Now that I see that hashtags are working on here I should probably repost some of my #Gunpla for higher visibility to #gundam fans

Great start today, get up and the heat's not working (inconvenient but at least it did it now and not in the dead of winter) and then I find out that Lychee slicer has started some GenAI bullshit. So now I have to figure out if I want to try ChituBox again or give something else a try.

So I did end up mustering the energy to do some painting today in the end, mostly just details.

COVID Shot kicked my arse yesterday and I also had to spend time leveling my build plate, but, I did get the missile pods printed. I would trying to decide what shoulder options I wanted to use, but I think I like the asymmetry here.

Still working on Camllla today. This is a two-model kit from ATK Girls through Eastern Models. I finished the unarmored version a few days ago, now working on the armored version. I have recorded the builds as well, hoping to get them edited and posted soon (tm) #Girlpla #Plamo #Plamodel

Two plastic model kits. The one on screen left is blond, wearing a black body suit with cutouts for the upper chest and stomach. She is wearing black thigh-high boots trimmed in deep red. The second figure, which is only a head and torso, has a masked face and large bat ears. Her hair is grey, and a black mask covers her lower face. Her outfit is red and black, with spiky bits around the skirt.

Today's hobby work. Just painted some of the blacks details and the red finger tips. Gundam fans might have spotted the AoZ/Hazel colour scheme going on.

Trying to work on this a little bit every day before work. Painted in all the grey details on one side plus the sensor package in the chest as well as giving the grey parts on the arm another coat.

So as I have come to expect when working with water based paints, there was some damage when removing the masking, but now I'm contemplating leaving it, that's some good chipping

Trying to get some hobby time in every day even if I have to squeeze it in before work. Finished the airbrush work on the torso, now I need touch up and detail/hand painting.

A before shots a large piece of resin representing the chest of a mech suit painted blue/black with a bunch of masking tape and putty protecting the earlier work

I was shocked at how quickly stuff arrived from Delpi (never much longer than ordering from a us store) although I haven't ordered recently so I have no idea how the current tariff and customs chaos is affecting them

Todays hobby progress. Not quite as much painting as I would have hoped as I am still trying to work out the last few kinks printing clear resin but I managed to give the legs a coat of satin varnish and got a start on the left arm and torso.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of her earlier, but this is the Jiang-Shi goblin girl from @twingoddessminis.bsky.social that I finished last week. Slowly getting better. Nothing fancy, but I like her :) #minis #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #Nerdlings

A small resin jiang-shi goblin raises one knee. Her over-long sleeves drape down from her raised hands, and her blank eyes stare forward. A red ribbon is attached to her hat, while a second is worn around her neck.

Back-view of a jiang-shi goblin. The split side dress falls over her posterior, which is prominent on both sides of the dress.

Finally finished! This is Yukihime, the Hunter's Poem 005 from Suyata. Had a bit of trouble with the original pose (I wanted her holding the umbrella, but ended up with this because it was a little easier to pose) #Girlpla #Plamo #Plamodel #Suyata

A small plastic girl with her blue hair pulled back in a ponytail and a large umbrella with eight pink panels floating over her head. She stands with her legs slightly apart, holding a katana in one hand, and wakizashi in the other.

After testing a bunch of colours I think I'm going with green for the shield effect parts

It’s Friday, the sunrise is lovely and I’ve been awake for hours.

This week the theme is…red.

So let’s see the red stuff.

As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

Not a huge amount more work on this today, mostly painting in some metal gubbins but I did get a nice new hobby lamp which had the address bonus of making my desk photos look really nice.

Pre work hobby time. Adding the yellow stripe feels like the right decision, I had been worried it was too much.
