r/Gunpla

Took me about 10 hrs, working on it in 10 min chunks at a time. Made my 12 hr day really enjoyable. 10/10 will do again.

I am trying to make a scene: the bullet teared the round surface and expose the inner frame

I followed my pencil line to cut the parts but then the entire part snapped and yeeted.

Now I have clean triangular part of the top left which doesn't make any sense.

How should I fix it into more realistic bullet mark?

this kit no need a decal, I like it for what it is for the anime accurate look. the verka decal is too crowded. Also tried my best to pose this iconic scene

Been going through a lot lately.

Only saving grace I have is Gunpla.

About the only thing that makes any sense anymore.

Decided to dive straight into the deep end with this one lol. I definitely underestimated how much work it was going to be but it was a great experience so I’m happy for it. Took quite some time to get to this point because I loved looking at the inner frame, which is why I didn’t put the armor on the left side. It remained without the armor for a few weeks, maybe a month and then I saw this post by u/GloomyVanilla which inspired me to “finish” the build, so credit to them for the sick ass pose, mine will stay like that for a lil while lol.

I wrote finish in quotation marks because there’s definitely some work to be done to fully finish it, during the build process I accidentally snapped the section that the left side rail gun clicks into so that was fun. At least now I know how to repair parts so that’s something, regardless I had so much fun building this so it’s safe to say Im hooked.

If you have any suggestions for master grade kits that would be great to learn to customize on please feel free to let me know. I want to eventually panel line and paint my mgex so I’ll practice everything on others before that.

Im excited to finally be a part of this community and look forward to seeing everybody’s builds on the timeline, you all inspired me to get into this hobby so thank you!!

Amuro, I'm grilling something extremely wicked.

I've been swamped with stuff so I haven't had a chance to share pictures from our club's annual Char-B-Que. This year we held it at Seneca Creek State Park. I think we had about 40 people in attendance (some had to dip before the group pics). We auctioned off a pile of kits with proceeds going to funding club activities and Fuck Cancer.

Yes, we're mindful about how we cut stuff so we're not leaving plastic nubs all over the place, we're not animals.

No, we didn't have crab cakes due to allergy restrictions, but we had plenty of Old Bay to go around.

If you're in our neck of the woods, come join our Discord and you can join in on stuff like this plus regular build meet ups!

I’m not sure where I fall between the type M01 and the original movie design, definitely like the shoulder armor on this one more, but prefer the redesign’s larger shield and less stout proportions. Either way, love me a Messer.

The kit was painted with a marker

Price: 168 RMB

Release Date: As soon as next week

MGEX Strike freedom is beyond, what i had in my mind when i bought it. This truly is a masterpiece from
Bandai.

Zeta Ver Ka with Studio 107 option parts.

This was his first real build. He did it a few months ago and chose the sparkly topcoat and everything himself! Also he said I should title it "Babies first pose".

Please be kind.

Thanks!

I only have built 3 gundams before this going from HG to MGEX and now this. Has anyone accidentally made errors on their PG that I should be careful about?

Just finished my MG Virtue! He is such a big and cool kit! I just straight built him, with some paints here and there, and highlighting the edges.

I have always used Vallejo topcoat up until now, thinking it’s the same with other topcoats. But man, I tried using a mrHobby topcoat, and the difference is crazy.

I know the stickers are abhorrent, but I couldn’t find any water slide decals for him, anywhere near me, so I just used the included stickers.

A friend gifted me Nu Gundam as birthday present, I myself bought Sazabi so they can pair. Have to say both of them gave me wonderful experience. I really enjoyed it.

Hey builders, newbie here. I started this hobby by accident, after stumbling over some awesome builds from rogue hobbies, thanks for that! I just wanted to get better at painting miniatures and found myself watching more and more gunpla builds.

And thanks to that I'm obsessed with Gundam.Having watched Wing as a kid, I kicked things off with TWFM, and since then I've binged MSG, Origin, and am almost done with Zeta.

The build was quite easy, sometimes it was a pain to get rid of the little leftover nubs on the parts which took ages to scrape and sand. Any tips on the antennas? I heard that a glass file gives a smoother shiny finish?
