Gotta meet my deadline for the end of the month which means I'm working extra hard on getting out more HG Sinanju for you guys. I'm feeling extra motivated because the photos came out great and the kit itself is great!

Full set is on Instagram as always

Kept you waiting huh? New photo set is up and this time it's my 2nd ever monoeye kit, the HG Sinanju! I think people have long slept on this in looking at the MG variants most of time.

Full photo set is on Instagram as always. #gunpla

That's another project wrapped up, here's the HG RX-78-6 Gundam Mudrock fresh off the conveyor belt. All painted, decaled and panel lined up and once again, a matte finish is the way to go. Onto the next project!

More Gundam Mudrock progress.

I think I wanna add some more colour separation to the backpack as it having so much black is a bit much. Also switching out the beam rifle was the play here for sure.

More HG Mudrock progress

All joints have been painted in gunmetal
Painted the all the gray armour to a darker shade
More detail painted on the legs, back skirt and side skirts

Next is backpack and weapons but I am thinking of switching out the beam rifle to the Ground Gundam's

The Delta/Hyaku Shiki family tree of mobile suits is one of my favourites so the HG Delta Kai Gundam was something I was looking forward to take a crack at.

First set of photos is up on my Instagram if you wanna check em out!

The HG kit is not for everyone, it's a project and a rite of passage. It was a test of my plamo skills for sure

Been a while since I posted an WIP. I took a break from gunpla/plamo after my HG S Gundam back in September but now I'm easing my way back in.

So far I'm just gonna take it simple and just repaint and details pain what I feel like doing.

Here are 3 gunpla/plamo builds to get to know me

I'm back with more HG AMAIM Ghost photos! The articulation on this kit is honestly super cool. If you see this kit for cheap, grab it. Next set of photos is now up, so please check them out!

Been a while since I posted some non-Gundam plamo right? I don't care for Kyokai Senki but the HG AMAIM Ghost rules.

Full photo set it up on Instagram if you wanna check it out!

2 posts in one day, weird right? I've been back at my photography backlog & it's time for some Gundam Lfrith! My 2nd favourite design in Witch From Mercury & a kit I built back in 2023.

Photo set is up on Instagram if you wanna see more!

And thats another project wrapped up, the HGUC S Gundam is finally finished! My first time working with a kit this old and whilst it's not perfect I wanna believe I did my dues to paying homage to such a cool design. Truly a rite of passage for modellers.

HGUC S Gundam WIP

Fully panel lined, fully painted & all decals applied!

The great news is that the beam smart gun acts as a great counter weight to my weak thigh polycap joint connection issue from before.

Model Graphix gods of old,wish me luck with this topcoat!

Put myself back in the photography mines & finished off the HG G-Line Standard Armour photo set I started last month. After not editing for so long I kinda forgot what I was doing

Either way, full set is on Instagram so please check em out!

HG S Gundam WIP

Backpack done so now we can have it all put together &... oh boy can the polycaps in the legs not handle the full weight of the upper body. Hmm, will hafta look into fixing this somehow.

For now all I have left is the beam smart gun left to finish.

HG S Gundam WIP

We now have the whole lower body complete! There is a lot of seamlines due to parts primarily just being sandwiched together. I'm telling you there is a great sculpt trapped in here, you just gotta bring it out!

HG S Gundam WIP

Shoulders & arms all painted up. Switched out the hands for a set of 30MM hands. Got fists, holding hands & open hands all ready to go. Much better than the default set you get with the kit.

Though I fear the dark gray I painted the hands with is a bit TOO dark

HG S Gundam WIP time

Everything that isn't white on the kit is getting repainted. Decided to go with a darker shade of blue, brighter shade of red and yellow orange so far.

Painting the head vents was really annoying but hey that's what a kit from 2001 will ask of you.

Also whilst I've been away I may or may not have made some irresponsible purchases. That Wave Shooter Zeta was something I'd been eyeing for a whilr and seeing the Kampfer Amazing reprint was everything I coulda asked for!

Speaking of projects what's next? We're going back to 2001 as it's the HG S Gundam! While I'm still not sure if I have skills to truly bring out the beauty in this kit, now is as good as ever to try. Plus that backlog has to go down.

#gunpla
September 2, 2025 at 1:11 PM
In pursuit of the backlog needing to be focused on I'm gonna be calling this project done & dusted for now. Gundam Zeta Survive is now done! Really proud with how this came out.

Made using parts from the Revive Zeta, Zeta Plus, ZII, Lightning Zeta and Gundam MK-III.

Zeta Survive WIP Update:

Gloss topcoat done
Panel lining done
Waterslides added to body and weapons
Repainted minor areas

Next up, matt topcoat and sponge chipping and I can finally be free to work towards something else
