Here are more pictures of the HH 1/144 Zaku (GQ). 🙂 I always have a lot of fun taking pictures of the Zakus. 😄 The bulky upper legs limit how much movement you get out of the hips, but this thing can still strike some pretty good poses with the articulation that it has. #Gunpla

Damn, people are really liking the GQ Zaku! 😂 Thank you guys so much for all of the likes on it! I’ll try to take more pictures of it soon. 🙂

Had it sitting around since August, so I finally put together the HG 1/144 Zaku (GQ). 🙂 I only used a few of the included sticker decals on this one (The GQ marking decals are notoriously bad), and substituted paint for the rest. I always forget how wonky these GQ Zakus look. 😂 #Gunpla

A very pleasant but unexpected find at my local Target today! 😄 #GundamCCG

Here are better shots of the P-Bandai HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam Spec II (Final Battle Image Color) that I took. 😄 The articulation on this thing is absolutely stellar, and the accessories gives this kit a pretty wide range of display options. 😄 #Gunpla

I finished the HG 1/144 Kabakali today, and I have to say, it’s a very interesting kit! The color separation is really good on this kit, and even if you skip what little paint work is needed, it still looks really good! 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I also got the HG 1/144 Bocata’s Gelgoog (GQ) done recently. 🙂 I had most of the panel lining and paint work on this kit done when the Destiny Gundam Spec II arrived, so I held off on building this one until after I finished the Destiny. 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Got the HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam Spec II (Final Battle Image Color) all put together (sorry for the poor lighting 😅). :) between panel lining, apply stickers, touch up paint, and assembly, this build took me about four days. 🙂 More pictures coming soon! 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I don’t order kits directly from P-Bandai too often, but every now and then, they come out with something I just gotta have. 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I put together the Blokees Champion Class Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime, and this may be one of the most highly articulated Champion Class Transformers kits that Blokees has released yet! 🤩 Definitely worth buying! 😄 #Blokees

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Okay, when were you guys going to tell me I could upload more than 4 pictures at a time?! 😆 Anyway, here are some better pictures of the HG 1/144 Gouf Ignited (Heine Westenfluss Custom). 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Blokees recently released the Champion Classic Bumblebee movie Bumblebee, and I had to have him. 😂 Small and cute, just like you’d expect from this version of Bumblebee. 😄 Very quick and easy to assemble, and includes his battle mask, blaster, and blades. 😄 #Blokees

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I finished building the new HG 1/144 Gouf Ignited [Heine Westenfluss Custom], and this thing is AWESOME! 🤩 The color separation is almost perfect, and the entire kit only uses five sticker decals. The way the shoulders are designed makes them a bit tight, but other than that, WOW! 🤩 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I finished putting together the HG 1/144 Altron Gundam. 🙂 I found it at my local Target last week, and decided “Eh, why not?”. There’s a tiny bit of paintwork needed on this kit, but most of the color separation is actually pretty good! 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Finally got around to taking some pictures of the HG 1/144 GQuuuuuuX (Endymion Unit Awakened), and this thing is awesome! 😄 I had to do quite a bit of paintwork on it, but I enjoy it, so it’s no biggie. Definitely a must have kit if you’re a big fan of the GQuuuuuuX. 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Made a stop at one of my local hobby shops today, and I never get tired of going there. 😄 If you’re ever in the Burbank area, I highly recommend checking out Burbank’s House of Hobbies. 🙂 They have tons of Gunpla, as well other various kinds of plastic models and supplies. 😄

Here’s the finished head and torso for the MG 1/100 Gundam AGE-2 Normal. 🙂 I’m not going to use the included marking decals on this kit because I honestly find thrm very minimalistic compared to other MG kit marking decals. #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Now working on what will be my 50th Master Grade kit, and this one has one of the most interesting cockpit gimmicks I’ve seen in a while. Most MG cockpits just open so you can see the pilot, but this one actually lowers the pilot seat out from the cockpit! 😃 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I recently built the HG 1/144 Hambrabi (GQ), and I have to say, this may be one of the most unique HG kits that I’ve built all year. It uses some really interesting techniques and engineering for the build. And honestly, it’s pretty cool! 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

After a good three days of painting parts, I finally started putting together the HG 1/144 GQuuuuuuX [Endymion Unit Awakened]. 🙂 I accidentally messed up the sticker for the head camera, so I actually had to paint that. #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I got another Gundam booster box recently. :) This time, I went with the Phantom Aria set. I didn’t get as many hits as I did in the Freedom Ascension box, but I did pull most of the cards that I was after in this set, so yay! 😄 #GundamCardGame

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Getting ready to get started on my 50th Master Grade kit! #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I finally caved and bought a booster box of the Gundam trading cards, and honestly, these things are really cool! I got some pretty cool kits, too! 😄 #GundamCardGame

