1/3 RX-78F00 with GRLSS Aka color correction hell. Seriously, the amount of color correcting on this kit was ridiculous, but I can't complain about the result. Despite this being a novelty buy, it looks fantastic in person and has incredible shelf presence. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

1/2 HG Jegan ECOAS Type This one took a while as I tried a new painting technique. Honestly, maybe I was too cowardly to really let it shine through, or too heavyhanded with the subsequent steps, but either way it looks more or less like I normally build. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

1/4 More uma shenanigans. Base kit is a 30MS Belveria-Berys. Kit-bashed parts include RG 2.0 Gramps, 30MM propellant tank, and a Demi Trainer gun. Some parts were fabricated (ahoge, parts of her hip thrusters) or modified (shoulder/ankle armor). #gunpla #gunplacommunity #umamusume

More horsegirl shenanigans. WIP 30MS Belveria-Berys + RG 2.0 Gramps parts + 30MM parts + WfM gun + PVC toy horse. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity #umamusume

1/2 My grunt army grows with this fun GM III build. A comfort build with detailing and color correction, and weathering done by marker. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

1/2 1/100 ZZA GUS The Gus is supposed to be an up-designed Jesta, but I couldn't help but feel the original color scheme was too busy. This is my attempt to let the kit's surface details do the talking. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

1/3 KO Gundam Zirius. Such a cool design that I had to build it. Typical Ki problems, but this gave me a chance to practice some heavier weathering than I usually do. #gunpla #gundam #gundamcommunity

1/2 Take 2. I don't think my original photos did this kit justice. I also think it made me a bit pessimistic. Back to my black background. Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Cornelius Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage's Gyan (I forgot how ridiculous his full name is.)

1/2 HG Xavier's Gyan in Sol 1's livery. Ok, that's a lot. Sol 1 is the main enemy ace in Ace Combat 7. I was looking for something to do with this Gyan, and the news of Ace Combat 8 got me excited. That said it came out ok? More in the next post. #gunpla #gundam #acecombat7

1/2 A palate cleanser after a few more complicated builds, but also a chance to try out a new (to me) varnish. Liquitex Matte Varnish thinned 1:1 with Liquitex Airbrush Medium. Great finish and even greater value proposition. #gundam #gunpla #gunplacommunity

The Mandalorian and Grogu was a lot more fun and entertaining than I was expecting. Get ready to say awwww a lot! Also, the theater had this swanky cantina set up. #starwars #themandalorianandgrogu

1/2 Man am I glad this build is over. I can't argue with the end results, but literal blood, sweat and tears in this one. Poor fitment and missing details are probably the biggest offenders here, but this really emphasizes how much more I enjoy HG kits. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

1/2 Birthday build! I was stymied by this kit for a while but I was struck by some sudden inspiration in the form of Starfield. I haven't touched Starfield since it basically came out, but one thing I really enjoyed was the NASA-punk aesthetic. Cont... #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

1/3 Plamo Loving Alien's 1/100 Amuro Use Jieda Or Jeda (or Jeddah). A fun build that made me miss Bandai's clever engineering. Still great value for something with menacing shelf-presence. #gunpla #gundam #gunplacommunity

A quick, palate cleansing build after an effort build earlier this month (which I'll post in a bit). There's something very comforting about this iteration of HGs. I barely needed the manual for this one. #gunpla #gundam

1/4 Oh boy here we go. More UmaMusume shenanigans. I present my best, honest-to-goodness attempt at making my oshi Full Armor Matikanefukukitaru. While I built her for a contest, I'd already had this cooking in my mind for a while. #girlpla #plamo #umamusume #matikanefukukitaru #gunpla

Calibarn + Mirasoul Flight Unit WfM kits never miss (except for the c-clips on the VRR thrusters). I'm glad to finally have a Calibarn on my shelf. The MFU is from Anubis Design Studio, and I love how it bulks up the shelf presence. 1/2 #gunpla #gundam #witchfrommercury

What a time to be alive! Umamusume on the big screen at a major cinema chain? Such a feast for the eyes, and a lovely story to boot. A shout out to @eelbeats.bsky.social who gave me this lovely sticker. #umamusume #beginningofanewera #ウマ娘プリティーダービー #新時代の扉

1/2 More Uma shenanigans. Inspired by someone on Reddit, I've been waiting to get this painted up. It's a fun melding of my two current hobbies. Last pic shows some mods to get an Action Base to work while clearing her tail. Flying poses in the follow up post. #gunpla #gundam #umamusume

A few days ago I realized just how cluttered my workspace has become. Most things needed something else moved to be accessed. I don't have a lot of space to spread out, but I do have space to go up. So a 4-tier wire shelf later, and I feel like I've accomplished my goal of improving efficiency.

1/4 Bocata's GM...(cough)...Gelgoog Dominance. Anubis option parts don't miss, and for now this is as close as I get to one of my dream kits. Anubis parts close up in the follow up posts. #gunpla #gundam #GQuuuuuuX

1/2 Finally built the Moon Gundam. Fantastic kit, and one of the best HG kits IMO. No surprises as I'd built the Varguil last year, and it's nice to have the Varguil > Moon Gundam > Sazabi progression. #gunpla #gundam

1/3 Revisited an old kit I built in 2023 with a new (to me) weathering technique, using a Gundam weathering pen and a melamine sponge. These first set of pics are the tools and the before pics. Sadly, not many and not great angles. #plamo #nausicaa

1/3 Another Jenius build. I have a love-hate relationship with the Macross kits. On one hand, they make such sleek-looking kits, especially in fighter mode. On the other hand, the color-correcting stickers (or decals) are hard to apply nicely. #plamo #macross #macrossdelta #vf31c

My second year back in the hobby, and it's been fun. I built a lot, got burnt out a bit, and really started upping my custom game. For next year, I'd like to try pre-shading a kit, and certainly more customs. Here's to 2026! Happy building folks! 1/3 January to April

1/2 Last build of the year, and my holiday builds complete. Inspo from Alphonse from Patlabor, which of course just uses Japanese National Police livery, abd specifically my second hometown Fukuoka. #gunpla #gundam #GQuuuuuuX

1/2 Holiday build 1 complete. Simplified GQuuuuuuX, inspired by (but not color matched to) the G3. ...or to even the base colors. But I wanted something relatively easy to do. 3d printed backpack and rifle extension from Ali Express. #gunpla #gundam

🤔🤔🤔 #gunpla #gundam #30minutessisters #umamusume #tokaiteio

1/2 Zaku Amazing Custom complete. Had a last minute fumble with chipped paint on the right thigh, but I'll add a bit of silver there for some weathering. Overall fun, but man the Zaku II is hard to pose. What you see here is pretty much the limit. #gunpla #gundam

KO Pale Rider Titans D II. Or actually, a mash-up of it, the heavy weapon ground type, and the space type. A worthy (if poorly painted) addition to my grunt squad. I think I may need to add a Lightning Buster to my backlog. Extra comments in the Alt text for some of the pics. #gunpla #gundam
