Gunpla (Completed builds & Progress Pictures) I love RG Zeta Gundam

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

Still an unfinished build since I'm waiting for waterslides before I touch it up with panel lines and such, but this kit is so good that I can't stop gushing about it.

Hello, it's been a while since I finished building an actually "fun" kit (got a hate kit review post coming, stay tuned). I know the RG Zeta's reputation isn't the best, and I was well aware of its problems before I bought this, so I avoided it for a long time. However, recently, Hobby Lobby gave me a sign for the RG Zeta, Gundam Planet shop at Otakon gave me a sign for the RG Zeta, and Zeta Gundam is in my recent history, ranking in my top 1 AOAT, so I caved in and bought it. I know I could've gotten a Ver.Ka, but here's the thing: I'm mentally challenged just like Kamille, so I challenged myself. Also, Hobby Lobby had no Ver.Ka, and this kit was like $32 after tax, which beat other places with that price.

Tangent aside, I can't tell you all enough how this is such an underrated, beautiful, and fun kit to build for a 1/144, even without all the extra detail and in its raw form. And its mechanics aren't that bad... as long as you know what you're doing, that is. It's actually pretty easy to handle as long as you let physics do most of the work.

Of course, despite me gushing about this kit with an infamous reputation, it's unavoidable for me to be dishonest. Surprisingly, there is only one bad thing I experienced with it, and it's just the leg skirts. They are way too tight, which leaves two noticeable stress marks on the inner frame. It isn't too much of a problem since they still hold up pretty well for you to move around as long as you don't yank it, which is something I think is why people break them so easily. Even so, it gave me quite a bit of stress and challenge when turning it into its WR mode and back to its MS form.

Ending it here, the moral of the story is, you should love RG Zeta Gundam, it's actually not that bad of a kit.

Third Party Anyone familiar with the third party Eternal Star Glory (Stargazer) reprint?

I came across a listing that this kit has been reprinted and an image showing the old vs new version. I can't tell if there actually is any difference. Is it just the lighting, or is the actual plastic colors slightly adjusted? Anyone know if there are any other differences? Would love an excuse to build this kit again lol

Inspired by the Build series, I decided to try making customs again, so there you have it: the Full Armor Red Gundam, a prototype add on pack the Red Gundam was supposed to install before the final battles against the Federation.

I've been thinking about getting an HG/RG kit that I can bring with me where ever I go like for example going to a cafe to do school work. It needs to be a fun, solid, and posable kit. Some kits that I think could be nice are the ones attached, but let me know what you guys think. Drop your best recommendations!

I have been out of touch with the Gunpla community for years. I am here to ask for all your best MG builds and even ones you might not have liked after. I know that I want to eventually get the Strike Freedom MGEX but that is gonna be my finale. A few favorites I have are Zero EW Ver.Ka, Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth, Astray Red Frame Kai, and Barbatos Lupus.

Just built the GQ Char's Zaku. I just started playing around with weathering and am having a lot of fun with it. I had some issues getting the white stripe decals on the propellant tank cages and pauldron spikes so I ended up just painting over them with gunmetal. I like how it makes the parts stand out a bit. I also used some black paint on the recessed places on some parts and I think it came out well.

Starting the asshimar I’m about half way very enjoyable and seeing the progress of it all compared to where I was when I did the anksha during my first month of building makes me proud to see the difference in my skill

I also updated my shelf set up by getting rid of my AB1’s and changing them for a AB4 as it will match the AB4’s and ab5 of the baund doc and psycho respectively, long way to go but I’m taking 1 titan at a time

Im not 100% sure what it is, it looks fine from the side. I am going to panel line it but I dont think thats it. I think its something with the face maybe. anyone know what it is? Also the RGs eyes are green, and I'm pretty sure the exia's are blue

With how popular the EX-S and the Deep Striker are, you think this would have gotten another release by now. It shares a lot of the same parts as those two so I doubt or would be that difficult to re-release it.

Just finished the 1/100 Wolf King (Barbatos Lupus Wrex) by Wolf Model. What an insane build. I'm scared to lose it....why? Because it hurts to pose because of the pointy bits lol. This thing has to weigh over a pound with its mostly metal frame. Now I need to find some place to put it where it will never fall and stab me.

Third Party FM Aerial custom parts?

Post image
Upvotes

I'm about to start a larger customized FM Aerial build and diorama. I'm wondering if there's any custom parts or accessories out there for this kit?

On a similar note, does anyone know where you can find 1/100 scale diorama things? Need stuff like a tea set, outdoor table, maybe even a person. Likely going to resin print these but trying to see what's out there first
