Not a great picture but I build real grades mostly. I've got a kitbash I'm working on between the Astrea Type F and the 00 Qan[T]

I'll try to grab a picture of it next time I mess with them, they're primed right now I just need to paint them and glue certain parts together.

I haven't tried anything outside of HG yet cause I've been getting the guys i know about that are locally available amd that's my options. Ive also done the rx79, the Zeta which I also have a redo bought and in box cause it was my second build and I kinda hate it now and I lost the head crest thingy, so ill turn that one into the wave rider and keep the good one is MS form when I build it. I just got the EZ8 and plan to do thar one when I finish my current build later today, the mk2.

The MG Ver-Ka RGZ-91 is at a local Michael's and they do 40% off coupons constantly so im waiting for that. After that im gonna have to start ordering or watching non UC stuff and frankly Wing doesnt seem appealing to me.

I really like 00 personally, from a design perspective and because the kits tend to hold up really well as Real Grades, though I wish desperately for them to make RG kits for Iron Blooded Orphans, they brought on Naohiro Washio for that series, he did a lot of Armored Core designs.

If you ever get into RG, I'd say the best kit in terms of build quality and being mostly able to just snap it together without a lot of sanding, is RX-93 Nu or Hi Nu, but they are huge kits that take a long time

Sorry the only plastic mecha I make are Lego.

GalaxyBrain I was in a big mall not in the United States the other day and they had a huge Gunpla display, I took a picture and was going to post it for you but then I got paranoid

anyway I thought of you, internet friend

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 23 hours ago

Nice! The mist is can come across around here is part of a shelf at Michael's

I have some kits I would need to dust off before I took pics and a pile of 5-6 I haven't started building, and it's been a few years now sadly.

I do also happen to have that hyaku shiki kit, one of my favorite suits

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

I also have that red zaku and a wip of the gouf. Good taste my man

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Gouf custom is fun to photograph light works off the color neat

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There is a gunpla comm floating around, not super active. My stuff is still packed away from moving :/ I have that same Gouf and Zaku kit as you show, and a few more built. I have some RG that might be my next build but I also want to get my HG ready for painting. What's the yellowish one? Hyaku Shiki?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, HG Hyaku-Shiki. Its a redo of my first ever kit from just over a month ago. Im new as hell to this but hafe been going hard

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that first picture shows off the gold much better. Nice! You should find that gunpla comm and breathe some life into it!

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 23 hours ago

Those are both the same one. My first Hyaku-Shiki is in the box and not coming back out until I make a battle damaged plan to cover the poor job
