Gem for gunpla

I wanted to put a small real emerald on a Gundam model, and synthetic gems seem a good way to save money. Is there a reliable marketplace?

At work Building my first "entry grade", and it's blowing me TF away!

The parts snap so easily and cleanly I hardly need to clean up anything, the color separation is fantastic, and guys, the way they made the eyes POP without paint or stickers, just by clever use of gaps, is fantastic.

Btw, it's the Nu Gundam. Cheers.

AI made me a Necro Guyver.

Not gonna tag it as "fan art" for obvious reasons, but it's cool to have a way to quickly visualize a concept. I'm gonna have my party find a g-unit, and I wanted to see what happened if their Necromancer used it. Next I'm gonna try their Aarakocra bard.

Modding the Michaelis

So I added parts from my 2nd copy to give it 2 super arms, moved the shields to the shoulders (they're removable and they'll get thrusters, if I can find 2 small enough to fit there), used some Wing Gundam legs to bulk up the skinny ones, and changed the backpack. Oh, and I gave it larger feet, which was a pain because I had to weld two different ball jointed parts together, and they were a bitch to align properly 😅

Just built this kit at work

I have another one at home (they were on sale on Alix), should I give it 2 power arms? Also I wanted to reinforce the cockpit, it looks way too exposed. And I don't know what model it is, because I got them without box.
