After the RGM-79 and Sniper II builds, I grabbed several more MG and HG kits for some mass-production goodness. #gunpla #plamo #gundam

Without downloading pics, where are you at mentally?

So excited to finally play this game in English! I bought both Sakura Taisen games for the Sega Saturn back when they originally released in 96/98, and I brute forced my way through, having very little knowledge of Japanese. It was 100% worth the effort though. Classic games, both of them. ❤️

Ready to level up from fingernail nub rubs. 😅 Thanks to @spriteborne.bsky.social and others for making this recommendation a while back! #gunprimer #gunpla #plamo

Next up is my first kit from Kotobukiya, the Dolores Orbital Frame from ZOE Dolores,i. I’ve heard good things about this one and I love its colors. We’ll see how this goes! #plamo #zoneoftheenders #anime #konami

Here’s the HG Gundam F91 all finished up with topcoat and another pose. The build itself was pretty standard (and tiny!), but I love its overall design, strong lines, and svelte, jet-like body. Good stuff, and I do think I need the MG now. 😁 #gunpla #plamo #gundamf91

After several builds, I like trimming down the runners that still have unused parts and bag them up with the extra accessories I’m not using for display. I don’t know if I’ll ever use them (much like the thousands of small Lego pieces I’ve amassed over the years), but I do enjoy doing it. #gunpla

Took a short break from most social media over Easter but I got most of the HG F91 done. Still have the backpack & weapons left, but the main assembly is done. A rather unremarkable build that makes the best case so far for sanding down seam lines. 😂 My goodness, this had a lot of them! #gunpla

Thank you to the Bluesky Gunpla community for steering me right on GM kits. I’ve built two so far and have a growing backlog of others to get to soon! My next question… what can you tell me about non-Bandai/Kotobukiya kits, and are there any that you think are must builds? #gunpla #plamo

I love all the great art I see here on Bluesky! While I rarely ever draw anymore, I sometimes like to try. This basic Pikachu was my first shot at using Procreate about 1.5 years ago. I used a background from the Let’s Go games for this. Maybe I’ll try something Gundam-related soon. 🤔 #art #drawing

One last picture of the MG Exia Ecopla before it goes up on the shelf. This thing is a real pain to get fitted out and posed with its weapons and accessories, and yet it remains a pretty compelling model to me. I suppose its challenges and quirks are what make it interesting. #gunpla
