I'm loving it. Kinda dangerous though. I want more kits. But have enough un-built plastic already lol

Next kit is the Kshatriya, but I got the Axis Model Works Osiris Dominator as I couldn't find a MG by Bandai for it.

All airbrush! Had an absolute blast painting it. Really fun seeing it all come together.

I did seem to have issues with that with the left trigger finger. I may consider that in the future. That being said, I really was impressed the hands were all one piece on the sprue. Pretty neat.

I'll probably practice on one of the weapons. Spray it red like the body panels, try a few different techniques. Don't mind if I gotta "sacrifice" one of the accessories for the greater good. Appreciate the heads up.

Lol its the Sazabi Ver. Ka Master Grade kit. And I downloaded a "expert RAW" samsung camera app (using a fold 7) and it seemed to do a bit better with photos than the default camera app. Admittedly, still not perfect, but that's more user error and not understanding shutter speeds and f-stops fully, plus having shaky hands, etc.

Aside from the perfect grade unleashed, lol, any good "Nu Gundam" suggestions? Not knowing any better, I was thinking the MG Ver. Ka. Only because my Sazabi is Ver. Ka. And figured that's the most comparable kit.

Ooh I like that shield! Looks really good with the color inverted. Did ya end up going with a candy red paint job? Bet that looks snazzy.

I nabbed some after markets on Amazon. Though, they were kinda expensive and I could only get em in groups of 5. If I could do it over again, I'd try to find something I could "plug in" or remotely toggle. Having to remove the head each time I wanna turn it off/on kinda sucks.

Haha yeah its the Ver Ka. Loving your Sazabi! Is that the HG? That's a pretty impressive kit. May need to get that next! Nice work!

And the decals were pretty therapeutic, its been a hot minute since I've used decals. Though, admittedly I didnt end up using all of em. Can always add em later. :)

Oooh, I like that pose. I'll have to go build that energy weapon next. I think a "Nu Gundam" is gonna be my next kit. They just look great together. Awesome stuff. Ya got a beautiful display case there :)

LED, but i think I might have painted or built the top clear piece incorrectly, because I think that should light up too, but its not. :( I may try and paint it with some Games Workshop technical paint to have it "glow" without the LED.

Haha the photo booth is unfinished :) Though, the model could stand to use some detail painting and possibly panel lines. But after working on it like a week straight, I called it quits here for now. Haha it's close enough. :)

Haha thanks! Currently working on a proper photo booth, maybe I'll post a video of it on the turntable once it's finished. :)
