WIP Update: finished assembly of the Manta-Ray backpack. Man this has been an amazing kit! Now I just need to do water slides and possibly a top coat, but might forgo that. (Stanley water bottle included for size comparison) #Gunpla #Plamo #InEra #Thunderbolt

WIP: body and weapons done. Still have to build the manta-ray backpack and water slides. This kit is insane! kind of bummed I didn’t paint up the details except on the trident, but I’d probably get burned out pretty quick with how much detail there is in the frame and the other parts. #Gunpla

Finished this quick snap build for the 30MF Dragonia Knight over the last weekend while on vacation. Love these 30 MF kits, so much fun and really lend themselves nicely to poses. #Gunpla #Bandai #30MF

WIP update: In Era Thunderbolt 2.0 Manta Ray. Phase 1 - inner frame is done! Man I love the details of this thing! Really trying hard to not want to paint and detail it all. Next up, panel lining all white/grey armor pieces.

Tooo a few weeks off, but my birthday weekend was this last weekend so I had to visit my local shop and treat myself. Excited for some of these. Need to power on with other kits though. #Gunpla #Gundam #Backlog

WIP: FM Aerial w/ Kosmos LED kit Almost done with these decals. It’s been a long slow road. Haven’t been in a rush and also took a nice long vacation with the family. But the end is in sight. Then on to construction and wiring LEDs. #Gundam #Gunpla

It seems inevitable that upon building enough Gundam models, one must also build a Gundam model home. Luckily, this thing didn’t have too many under gates. #Gunpla #Plamo

Yesterday I was able to do initial fits and top coat on my painted FM Aerial. I needed up painting more than I initially intended. Did internal frame, and all external non-white armor pieces. Just used various metallic markers. Realized last night I don’t have water slides 🤦‍♂️ #Gundam #Gunpla #Plamo
Bottom view of FM Aerial’s foot. Back/side view of FM Aerial’s upper leg. It is held in a gloved hand. Front view of FM Aerial’s waist section. It is held in a gloved hand. Shield/weapon bit pieces laid out on a cutting mat on a table.

Kosmos LED test for my FM Aerial kit. So far things are looking good. This is getting me excited to get moving on this build. Still need to do panel lining and maybe some frame painting. #Gundam #Gunpla #Plamo

As a lover of all the MGSD line, yes I absolutely will be getting the newly announced Kshatriya once released. I have really enjoyed seeing everyone’s builds of the Osiris Aerial Dominator, but don’t think I’m ready for something like that. The MGSD are fun, super detailed builds. #Gunpla #Gundam

Update on my MGSD Aerial build. Finished all panel lining and assembly of the kit. I still plan on doing decals and top coat to finish it off. Didn’t really do any color correction or painting of anything on this. Pretty straight forward build. #Gundam #Gunpla #Aerial #Model

Starting another build. The Full Mechanics Aerial. I also have the Kosmos light kit with this. Just cutting and organizing pieces right now. But realizing with this one, I currently have 3 builds in process. I need to finish the others. (I may have already broken a piece 🤦‍♂️) #Gunpla #Gundam #Plamo

Recently I’ve been working on my MGSD Barbatos. Trying my hand with a first attempt at weathering and battle damage. Normally I don’t like these looks but I have enjoyed this process. #Gunpla #Gundam
MGSD Barbatos head distressed with black and brown paints to simulate some weathering and damage from battle. MGSD Barbatos arms. Left arm is before weathering pain application, right arm is after. MGSD Barbatos chest distressed with black and brown and silver paints to simulate some weathering and damage from battle.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

WIP update: I got all the parts cut out, cleaned, and organized. But this is where this is going to stall out for a bit I think. I want to do something different of trying to something new with this one. Might try my hand at a distressed paint job. But not sure. #Gunpla #Gundam #Plamo

How do you spell coverup? I mean at this point, they burned the shovel in the fireplace. The same shovel they used to bury the bodies in the back yard. Then they bulldozed the house. Then paved over the lot. Then put up a plaque that says “NO BODIES BURIED HERE!”

Next build starting now. Not sure how much I’ll customize it or color alter. May just go straight build. I absolutely love the MGSD lineup. Wish there were more like them. Until I get the Aerial, this is the last one.
