modified to be a little closer in line with my original edit

it ended up bein a lot more bunny-eared than my lil concept work there.. but i think it still fits 🤍💜 that's the head complete!

now's a fun time to share the little simple mockup i edited months and months ago from some kampfer lineart for how i wanted to modify it. please ignore the fact that the vulcans would fire directly into the fin antenna

they don't understand how cute you really are
(poorly dry fit, i may or may not snip off a bit of the 'chin' on the helmet piece)

since my airbrush project is on hold i've spent my time doing unspeakable things to my MG kampfer (federation-ifying it and turning it into a stolen zeon MS that was repurposed into a training unit, like the gelgoog at the end of stardust memory)

the head, i just glued the snout on and snipped the pipes so i could paint them w/out obstructing the head and just fit them back on

the chest, i cut the inside of it that holds the sides' pegs in, meaning i could assemble and glue everything together once it's all painted with ease

the arms were tough to figure out, they're a bunch of parts sandwiches over an innerframe, so i cut the connecting peg between the joint and the arm in half so i could glue it all together and, like the leg, slide it on and off!

the armor has the benefit of covering up my horrific surgery
October 17, 2025 at 9:22 PM
tamiya glue fixes it all together, but origin kits have an innerframe it all fits together over, making assemblies difficult! so i hollowed out the inside of the leg armor n sliced up the innerframe, so i can just slide it and out as i need. once the armor is done being painted, it slides right on

now that i have an airbrush i can post about what my devious plots with it are atm and what i did to butcher this origin zaku to prep for it. i wanted to get everything broken down into assemblies, so the first hurdle to get over was seamlines
October 17, 2025 at 9:22 PM
finally have an airbrush 💜🤍 i mostly just plan on using it for base coating my models, so i didn't wanna get any super crazy expensive setup (at least for right now)

life's been stupid hectic but i've been keeping my hands busy finally getting around to my gundam artifact miniatures, starting with the GM from thunderbolt 💜 been tryna base the color scheme off the HG gunpla's box art!

so! i just took the HD Builders Parts Zaku hands i had, since their slender shape fits the hrairoo's fingers way better (comparison pic below!)

i snipped the wrist peg off the Gaplant's hand and glued it onto the BP Zaku hand! fits like a glove now 💜🤍 plan on doing it with the other side Soon™️

you might be able to see that one of his hands is grey- that's cause i committed A Surgery and did a lil modification!

in the GA Hrairoo's artwork, you can see his hands are more slim and slender looking, finer for sure than the huge, clunky, blocky Gaplant hands it normally comes with

finished building this guy just lastnight. posing and adjusting him's a pain but i think i just gotta get used to angling the stand that props his gigantic arms up!
August 5, 2025 at 8:46 PM
the body's finally got decals, panel lined and lightly weathered 💜🤍 unfortunately due to some rough tumbles some of the paint's been rubbed off in a few areas, which i can just fix later .. but i'm happy with how it came out!

tried to go a lil less hard on all the weathering for this one

the lower arms you'd see on most balls are instead replaced with a pair of machine guns. so cute! except i had to drill out the barrels for them. reminded of warhammer minis ..

ok so the leo project wasn't speaking to me passionately, so i booted up something simple with my HG Thunderbolt Ball, pretty happy with how the thrusters came out on it so far 💜 in the process of finding good paint mixes for the several detail parts around the model!

went to that cute lil fur swap thing over in seattle yesterday! picked up a few things, like this lil twink tanktop, and a lil flail earring 🖤 sick stuff

oh yeah...
July 15, 2025 at 7:02 PM
alright it looks far from perfect here but that's ok. just needs to be sanded down and have some parts readjusted to make everything fit! but i'm . decently happy with it
July 15, 2025 at 6:27 PM
re: my trans enby pride Leo
how do i take the originally 5-banded red cheek vents and turn them into 4 (to make room for the 4 non-binary pride colors)?
some thin strips of plastic i bought weeks ago that just happened to be the perfect size!

sanded the red part down flat n tamiya cemented it all
