I didn’t know that was happening. I always wondered why they had a limit of ten of the same item. I guess they should make it no more than 2. As far as I’m concerned, scalpers are scum just barely better than lawyers and cops.

HG Duel Blitz Gundam
Interesting. If I ever get a computer or printer, that might be a useful tool for the repertoire.
P-Bandai really is like crack for nerds.
Which Heavy Arms? Kai or IGEL?
Day 44 of posting about Gunpla
It’s discussion times again. What’s in your backlog?
I’ll go first. I don’t have a physical backlog in the traditional sense, but I am waiting on some stuff from P-Bandai. I have pre-ordered an MG Tallgeese Fluegel, MG Altron, and MG Unicorn Recirculation.
Thanks. There would have been a lot Tess free style is it was possible to by the real type decals in MG size
Day 43 of posting Gunpla
MG Gouf
Custom paint and scribing. There’s no decals on this kit. I was inspired by a picture I found of an HG Gouf 21st Century Real Type. It tool a week of painting after work to de-Smurf, but I’m fairly satisfied with the way it turned out. My ham hands broke the horn 3 times and an ab joint once. The horn was my fault, but the abs are a weak design and care should be taken.
I literally built it in 15 mins with no nippers as part of the event. The eyes and the cod piece are the only stickers.

EG RX-78-2
Somebody asked about entry grade a few days ago so here it is. I got it for free at The Gundam Base Mobile Tour 2024.
Thanks for the info. It came as part of a loot box so I never even looked at the product line. I just built a Dom.
Day 41 of posting Gunpla
It’s an HG Dom or Rick Dom. I’m not sure how to tell them apart and at this point I’m afraid to ask.
Day 39 of posting Gunpla
HG Zaku II 21st Century Real Type
It’s basically a normal Zaku II with a few different colors. It comes with water slides, but they are super thin and break really easily.
I think that would be the MEGA size Gundam at around 37 cm
Yes my friend there are. They can be had at most hobby shops for as little as $10US
I only had a panel liner back when I built this kit.

HGUC Char’s Zaku II
Nah. Autism/ADHD keeps them organized. I usually pull off all the armor then do the frame by section. Take one leg apart and paint it then put it back together. Then do the other leg. That way there’s always one to look at.
Bread pudding!!!
I personally assemble the kit so that I can decide on what needs paint then I take everything apart, paint it, and put it back together again. I have heard of people that paint will the parts on the runner then cut them out and assemble, but I don’t like that method because it leads to needing to notch up nub marks and it’s hard to get a good result that way.
All my favorite MS designs cam from EW
GM airbrush is my favorite airbrush. No clean up afterwards.
I would love to display it with no armor, but unfortunately, it’s Gundam Marker EX which doesn’t look the same after topcoat and doesn’t tolerate UV light very well either.
Day 35 of posting Gunpla
The frame is done on my MG Gouf.
This kit looks good with just panel lining and decals. Some kits “need” paint.
Super clean. Looks great.
As for anime wing RG, I started building 1/100 and never looked back. I just dug these guys out for photos because I posted all my MG’s and needed material for my daily post challenge
I have other stand arms, I just didn’t want to dig trough the bowl of spare parts to find one. This was closer at hand and it was only temporary. The 1/144’s generally live in a box in my shed. I borrowed the action base and parts from an mg I usually display.
Day 34 of posting Gunpla
All of the RG’s that I have from Wing
Day 32
RG Epyon. It was a fun build. Some of the smaller parts were a little finicky, but once it’s together it stays that way. Posing and transformation are really easy but everything feels pretty sturdy.
Day 31 of posting Gunpla
HGGBM Amazing Barbatos Lupus
Snap build and stock stickers.
Day 30 of posting Gunpla
I’ve started a new build. MG Gouf 2.0
Day 29 of posting Gunpla
MG Jegan
Full paint. Only the clear pieces didn’t change color. G-rework waterslides. The decal sheet is on par with ver. Ka kits I’ve built. So many waterslides in hard places. On compound curved surfaces. Over corners. Across panel gaps. Decals everywhere.
I feel like it could be piloted by someone with a name now and it’s no longer destined to be beam saber fodder.
Day 28 of posting Gunpla until I forget
The MG Jegan has finally done getting painted. I have a set of waterslides that it’s getting now. For everyone that has been keeping up with the situation, I ended up getting Gaia Notes #021 semi-gloss white thinned 1:1 with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. Everything came out nice and smooth. No topcoat will be applied because I like the shine level.
Day 27 of posting Gunpla
The MG Unicorn / MS Cage project is done!!! Complete with people from several different timelines.
