Can definitely say it's an underrated machine from an underrated entry.

So I built the Super X in one day.
This is a very easy kit to build and aside from tightening certain parts into place there weren't any problems. The only other thing needed to be done is to apply the included decals and weathering it.

The GM Cannon is finished and it's pretty good.
It looks great after detailing, and while it has good articulation it's best to fix up the waist skirt and the torso connection.
I'd like to come back to this kit with my other Master Grade GMs sometime.

Almost done with the GM Cannon, and the build is going good but I had to make some needed fixes. More so in the waist since it's way too easy to remove the waist skirts when posing.

I got started on the GM Cannon and so far it's going good. I painted the head cameras and inked in certain details. But one thing to look out for is the antennae since they are pretty thin so it's best to be careful.

Small note for the wired accessories of the D Gundam First is that it's best to get spare 3mm wires if you'd want to show multiple in use.

The D Gundam First is finished and I love how it turned out.
It looks great after detailing and slight painting, but while it initially posed well I made sure to strengthen the limbs and joints for certain wired accessories.

One quick post about the shield. I was surprised by the amount of storage on this shield, cause the fact that the tools can comfortably slot into it is really nice. The only thing to be careful with is removing the panels since they can be easily missed.

Almost done with the D Gundam First. The articulation is pretty good, surprised the backpacks thrusters have hinged joints, although I'd say watch out for the waists ball joints when attaching the lower half, easy to miss there.

Made a start with the D Gundam First. Detailing was nice, I'm glad the ink and paint turned out good. Although I decided against removing the safety nubs from the V-fin.

The GM/GMs are finished and I love how these kits turned out.
There were surprising parts such as beam saber storage on the shield, and covers for the backpack.
The only thing I wish I had on hand was the related weapon set to add on to these two.

So the first GM/GM is almost done, but it's going to be a bit since I want to finish the second kit for a full photo set.
I can definitely say that I love how the kit turned out. The articulation is solid and the details look great after inking.

I started the GM/GM and it's going good so far.
Detailing is satisfying to do, although I had a bit of trial and error in the head. I also tried to see if I could attach the Gundam X backpack to this kit, but unfortunately couldn't kit bash a makeshift G-Bit.

I was surprised by the addition of a hovercraft and small troopers. It's nice to see, and it's also the closest to having the Hard Graph 08th MS Team set in my collection.

The GM Sniper K9 is finished and it's a very cool kit.
I had to fix the ball joints of the K9 pack, since they were way too easy to pop apart. And I also had a tough time with its beam sniper rifle since it's easy to pop the hands apart when posing it.

The K9's body is done, and for the most part it's going good. Just the titular K9 Pack and accessories to go.
One mandatory fix is making sure the connections in the thighs are tight, since the holsters make it easy to slip the legs off.

Now to start with a surprise, the GM Sniper K9.
I decided to paint the visor red for the exam system, but didn't paint any yellow for the chest. I felt leaving it gray was fitting for those parts.

Since I finally got the HG V Project together at last I decided to do a small photo set as well.

The HG Guncannons are done and they are great quick builds.
The articulation is solid, although detailing was surprisingly involved in certain spots. The only thing to watch out for is separating the front skirts, I had to add putty to secure them.

Gonna do a quick dual build for the HG Guncannons before finally getting to the Build Fighters kits.
So far both are good, aside from inking in details they're quick and easy to build.

The MG Guncannon is finished and it's pretty good.
The only things to look out for is the torso connection and the antenna.
I like that they included the spray missile pods, and I decided to mix up the shoulder weapons for fun.

Mudrock @mudrock29.bsky.social · Sep 5

The legs of the Guncannon are done, and it's going good.
Detailing was nice, the articulation is alright, although it's best to be careful given the torso is easy to disconnect from the waist. I also found the gray core block pretty funny on its own.

Mudrock @mudrock29.bsky.social · Sep 1

The Guncannons torso is done, also had to jump ahead once more and build that gray core block for the waist connection later. One thing to watch out for is the antenna since they do feel very thin.
