Sharing what I grabbed and mentioned in my last post. $20 and allows me to prime with paint so no chalky rattle can in the humidity.

I got myself one of those cheap airbrushes from Amazon at around $20 that is USB-C rechargeable. I'd not want to use it for details but it serves as a decent primer sprayer as I'm in a place where rattle cans can only be used 1 month a year. #Warhammer #Warhammer40k #BlackTemplars #Hobby

Was out a week on a well earned vacation. I did get my #BlackTemplar Intercessors build, then sub-assembled for priming. Curious though, do you all drill boltguns? #Warhammer #Hobby #40k

Hell of a week, a chunk of my roof blew away in a storm! I've only managed to get the other leg on the Gouf done. How everyone else's week has been better :D #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla.

Does anyone else get second leg syndrome? Building one thing then not wanting to build the same thing again. Well I do, so sometimes I build the waist before the second leg. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

HG XFS Dark Mana - AKA Hi-Nu Influx. Straight built, metallic accents and G-Rework decals. Final build is not stable at all, it was a decent bootleg build but not cream of the crop. Ultimately it looks badass on my shelf. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

I'm a former social media life and different hobby fixation I was big into #Warhammer and #HorusHeresy i sold most of my collection when I moved to the US. But I still have my 3000pt HH Death Guard army back home. I'm re-igniting that passion. Can't promise I'll be this standard immediately.

My account has been built on Gunpla, hence the GunplaGrownUp but would it be a deal breaker if I shared other hobby content? I'm currently in the process of returning to 40k after a 7 year break.

If you remember I decided not to use the giant cannons on the Hi-Nu Influx. Despite giant shoulder cannons being my thing, they were just 2 pieces and the lack of color separation didn't look good. Anyway I got decals on the wings and fin funnels. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

Decals on the legs done, I did end up supplementing the G-Rework decals with some Slave Wraith logos for the leg. I felt the skull leaned into the Gundam color palette quite well. #Gundam #Gunpla #Plamo

I'm using the #Grework RG Hi-Nu Gundam decals with this kit. It's not a 1:1 fit and the color/contrast is different so I'll have to rework placement a bit. #Gundam #Gunpla #Promo

Put the Manhunter 57 Ground Armor into the photobooth. A fun build with a very delicate connection between the upper and lower torso. But a great palate cleaner if you're burned out on Gundam. I will decal it eventually but I don't have an easy set up for decals yet. #Gunpla #Plamo
