The body of the Delta Gundam is finished. The articulation is okay, it's understandably stiff in the limbs and head. Although I don't want to really test the articulation on this kit. And now only the backpack, weapons, and Waverider parts left to go. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Started the backlog off with the Delta Gundam. It's best to work with gloves on since it's easy to leave fingerprints. One thing I hate off the bat with this kit is the nub placements, since they're on spots that make scratching off some of the gold inevitable. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Finished The Duel Blitz Gundam, and I loved how it turned out. The A.S. was surprisingly varied and solid overall. The lancer darts slotted in tightly, and the gleipner was fun to display, although it's best to paint and further detail it. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Got the rest of the Duel's body done. The Duel's articulation was solid off the bat, and detailing was good. Since the body was quick and easy to build, I decided to build some of the accessories as well. At this rate the kit should be finished shortly. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Made a small start on the Duel Blitz Gundam, and aside from detailing being tough in places it's easy so far. I do have a small change of pace in mind when finishing building the Duel's body. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

The Lightning Buster Gundam is finished and I liked it. While the articulation is good, it was tough getting the hands on the beam guns since I had to angle the arms just right. One other thing to do would be to fix up the beam launchers' ball joints. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

The lower half of the Busters body is finished. Detailing was very nice for the most part, although I do need to paint the pods in the backpack and the cameras in the crotch. It's best to keep the parts for the beam guns close since they can be easy to lose. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Made a small start on the Lightning Buster Gundam. Only got the torso and backpack done. If there was one thing I didn't like, it would be the stickers on the cheeks. Honestly, I wish they were small red parts to attach. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

The other striker packs were great to build. Thankfully, the Strikes articulation held well against the combined weight. One thing to watch out for is the sub arms meant for the beam launcher, since the ball joints connections are too loose to work with. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Built the Aile Striker Option set, and it's cool to see the brief weapons of the Strike were included. Only need to paint and further details to those accessories. The newer Aile Striker itself honestly is better with its red wings and optional parts. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Finally got a start on the HG Strike Gundam, and it's great so far. Detailing it was great, and its articulation is solid off the bat. Also got started on the Aile Striker option set, and I was surprised that the bazooka is taller than the Strike Gundam itself. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Mazinger Z (Infinity Ver.) is finished, and I really liked the end results. Detailing this kit was very satisfying to do. The accessories were cool, although the Jet Scrander is something to be very careful with, especially when displaying it. #MazingerZ #マジンガーZ #プラモデル

Mazingers' body is finished, only the Jet Scrander and accessories to go. The leg articulation is pretty good, though it does have a slight curl to look out for. I also had to secure the Hover Piloters' wings since they were a bit loose. #マジンガーZ #プラモデル

Got a good way in Mazingers build. Detailing was good yet tough in parts. One thing to look out for is the chest plates since it's easy to catch them on the arms. #プラモデル

Got an update on the backlog before the first post on my Mazinger build. So, another pre-order arrived recently, and now I have a new arranged order for the builds after Mazinger.

(Apologies for the late post) The Zaku II High Mobility Type is done, and it's very good and simple overall. I loved detailing it, although I had some ideas about the color scheme. It's best to fix up the articulation and the hand grip since the heat hawks weight can be tough. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Made a lot of progress on the origins version of the Zaku II High Mobility Type (Ortega Custom). Detailing was very nice, and while the articulation is good, I'd strengthen it given the possible weight of the giant heat hawk. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

So, my Early Guntank duo is done, and I love the results. They look great detailed, although I feel it's necessary to paint metallic green under the visors. The articulation is solid, though it took some time to get a feel on the arms and cannons. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Made a start with the Early Guntank, and I was surprised with the articulation in the lower half here. Especially since the treads can spread out far with those ball jointed parts. Shouldn't be long until it's finished, but I do have a surprise. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Got an update before the build of The Origins kits. The first two photos are a pre-order I made earlier in the year, along with the last two being the backlog I've accumulated since the middle of summer. I look forward to building them in time.

The Gebera Gundam is done, and despite being tough, I love how it turned out. I'm surprised the boosters were easy to work with, and the back weight wasn't a problem mid-air. The tough part is the long range rifle since it can be difficult to pose with. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

The Gebera's lower body is done, and while connecting the shins was a tough task, it turned out pretty well. I'm anticipating the backpack and accessories, so I tightened certain points of articulation immediately. Especially in the arms, hands, and legs. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Got a start on the Gerbera Gundam, and I love how it looks so far. I was surprised to see the part count and how much was put into this. One thing to fix immediately is the bicep connections, since the connecting peg there can be disconnected easily. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

The Gundam Mk-II is finished, and I love how it turned out. The only fix to make would be tightening the beam saber racks, so they aren't wobbly when posing. Also, with the port on the backpack, I would love to see if a G-Defenser could be attached. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

I got started on one of my favorite designs from Zeta, the Gundam Mk-II. The articulation is nicely done, and it looks great after detailing. The only things left to go are its pack and accessories. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Side note, I also used a spare arm from the powered arms pack on the regular Jesta's pack. It took me quite a bit to carefully sand the base of the connecting peg down to fit on the pack. Otherwise, that helped greatly on a properly articulated shield arm. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Had a quick surprise build with the Jesta Cannon. It's a very quick build when sticking to its default look. It looks very nice after detailing, and the articulation is okay despite the heels. There's plenty of spare parts from the regular Jesta as well. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Now for the second part of the dual build, The Gundam FSD. It's also very simple and easy to build, although it does have the same problem in the heels. There's also plenty of spare parts to work with afterward. One tip I have is to make the ammo belt flexible for easier poses. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Here's the first of another dual build I'd done a while back, The Gundam Local Type (NA Front). This kit was very simple and easy to build, the accessories were good, and it's very nice after detailing. The only downside would be that the heels articulation is restrictive. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

I also had a relatively short build with this Tilt Rotor I got recently. It looks great after detailing, but it takes some getting used to when posing overall. It benefits from adding to it, whether it's another tilt rotor or certain accessories. Which I don't have yet. #30MM

After getting a few accessory sets, I decided to go for a squad photo with my EAF kits. And a nickname I had in mind for this squad is The Shadow Seekers. I would love to make squad photos for the units of the other factions, but that'll be in the far future. #30MM #30MM地球連合軍

Finished the Baskyrotto in one go. And while it looks nice, there are needed fixes throughout. The joint connections in the upper chest, feet, and shoulder armor were easy to pop off when posing, so it's best to reinforce the kits' connections there. #30MM #30MM地球連合軍

Surprise, I had been building two Heavy Zoworts at the same time. I really love how both turned out, their articulation was better after fixing their joints, and the detailed appearance is nice. Honestly, I would love to customize them in the future. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Made a good stride on the Heavy Zowort. Only the accessories left to go. Detailing it was very fun to do, although I needed to tighten the kits joint connections. Especially in the upper chest, shoulders, and hips since they felt way too loose. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Here's a few more fixes that are needed during the builds for Units 4 and 5. The first would be fixing up the connections in the backpack, since it can disconnect easily when posing. The next would be making Unit 5's ammo belt flexible, since it can be stiff to work with. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ

Here's a dual build I did a long while back, Gundam Units 4 and 5. I love the look of both kits, but I really didn't like the extensive shield stickers. An immediate fix for both would be the holding hands, since it's easy to pop them apart when holding their signature weapons. #Gundam #Gunpla #ガンプラ
