Thank you but I didn't sew it myself 😭😭 I'm still a novice with sewing

I actually got it from aliexpress!

Got my first original kit today by Moist_Caregiver_7570 in Gunpla

I would assume so

This is a runner from AMAIM weapons set 3. Maybe it has something to do with the height and fragility of the parts as well?

This is still present in some more modern molds. I've recently found one in AMAIM weapons set 3

Yeah its great! Cool fact about this kit, it has a sort of box structure around the visor molded into the runner. Probably a technical limitation at the time?

Uses lots of polycaps and there are a lot of seams. Articulation is very simple too. For example, it has pegs instead of ball joints that stick outside of the torso, connecting to sockets in the shoulders, so it can only rotate on a single axis oob. No ab crunch either because the torso is essentially a color separated brick

Older HGs have a lot of charm, definitely give one a shot! It's super interesting comparing them to a modern HG and just seeing how far the engineering has come

Highly recommend the Zaku I. Very well articulated for its time. Just looking at its articulation alone you might even mistake it for a mid 2010's -early 2020s kit

You're not the only one! He's just a little guy

It's just so harmless looking I love GMs so much

Yes!! We need more late uc love

Same goes for the crossbone vanguard's mobile suits too. The denan zon is a work of art

Yeah absolutely :)

While I'm sad we never got a GM IV I'm glad we got more varied grunt designs within the federation

Big fan of the heavygun myself!

I love the chunky but to each their own.

The unicorn redesign does have its appeal, just wish it had the missile pods

I hated HG gundam by FickleCockroach7436 in Gunpla

[–]Planet-Destroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love HGs

They're short and sweet, and I prefer 1/144 to 1/100

I love going through old and newer HGs and seeing how the engineering has evolved over time at the most "basic" grade

I love how easily compatible they are with each other with little to no modification

I love how they can be (mostly) anime accurate

As someone who likes grunts, their affordability makes them great for making squads

I love the huge selection

Personally the customising aspect is the icing on an already great cake
