Had a good day yesterday so I decided to open up and build one of my holy grail model kits

I've only been building for 5 years but this (or the other related ace GMs) have been on my list to hunt down and build from day one

the other day i was eyeing both these sets when we went irl shopping across two different stores, id considered them in theory in the past but they didnt really grab me much in person

just had the vibe that they'd end up as neglected parts of my collection

grabbed some other toys instead tho

guh this was such a lovely build

question, did you do the waist with the proper locking insertion step? because I've found locking ball joints tend to go really loose when i dont realise they are locking and i force it past the tab

either way, agreed it's a wonderful little kit

there are filaments that hide them but they have other compromises

this is a decent example

never did any post processing or painting on this and the layer lines are non existent

at least good to see mention of how this kind of cptsd can destroy you.

a lot of the time when there is discussion around mental health or ending your own life, cptsd and other factors that drive it get brushed under the rug

the kind of stuff that is actually inescapable in life

the Pokemon mums are great

the other day someone tried to snark me with this and i was like

"yeah nah if that was the case we wouldnt now have a community thriving on the passion of the parents we talked to and convinced to get into it by talking with them"

built the RG early on, it was an impressive build, but it never really worked in a display with anything else

built the hg more recently, did paint work on it, overall put a lot more effort in it, and i genuinely think i prefer it more to play with and pose and photograph with other kits

bandai:

puts 1/144 scale as a selling point on the box

also Bandai:

arbitrarily increases the size of suits making them totally out of scale to make them "look cooler"

at some point you gotta draw a line and stop calling them a given scale, because it's not

these cannot both be the same scale

also I'll never stop loving the fact that this overlapped with the late UC Hathaway era giant suits like the Gustav Karl so we have images like this

it's probably my favourite standard colour Gundam design, specifically the redesign that came alongside the mg.

I've got it, the unit 2, and the gunraid and they are so lovely

gee i wonder how these people would feel if they were forced to do this shit on *every* flight thanks to ableist policies and refusal to make things accessible

oh and charged extra for the privilege

some recent examples

still very very stupid that despite this crossover, the eligibility still remains a problem

these symptoms are going on almost every day for most of the day

i have my watch telling me every night that im not resting enough, during day and night, 8 hours asleep

even a year ago my therapist already wanted to intervene and push for palliative, extremely concerned about my daily suffering and extremely poor QOL

now a year later, with them retired, im in an even worse state, with even less medical assistance controlling symptoms

the writing on palliative care in Aus and my state says they can assist with a list of symptoms to improve QOL, almost all of which i have lived with daily for the last few years

"your GP is not supporting you in your physical health or even responding to my letters scolding her for letting you suffer, you should get a new GP"

(here's a fun snippet from the discharge letter sent to that GP when my psych retired, still scolding)

got a new GP since, but still same issues

finished my HG Red Gundam.

quite a nice kit

just a shame so much of the orange had to be painted

same for the grey on the funnels

overall very enjoyable and fun to pose
