MG GTO RX-78-2

No full photoshoot yet, since I haven't finished all its weapons, but here's a brief look at #MasterGrade #GundamTheOrigin #rx_78_2. The LED looks really good in decent light, and it's super bright in the dark (maybe a bit too bright; might paint the inside of the top of its head to keep the light from bleeding through).

I won't complain too much about the hands (again), but I do wish they had included some fixed pose holding hands.

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)

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 in Bit-On form (all the pieces of the shield separately attached to the frame)

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

Thank you everyone who responded to this poll. Looks like I'll make a 1:100 scale Grandaddy #Gundam next. I'll be happy to get the light unit off my work bench, if nothing else.

Epyon got 2nd, so it'll be next (with a potential break for the MG Ver. Ka Ball).

A collage of promotional images for 3 Gundam model kits. The MG GTO RX-78-2 is on a large pane to the left. The RG Gundam Epyon in the top right pane. The HG RfV Gundam EX is on the bottom right pane.

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.

The HG GQuuuuuuX crouched down, holding a shield in front of its body and aiming its rifle at the viewer. Its left eye camera is just visible.

The HG GQuuuuuuX leaping toward the viewer brandishing its heat hawk. It is holding its rifle in its left hand pointed toward the ground. The blade of the heat hawk has been painted aluminum.

Ooh I didn't know Mastodon supported polls.
Alright, since I finished HG GQuuuuuuX last weekend and am topcoating it today, which kit should I build next?

Lets fuckin go, dude

#gunpla #gundam #modelkits #anime

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.

Gundam soooon. First one! Wish me luck when it arrives.

It looks like I haven't shared my #GundamArtifact builds yet. These are the only two I have fully painted, but I have another two assembled awaiting paint and two in box.

https://breezewiki.catsarch.com/gundam/wiki/Gundam_Artifact

The first is the RMS-099 Rick Dias in 4 Citadel colors, and the second is RX-160S Byarlant Custom in 3 of those same colors with GSI's Gundam White. Both are on Star Wars Legion bases.

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).

#gunpla #mecha #modelkits #gundam #GWitch #GundamWitchFromMercury

The HG Zowort riding the HG Tickbalang (personal transport vehicle) on a stand. The Zowort is down on one knee holding a raised stability bar.

The HG Zowort holding onto the HG Tickbalang (personal transport vehicle). The Tickbalang is on a stand, but the Zowort is holding on without any support from underneath.

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)

Finally got a Haro model kit! #Haropla is pretty neat. It includes the PC Mode, and the included stand doubles as part storage.

HG Grimgerde for scale

#gunpla #modelkits #Gundam #GundamAGE

A non-scale Haro on a stand with arms and legs outstretched and mouth slightly open. Haro looks somewhat like a green and red Pac Man with tube arms, circular feet, and circular ears.

A non-scale Haro on a base with its "ears" lifted and its mouth close. Haro looks like a green and red Pac Man with circular ears and a curved mouth.

A non-scale Haro with its mouth fully opened to display its "PC Mode". Where the tongue should be looks a lot like a keyboard, and the roof of the mouth looks similar to a monitor.

A non-scale Haro on a clear stand with its arms out directly beside the HG Grimgerde. It is slightly larger than the torso of the Grimgerde.

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.

#gunpla #mecha #modelkits

The HG Moon Gundam kneeling on one knee with an open hand appearing to prepare to catch it if it falls. The other arm is braced against its knee.

The HG Moon Gundam balancing on one leg with its arms and other leg spread out wide.

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).

#gunpla #mecha #modelkits

The HG Moon Gundam on a black stand holding its beam axe in a defensive posture. It is holding its rifle toward the air in its other hand, and its "moon" is folded in half behind it.

The HG Moon Gundam advancing toward the viewer with a rifle aimed at them. Its beam boomerang is deployed but still attached to its arm, and the "moon" is in crescent moon form behind it.

The HG Moon Gundam in a defensive posture using two sections of its "moon" as a shield. Its other hand is holding up its beam axe as if preparing to attack.

A basic storage picture today. Almost all of the kits I've put together on my 3D printed Multiboard.

I edited the Multiboard pegs and hooks to fit each of the types of stands I have (including the Action Base 5, Good Smile Simple Stand, and the stands that come with the G Frames). MG Z'Gok can look a bit silly flying, so it is on a surprisingly stable Multiboard shelf.

I finally sprayed some Dullcote on my #RealGrade Wing Gundam Zero EW, so here it is with all its stickers and (Delpi) decals.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Most of my complaints come from the technology of the time it was released. The final result looks fantastic, though, so I won't complain too much.

HG Grimgerde for size comparison.

The RG Wing Gundam Zero EW posed on a stand with its wings spread open. It is holding both of its beam sabers, and looks like it is twisting toward a target.

A size comparison of the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW (left) and the HG Grimgerde (right). The Wing Gundam comes up to roughly the chest of the Grimgerde, despite both kits being in the same scale.

This was my first #MasterGrade kit: the MG Z'Gok (Commander Type) from 2003. He was a super fun kit, and the first one I've used dry decals on. They look like they were painted on! I chose not to paint the internal pilot figure, but a quick oil wash brought out most of the details that would matter anyway.

These are also my first pictures in my homemade light box, although they were taken later in the day than I would like (less light).

I'm about 95% done with my custom color #EntryGrade RX-93 Nu #Gundam after roughly 4 months of working on it off and on. I used an airbrush to paint and topcoat it. I also used homemade oil panel line washes; the gray one turned out terribly, as you'll probably notice if you zoom in.

Shame on Bandai for not including a beam effect, though. I had to mutilate one of the extras I had to make it fit.
