Always! It’s been a little while so I’m pretty rusty too, find myself speeding up again a bit though, over this last day

Noticed this old post popping back up in my notifications feed a teeny bit! The lead up to Requiem was a fun time. ✨

I had a little fun scribbling a chibi Gundam EX.. 😅

I do love how unapologetic that color is - ah.. it’s a tricky decision!

gundampixel @gundampixel.bsky.social · 1h

Thank you! Yeah, I originally was thinking of the second, but leaning back towards the first

gundampixel @gundampixel.bsky.social · 1h

Yeah, I’m leaning in that direction currently

If curious, it’s this piece here - which pretty convincingly looks like multiple parts but is just one per half.

Masking can be a little time consuming, but always satisfying when you don’t totally mess it up 😅 Couldn’t resist giving the Gundam Zirius frame a few metallic details here and there, to help break it up.

Question! Looking at paint options for the MG Gundam Barbatos Lupus. Barbatos being one of few mobile suits for which I’d go with gold over yellow. Which of these three tones speaks ‘Barbatos Lupus’ to you? 🤔

I’m actually pleased about this? The story was nothing much, but anything to free it from its Meta Quest shackles. Also interesting that the new official site features Silver Phantom in the ‘Series’ section..

Yeah, the clear runners are typically quite hard/brittle - they don’t offer much give when cutting. A neat cut with a fairly good pair of nippers - but not as fragile as GodHand Ultimates - is usually a safe bet.

And there they are.

Full kit in this case, at least for the time being

I don’t usually go for clear color, but I feel like if you sprayed more of a smoke clear color on the transparent parts, this new Mechanical Clear MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam could go pretty hard.

Your projects are shockingly aspirational (good luck with the work hunting 🤞)

Me too! Always fun to follow & engage with the conversation whilst a show is airing.

gundampixel @gundampixel.bsky.social · 12h

Just search for Giant Robot FM on any podcast platforms, etc - if you haven’t do so already ✨

Yay, it’s on the free feed! If you can bear with me being a little early-morning-tired and a touch nervous at the beginning, this a good time! General Gundam/Japan chat also featured throughout, even if GQuuuuuuX wasn’t totally for you. 🎙️

Giant Robot FM @giantrobotfm.bsky.social · 16h

As an extra special treat, we're releasing our Side 6 Soundwaves back catalogue on the free feed! This week: @gundampixel.bsky.social joins us to discuss ep. 3 of GQuuuuuuX! Like, repost, tell a friend! MACHUESDAYS AREN'T OVER!

No Build or SD included it seems

gundampixel @gundampixel.bsky.social · 22h

As far as I’m aware, this is an IBO specific thing - there are books etc! But you never know I guess. I’ve just added pics in a comment following the main one here, hopefully helpful!

Great to see those X designs in there (just a sample here)

And.. the full set of 141 cards from the upcoming Dual Impact [GD02] Booster Pack collection is now also on the official Gundam Card Game site. Some very nice ones in there 🔥

Yeah, we’re really at the point where newer releases are leveling out with older releases within more complex lines

gundampixel @gundampixel.bsky.social · 23h

Fashion Outlets no less! (I had not, thanks for the share)

gundampixel @gundampixel.bsky.social · 23h

The full set of 32 Clan Unity [ST06] starter deck cards has been posted on the official Gundam Card Game site now. Nice to see GQuuuuuuX entering the ring. Take a look! www.gundam-gcg.com/en/cards/ind...
