me, the fool, optimistic and oblivious, reassuring myself after losing a beam rifle: "it's not missing, it SHOULD be here somewhere, I'll find it someday :))) ❤️❤️❤️"

Saw that my #gunpla #photography post popped off a bit, so here's another one featuring the Jesta in the beach.

Deleting my X account because I'm tired of doomscrolling through this hellhole. At least now I won't have an account to use the website with, so I'm hoping that'll help with getting over the habit.

A few funny memes weren't worth the bigotry and other nasty stuff I've seen there, farewell.

EXTRA EXTRA:
I actually ended up revisiting this build when I got my brown panel liners (2023)
November 27, 2024 at 10:43 PM
extra (3/3)
November 27, 2024 at 10:43 PM
Methuss finished!
It's a bit rushed as I only have one week free, so I'm planning to work on it more once I get more time (ie. proper panel lining, seam line removal)

Had a pleasure building this unique kit! Really happy I settled with this dude for the week. (2/3)

Tracked down which Gundam shows I've consumed as of Apr 11, 2023, using the timeline. (this is outdated now)

Thank you for your time! I'm really happy with the final outcome of this build, and I like to think of it as a neat little love letter to my entry point to Gundam (00).

Enjoy your day 🙂 (7/7)

And lastly, the final photoshoot... (6/7)
November 27, 2024 at 10:28 PM
Some waterslides started to slip away since I was being too impatient in my application, and it doesn't help that I don't have a topcoat to give them further protection either.

Here's a few photos from when most of the intended decals were still intact. (5/7)
November 27, 2024 at 10:28 PM
Custom decals came in the next day and I was pretty excited to try out waterslides for the first time.

For this step of the process, I decided to cross-reference the actual decal guide from the RG, though I wasn't able to replicate it perfectly due to a few mishaps on the way... (4/7)
November 27, 2024 at 10:28 PM
I also started properly removing seam lines for the first time, though I did have some trouble cutting off the excess cement, so the final results were less than stellar.
(sorry, no photo at this time) (3/7)
November 27, 2024 at 10:28 PM
Then I was off to the first part: Building and assembly. I made sure to skip over sealing the GN parts until my custom decals came.

Nothing much to say here. (2/7)
November 27, 2024 at 10:28 PM
The plan was simple: To make the HG Exia look a bit closer to the RG. I then came up with a mental list of what to change:
1. Cut down the window stickers
2. Replace the GN decals with brighter ones
3. Custom decals
