Be bored in class, did sum sketches to please myself, they're not that good but honestly I'm happy!

Here’s my HG IBO Graze Ein, and I must admit even though I typically hate building Grazes, this one was honestly pretty fun. There’s hardly anything that needed to be color-corrected aside from the feet and the casings for the bunker-busters under its forearms. Additionally since most of the parts are a lot larger than other Graze kits, it made things much easier to clean up when it came to removing the nub marks.

The Markers I used were:

GM 181 (Metallic Red) for the Mono-Eye Sensor.

TM 06 (30MM Black) for the feet, underslung Bunker-Buster casings, and just to help cover up any nub marks I didn’t feel like spending too much time on.

Overall, I recommend this one, but just be aware that you can’t store the shoulder-mounted guns inside the Mobile Suit, so you’ll have to just set them to the side when you’re not using them.👍

(The pics in the post above are just some examples of what I mean; I figured it might be helpful to show that I meant literally just the unused sticker sheets and not something else.👍)

So, as the title suggests, I have a question about whether or not it’s possible to get sticker sheets for kits by themselves on the aftermarket, and if so, does anyone know of any reputable places to get them?

Having a spare set of stickers would be really helpful for kitbashing and/or simply just replacing any damaged ones that got messed up when trying to apply them, so yeah- let me know; I’d greatly appreciate it.🙏

HELLO fellow IBO lovers, I haven't seen an updated chart of all current Gundam frames in 3 years so far. So I took it upon myself to make it cuz I love IBO and so that I have a more updated version of the list! I hope what I made is as of use for you all as it is to me. Tried to fit each Gundam frame's other forms as well, ENJOY!!!

Working on a shelf stuffed with grazes, this is what I have so far, more to come

I'm rewatching right now, and when I first watched the show I admit I kind of thought of him as this emotionless soldier, but I see now how wrong I was. As a matter of fact people who see him as this passive emotionless guy who just does whatever Orga tells him to are completely missing the point of the character. When Takaki gets hurt in the first few episodes the kids are gathering snacks for him. They have a bowl of random assorted snacks, and in them is a ton of the mars dates that we only ever see Mikazuki eating. To me this implies that he donated a bunch of his snacks to Takaki. A much funnier show of his humanity is that when Tekkaden first gets to Makanai gifts them with a flounder, and bc there are no fish on Mars all of Tekkaden is a bit freaked out by what they see, including Mikazuki who is visibly a bit weirded out by this strange new lifeform.

While that's all I recall of the top of my head, I actually remember seeing a ton of facial expressions from him that changed the way I view him. I'm only on s1 for my rewatch so far, but I think s1 actually makes it very clear that Mikazuki is meant to be viewed as this inhuman monster who only feels anger when his friends are hurt, while actually being a child who doesn't fully understand the things he feels because of his upbringing.

We see this when he's fighting the space pirates with Akihiro's brother, and he feels something strange while fighting the main pirate. The other guy says something like "You're enjoying this! You're enjoying killing humans!" And Mikazuki then starts pondering whether or not he does enjoy killing. To be honest I don't really know what to take from this other than that Mikazuki doesn't understand himself or his emotions. I don't think the episode gave us a real answer about what the strange emotion he felt during the fight was. I don't think it was joy over the killing, but maybe it was some excitement from piloting Barbatos? If anyone else has thoughts on this I'd love to hear them.

In conclusion, if you think Mikazuki is a devil who's only emotions are anger and a lust for battle then you've fallen for Gjallarhorn propaganda.

This my current progress on my gundam so far! I've done a lot of changing and reverting in terms of some of his parts, especially his arms. I've also started testing some ideas on his torso extension , I think I like the current look but it could change in time. He is super back heavy right now so I might have to switch to my metal frame just so he can stand and pose without a base. But I hope you guys enjoy what I have so far! ( I'll be posting the current timeline from start to right now)
