I meant for this to be a chill build (which it was) after the LeSean Zaku kit wore me out a bit. I ended up getting carried away with decals as I always do and spent all day cutting them out and applying them lol. I’m happy with how it came out though!
I love water decals. And I have so so many of them. I also love keeping the manuals for kits. So a while back, I bought some archival, acid free inserts and keep them all in a binder now! It worked really great for a while but it is too full to close now lol. I figured I’d sh
@jagddogaWhen you're building Gunpla in which order do you build? Do you snap out all the pieces? Do you build the head first? Do you paint everything in the runners? What does building gunpla look like to you?
This isn’t a particularly recent build but is one of my favorites from 2025. I couldn’t tell you why but I built 20+ kits before I ever got around to building a Zaku and I sure do regret it. It was a ton of fun to build and is a super solid kit. I need to get my hands on the whit
@rememberthecantGenuinely quite impressed by the fact that only two layers will give you some pretty solid coverage over large areas. As you can see on the shoulders, accuracy is super tricky with these Gundam Ex. I did order some Dspiae markers, which are supposedly a lot better for precisi
This is a dated kit and definitely shows its age. I was so annoyed by the build that the painting and detail work got pretty sloppy as I just wanted it done. I really do love how it looks and am quite happy to have it on the shelf now.
@jagddogaYou know you have good friends when they are not Gunpla enjoyers but travel to the Gundam Base and pick you up models.
@rememberthecantI’ll start: I’m currently plugging away at an HG Aerial which I’m managing in roughly one hour increments… having a toddler will do that to you. Next up is the RG Sazabi, which I am VERY much looking forward to. I have to say I’m enjoying the Aerial quite a bit. I usually
This is the Steel Haze mecha and my first model I've done in years. I had a lot of fun picking up the snippers again. I have another Armored Core kit and (I believe) a HG EZ-8 to do next.
The RG RX-78-2 2.0 kits rule and are a blast to build, this is the second one I’ve done. This is also the first system base I’ve built and a bit of paint went along way!
@jagddoga@rememberthecantI started testing Gundam EX markers and I’m genuinely pleased with the results. I expected them to be thinner. They do a pretty great job of bringing up a shine on smaller parts. Anybody got any tips of using them on slightly larger surfaces with minimal streaking? I’
