I've been binge building these 30 Minute Missions Armored Core kits. For the scale, it's spectacularly detailed like the Gundam EX from RFV. It's been fun to build just to build. #armoredcorevi

Some poses for the HG Gelgoog from GQuuuuuux. I need to learn to do more dynamic poses that you can really feel the motion being suggested.

HG Gelgoog Uma Lightning's high mobility type custom. I love the fact that it can carry its entire loadout. The front feels very different from the back.

I removed the seam lines and added extra thrusters on the back of the legs and verniers on the shoulders.

(Build video is out now on my YT. )

Chopped up one of the HG Sugai's Gelgoog beam rifle to make it something that resembles the main UC Gelgoog beam rifle. This was a fun exercise in modifying weapons. #gquuuuuux #gelgoog #gundam

That seam line straight across the thigh is shockingly horrible tho.

Great looking kit. HGGQ Sugai's Gelgoog. #gunpla #gundam #gquuuuuux #gelgoog

MG Gundam Astray Red Dragon custom. Inspired by Devil May Cry's Dante in devil trigger mode. Late post here because I always seem to forget my other accounts.

I also thin mine at 1:2 and spray it at 20 psi. But I use rapid thinner so the "prism" particles stay evenly suspended and don't settle. I usually do 2 coats. You can also try thinning at 1:1.5 to get the right coverage faster. It does take a couple of layers to get the right look.

Had to mask 20 circles on each sword (Caletvwlch). Definitely made this tool worth it.

Glad to hear it!

Smiling while it killed you too. Horrible.

The HG Police Zaku is a fun kit to pose if not a fun take on the iconic Zaku. #hgpolicezaku #gquuuuuux #gunpla #gundam

Phase one of the custom for the MG Gundam Astray Red Dragon. This super hot metal effect needed some trial and error to execute properly but ultimately an amazing effect. Full process video on my YT. #gunpla #gundam #gundamastray #burning #superhot

Getting a new MG is great. Getting a new, blue MG with dual pistols is even better!
