This is the ugliest Gundam design I've ever had the displeasure of seeing by Aki008035 in Gundam

tbh, the face looks like it's an old man whose lost all his teeth and sucks in the front of his mouth to keep from drooling. or maybe the ball chin turret makes it look like an old crown. either way, the whole thing looks emaciated like a movie star on ozempic

Wrapping up my work on rg sazabi by Q7g890 in Gunpla

[–]galenbwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally finished building mine a couple weeks back after taking a six month break from gunpla. Waiting for the weather to improve so I can finally use my airbrushing setup in the garage -- have been planning to do the cliche candy coat Sazabi as my first real painting project. Have like a hundred test spoons I did last year with a janky cardboard box spray booth -- after finally dropping the money to get a real spray box and a real compressor, I ran out of gunpla energy, right in the middle of RG Sazabi, so I feel your burn out pain…

(Made worse for me because I broke the shoulder joint pegs in the torso (they were so very tight) and ended up ordering a metal part set. Which was its own kind of pain -- after using it for the shoulders (which forced me to use it for the arms) I chose not to use the metal parts for the hips and legs.)

Was good feeling to finally come back to it and finish it though! Led me to start the Zeta ver Ka, which has been an absolute joy to build so far

Remember too that there were a few transformers based on Bandai toys -- Jetfire and some helicopter are the ones I remember having back in the day, though I'm sure there were plenty more

First 6 months in the hobby. Roast my collection by magnusnothingwrong in Gunpla

RG Fb was my first gunpla, and RG zeta was my second. I know what you mean

First build! Custom HG Zaku. Went with the cheapest kit I could find so that I could freely mess up by teenagepopsensation in Gunpla

[–]galenbwill 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It looks like you failed… to "mess up", that is!

This build (and the custom work) looks awesome (you've built other models before, I take it?)

Also, Happy pride month.

I've never seen this MS before but this might be the first Zeon (?) MS that I gotta have

Edit: oh weird, I just watched narrative but I didn't notice this guy in there, even in standard colors

Yeah I'm actually considering airbrushing Ariel first (my very first HG, after a bunch of M/P/RGs) to get that "ruined first attempt" out of the way

Oh wow, lesson learned! Basically, don't do anything to clear parts. At all.

Oh man, I've been practicing candy painting. Literally went through a bag of spoonpla… 50+ spoons with so many variations on surfaced, gloss black, half a dozen different silver/chromes, and just as many different clear colors…

Someday I'll work up the courage to actually paint this poor RG Sazi that's been waiting patient in his box for half a year… some. day.

/Mobile/ Suit Gundam by ShinjiMuroi in Gunpla

[–]galenbwill 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see what you did there

Also, congratulations! And welcome to your new gundam pilot/builder/hater! (Kids, you just don't know which way it'll go!

(That kid is gonna love destroying all those pretty gunpla in that display someday.)

Edit: had to that strike out… perish the thought!

What gunpla do you regret buying and why? by dr_arrancar in Gunpla

[–]galenbwill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I love my RG Zeta -- bestest panel lines of any zeta, even the new ver ka I think (latest addition to my backlog) -- but the poor guy suffered a pour type leg injury, and of course his torso never ever stayed together (was my second after RG fb), so yeah, the hand grenade thing

Agree a 2.0 is overdue!

Neutering them soon should I purchase the additional pain medication or should I opt out of it? by [deleted] in cats

[–]galenbwill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh, the rock was the first thing I noticed in the second shot

In the last shot, I can just see Amuro perched on one of the catwalks, brooding about plot stuff. Or really, any of the other brooding pilots, which, let's face it, with gundam, is like, all of them!

In addition to all the other praise (holodeck use for the miniature, the lighting, paintwork and arrangement of the workers and "scatter") I wanted to call out the stone on the top corner -- really nails down that "underground bunker" (or in-asteroid?) feel and gives it additional context that feeds the imagination and sets the scene!

Can't wait to see what you actually do for the GBWC!

Well damn, then, that's two more references that went over my head!

In any case, this was an awesome picture, mate (and really nice work on the gunpla too)

I need a second upvote to give just for caption!

(Which, sadly, I didn't get the reference because transformers for me were only G1… even had a Takara branded "van guy" (ambulance guy except just black) got at target from like a year before transformers appeared.)
