I’m a guy watching Gundam for the first time and I have a lot of opinions.
Really loved the MGSD Barbatos. Favorite of the kits I’ve built so far. I kept this one simple with the exception of water slides and a clear coat. I didn’t think to mask the more translucent parts so I did my best to take that off where I could. Next up I’m going to weather the heck out of a Gusion

Saw Char’s Counter Attack for the first time and it was on the big screen quite a treat. I enjoyed every minute of it even if the teenage characters were a bit of a drain on the blistering pace of the movie. The picture-in-picture portraits for mid fight cutscenes were great. Sazabi is also peak.

I was giving the Mechabreak beta a try and the gameplay is everything I wish Gundam Evolution had been.

Finally got around to making my Zeta kit The-O! Gave some painting a try and I sure sucked at it. A clear coat over the metallic red would have gone a long way. Still a fun, if old, kit though. Learned less is more when it comes to scribing as well.

Gundam ZZ definitely has. . . One of the OPs of all time.

Finally finished up the RX78 Ver.Ka
It was my first big kit I’ve put together and also my first time trying out some scribing and light customization. After the disastrous head and dry rub application incidents I tried out a bit of weathering. Fun times! I look forward to learning more!

Ended up cutting and sanding down a piece of runner to try and replace the broken v-fin. Definitely a rough attempt but it’s my first time and most importantly I think it looks okay from a distance. Sorry grandpa RX-78!

RIP I recently got and was touching up my first master grade gunpla. Unfortunately it fell off my shelf and the V-fun broke. The worst part is I can’t even find the piece to glue it back on.

Just got my first chisels for Gubpla: a 0.15mm Ray Studio and a 0.3mm Dspiae chisel and Dspiae Wing holder. While the triangular grip and additional heft is nice in the Dspiae, I think I prefer the Ray Studio chisel. Hard to compare the cuts directly since they’re different sizes. Still like both!

Any suggestions on which Gunpla from Zeta to build to commemorate me finishing that series? The Zeta VerKa looks like it might be fun.

Finally finished Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and overall I enjoyed it. Camille was a fun protagonist and his interactions with the 0079 Gundam cast, his new allies, and the psycho new types of the opposition were all fun to watch develop.
My problem is almost entirely with the Titans.

I can’t say I’ve been a fan of transforming Mobile Suits so far, but Gundam Zeta is winning me over.

Gundam Zeta is making it clear why the fujoshi’s of the last 40 years have shipped Char and Amuro.

Gundam Zeta confidently saying everyone would be wearing vests and styling their hair in mullets definitely betrays when it was made.

Watching Gundam Zeta for the first time and I just have to ask. . . Did this guy just become a spacer terrorist in the matter of 1 hour just because someone said he had a girl’s name? What an escalation.

You know, when I started watching Mobile Suit Gundam I wasn’t ready for space wizards. Rookie mistake on my part considering it’s sci-if from 1979.
