I built most of these kits over 5 to 10 years ago. Back in Gunpla mood again thanks to the new anime giving me OYW nostalgia. Hope to build of my Federation and Zeon army. And maybe later on OMNI and ZAFT armies for Gundam Seed too!
#My growing Gunpla collection

Want to say like 40% done now. The arm reminds me of building the Rgm 79 GM. I definitely need to get some GM variants soon!
glad jetty
Was going tp order online but I found the RG Titan Gundam Mk 2 and Tallgeese cheaper at Bandai Cross store and got it there. But also ordered some HGUC kits online.
glad jetty
Slowly but surely 50% done now?
glad jetty
Package arrived in mail 🥳
glad jetty
HGBG 1/144 Rx 78-2 Gundam is finished!
glad jetty
More to the backlog. Hope to build these kits before my PBandai preorders arrrive.
glad jetty
Tried my best to panel line the Beyond Global Rx-78-2 Gundam
glad jetty
Haven't built gunpla in a few days. Just building pieces then taking breaks. Trying different method where I panel line while assembling.
glad jetty
Not getting any faster.
glad jetty
Almost done! Just need to make the rifle and extra hands!
glad jetty
Just need guntank to complete the trio
glad jetty
Roughly 20 minute sessions each picture. Hope to speed things up and keep up the quality
glad jetty
My toolset and backlog just got huger!
glad jetty
the single bladed nippers rule!
glad jetty
Didn't finish my gelgoog yet but got even more stuff in the mail! 🥹
glad jetty
Almost done going to consider it my last build of May 2025 lol. With the new tools feels like I still take as long to build but the the nub marks looks bit better.
glad jetty
Now it is really finished and tried thr acrylic paint markers. Looks like I need second coat for red
glad jetty
Some finishing touches with panel liner and paints. Can't tell if second coat of red paint helped or not
glad jetty
Using pink as a base layer does help a lot
Hguc Gelgoog Marine is finished. I lost track how long it took me to build it but it was fun detailing it with the paint markers.
glad jetty
Wow rg sazabi box is huge.
glad jetty
Guntank is not as complicated but I think it only took me 2 hours to get this far lol. Plastic cement and tweezers came in clutch. I broke the peg and the tiny yellow piece wouldn't fit so I widened the opening too much and glued it on.
glad jetty
My 2 p bandai bootlegs arrived. Seems okay except the shield piece is damaged. And looks like gouf has waterslides neat
glad jetty
Started the police zaku. The pieces are so tiny I keep dropping them. Tried metallic red marker for eye but definitely looks more like bronze. Maybe because I did not try basecoat with white first oops.
glad jetty
Seems a lot of detail comes from the stickers
glad jetty
Got distracted so I didn't finish the police zaku today. Oh well.
glad jetty
I think I need to apply the stickers now otherwise it will be too hard to apply after I complete the assembly.
glad jetty
Miserable experience building this. I keep messing it up. The sticker just doenst look right no matter how i adjust it. Ended up painting the lines on other aide. Took me forever to realize I missed up the hip joint and it took me like 20+ minutes to take apart the leg to fix the joint. I honestly prefer the regular hg kits where the thigh is just two pieces while the police zaku thigh was like 10 pieces and incredibly difficult to separate.
glad jetty
Military police zaku is finished!
glad jetty
Update to my Federation and Zeon armies!
glad jetty
Started eg nu gundam yesterday. And sanded the beam saber hilt seamlines now it is loose lol oops.
Started gluing process for my first paintjob. Will save the gun and backpack tomorrow. And I can't glue the shoulder and torso until I finish the arms and legs. Might have to prime and paint those first too and do the prime and paint for shoulder/torso separately.
glad jetty
Pbandai let's go! Straight into the backlog lol.
glad jetty
Started sanding process spend over an hour maybe. Right side pieces were sanded. Did my best to remove some seamlines. I don't know how people have the patience to do this for kits with more pieces!
glad jetty
First girlpla is here the rest tomorrow.
glad jetty
Continuing gp01 trying to seal gaps without putty or sprue goo
glad jetty
Girlpla order!
No scribing tool just tried my best to trace the existing line on the face mask either hobby knife
glad jetty
It says grey primer but looks more like white maybe it is light gray. I read that it's okay if it's splotchy. Lots of brushstrokes lol. I will let it cure and try painting tomorrow. Then see how well the paint goes tomorrow
glad jetty
Almost done with gp01
glad jetty
More priming and detailing feet

thats nice painting skill vro
the booster and the camera on backpack has very meat and clear painting
glad jetty
the booster and the camera on backpack has very meat and clear painting
Thanks the camera and thrusters were painted using paint markers. They are easier to control since they aren't too thick or too thin just right. Just can't use them on big surfaces due to brushmarks.

Thanks the camera and thrusters were painted using paint markers. They are easie...
well you should try duolehui acrylic marker pen, they works well on big surfaces if ur using them properly
strange pathBOT

ok.. good luck
glad jetty
Primed feet and topcoated backpack. The metallic gunmetal doesn't seem to be shiny even with gloss coat
glad jetty
Mix of spongepainting, drybrushing on shoulder and feet. and layering Grey's to white on torso. Sponge/drybrushing seems better for white at least.
silver ruin
the paint has the texture of painting on a canvas, i like it
glad jetty
Yes sponge painting does leave a texture on it but as long as the color looks good
glad jetty
Think I'm finally done painting gp01 just need to topcoat varnish tomorrow then can fully assemble saturday
glad jetty
It still swear seems micron pen panel liner is not compatible with varnish
Finally started my first girlpla! Feida Nobel Gundam Berserker.
glad jetty
Why she so small lol
glad jetty
Okay NG GP01 is finished. Just small spots is missing matte coat.
glad jetty
I have to do so much sanding/cutting of pegs. They barely fit.
