GFrame Blitz Gundam (Day 5)
Yeah, kinda dragging the bottom of the barrel. Here's my poorly edited picture of my GFrame (gunpla candy) Blitz Gundam. This was another of my early kits. I love the color scheme, and the included weapons are fantastic. Definitely gonna get the MG one day.
@TallonMetroid And that's actually an old picture. I don't have the shelf space for this hobby :blobcatnotlikethiscry:
@gunpla And the second picture for Lemmy

HG Shenlong Gundam (Day 4)
I don't have many decent pictures of it, but here's my #HighGrade Shenlong #Gundam with some embroidery tools. The second picture is of it in a customize scene base.
@gunpla I keep forgetting that Lemmy doesn't show the other photos
HGGBB Gundam Livelance Heaven (Day 3)
This is actually one of my first kits, but I had never taken any photos of it. I figured this attempt at a streak was a good excuse to snap some.
I *love* this kit. The cloaked paladin to seraphim transformation is my favorite part. If I had the chance to redo this kit, I'd paint the sticker spots and use some legitimate panel lining fluid instead of my homemade gray.
@Akaru88 And here I was complaining about the color of the beam javelin. Surely the SB-13 runner they used in the Full Weapon Set wouldn't have cost that much to add to the original.
@Akaru88 This is the Full Weapon Set version, so it comes with a few extras. Really the only reason I bought it. It looks like the beam rifle and shield are the same, but I can't tell if the normal EG comes with any beam effects. Mine came with two, so I robbed one for my EG nu custom.
EG RX-78-2 Assembled (Day 2)
It is fully assembled now. My current idea is to gloss coat the whole thing (maybe after painting the eyes and head cameras) and then start into the battle damage process. We'll see how far I actually go with it.
The kit itself is a study in plastic optimization and not a terrible copy of the Grandad.

@wirelesswire I've been looking at the HGGQ Red Gundam just for that articulated Gundam Hammer
@TallonMetroid Yeah I honestly had assumed it was a weapon I hadn't seen yet until I read the box again. There's no way I can paint it clear, but maybe I'll do a metallic pink at some point in the future.
EG RX-78-2 Full Weapon Set (In Progress)
I'll try to continue Akaru's streak for a few days, but my building schedule isn't terribly consistent and I'm out of existing photos.
I mainly bought this kit for the weapons. I have the RG 2.0 sitting in the box, but I love the Gundam Hammer and I think the Beam Javelin is pretty neat. Since this would be Granddad # 4, I figure I'll use it to practice battle damage and weathering.
RG Gundam Epyon (In Progress)
Somewhat of a progress update on my #RealGrade #Gundam Epyon build. I'm working on the decals, but it is very slow going (this picture was taken mid June).
HGAC Leo
I took a break from (not) putting decals on Epyon to build a quick kit and grabbed #highgrade Leo. I was concerned it wouldn't turn out well, but I'm very happy with it.
HG Aerial for scale
@Akaru88 That looks fantastic! Wonderful metallic color. I'd be tempted just to display it like that (although I just love Zaku and Zaku adjacent suits)
MG RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball Ver. Ka
Ball! :blobcataww:
No decals yet, and I'm considering painting the internal cage structure gunmetal (although I don't plan to display its inner frame). The 3(!) pilot figures that came with it have to be painted, too. Long term, it'll probably live on my desk at home or at work.
(Quick detour; I'll get started on Epyon next)
@MyDarkestTimeline01 Thank you! I really enjoyed the build *cough besides the hands cough*.
MG GTO RX-78-2 (Complete)
I finally finished all the weapons for the #MasterGrade #GundamTheOrigin #RX_78_2. This thing has so many extras. I didn't even show off any of the effect pieces in this photoshoot. The shoulder cannon is a neat addition to the design (compared to MSG), and I really like the new beam rifle. Overall, a fantastic kit.
I do still need to paint the pilot figures, but at this point I have a handful that I'll paint all at once.
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.
@Endmaker I guess since the backpack can store them they figured they would let the Mirasoul store them, too. It looks really good.
Not sure if Lemmy shows all 4 pictures; there's one where she's holding one of the beam sabers while it is attached to the Mirasoul

Edit: Hm, trying to mix formatting between platforms isn't working
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)
@tamiya_tt02 GQuuuuuuX is such a good kit! I don't have the Seed Z'Gok, but my MG Z'Gok was pretty fun with all the tubes.
