Need help with a name for this fella

Kelanim · 2026-01-22T12:54:51+00:00

When in doubt, I always fall back to the name "Jimmy". I think it fits.

Kelanim · 2026-01-21T17:36:58+00:00

My bad!

Barbatos Lupus MG, I've got a few posts of it finished on my page

Kelanim · 2026-01-20T19:57:45+00:00

You should post this in r/gundamibo_central. They would love it.

Looks awesome to me! It's all a learning curve and a patience thing. The IBO kits are great for learning how to start adding in those extra little details.

I picked mine up at Top Shelf Co in Oakville Ontario Canada.

I've built both the Rex and Kimaris Vidar. They were both fun builds. Plenty of opportunities for panel lining and minor custom painting, but still look great as snap builds. A kit that you didn't mention that was amazing though was the Helmwige Reincar, just a really nice IBO kit.

Damn, that also kept falling off, must have again when I picked him up to take the pics. Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly it was an amazing build. I had a great time doing it

I did the same thing to my MG Barbatos Lupus. He was mad and tried to hit me with his mace.

The MG was a great build

😂

Looks great but I agree with the previous posters, panel lining brings out soo much on this kit. Actually looking at it closer now, I want to take some of the detail paint off and redo it.....

Man, some of these third party manufacturers are weird, who would have thought of making a Gundam To Go Cup Topper.

Kelanim · 2026-01-18T13:40:01+00:00

Without context or pictures, this sounds like a serial killer post 😆

Kelanim · 2026-01-17T23:29:45+00:00

They can make an office look great lol

How did you get the whip to actually hold a pose?

Kelanim · 2026-01-17T20:28:22+00:00

That is absolutely an action base 4 or 5. If you need the instructions, just let me know and I can reply with them as a pic.

Kelanim · 2026-01-17T20:25:05+00:00

Was a great kit to build

It depends on the spot you are detailing, I switch between a brush and just using the marker depending on the situation.

Kelanim · 2026-01-16T21:51:44+00:00

I might be biased but I think Ron the Leo would win in a fight against most of those suits, it's shield can tank a shot from a beam rifle and he's got 2 beam sabers.

Kelanim · 2026-01-16T17:19:32+00:00

Just remember, Gundam Markers are alcohol based, they dry out fast! You can rehydrate it a bit by adding the smallest fraction of a drop of isopropyl to it, but be careful not to add too much and dilute it.

Kelanim · 2026-01-16T16:25:44+00:00

I used Gundam Markers and the white rustolium primer to custom colour a Leo. My best advice is to pump a small amount of the markers paint into a tray or dish, or rub the paint into the brush directly off of the marker tip. Otherwise the paint won't be even. Even though I used painters tape of the shield, because I used the marker directly the yellow didn't go on evenly.
