First sunny day with 50%-ish humidity after two weeks. Opportunity to do some topcoating and finishing touches on this ‘Cat. More photos as soon as the topcoat is fully cured.

Straight build and it already looks intimidating.

WIP: last year, I bought a built MG Char’s Zaku II 2.0 but had to shelf it because it just didn’t work with the rest of my MG OYW display. Figured I’d convert it into a Borjarnon instead. Modded an excess pilot figure from my MG Re-GZ (very difficult to carve a face at that scale). #gunpla #wip

MG Cow + ∀ Gundam: another one for the display shelf. Kit needed no color correction apart from the ∀ markings. Minimal seam line removal at the head and beam rifle. This is the second kit I finished without panel liners - just semi-dry oil paint gunk wash after the 1st topcoat. #gunpla #turnagundam

WIP: Second kit with absolutely zero panel liner used. All the panel lines here are done with oil paint semi-dry gunk wash. Took a lot of trial and error before I came up with a much less messy (and paint-consuming) version of the more popular slap-chop method. #gunpla #turnagundam #gundam

My OYW display, finally finished. 2 1/2 years in the making. I didn’t include the Zeong because I plan to have the RG (with the 2.0) in a separate display. The Gouf was supposed to be part of a desert display but I don’t have the space for it anymore. #gunpla #gundam0079 #gundam

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. Not a fan of clear kits in the first place and it was an impulse buy because (heh) I like Balls. This is the TGB mechanical clear ver, detailed the inner frame, then just applied decals and clear coat on the outer parts. #gundam #mgball #gunpla

RG ν Gundam RX-93-1 [test type]. I posted an earlier attempt on an EG kit about a year ago and it was…okay. This one looks closer to the line art. #gunpla #realgrade #nugundam #gundam #anaheimelectronics

EG ʋ Gundam + BL fin funnels and bazooka. I wanted a ʋ Gundam that’s anime-accurate so went with the EG. Bandai announced the option parts set months after I’ve already bought the BL ‘funnels, unfortunately. #nugundam #gunpla #gundam #charscounterattack #amuroray

I will never understand why Gundam The Origin ever only had one MG kit. They could have at least included this core fighter with the grampa MG. #gundam #gundamtheorigin

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

The MG Gundam RX-178 MK-II 2.0 hold up well (mostly) but I don’t like how it needs to be lit at certain angles to get the right glowing eye effect. A Ver Ka is long overdue. #gundam #gunpla #gundammkii #zetagundam

I’m on the fence whether or not I should install decals on this guy. #turnagundam #gunpla #gundam

HG Rick Dom. Done with weathering, final topcoat, and metallics. I just need to finish doing the same to two more Zeon kits before I can finish my One Year War display, which has been an ongoing project for more than a year now. #gunpla #gundam #rickdom #zeon

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

HGUC Zaku II Revive. Took me a while to apply weathering (“a while” being over a year) and final topcoat, but here it is. As with my other OYW kits, this will be part of a diorama, which I hope to finish by next year. #zakuii #gunpla #gundamstagram #gundam #zeon

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

I’ve always wanted a grampa kit that has modern proportions but resembles the original lineart, so I figured I’d mod an HGUC Revive kit. After seam and panel line removal, major hip modification, hands from a Gouf Custom and a Zaku I (among others), here it is. #gunpla #gundam #rx78

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

I’m trying to decide which one to bulld next. No idea if bsky has polls but, I guess comments will do. The Ball is the clear type and the inner frame details will be detailed. #gundam #gunpla #verka #ballverka #rx782verka

Recently got me a Daban EG Nu Gundam kit just for the fin funnels, which I planned to include with my Bandai EG. Painted the main kit to match the “test ver.” colorway from the Master Archive Mobilesuit mook as a quick weekend build. #gunpla #gundam #nugundam #charscounterattack

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Building the inner frame first was suprisingly efficient. Took just about three days from initial build to hand-painting details. Used to take me weeks painting individual parts before building. #gunpla #gundam #mastergrade #jegan #charscounterattack

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Another one done — MG Gundam MKII 2.0. This is going to a part of a Zeta Gundam trio display. Seated pilot figure is Emma Sheen, standing pilot is Kamille Bidan. #gunpla #gundamzeta #gundammkii

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

I meant to write “1st topcoat done”. I still need to add weathering, final topcoat, and some metallic paint (by way of weathering) to finish it off.

