  • @gunpla @gundam
    Time to see if a Lemmy cross-post from Mastodon works the way I'm hoping

    Edit: it does not. I'll try another approach next post.

  • @Akaru88 Great build! Some gold Gundam Marker would make that heat hawk pop.

  • @Akaru88 You painted all of that with a Gundam Marker? And here I thought airbrushing the inner frame was too much work. Fantastic job.

  • @Akaru88 That looks fantastic! Wonderful metallic color. I'd be tempted just to display it like that (although I just love Zaku and Zaku adjacent suits)

  • Day 22

  • @Akaru88 Only one of my 1/144 kits came with a pilot figure. Much sad. The MG's come with a ton, though. Too bad I don't have a 1:100 scale scene base.

  • @Akaru88 I love scene bases so much. Especially that style, where it looks like they're being built or maintained. I actually 3D printed some roughly 1:144 scale technicians for mine, although enough (relatively rare) 1:144 scale pilot figures would probably look a lot better.

  • @gundam I took another picture to demonstrate the secondary manipulators and thought it looked nice enough to post. Grass is not to scale :blobcatupsidedown:

  • @MelodiousFunk I agree. Honestly despite having never watched GTO this is still what I see when I think "RX-78-2"

  • @MyDarkestTimeline01 I've noticed almost all the specialized online stores I do use tend to use Shop as their back end even on their websites.

  • @MyDarkestTimeline01 I've never used Gundam Companion. I'll keep them in mind next time I go to buy a kit online. I have a sizable backlog keeping me busy at the moment, though.

  • @MyDarkestTimeline01 MG Barbatos is one of my wishlist kits (although now that they've announced MG Barbatos Lupus I will have to make a decision; I don't have enough space for two 18 cm tall Barbatos). It's good to hear it was a fun build!

    If you like IBO, they did recently release an MG Vidar, so that's an option. I have yet to look into any reviews for it, though.
