Gundam Reference
I made this to share some of my #hobby pictures, primarily #gunpla and #ActionFigures. He/Him. Once I figure this out, I may migrate to #pixelfed.

@wirelesswire I have some DelpiDecals for the Aerial Rebuild, Zowort, Dilanza, and Darilbalde, but I’ve never purchased any G-Rework decals. I might be grabbing some at the end of the month for MG Barbatos.
2·4 days ago@RaspberryJam I loved the smoky gray covers over the shiny stickers on HG Aerial. I might give this one a purchase. Thank you!
@gunpla I did actually do the photoshoot, but I chose to put it on ani . social so I didn’t spam this community with the same kit again. Haha.
@RaspberryJam I keep seeing this kit everywhere online (must have had a recent restock or something), but that sticker sheet makes me nervous. Was it a hard build?
@gundam The other pictures for Lemmy:
@RaspberryJam @Akaru88 RG Epyon is one of the kits I finished assembling recently. Super fun kit. Don’t lose the tiny pieces like I did (eventually found it). Also the DelpiDecal waterslides for it look fantastic, if you want to spend the extra time and money.
@Fingolfinz I’ve had the website bookmarked since they announced. I’m so ready.
@Akaru88 I’ve used Testors Dullcote, but I always seem to waste too much of it; one can usually covers roughly 2 1/144 scale kits. I’ve had more success with Vallejo Matt Varnish in an airbrush, but it does require said airbrush. A shop near me recently started stocking Mr Hobby Clear Matte, so I might give that a whirl if I ever feel like spending the money.
@wirelesswire Maybe the brighter colors will break me from feeling like I have to put on every recommended decal. Haha.
@wirelesswire I didn’t even know the Spec II was a thing. That really is a minor recolor. I think I prefer the lighter colors of the base version (which is strange for me), but honestly without them beside one another I likely wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
Edit: Yeah, that sky blue on the skirting armor is fantastic. I like the boosters better on the Spec II, though, I will admit.

@Akaru88 The MG Vidar is another one I want to build one day, but I think I’ll wait a while due to the price. Same reason I got the Barbatos now instead of waiting for the Lupus later this year. I have the HG Vidar to tide me over (and the HG Lupus, although that was one of my first kits).
I’m a sucker for decals on the ones I really care about. There’s something about having it decked out with caution notices and such that I enjoy. Don’t like the process much, though. Haha
@Akaru88 In the past 4 days I’ve managed to find an MG Barbatos and an RG Force Impulse Gundam in person for a decent price, so my backlog has expanded. That Barbatos may jump the queue a bit, although I need to order waterslides for it.
My gunpla posting streak was broken after only 5 days, but honestly that was two more than I figured it would be. I have precisely 0 pictures in reserve and I haven’t been home enough to take any or do any building.
@tamiya_tt02 GQuuuuuuX is such a good kit! I don’t have the Seed Z’Gok, but my MG Z’Gok was pretty fun with all the tubes.
@TallonMetroid And that’s actually an old picture. I don’t have the shelf space for this hobby :blobcatnotlikethiscry:
@gunpla And the second picture for Lemmy

@gunpla I keep forgetting that Lemmy doesn’t show the other photos
@Akaru88 And here I was complaining about the color of the beam javelin. Surely the SB-13 runner they used in the Full Weapon Set wouldn’t have cost that much to add to the original.
@Akaru88 This is the Full Weapon Set version, so it comes with a few extras. Really the only reason I bought it. It looks like the beam rifle and shield are the same, but I can’t tell if the normal EG comes with any beam effects. Mine came with two, so I robbed one for my EG nu custom.
