MG Gundam Astray Turn Red

Assembled kit. No paint or lining or topcoat yet. I’m trying to up my picture quality game what do you folks think?

I would look into getting a light box. It's a quick and easy way to up your photo quality. I made mine out of white foam board and hot glue. If you want to spend a bit more, you can get a LED light panel for more consistent illumination. There are probably quite a few more simple things to up your picture game, but I am not a photographer.

I would get a light box but I live in a small apartment and space is a big issue

They make collapsible light boxes. You could also just use a cloth as a backdrop.

That is amazing. I’ve only built one MG so far and it blew my mind how big he was.

I started out building RG but they just seemed too small to be appealing to me. I’m very happy with the 1/100 scale.

I enjoy HGs because I can knock them out in a day. But like they aren’t nice enough I want to display them, and while I do paint Warhammer I haven’t dived into painting a Gunpla yet, which could really increase the desk appeal of a HG.

I built the Zeta Ver Ka and loved almost every second of it. Been wanting to get another 1/100 kit since.

They are taller that the mg itself.

I will measure the swords when I get home
