Here's my portfolio if you will, a collection of images of all the kits I've completed since joining social media and so have good photos of! #Gundam #Gunpla

Yeah I will eventually graduate back to a tank. But I really can't afford to drop $100 on a compressor at the moment. And rattle cans were chalky because of heat and humidity.

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jul 11

Lovely blue/greens in that model!

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jul 11

Sharing what I grabbed and mentioned in my last post. $20 and allows me to prime with paint so no chalky rattle can in the humidity.

I got myself one of those cheap airbrushes from Amazon at around $20 that is USB-C rechargeable. I'd not want to use it for details but it serves as a decent primer sprayer as I'm in a place where rattle cans can only be used 1 month a year. #Warhammer #Warhammer40k #BlackTemplars #Hobby

Yeah for my personal preference it doesn't look great not drilled.

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jul 7

Probably overkill on my part but I drilled the barrel and the muzzle.

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jul 7

Was out a week on a well earned vacation. I did get my #BlackTemplar Intercessors build, then sub-assembled for priming. Curious though, do you all drill boltguns? #Warhammer #Hobby #40k

Hell of a week, a chunk of my roof blew away in a storm! I've only managed to get the other leg on the Gouf done. How everyone else's week has been better :D #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla.

It probably does yeah, but I need to some progress asap. Some of the builds that do inner frame, all at once then outer armour. Nope I'm building a limb/part completely.

Bootleg HG Gouf Prototype Mobility Demonstrator version. Say that 5 times fast 😀

Man, I need the gratification too much I can't do 2 simultaneously.

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jun 23

I tend to do, leg, waist, leg arm, torso, head, arm then backpack/accessories.

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jun 23

Does anyone else get second leg syndrome? Building one thing then not wanting to build the same thing again. Well I do, so sometimes I build the waist before the second leg. #Plamo #Gundam #Gunpla

He is basically Domino from the Deadpool movie.

The secret is I'm a basic builder and I only use markers so I just draw on and smudge the excess away with my thumb. Haven't gotten brave enough to try in or the flow type markers as I see people break models and I don't have a space for spirits.

GunplaGrownUp @gunplagrownup.bsky.social · Jun 22

Don't worry I still have #Gunpla projects in the works. I started this bootleg Gouf Proto Mobility Demonstrator build. Digging the military-ish colors. #Plamo #Gundam

Yes! Love the SNAA Knights!

My first model completed in 7 years, it was a surprisingly nostalgic experience. Here's my #BlackTemplars Marshal in all his glory. #Warhammer #Hobby #Wargaming

Oh yeah and I dunno why but I'm a sucker for shields that hold swords.

SNAA Round Table Knights Tristan renders are up! Which means we will get to see the color version soon and that a release is just around the corner! #Plamo #Gunpla

I've basically raided all the hardware stores looking for storage solutions. I use screw sorters for my big Gundam builds as well.
