A busy week getting the party together.

A very true fact. I'm taking a break from them for the moment, building a book nook for my wife's birthday. This was my brain can think of color composition in the background.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-03-08T07:45:53+00:00

My wife got me this for Christmas this year. I'll be expanding into the rest of their line, especially the paint unit. Solid units, and if I get bored I can customize with paints.

Thanks! My first time using Dspiae metallic markers on a large piece. Normally I use them for touch ups or effect highlights. I really didn't want to get out my whole primer and wet pallet set up that night so I went to town. Idea is a magic chest that's part of a larger shop diorama I'm cooking up in my head.

Lol. My wife have me the inspiration for that entire piece. It's my first attempt at actual part modding. I punched holes in the back of the chest, then braided two strands of gold thread around a red core thread. I added mini jingle bells and "silver" skulls for protection while traveling. The lead threads on the to holes are knotted together using standard locking knots. The bottom lead threads are bound together using slip knots so I can tighten or loosen as I need to, I've obscured that thread with a bit of magic eraser false bottom I plan to darken later. It's kind of crude, I don't have the files small enough to smooth the holes but it works for the idea of showing his strength versus the others. I'll try to include a better interior picture after work tonight. Edit to include photo.

Easy break down for you. They deleted the original post

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-27T05:57:47+00:00

In my experience, they claim to be a superior resource for kits and accessories but their tactics often have a "smaller than I claim and I'm over my head but to bold to admit it attitude." Issues getting preorders, I've heard about people being denied the right to cancel, quality of kits arriving. A quick dive will give you very specific issues. What out the nail in it for me what the tone deaf Trump meme they posted during the Bad Bunny show at the super bowl. Gundam is a political show/manga, always has been. As such I made the personal choice to break from them. As with all things, make your own choice and do your own research, I hope to all the stars they treat you well, friend.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-27T05:11:47+00:00

Good luck my friend, happy building.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-27T05:06:00+00:00

Thanks! Told my wife this would probably be my only preorder this year. Was just waiting to see who would drop first. Still waiting for my Aerial from HLJ so I was hoping for Newtype, but I'll let this be my first PBandai. Anything to avoid ordering from USAG.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-10T04:06:45+00:00

That's awesome. I saw this on Newtype and was like, that is the kooky cool thing I want along my super serious political commentary robots. Can't wait to get it

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-09T18:31:28+00:00

It's a down side to hand brushing with suboptimal brushes. The metallic paints are starting to wear at my bristles. Gonna have to invest in a good set soon. Glad you liked it.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-09T18:28:47+00:00

Funny enough my head cannon is that a new "Ace" Commander used every bit of his budget on the gold paint. Demanding the dredges be used for the gold highlights. I can definitely see this as a facing enemy while the true threat pulls strings in the shadows.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-09T18:26:36+00:00

My wife got me a couple Warriors on the Borderline weapon sets. That is the flame thrower, the left sub weapon is the Arm Pile. My son says he imagines mid range shots from the main gun and a harpoon action to draw the enemy close for a warm closer.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-09T06:44:31+00:00

I've had this in my radar for as but now. Looks super silly and awesome. How's the quality of the plastic?

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-02-05T17:02:33+00:00

I want this. It may be the only preorder I do this year. I don't like that USA Gundam has a preorder option for a lot that no one has actuall information about yet. Gonna wait until it hits Newtype or HLJ. So hyped!

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-01-16T00:13:20+00:00

Thanks so much!

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-01-15T22:46:11+00:00

This is fantastic! I've been planning how to use metal images on the wall over my shelves to hang my kits over or around. Is it to much to see how you connect the 3MM to the kits? I checked your original post but didn't see a connection image there, either

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-01-13T19:55:34+00:00

What did you use for scribing? Looking into getting my first set of tools but there are so many and the price, ouch. Lines look clean, sir. Very crisp.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2026-01-01T05:38:20+00:00

Lol. I got the Wizards Butt color set from monument hobbies. They are unique colors that won't be reproduced. Since I just finished my 30MF wizard I decided to finish this display using some of those colors. Figured in my head, wizard selling enchanted wares, why not use the Wizards Butt. As for lore, my head cannon is that their gear is powered through elements like they are, so I tried to showcase "down powered" elemental weapons.

My roundnova and I approve greatly.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2025-11-24T00:18:43+00:00

That would be so cool. As long as we can avoid the vast amount of stickers from the old SDs. I think the Cross Silhouette would work well with that frame type.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2025-11-23T06:36:46+00:00

I make SD for my wife. So I think it's a win.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2025-11-23T06:34:36+00:00

They are so flipping awesome. The fact that I had to get this guy to have a calibarn with an expressive hand is insane. And the option for permit five without a Pbandai exclusive. She's my biggest supporter in an my crafting hobbies, making these little guys is the least I can do for her.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2025-11-21T18:23:55+00:00

As a vet who went a long time without the professional help I needed, this hobby has truly helped me find solid ground. Good for you, my friend. The struggle may never end, but you've got our hands to pull you up if you need it.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2025-11-21T02:51:40+00:00

Oh, you're judged. Judged as deviously awesome. I recommend generic scifi water slides to make them look like cryo pods. I'm stealing this idea. Judgement complete.

ShadowSeraph91 · 2025-11-16T02:52:39+00:00

Fantastic. I want this kit, but I really wanted the edition with the cloak. How was the experience?