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I finished working on the MG Gundam X, and I have to say, this is a great kit! It’s a major improvement over the HG version, and the engineering holds up pretty well against modern MG kits. 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

I finished the HG 1/144 Gundam Barbatos Adapt, and I have mixed feelings on it. It’s a pretty cool looking kit, but I really don’t like the color correcting stickers on this one. They don’t look bad, they’re just annoying to apply on this one. #Gunpla

110

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I finished the MG 1/100 Gundam X, and honestly, it looks really good! Pretty much everything that was done wrong with the HG version was fixed with the MG version. More pictures coming soon, but I definitely recommend this one over the HG version. 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I’ve been kind of out of it for the past couple of months. I think part of it was because my cat was dying, and I was internalizing so much of my fear and stress. It’s taken a lot out of me lately doing my usual posts because I feel like I’m forcing myself to speak when I’m not quite ready to.

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Here are a few pictures of the P-Bandai exclusive RG 1/144 Tallgeese II all put together. 😄 I honestly love how this kit turned out! #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Here’s the other Metal Cardbot that I got, Red Blitz. 😄 The articulation on this figure is a bit more limited compared to Tachy, but he’s still really fun to transform and pose. #MetalCardbot #RedBlitz

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

And now for something a bit different! I recently got my first couple of Metal Cardbot figures. 😄 First off is Tachy! This is a super fun figure to transform and pose, and the articulation is really impressive! #MetalCardbot #Tachy

@gooseworx.bsky.social Thank you so much for bringing us The Amazing Digital Circus. You shared with us such an amazing and truly wonderful story, and I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you so much for sharing this story and these characters with us.

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Finally got around to taking some pictures of the Blokees Champion Class Marvel Rivals Spider-Man kit. 😄 I chose to panel line the web lines on him because those weren’t filled in, but this really is such a dynamic kit. 😄 #Blokees

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Got started on the RG 1/144 Tallgeese III. 🙂 I know the instructions say to start from the feet and build up, but I wanted to do the head and torso first. 😂 It’s hard to see, but I used metallic green paint on the visor in place of the included sticker decal. #Gunpla #PBandai

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I finished the P-Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame. 🙂 Overall, I love it! The water transfer decals gave me way too much trouble, so I only ended up using three or four of them, but it looks fine without them. But yeah, I definitely like this kit. 😄 #Gunpla #PBandai

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Saw him in stock on P-Bandai and couldn’t resist getting him. 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Aaand finished! 😄I officially have the P-Bandai exclusive MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame all put together. 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Got the arms done. 😄 If you look at the emblem on the left shoulder, you can see where I messed that up. 😅 Little bastard really didn’t want to come off the sheet. 😆 I also painted the fingers to look how they do on the box. Not too shabby looking, either. 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

P-Bandai Master Grade kits are really cool, but I wish that Bandai would normalize including both sticker decals and water transfer decals so we can pick which ones we want to use.

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Finally started working on one of my grail kits that I finally found a good deal on; the P-Bandai exclusive MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame. 😄 I’ve been after this kit for seven or eight years now, so I’m happy to finally have it and be able to build it. 😄 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Yeah, I can see how the wheels falling off would be problematic. 😬

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Here are more pictures of the HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00. 🙂 I have to say, the engineering of this kit really impressed me! There are times that some of it borderlines RG. Bandai put a lot of work into making this kit as poseable as possible, and it shows! #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Two more builds that I completed this month are the HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type-00, and the HG 1/144 Amida’s Hyakuren. 🙂 #Gunpla

Those who are truly friends with me know that I’m quiet. VERY quiet. I’m grippingly shy, and it can often take me days to work up the nerve to respond to a single DM. They also know me to be deeply caring and loyal. Never mistake my quietness as me not caring.

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Here are some more pictures I took of the HG 1/144 Legend Gundam. 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Got a booster box of the new Maze of Muertos set, and while I didn’t pull any collectors rates or starlight rares, I still got some pretty cool cards, including two of the chibis that I was after in the set. 😄 #Yugiohtcg #MazeofMuertos

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

Finished building the HG 1/144 Legend Gundam (revive). 🙂 This is an amazing kit! The build is both fun and straightforward, and the finished kit is pretty solid. Bandai is really upping their High Grade game with kits like this! #Gunpla

My next Gunpla project is going to be the new HG 1/144 Legend Gundam. 🙂 #Gunpla

StrummFan217 @strummfan217.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Finally got around to taking pictures of the HG 1/144 White Gundam that I finished building late last month. :) All in all, it’s a pretty solid kit, but it needs a lot of extra paint work to really shine. #Gunpla
