It's Critter Time!

i've been getting into gunpla a lot lately so i figured i'd make a thread to share my builds. feel free to post your own builds on gunpla or any similar model kits

the first kit i build is the hguc zeta since i've been watching that series, now it's become a testbed for trying out new techniques.

I always wanted to get into gunpla. I bought two kits a decade ago in Serbia, but I didn't have the tools/know-how to make them polished post-assembly.

There's some Digimon kits I could maybe get >w>

I keep on wanting to dig into Gunpla but only if the 0079 kits are extremely boxy

Periodically we think we'd like to try a gunpla but we're bad with our hands. Maybe a nice basic Guntank

Hooray, so happy to see a Gunpla thread here! I've loved plastic models for a while now. I should build my 30 Minute Missions Nightfall at some point...

Most older High Grade kits are very basic, so they should be pretty easy to build! The Guntank is very simple - I think anyone can build one with enough effort.

I just finished this build last night! It’s the SNAA “The Round Table Knights” Guardian of the Spiritual Emperor Gawain, Designer Color version.



He’s a real beauty. Pretty challenging build, lots of tight tolerances and tiny joint parts, but totally worth it in the end. It’s got the nicest gold I think I’ve ever seen on a kit—-and it’s all very thoughtfully undergated so there aren’t any visible sprue marks in the final kit!

(Also pictured in the back: NonZero Studio Knight of Dark Sky, some Acid Rain figures, and a Kamen Rider SHF…)

…But what caught my eye about it at first was the box, because it has something extremely funny on it:

“No, Bandai lawyers, that’s not the Real Grade logo at all! It’s Beyond Exquisite, which is something entirely different!”

A bunch of previously Chinese exclusive MG recolors are now available on Premium Bandai and I'm AAAAAAAAAA

Woah, what, these are on P-Bandai now?! GODDDDD. I NEED these...

I particularly love the EW Wing recolor. I don't even like the Wing in general, but this is just so damn edgy in a fun sort of way? It's SUPER clashy, but I don't find myself caring. I actually love how hideous it is.



And the Justice is really pretty too......... aaaaaaaa...

ooooooo!
Not Gundam but I'm a huge fan of the Megalomaria line.

Here's my collection so far! I also have a bird one to make, but I'm waiting till I finish building the Xenoblade Siren I have, before I make that one.

Though it's technically not Gunpla, I do really love the 30 Minute Missions line and its sibling lines. The Forestieri 01 is absolutely adorable. It's so small! It even has widdle ears! So precious~!

Here's mine with a little haphazard customization - A shoulder from a Spinatia, the Astaroth Rinascimento's(?) machine gun, and a backpack from one of the many 30MM option part sets. I kinda wanna get another... maybe the 03, because it's in e621 very good colors, and also see if I can get a tail on one of these.
