Here's my portfolio if you will, a collection of images of all the kits I've completed since joining social media and so have good photos of! #Gundam #Gunpla

Sharing what I grabbed and mentioned in my last post. $20 and allows me to prime with paint so no chalky rattle can in the humidity.
Cheap USB airbrush from Amazon.

I got myself one of those cheap airbrushes from Amazon at around $20 that is USB-C rechargeable. I'd not want to use it for details but it serves as a decent primer sprayer as I'm in a place where rattle cans can only be used 1 month a year. #Warhammer #Warhammer40k #BlackTemplars #Hobby

Was out a week on a well earned vacation. I did get my #BlackTemplar Intercessors build, then sub-assembled for priming. Curious though, do you all drill boltguns? #Warhammer #Hobby #40k

Hell of a week, a chunk of my roof blew away in a storm! I've only managed to get the other leg on the Gouf done. How everyone else's week has been better :D #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla.

Does anyone else get second leg syndrome? Building one thing then not wanting to build the same thing again. Well I do, so sometimes I build the waist before the second leg. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

Don't worry I still have #Gunpla projects in the works. I started this bootleg Gouf Proto Mobility Demonstrator build. Digging the military-ish colors. #Plamo #Gundam

My first model completed in 7 years, it was a surprisingly nostalgic experience. Here's my #BlackTemplars Marshal in all his glory. #Warhammer #Hobby #Wargaming

Not a super interesting hobby update, I clipped the parts for a bunch of #BlackTemplar models into these compartment container - now they're ready to build. #Hobby #Warhammer40k #Tabletop #Wargaming

First pick up on journey back into tabletop wargaming, #BlackTemplars! Fmi started playing #Warhammer40k in 3rd Edition with the Templars on the cover of the rulebook and my dad got me the starter box set! So it seemed fitting. #Hobby

HG XFS Dark Mana - AKA Hi-Nu Influx.

Straight built, metallic accents and G-Rework decals.

Final build is not stable at all, it was a decent bootleg build but not cream of the crop. Ultimately it looks badass on my shelf.

And that's a wrap on the HG Gundam Hi-Nu Influx. It's not very stable on the stand but damn if it doesn't look cool. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

I'm a former social media life and different hobby fixation I was big into #Warhammer and #HorusHeresy i sold most of my collection when I moved to the US. But I still have my 3000pt HH Death Guard army back home. I'm re-igniting that passion. Can't promise I'll be this standard immediately.

My account has been built on Gunpla, hence the GunplaGrownUp but would it be a deal breaker if I shared other hobby content? I'm currently in the process of returning to 40k after a 7 year break.

Pretty small hobby update, I decaled the HG Hi-Nu Influxes shield. Last thing is the gun, shoulder cannons and propulsion tank sword things. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

I think I liked BlueSky better before all the businesses and brands jumped on board.

If you remember I decided not to use the giant cannons on the Hi-Nu Influx. Despite giant shoulder cannons being my thing, they were just 2 pieces and the lack of color separation didn't look good.

Anyway I got decals on the wings and fin funnels. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

Very little hobby time this weekend, but I did manage to get the shoulders of the Hi-Nu Influx decaled up. Really excited to see this one finished. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

Waist unit and side skirts done. I'm glad I had those Grim Reaper decals as it's adding a lot of character and leaning into the idea of a 'Dark' Hi-Nu. #Gundam #Gunpla #Plamo

#gunpla #plamo folks, how big is too big for a backlog? I fear I might have hit it.

Decals on the legs done, I did end up supplementing the G-Rework decals with some Slave Wraith logos for the leg. I felt the skull leaned into the Gundam color palette quite well. #Gundam #Gunpla #Plamo
