Super clean. Looks great.

As for anime wing RG, I started building 1/100 and never looked back. I just dug these guys out for photos because I posted all my MG’s and needed material for my daily post challenge

I have other stand arms, I just didn’t want to dig trough the bowl of spare parts to find one. This was closer at hand and it was only temporary. The 1/144’s generally live in a box in my shed. I borrowed the action base and parts from an mg I usually display.

It would be nice to be able to filter by standard or limited release.

You can just say that the decal weren’t present in the anime or manga so you didn’t put them on the model and the shield got lost in battle. Lol

I will find out soon-ish. I have an MG Fleugel on pre-order from P-Bandai.

No problem. I’ll talk about Gunpla all day.

Mostly. PG or Perfect Grade indicates that the model is 1/60 scale but also has more detail than smaller models.

I’ve always wanted to build a PG, but I don’t think my wife would let me keep it in the house.

I’ve started a new build. MG Gouf 2.0

Thanks. Just shy of 10 hours on decals. I never exactly “liked” the Jegan. I bought it on impulse when it was on sale. After building the kit, I thought the design was cool but I hated the color. And to be 100% transparent, this is not my original design. I found it online and changed the colors a little bit.

MG Jegan

Full paint. Only the clear pieces didn’t change color. G-rework waterslides. The decal sheet is on par with ver. Ka kits I’ve built. So many waterslides in hard places. On compound curved surfaces. Over corners. Across panel gaps. Decals everywhere.

I feel like it could be piloted by someone with a name now and it’s no longer destined to be beam saber fodder.

The MG Jegan has finally done getting painted. I have a set of waterslides that it’s getting now. For everyone that has been keeping up with the situation, I ended up getting Gaia Notes #021 semi-gloss white thinned 1:1 with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. Everything came out nice and smooth. No topcoat will be applied because I like the shine level.

 

The MG Unicorn / MS Cage project is done!!! Complete with people from several different timelines.

 

My Unicorn broke its lower knee joint last night. It was hanging on an action base. I bumped the table. Lower leg fell off. I suspect that I damaged the little ring connector during assembly and it was barely touching but gave way when the table got jarred.

 

The MG Jegan is coming along

More progress on the MS Cage. Also did a little work on the custom painted MG Jegan.

Side note for anyone following along at home, the createx white that I sprayed never dried. It is still sticky a week later. I am going to strip it off and try something else. And recommendations on a good white. Would be a plus if it is already satin or semi-gloss.

Bonus fruit in background.

 

The MS Cage is coming along nicely.

 

There’s not much to paint on the Unicorn, so I’m painting the MS Cage and decided to finally paint the people I’ve been collecting.

 

The MG Unicorn is dry fit. Now for paint and decals.

 

What are you all working on?

My power was out due to storms yesterday evening so I couldn’t do any paint work on the Jegan. As such I e started building the MG Unicorn I got yesterday.

 

Biggest MG box I’ve seen
