My first steps into Premium Babdai kits. This is the G-lins Standard Armor. I was first introduced to this unit in Gundam Battle Operation 2 and it's a bit of a mid range monster at its cost. The kit is quite nice. Good colors and build with some alternate parts to have it loaded up differently.

Had a few days off for dental work and recovery time. I went a little build crazy and am pleased with all I got done. Yes, I do build more than just mecha kits. I just lack adequate space to do the kind of painting things like ships and cars need to look best.

HGUC ReGz. A neat little kit with a unique flight form. The wings and extra guns of the flight unit jetison off and the mobile suit gets left with no means to change back. Not sure why the design changes from the Zeta's wave rider form, but it makes for a unique unit.

Got me a fun fow mech in the HMM Zouds Fire Fox. The Kotobukia loud kits are quite different from the old ones once found in stores. The motorized bit doesn't exist. The articulation is much greater. This one builds solid right off and poses nicely.

Assembled this lovely a while ago. Fenrir of the ATK Girls Endless Night series. A beautiful kit when built. She is surprisingly stable when posed. Not a one of the standing poses has extra support. The sturdy joints certainly help that fact.

After a long, stretched-out careful efforts, the figure of Duo Mawell that came with one of the earliest Deathscythe Hell Custom has been painted. Behind it is a preview of my next build.

The quite impressive MG Guntank with an HG of my favorite Dom variant, the Dom Tropen. Don't confuse it for the Dom Trooper. Tropen is UC. Trooper is Seed, and was in Gundam Evolution.

The fact that the transformation is part-swapping doesn't feel like it hurts this one at all. It makes plenty of sense with how full transformation kits can be. It's plenty solid in both forms. I'm already pondering potential custom paint schemes.

Took a while to complete and get these shots. Work has been ridiculous. This is the Murasame Kai from Seed Freedom. A well reviewed kit that has seemed quite popular. I think it lives up to those reviews.

Discovered a Build Fighters variant of the Wing Zero. It's called Zero Honoo. I really like the motif this has adding literal fire to the design. The fact that parts of the binders come off as huge flame swords is different and awesome. I'll for sure spruce this up and paint it up to liven the look.

Barbados is a strong posing kit and retains its imposing looks despite the altered proportions of SD. It even has the iconic weapons of this form included.

Completed a fun build. These MGSD Gunpla are certainly a neat change of build with a ton of detail out of box. I for sure recommend getting one, especially if any of the current ones released are if suits you like.

Gundam EX from Requiem for Vengeance. The build and quality are quite impressive.

The two constant war buddies recreating the mirrored poses on their box arts. The two units, and their pilots, have had each other's backs since back in the original Gundam Seed.

The brother to the Duel, the Lightning Buster Gundam. This one favors long-range just as its original build did.

Another HG Seed Freedom kit. Dual Blitz Gundam. Here it is without the latest version of the assault shroud.

I'm always willing to take a shot at one of these chances.

Sinanju Stein added to my ranks of built kits. This is one I might well do more with eventually. I just don't have the good space to right now. It's winter, and airbrush work is not advisable in enclosed spaces.

The golden boy Hyaku-Shiki built and being awesome. Char suits are pretty neat, even if some kits are not always up to the task of representing.

Just built a big sword Gundam. Schwarzenegger from Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. The designs are great and the series is good. I recommend both.

Just finished and already very impressed by this one. RG Gundam 2.0 is a huge upgrade from the original RG Gundam kit.

Nabbed me a lucky find. Never did I expect to find an official Metal Sonic colored like Shard from the Archie Comics run. All that is lacking is the power gem and the arm cannon.