000

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

MG Re-GZ (2019 kit) done. It’s the PB Unicorn version, but I painted the red parts to make it the CCA one (I know, I know, there’s a TGBL version). Not my favorite kit — difficult to pose, the hand parts keep falling out, and the torso keeps leaning to the right. #gunpla #regz #gundam #cca

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Taking time off work and resuming some reading. Sandman Mystery Theatre is one of the best titles published under Vertigo, and the confirmation of a second compendium made the wait worth it. I’d upgrade if DC decides to publish omnibuses. #sandmanmysterytheatre #goldenagesandman #wesleydodds

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Got days of unexpected downtime at work, figured I’d tackle my 2019 MG Re-GZ, all 28 runners of it. I could get the Gundam Base exclusive Char’s Counterattack version but I figured I’d just save myself half the cost, get this instead, and just paint the H runner red. #gunpla #regz #gundam #cca

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Thanks for the heads-up! Looking at the manual, it look like the treads will take a lot of work, particularly at the weathering stage.

000

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Behold! Took my chance on a Japan-based seller with few reviews, since the list price happened to be close to SRP. Lucked out on a first pressing (red Bandai logo, 11/2015 runner date). Some parts are knocked off the runner but nothing damaged or missing. #gundam #gunpla #gundamtheorigin

Catching up with my decal backlog: Do-Dai Kai with Karaba Air Force decals. HGUC revive Hyaku Shiki for scale. Planning on clearing all the decal/weathering backlogs first before starting a new build. #zetagundam #gundam #gunpla #dodaikai #hyakushiki

Trying out one of my empty shelves for size…looks like this will go to the top of my Kallax instead when I’m done with this kit. The MG Jegan and Re-GZ won’t fit in here. #gunpla #gundam #nugundam #verka #charscounterattack

Finally able to resume installing decals on my MG Gundam MKII 2.0. Got distracted by a few things over the past few weeks. #gundam #gunpla #gundammkii #zetagundam

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Finished the basic build of my HGUC GM II, painted with AEUG colors. I know there is a P-Bandai version, but the price is just too much for just a minor color swap. Clear and shiny parts to be installed after decals, weathering, and topcoat. #gundam #zetagundam #gunpla #aeug #gmii

Just a couple of guys eager to show you some #Zeon hospitality. #gunpla #gundam

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

A couple of builds in the pipeline. The GM II is the regular kit but I’ll be painting it in AEUG colors…not paying thrice over just for a P-Bandai color swap. #gunpla #WIP

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Crazy how Bandai still keeps this in print. It’s not as advanced by today’s standards but the design still holds up well. #gunpla #gundam #rx78 #gundamverka #mastergrade

I just realized bsky has a lower character and photo limit, so apologies if my recent haul post has inconsistent formatting.

5/5 I definitely overpaid for the MG Ball Ver Ka. I ordered one from a guy in Japan back in October, before the reprints were announced. The only pro in this situation is that it’s an earlier printing from 2011, so the molds wouldn’t be as worn as they are today. Still has ABS plastic, though.

010

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

4/? I wasn’t planning on getting the GM II, but I realized there was an AEUG color variant (there’s a P-Bandai version, but I’m not paying thrice over for a color swap), and the colors are fairly simple to airbrush over.

Clifford Jongko @tapsilogic.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

3/? My HG Zeta display is coming along well, thanks to a long-awaited reprint of a certain yellow mobile suit that still hasn’t been reprinted for a very long time, and still hasn’t received the MG treatment. Fa Yuiry deserves better.

2/4 I know I should probably offload my X-Tinction Agenda and X-Cutioner’s Song OHCs, but I realized the paper stock is way better the current omnis so…flimsy excuse, but I don’t mind double-dippin if it’s X-Men.
