Those are all from the new Gundam Card Game, a couple friends and I have been trying it out. You can see the rest of them here: www.gundam-gcg.com/en/cards/ind...

Honestly I could make some joke about oil leaks but honestly I've always wanted to own an E30 or E34 Touring, so I don't think I have a leg to stand on there.

My perspective on it has been that they're more than a little lacking in reading comprehension. I say this somewhat jokingly but it's a big book that basically says, "Don't be an asshole" not a hard concept.

Hold up, I think Psycho Gundam deserves at least a B

it punched the surface of the desk pretty good and then emptied all of the water from the moisture trap pretty quickly

Certainly made me jump but I don't think the neighbours heard it, wasn't all that loud

My compressor died in the dumbest way possible, it popped a hole in the bottom of tank. Didn't trigger either of the safety valves just went off like a gunshot instead.

As a Canadian, I'm game. I'm tired of the 51st state BS. I personally think it would be hilarious for Donald Trump to be the first US president in history to lose a state.

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

I don't think you intended to make this point but, some of the most easily identified "gun parts" in this situation could just as easily be procured from toys. Furthermore you never needed a 3D printer to make a ghost gun in the first place, a trip to the local hardware store could do the same thing

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Definitely in, already have bad ideas.

2025, has been a pretty good year for building stuff, I didn't finish as much as I did in 2024 a lot of what I completed this year was a lot more labour intensive so things took some extra time. I also started a lot of projects that I intend to finish in the coming year.

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Thank you very much! That something I've been working at getting better at :D

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

I have very much been looking forward to the completed pics of this one, and they most certainly do not disappoint, Brilliant Work!

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

Completed my touch ups and the flat coats on all four kits, and started taking some completed photos for the @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Completed the Gyan! I'm very pleased with that purple paint, in hindisght I think I would have preferred a darker grey instead of the black I used, but altogether I'm pretty pleased with the end result. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

060

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Back to work on the Gyan! Started work on the paint today, went for the more classic look for the shield at least. The unit overall will be Purple, which I'm looking forward to (I finally found some fun shades of purple paint). @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Very pleased with how this turned out, I think it is my favourite of the three I've built so far. very pleased with how the colours came out as well feels very identifiable as a Gelgoog Striker. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

I was very fortunate to have located a HGGQ Gyan which will be the 4th and final entry, I have a couple of ideas that I think will work well for it. But for now I'm just enjoying how absolutely enormous the lance this thing carries is. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

Same, removing them helped me get that GM likeness a bit more

010

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Here we go! more progress on my soon to be green HGGQ Gelgoog. I still have a beam spear to redo, but I'm pretty pleased with the result so far. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

Next up, I'm going Green! I've made things significantly more challenging with this one, we'll see how it goes! @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

0101

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Feel pretty good about this one, seems pretty identifiable as a "Powered Gelgoog" The orange paint came out pretty well for once as well. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

0172

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

It took a few iterations to get the backpack and collar components lined up to something I liked the look of and fit the overall shape of the kit. With a bit of orange paint it should look a bit like a Powered Gelgoog. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

061

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

So here is this year's second entry into @theceruleanproject.bsky.social with my secondary self imposed restriction of HGGQ kits, I've got a Gelgoog. Theming will be orange! I've already started 3D printing parts and making revisions for this one, it has me pretty excited to show. #gunpla

040

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

That would be why I'm here on Bluesky. Elon is lame as hell.

000

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Pretty much done my first project this year for @theceruleanproject.bsky.social I've got paint on everything, the theme colour for this one was of course blue. Just needs a few touch ups and a round of flat coat. #gunpla I think I'm gonna go in order of the provided list, orange is next.

0143

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

Back once more from the drawing board! tweaked things a lot and have added a few more parts to the mix. I've got forearm chain guns, leg boosters, and extended the shoulder joints to help make the torso look just a little bit wider. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

061

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Try to think a bit about your target audience. Its fine to be proud of your work but you need to understand that judges at an IPMS style event aren't going to have the background knowledge to understand how cool your heavily customized gunpla that pays homage to a 45 year old anime is.

050

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Honestly, I think a lot of Gunpla builders have the wrong idea about how these contests are judged, it is all about how much work you put in and the quality of that work. While something more Gunpla specific might be more about creativity and the impact of what you make, posing matters.

150

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Definitely have to agree here. I've been a pretty active participant in a lot of IPMS style events for the last decade and I've entered a lot of Gundam and adjacent mecha kits in those contests over the years.

130

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

That's cool as hell, I kind of want to make one

110

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

Test fitting a few 3D printed bits on the HGGQ Red Gundam, there's a few layered parts for each component as well but I wanted to test fit the base parts to see what needs to be redrawn as well. #gunpla

090

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Would also recommend @theceruleanproject.bsky.social they've got a pretty cool group build going again this year to support the Trevor Project and a lot of talented builders make an appearance in the showcase.

021

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

I think this could be a really good thread, if folks just come through and recommend a handful of other builders. Some of my favorites: @gunplamom.bsky.social, @whitewulfe.bsky.social, @mokiplamo.bsky.social, @juno-uno.bsky.social, @doghousehobbies.bsky.social, and @wh-design.bsky.social

If you eat the nubs you can have macroplastics too

020

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Yeah the inversion of that has been wild. I graduated high school in 2010 and talking about anime or manga was basically taboo for all of my schooling.

010

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Starting on the @theceruleanproject.bsky.social for this year. I'm starting with Blue and we'll see how far I can go for this. HGGQ Red Gundam is a super fun kit by the way. #gunpla

0111

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

I enjoyed this one, there aren't many seam lines or stickers so I think most of the AC6 kits are going to look pretty good right out of the box. I found it to be a bit lacking in pose-ability, the elbows are almost at max bend now. In trade the kit matches the aesthetics of the game almost dead on.

110

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

Still working on the weaponry situation but pretty pleased with how this has progressed. #gunpla

0121

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

Hell yeah! I had the same idea but built it out of an HGUC Gaplant

010

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

The other thing I would add would be that this is a model kit, you as the builder have total control over how you present your kit, there are ways to control the viewing angle and distance so the viewer gets the optimal experience you envision, look at vignettes, dioramas and even shadowboxes.

040

Warmachine395 @warmachine395.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

That's just kind of how judging works, I really don't like this take. To stand a few feet back and go "that one looks kind of cool, I think I'll give that one gold" is kind of an insult to the people who put in the work to make something and come to a competition.
