Can't believe this was 25 years ago.

Crummy pic. Hand painted over rattlecan primer. The doors no longer move because 20 year old me had no idea what he was doing and didn't sand before laying on layers of paint.

I still have this packed away somewhere. Maybe one day I'll dig the old stuff back out and see if I can get some decent photos.

Now that there's an easier way to share, have an early game fail from a couple of years ago. (If it works.)

Done many moons ago by my spouse and I, just after she got into Gundam. The Tri-Star kit was where I first fell in love with Molotow chrome. Unfortunately, I've found that they do not store well. At ~$10 a pen, that's a bummer.

I'm what you might call a G3 simp. I cannot express how annoying it is that Bandai changes the color scheme with every release. And lately the main color has been basically white... which goes against G3 being "the gray one." The original MG comes closest to the canon color scheme IMO.

And yes, I know I can paint. I would love to have a cohesive, consistent lineup of gray/purple Amuro alt suits (G3, Zeta III, Hi Nu, maybe Unicorn because it would look rad). It's just not on my radar any time soon.

Straight built with some minor touch up work and bog-standard panel lining. Old, old kit that I completed a few years ago. Really took me back.

Not mine, just sharing. That's some damn fine shot composition.

Posting this as I was prompted by a memory in ![email protected] . 08th Team is one of my favorite Gundam shows, and Nightwish is one of my favorite bands. I think the editing here is top notch.

Hard to believe this came out ~20 years ago. Rubyeye, if you're still out there, cheers.

Posted as text due to thumbnail spoilers for endgame.

Side note: Do Not Press R.

The RG is an old build, and the NG is positively prehistoric. It's amazing how far the engineering has come in the past... math... years... uhhhhhhhh...

On a related note, I have successfully gotten my nephew into Gundam... but his 14 year old Transformers-obsessed brain simply refuses to accept that Optimus would get urfed by even a GM beam spray pistol, let alone a newtype snipe.

A few things in this one I hadn't seen yet. Spoilers (marked) for endgame at the end of the vid.
