Multi armed suits are cool
@āChopemonā#p128453 I also need to shrink down photos before posting them. They look OK on a phone, but boy do they look stupid at 30". 
I'm a very casual gunpla builder, but this cup noodle was a really fun kit and I love seeing it on my shelf.
Last thing I built was a Quebely, but I will not be posting photos of that because that was a difficult kit and I put it together sloppily.
Does digitally sculpting my own creatures, 3D printing them, and painting them still count?

@ārejjā#p111602 Iāll try to remember next time Iām visiting to grab a photo.
Ha ha ha oops. I guess emphasis was on _try_.
I shall continue trying to remember
@āHyggeStateā#p128646 heck yeah. I've been buying 3d printed accessories from Etsy to add to my Warhammer. Nothing as exciting as creatures but 3d printing has been a real boon to people who like to convert their miniatures.
@āKingTubbā#p128605 Hell yes, no gunpla beats 80's gunpla (or reprints).
Last weekend's project: RG Zaku-II.
This build was waaaaaay less "Real Grade loose" than the RX-78 I put together, I can actually pose this thing without it falling to pieces, and it looks great!
The 40K continues with a grim dark servitor. For my Sisters Repentia unit (sinners that wish to atone to the Emperor by charging into battle with double handed chainswords) I wanted to make a group of sinners that have been converted into servitors for their crimes. GW's John Blanche is possibly my all time favourite artist and I want to include more of his grim dark body horror in my army.

I'm gonna have to get some pics. My current backlog consists of me building the MG Guntank and Gouf. I usually build Sds when I want to take a break from the more complex builds
I just recently started getting the bug to build some gunpla again for the first time since probably 2010 or so! Back in 2019 when I moved last I completely divested of all my old models, both built and in progress, so Iām effectively starting from scratch, which isā¦ kinda nice actually!
So is there a pretty reliable site to order these directly from Japan (and that will ship to North America) that anyone recommends? There are a few local shops Iāve found but their stock is pretty uninspiring.

from Japan:
Hobby Link Japan
AmiAmi(great for limited edition stuff, their pre-owned section especially[the kits in there are new])
Yahoo Japan Auctions with a proxy like Buyee
North American based shops that usually have a good selection:
Gundam Planet
USA Gundam Store
Big Bad Toy Store
Crunchyroll Store

also I had totally forgotten this thread existed! I love gunpla and have similarly gotten the bug recently. I have a few kits on the way that Iāll post when I get them.
Premium Bandai put up a really cool new HG Zaku kit for pre-order
The pics are very nice but looking at it I can already tell the sticker situation is gonna be kind of an ugly nightmare lol

Just did a Master Grade Ez-8 last night. Unfortunately, I am terrible with those MG seals and they look rough because I couldnāt stick them on 100%, but I dunno, maybe it gives it the kind of gritty look you want out of an 08th MS Team kit?

Thanks for the resources! Theyāll definitely help me get my feet wet on this stuff again.
I think I might be going into a period of time where Iām less enthused about games and more enthused about building things.
I have a feeling I might have to really look around (or wait for restock) for the big tacky kit I would most like to build:

Thereās one on Yahoo Japan Auctions for a pretty decent price since itās a rare kit: https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m1172480859?conversionType=YahooAuction_DirectSearch
Ebay prices are way more expensive lol

Oh, thanks! I was getting concerned that it was impossible to find, but I hadnāt thought about Yahoo Japan Auctions!
