It’s getting late and I’m pretty tired so I’ll do the posing tomorrow, but the RG Wing Zero is finished!

I’m not really sure I can say anything about this kit that I didn’t say in my build thread (all very good!) but I’m blown away by what they can get in this tiny frame #gundam #gunpla #plamo

I thought the rest of the kit was already amazing but damn these thruster pod wings have an insane amount of articulation in them! The wings expand out on a 4 part arm so they can extend way out and pivot! And the expanding thruster is also awesome! #gundam #gunpla

Body is done now and I’ll move onto the wings next! The wrists are very tight and the weapon holding ones have these little pegs on the back of them so I can’t imagine this kit has any issue holding the Twin Buster Rifle #gundam #gunpla

I didn’t use the standard Ground Gundam/GM beam sabers because they’re really short. Makes sense when they’re stored in the legs, but I have a backpack with storage so I used full size ones instead.

The articulation of this kit is also amazing, it does basically whatever you want it to! #gunpla

Did I buy a 30MM weapons set because the rifle that came in it kinda vaguely looked like a Clone Trooper’s DC-15a? Impossible to know! But I wanted this to have something unique for a weapon and I think this works well. I think the beam sabers are extra from the White Rider #gundam #gunpla

Look who is together! The RX-79 is one of my favorite designs, I’ve updated it a bit here and made it more monochromatic than I originally intended but I think it looks great! Other than paint the only difference here is the backpack which I think is from a Pale Rider DII? #gunpla #plamo #gundam

I should have the body done this afternoon after work, the second leg should go pretty quickly. I’m really excited to get started on the wings later today though! #gundam #gunpla

I forgot to share the legs on their own earlier but the transformation gimmick is extremely impressive especially at this size.

The cockpit hatch was pretty loose and opened on its own when I tilted the kit so I added a tiny amount of nail polish on one peg and now it’s nice and tight. #gunpla

This kit is genuinely gorgeous. Some of the ways that parts fit together is really creative too, like the round beige part on the front skirts actually being a peg for the ball joint. I don’t think I’ve seen that before and it’s very neat #gundam #gunpla #plamo #gundamwing

Didn’t get a ton done last night but I’m going to start on it again soon to get some more done this morning! The Twin Buster Rifle and shield are both extremely cool and detailed!

Got the last of the parts for the Ground type Gundam painted this morning, so tonight it’s going to be back onto the Wing Zero. I do wish the weather was more forgiving for painting year round here so I could do more of this, but it is what it is #gundam #gunpla #plamo

In comparison to the RG Wing Zero from this morning, it feels like I could build it in my sleep in comparison.

I absolutely love the ground Gundam design and the HG kit. I glued the upper waist/ab section to the lower part because otherwise nothing else holds it there #gunpla #gunpla

My other PBandai order came in just before I had to leave for work so all the work I did cleaning out my backlog the last month or so has just been undone lol. I did think the G3 was coming next month but it’s nice to have it.

Im adding just enough armor so that I don’t have to take a bunch of stuff apart in order to add the rest of the armor. I’m still absolutely loving this kit! The silver in the chest is painted chrome, and the yellow vents are metallic gold now #gunpla #plamo

Also this is an R -79[G] Ground Gundam! This is one of my favorite kits, I built one very early on, and I’ve been planing on doing a custom version for a while. It’s not going to be crazy in depth or anything, just a slight recolor of some parts and new accessories but I’m excited for it! #gunpla

Honestly had a pretty crappy day at work so I didn’t mentally feel like I could focus on the RG Wing Zero right now so I’ll get back to that in the morning. So for tonight I just cut out and sanded some parts from another one of my favorite kits to start on a slight custom! #gundam #gunpla #plamo

I decided that I’m building the frame first and then the armor for the Wing Zero since it has nearly an entire inner frame. So far the kit is fantastic, tons of detail on the frame and there’s even multiple shades of gray that make it up #gundam #gunpla #plamo #gundamwing

From one great kit onto (hopefully) another one, the RG Wing Zero! I’m very excited to build another modern RG, and even though I like the Wing Zero EW more, I’ll always love the original TV design too! #Gundam #gunpla #plamo #gundamwing

Turns out the hardest part of posing this kit is trying to arrange the bits in interesting ways lol #gundam #gunpla #plamo

This is the coolest part of this kit, it comes with the regular action base and the effect parts to mount the cape parts and the bits! The upper sections of the bit cape stands can be moved around a bit, same with the effect parts for the bits themselves. #gundam #gunpla #plamo

Doesn’t come with tons of accessories or weapons, but it looks very nice and regal in most poses. The only issue I’ve noticed with it is the right leg is a bit loose on the peg for the hips so I’ll need to tighten that up #gundam #gunpla #plamo

Gundam Rose is finished! Everything I’d heard about this kit was positive and I think that was all pretty accurate! The color separation and articulation are both excellent, the layering in the legs, the chest and on the cape are probably my favorite parts #gundam #gunpla #plamo #ggundam

So the kit is all put together and I really just need to put the stand and bits together so I can take the final pictures. The cape armor is really nice and fully color separated and the layers look great! #gundam #gunpla

The overall color separation her is awesome, the red on the knees and the cockpit cover on the core lander are painted on but everything else here is actually separated which is a pretty far cry from the ibo kits I’ve been building recently #gunpla

You can’t tell me what to do, instruction manual! Also I can’t remember another manual that specified you shouldn’t cut off the safety flags on the vfin
