla

I have seen, I have seen, I have seen the Promised Land! Not great for the backlog but a nice birthday trip nonetheless. #gundam #gunpla

Im actually setting up my gunpla display for the first time since I moved here and after touching this guy again I just want to remind ya’ll, If you think that it’d be a cool idea to paint dazzle camo on a mobile suit, it is, but don’t do it. Just d o n’ t 🫠

Priming the Ball: before and after. I'm probably going to do some secondary coats for the metallic and red parts since gray isn't great for those. The gray pieces were funny/tricky, the plastic was Mr Surfacer gray out of the box. #gunpla #gundam

Enhanced my Ball with some bling. Tried out some photo etch parts I've been sitting on, and threw in some pla plate for good measure. I still need to clean up the black rubberized superglue - it seems to work pretty well, but I want to try the thinner kind since its pretty gloopy. #gunpla #gundam

I went Ball to the wall and finished assembly (including seamline removal) before dinner. I dream of painting tomorrow but we'll see. #Gunpla #gundam #ball

In big messy font right below: "You are... BALL"

Gonna take a break from my big project and try a bit of a speedrun with this little guy. #Gundam #gunpla

Slowly scribing my way along the Psycho Gundam Mk-II - once I settle on a pattern it goes a lot quicker, but getting a design I like takes a while. #gunpla #ガンプラ

Mass production isn't all fun and glory... finished all of these extra detail bits for my Psycho Gundams. It's my my first time doing this much scrapbuilding. They aren't perfectly identical, but close enough that on a painted and weathered model you wont notice (I hope!). #gunpla #ガンプラ

Printed some more photos and now have a full-on collage of gunpla pictures (plus one tank). Feels a little ironic that this is in the same room as the display case containing most of the subjects. #Gundam ##gunplaphotography

Before and after on some (mostly) scrap-built rear leg detail for the Psycho Gundam. Only six more go go! #gunpla

The insanity of custom building: I don't like how this completely unnoticeable detail looks even though no other human would ever even pretend to care, and I'm going to fix it #gunpla #gundam

Before and After Custom Color - HG ZZ Gundam Custom Panel lines, Decals, Fully painted #gunpla #gundam #ガンプラ

Making little extra handmade gunpla detail seems so cool, until you realize you have to do it 7 more times (okay, 6, one is in a destroyed section). #Gundam #scalemodel

In gunpla, you know you're getting seasoned when your pile of extra parts is itself another giant backlog. Some of these go back to the 2000ish - heck, there are two generations of FAZZ in here among other deep runner lore. #Gundam #scalemodel

"Mr. Glemy, I don't feel so good..." - Psycho Gundam Mk 2 areas marked for removal. I won't actually be hacking away until I finish most of the base scribing to match the "healthy" version. #gunpla #ガンプラ

Gunpla

Where we're at vs. where we're going. This is going to be fun, I promise. #gunpla #ガンプラ #gundam

What's crazy is that this is my second one... the plan is to mark up the "destroyed" sections so I don't waste time scribing them before I rip them apart. #Gundam #gunpla #scalemodel

In Germany it's really easy and cheap to make prints, so obviously the first thing I tried is some #gunplaphotography - and I figure I might as well frame it and put it in the workspace... #gundam

Detailing before and after for some Psycho Gundam feet (I did two, two more to go). Got some good time with my new DSPIAE tools. Now all I have to do is work my way up the mobile suit... #gunpla

Now that I'm back from a couple trips, I can finally take inventory of all the new stuff I bought for my gunpla #GBWC project, including paints, Bandai™ decals, scribing tools, and builder parts. I'm still salty about having to use Bandai decals, hopefully they aren't as bad as I remember.
