Or did they? (cough, cough) Akatsuki 🥴🥴🥴

Anyone have any fix advice?

when you find a rare out of print HG for $35

I finished my first fully painted and scribed kit today! I learned so much from this project, and now I see why people say to get something simple for your first painted kit. I'm truly not a big fan of the Bawoo, I chose it from my backlog because if I messed it up I wouldn't care.

At the end of the day, I love how it turned out! Some areas aren't as clean as I wanted, like the backpack, but overall I'm pleased with the results. Now I never want to see a bawoo again.

Spotted on a MG Hi-Nu (2007)

Still, it was a great kit, especially for £30.

Time will tell if I end up with two Emperors, I guess.

Finally was able to pick this up for a steal of 150 cash!
I am definitely starting tonight no questions asked🙅🏽‍♂️

Do leave some tips!👇🏽

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!

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.

I just found the biggest score of my life. I found a zaku f2000 and a southern cross zaku at a yard sale here in socal for 20 bucks each. I feel bad for robbing them, Zaku f2000 gos for 120+ on ebay. Family was probably cleaning out some teens room out for college.

Moon Gundam hit my HL! One kit off my list before attending SacAnime! There was a MG Barbatos too, but was hesitant 😅

I am very tempted to buy the Narrative C Packs twice because it looks so good in both modes. What other kits deserve two or more builds?

I just applied a gloss undercoat on my RG Sazabi. I'm going to apply a final matte topcoat, but the gloss looks so good. Which do you guys prefer, matte or gloss?

My order from USAGS came in, but got worried when I saw a dent on my package. The runners and pieces are fine, but I still find it strange at times that they use Amazon for the shipping. At least 1 of the duplicates’ box are fine, was planning to make cards with them as a side project

I still like this little guy but Idk if its because this is my first moderoid kit or what but he's kinda janky no real problems tho.

I use to tell people I didn’t build 1/144 kits because they were too small since I’m an old guy. 😂 Finally I can break down these boxes now.
