Thanks for the info.

I’ve done 4 RG’s from Wing. They all had extras. I’ve got 2 Heero, 1 Zechs, and 1 Tres from those and I’ve got Amuro from 0079.

I built a Shenlong and a Deathscythe back when you could by glue together models at Walmart. Wing was still on Toonami to give you an idea of how long ago this was.

If you want to dm me, I’ll send you the 1/144 peeps that I have.

Not pictured, I have 4or 5 1/144 peeps too. I think every RG kit I built came with one seated pilot and one standing person. Every MG I’ve built has come with those 2 at a minimum and sometimes extra standing figures.

I’ve got something in the works on that front

The new PGU Nu Gundam can be pre-ordered for $650. I think it’s supposed to release in January ‘26 at an msrp of ¥66,000 ($455)

It’s floating around $250-300 USD. It’s hard to justify dropping that much on a hobby in one hit.

I really want an MGEX unicorn, but the wife says “that’s too much money for a plastic robot”

The paint in question was Createx 5131 Transparent White. The top coat was Mr Super Clear Matte. There was 23ish hours between the last coat of color and the application of topcoat.

Edit: So I looked up the data sheet for the paint in question, and based on temp and humidity I should have waited at least 48 hours before topcoat. I will sand everything down, repaint and try to topcoat again after waiting 2 days.

I thought “I don’t need to spray a spoon to test the color. I’ll just spray white until I cant see color change.” I thought wrong

PSA: Don’t be like me. If you’re using a new product for the first time, spray a test panel. Unless you want to watch your paint wrinkle 10 minutes after spraying top coat.

“Build Gunpla” they said “It’s all Unicorns and Iron Flowers” they said They were WRONG

Here’s some white parts. Who knows what kit they’re part of?

It’s an MG Jegan that is in the middle of a color change

 

MG Exia Recirculation MG Aile Strike Recirculation MG RX 78-2 Recirculation

I love the black + bold color on these recirc kits. I’m working on the full MG Set. I know I still need the Barbatos and Wing. Are there any others?

MG Astray Turn Red

I’m finished. Paint, top coat, panel liner, and water slides all done.

 

What are you folks working on currently?

I didn’t have time to take a pic before work today, but I finished painting the Turn Red and it’s ready for decals.

I don’t know if it’s nationwide, but I saw this at a hobby lobby yesterday and couldn’t pass it up. I got an MG Jegan and with the discount it became the cheapest MG I’ve got. It seems like a great discount, but I think it works out to being MSRP or slightly less.

 

Another group shot. From left to right: RG Tallgeese HG Heavyarms RG Wing Zero EW RG RX-178 Gundam MK II Titans RG RX 78-2 Gundam RG Epyon HG Shenlong MG Shin Musha Gundam

 

What was your least favorite build and why?

Mine was RG RX-78-2. It is a hand grenade. It will fall to pieces if you look at it wrong.

 

Pictured is an MG Barbatos that I installed an LED kit from EvansDesigns. After my issues with Imgur earlier and the learning the lemm.ee restricts file size on uploads, I’ve made an account on ani.social and will continue posting from there instead.
