Trans Woman, She/Her, Queer, AuDHD, Gundam/Mecha lover, late 30's, I use alt-text, 420 friendly, early Christianity enjoyer (Not a Christian tho lol)

I mostly post about gunpla/gundam, and my cat Artesia, and life, which are all the same thing
I don't see many commercials, and I am seeing a ton of these awful AI ones. If I'm seeing them then I can only imagine what people who don't usually block ads have to deal with. Terrifying stuff honestly. I would rather you film yourself in your bathroom yelling at me to buy a car than see AI slop

Doing my favorite holiday event. Getting baked and watching Ancient Aliens while working on gunpla 😌👽🛸

I find it so interesting that some of the best players I run into really do have the worst names. Why is it always like "GameMasterGreg" or "BobbyBestKilldU"

Rats off to ya, WyattTheGamerPro, your name was not lying. Guy was like the wind.

really tempted to buy this amazing bootleg copy of Zeta Gundam: A New Translation DVD on Etsy

I want to collect more physical media but jesus christ the prices of gundam dvds/blurays are wild sometimes. Especially with the chaos of right stuf dying and crunchyroll being the worst 😭

Happy to say that I did come back to work on more! Not a ton, but I'm glad I didn't let my frustration at losing a part get to me. The head was a little rough putting together. Seems solid after it's done at least. The firearm is very cool and the writing is much easier to see on it.
November 27, 2025 at 6:15 AM
I never did follow up on this, so here's the progress I made so far! Top shelf is most of my non Gundam statues, then a bunch of WfM stuff and Haman/Char (they will probably get relocated but for now they're cute/funny there) also cat!! 😻

Still need to get a replacement light though that isn't hot
November 27, 2025 at 6:09 AM
Okay the head was not as much of a joy as the body was (*smug anime face*) but at least it's together now. I need a break after dropping that yellow piece over and over, and losing it for like 10 min one time. Warning to anyone else, that part will pop out super easy until you get it locked in place

When they made character models for Gundam I figured it was only a matter of time before we got similar with Eva, and thankfully we have now! Yaaayyy! Rei, my hero! She's a star, and now I have a Rei I can pose and have fight giant robots all on her own! Also I adore this @gundamplanet.com sticker 😻

Doing some light detailing but nothing too crazy. I don't want to overwhelm myself so I'm just kinda focusing on just building one part at a time and deciding as I go. I absolutely love this so far though, it's everything I was hoping for while building the HG lol
November 26, 2025 at 6:38 AM
Okay as I went on it kind of sank in more??? It wasn't even from putting parts on I don't think, it was happening while sanding other parts, and by the time I had it all together it looks fine to me lol
November 26, 2025 at 6:09 AM
Having trouble with the cockpit closing up. Anyone else run into this problem? I have some ideas but I'm not 100% sure what the issue is. Might have to sand down the blue part a bit? It'll go up, but then it goes back down to where it is in the first pic.

Airmaster has turned into a couch build, I got the urge to do something different. When I started building the HG Exia I was lamenting over how bad I wanted an MG, and now I have 2(one is ecopla), but I decided to build that standard one first. Ecopla Setsuna will be a void, just like ecopla Mika

Looks really good next to the Justice too! Honestly the art for the game is, in general, really good. I like the whole aesthetic they have going. Tho at times I question some choices, they can either be just bizarre like "Dramatic turnabout" R+, or kinda creepy like the card with Fa 😭
November 26, 2025 at 3:15 AM
Ordered this Freedom Gundam a few days ago, at a really good price too, and it did show up 😌

Pretty sure this and the justice were the only LR I didn't manage to get opening boosters, and I didn't really want to buy more, so it made more sense to just buy the card.
November 26, 2025 at 1:31 AM
Okay these two are fun to pose together lol. I need to buy a stack of normal grazes, this was one of my earliest builds coming back (the standard graze that is) and I could use another... And then like 10 more probably.
November 25, 2025 at 6:54 AM
Don't talk to me or my son again 😠
November 25, 2025 at 6:49 AM
I'll have to go back and touch it up in the future, but I did at least paint the eye on the Graze Ein! Next up is the Gundam Airmaster, from After War Gundam X, which I've really been looking forward to. I hope that this coming year Bandai releases some more Gundam X kits 🤞
November 25, 2025 at 6:45 AM
My favorite elimination now 😎

Ofc they fought like a huge annoying weenie, but in the end I outsmarted them (not hard) and managed to hide in a spot I could see into where we had been fighting from the outside and headshot em. Wish I had lasted longer, got caught up in a storm fight, worth it tho
November 25, 2025 at 6:17 AM
Precious babies 😺💕
November 25, 2025 at 1:21 AM
Well I kinda ended up snapping the rest together, but I'll have to take the head apart to paint the eye still but that's easy. I'm going to make an IBO area of my display case so I wanted to get some more of those out of my backlog, so now the Graze Ein and Hugo can both go in there.
November 24, 2025 at 7:25 AM
Progress! Still more to do but I wanna play fortnite and my sinuses are killing me from how much stuff I've been moving around today and cleaning and oh God the dust 😭

I need more plexi risers and then I can layer the right side properly, but I like it so far :)
November 24, 2025 at 3:46 AM
Cleared the top shelf of my main display case of WfM stuff since I'm going to make a whole shelf for them in the new cabinet. The before and after tho kinda made me laugh. They've been wiped from the timeline lol

Time to make the top shelf all Tomino UC >:)
November 24, 2025 at 3:00 AM
These lances are too damn big for the case lol. I was going to localize my Eva stuff in there, but these two won't make it sadly 😔
November 24, 2025 at 1:04 AM
Going to be working on rearranging all my display stuff for the next like week now 😭

Got the cabinet for free from a family friend, and it has a lot of charm. I just need to figure out a better lighting solution for it. The bulb is very old and gets a bit warm.
November 24, 2025 at 12:58 AM
My dspiae metallic gold marker has never worked real great but I think I got it going now. Might need to clean it more, but I love the color at least! Fits well with the dark armor. I like the MK-07 Yellow for the other graze units I've done, but this one needed the ol' razzle dazzle on it
