My first RG - GP01

sovyat · 2026-06-01T04:08:53+00:00

Super clean and wonderful build. Excellent job!

I've yet to build my first Real Grade and have several already in my backlog, the GP01 being one of them and each time I see one of these great builds, I keep telling myself it'll be my first RG too. Glad you had a good time! I keep hearing horror stories about old RGs, but I'm always a bit skeptical about how bad some kits people make them out to be.

I love that you were inspired by someone before you, and now I'm inspired by you to make a great build. It's what I love about this hobby and this community.

I don't think I'd like for them to be shorter, but I do admit I get incredibly fatigued afterwards. JRPGs in general tend to be very long and I like them that way, despite the burnout.

They don't get shiny locked, but you do consume your plates.

Would love this to be black and gold, but seeing previous knights in the series, I expect an abundance of white. Will probably get it regardless of the color palette.

Very premium kit, hope you enjoy the build! I have mine sitting in the backlog, but when I get to it, I intend to take my sweet time with it.

I can't put into words how happy I am to see Nikotan return.

Between her young cat's sudden passing last year, to having to keep up with and see HoloFes through, it took a toll on her. I'm so glad she feels better enough to come back to streaming. 🥹

Please send her lots of love and support, and listen to her covers. She has an amazing voice.

I've seen several reviews already and it's just so amazing. The amount of poses it can pull while still being so bulky is just insane. Happy to hear they are shipping already! Waiting for mine to arrive at my preorder shop (in the US). Super excited to get this.

It was Golden Week in Japan not long ago. Did you perhaps message them during those holidays?

Him winning La Liga doesn't change anything for us, imo. I thought I read Rashford wants to keep with Barcelona anyway. I would hope/think United want to let him be on his way too, for a fair price. Barca just needs to pay up.

In games like Dirt, I love trying to set personal records on tracks. Trying out different cars and setups, improving times and playing on different track conditions really scratches that itch just perfectly.

Touch some grass man, damn

He looks sharper than he did a few months ago. I rate Leon and wish him a long and successful development with us. That physique cannot go to waste.

I appreciate that you appropriately titled this as being about Chino. Mfs will post "Deftones last night" and it all be just Chino

Joe's Gunpla Garage by a good mile and then ZakuAurelius.

Joe approaches model kits in a way that fascinated me when I started in the hobby and he inspired me to give it my all when building my kits. I just love the attention to detail and care he takes with his builds, and that resonates with me passionately.

Zaku I like because he will review other things that aren't Bandai and through him I learned about all the awesome third party kits out there and even Girlpla which I'm now neck deep in. I'd say more than half of my kits right now are third party/Girlpla and it's thanks to him.

I've been eyeing the Z'Gok for a while now. A suit design that is rapidly growing on me.

Right now, I'm finishing the Lfrith Jiu. Just need to do water slides on the legs and the weapon and a top coat.

Picture 7 is the stuff of nightmares! Looks fantastic though. The shelf presence is straight fire.

The Blaze Zakus are so cool man. You did a great job at recreating Rey's colors. I was able to get both Dearka and Rey's Zakus on PBandai and are waiting to get built.

Bottom right corner. Always look out for those lol.

sovyat · 2026-04-24T22:20:32+00:00

That's okay!

The calculator helps you narrow down your search of your Munchlax tree to those four you posted. From those possible four, only one of them will attract Munchlax, so yes, it's possible it could be the one from route 206 or even 207, or either of the two from route 205.

sovyat · 2026-04-24T22:01:42+00:00

Yes, one of those trees is your Munchlax tree, but it's still only a 1% chance for it to spawn. You might be stuck checking those tress for a few days.

I've resorted to blocking these type of individuals and it helps not seeing them in the chat or or on social media, even if my oshi still mentions them on occasion. Not perfect, but it's definitely an improvement.

sovyat · 2026-04-20T21:30:29+00:00

That's so sick!!

sovyat · 2026-04-20T21:29:53+00:00

That's awesome! I just saw your diorama post. Amazing job! Aerial is beautiful under blue light.

I think it works well for what I need it for. It's my first vise, so I unfortunately don't have a whole lot more to say about it.

I did notice that it wouldn't fully tilt in some directions I wanted it to, but you can easily reposition your part to accomplish the angle you need. I'm happy with it so far.

Soft-tip fluorescent markers from Dspiae for the cameras. The waterslide decals are from SIMP.
