A small question about art sites. I’ve been posting my work (photography and art) on DeviantArt for a long time, but the community there feels dead now because of all the AI slop. I’m looking for a new site to move to and would appreciate any recommendations. #art #photography #modelpainting #gunpla

My girlfriend recently assembled the 30 Minutes Fantasy Liber Archer. Armed and armored it looks really good, but I did didn’t the body itself could be so expressive! #gunpla #30minutesfantasy

The Dom/Rick Dom is such a great design! It was a bit underappreciated in the original Gundam, but I'm glad to see Gunpla builders giving it the appreciation it deserves :)

A bit of a different post today, about the work in progress within the work completed :P I reworked the #30MinuteMissions display case and repainted it to look more metallic. I’m now using it to showcase models that aren’t fully completed yet (like the 30mm support vehicle doggo here ;) ).

Love it! The first Zaku is, for me, the epitome of simple yet powerful design :D

…the last post for today – my #gunpla #HG Palace-Athene :) I tried to stick to the original colors but tweaked them a bit and avoided using stickers (I’m not a fan of stickers…). In the end, #modelpainting went well. By the way, this HG is way bigger than I expected!

One more post, this time featuring my set of 'support vehicles' from the #30MinuteMissions #Gunpla line. I know many people use them to add accessories to the main mecha, but I really fell in love with these little guys. With some additions (#ModelPainting), they can stand on their own as models :)

Ok, my very first post on Bluesky.... Here’s my freshly painted Burglarydog from #votoms. The model was a gift from my girlfriend, so I had to do something cool with it :) I haven’t been painting #gunpla for long but I feel like I’m finally making some progress in #modelpainting
