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]-.

[NOTE: unable to do more builds until house is finished by Nov 2026] Plastic model builder and certified mad scientist kitbasher specialized in Gundam, robots and other scifi induced machinery. My usual tags: #gunpla #gundam #plamo #kitbash #modelkit
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
