HG Qubeley Revive

This is a pleasantly funky design and a fun build.

HGIBO Gundam Vidar

Super fun kit, as long as you go in expecting to do some painting. Gundam Color Phantom Gray and Gundam Marker Metallic Red were all I needed (besides my panel lining fluid), and I'm pretty happy with the result.

That said, any tips on how to apply the metallic Gundam markers more evenly?

HGBD:R Wodom Pod

This thing is so cute!

HG Demi Barding with Demi Trainer Expansion

I finished painting the expansion parts I wanted to except the open hands, so it was time for that photoshoot.

HG Demi Barding

I love this kit. I'll do a full photoshoot when I finish painting some bits from the Demi Trainer Expansion Parts set, but the little drone backpack is definitely a highlight. It even doubles as shoulder cannons, which are always nice.

I actually used every sticker, so the only paint is the panel lining and some silver behind the mono-eye.

HG Shenlong Gundam (Day 4)

I don't have many decent pictures of it, but here's my #HighGrade Shenlong #Gundam with some embroidery tools. The second picture is of it in a customize scene base.

HGGBB Gundam Livelance Heaven (Day 3)

This is actually one of my first kits, but I had never taken any photos of it. I figured this attempt at a streak was a good excuse to snap some.

I *love* this kit. The cloaked paladin to seraphim transformation is my favorite part. If I had the chance to redo this kit, I'd paint the sticker spots and use some legitimate panel lining fluid instead of my homemade gray.

HGAC Leo

I took a break from (not) putting decals on Epyon to build a quick kit and grabbed #highgrade Leo. I was concerned it wouldn't turn out well, but I'm very happy with it.

HG Aerial for scale

I wanted to do one last "HG Grimgerde for scale" before I took it home, so here's #HighGrade #Gundam Aerial with HG Grimgerde for scale. Aerial is actually a bit taller to the top of the head, but shorter when comparing bunny ears.

#gunpla #gundamibo #gwitch

The HG Gundam Aerial posed directly beside the HG Grimgerde. Aerial is waving to the viewer, while Grimgerde is in its usual S pose holding its gun.

HG Gundam Aerial and Mirasoul

While I waited on the results from my previous poll, I built the HG Gundam Aerial to go with my previously built HG Mirasoul. This was a very satisfying build, and a result I'm very happy with. No varnish was used on Aerial, but I had to topcoat the Mirasoul due to all the curved surface stickers.

I think this one will replace HG Grimgerde as my live-at-work kit.

(sorry for the upside down heels)

@gundam

#HighGrade #GWitch #hgtwfm #gunpla #gundam #modelkits

The HG Gundam Aerial (with upside down heels, whoops) advancing toward an opponent to the viewer's left. It is holding its shield in front of it and gripping a prepared beam saber hilt on the Mirasoul

The HG Gundam Aerial lunging toward the viewer, appearing to attack with (what I guess is) a beam bayonet (at this point).

A little later than I planned, but here's the #HighGrade #GQuuuuuuX. I love the design of this thing. The color separation of this kit is some of the best I've seen on an HG kit. My main complaint is the number of sticker applications over curved surfaces, but between #DelpiDecal and decal set & softener, I'm happy with the result.

Also, turns out that GSI Acrysion thinner eats through Vallejo matt varnish.

I finished the #HighGrade Barbataurus this past weekend, including the recommended matte varnish to tighten up the joints. It looks so cool. Color separation is fantastic. And a mecha centaur using a bow is just *chef's kiss*.

Not a fan of how they did the power symbol stickers; plastic color with foil on a kit I have to matte varnish means I just won't be using those stickers. I tried to cut the foil parts out but was not successful.

I got the decals on the #HighGrade Zowort and Tickbalang. Very happy with how Zowort turned out. A little less happy with Tickbalang, but that's mostly due to not knowing how to use Vallejo decal fix and softener well yet (I went back to the Testors decal fix for Zowort).

The HG Zowort on a stand in a defensive falling posture. You can clearly see many of the added decals (including the one ripped partially off from the first pose, on its left ankle)

Kind of a WIP: the #HighGrade Zowort. I say "in progress" because I have some decals I want to put on it and the Tickbalang I've built for it.

I am a *huge* fan of this design. I should be complaining about single jointed elbows and knees, but it just looks so good. And this thing has some of the best torso articulation I have ever seen.

More #HighGrade Moon #Gundam pictures, but silly this time.

I purchased the #HighGrade Moon #Gundam this past Saturday and was so excited to build it that I skipped my entire backlog and finished it last night.

It is honestly worth the premium price. The attention to detail is on par with a modern Real Grade, and it comes with enough accessories to keep me happy. Oh, and an entire Action Base 5, which are a good 20% of the sticker price of this kit (where I am, at least).

My first #RealGrade , the RG Wing #Gundam EW. I've assembled the wings, but more pictures will have to wait until I topcoat (one of the #DelpiDecal waterslides has already gotten rubbed off; whoops).

Bonus #HighGrade Shenlong Gundam included (from before I replaced the stickers on its shoulders with paint)

Another kit I finished this past weekend: the #HighGrade Grimgerde from #GundamIBO. I painted the tubes on its arms and legs to match the box art, but other than that all it needed was sticker application and panel lining.

It balances pretty well to have such small feet.

This one is a favorite design-wise: #HighGrade Barbatos Lupus from #Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans.

#modelkits #gunpla #GundamIBO

Here's one that was an unexpected challenge: the 2008 #HighGrade #Gundam Throne Drei from #Gundam00. The worst color accuracy I have seen yet; even with all its color correcting stickers it would have been mostly red. After a lot of color matching practice and some admittedly sloppy painting, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Definitely won't be buying any more HG kits from before IBO, though.
