RG Force Impulse Gundam

I had the time to do a quick photoshoot (although it was interrupted by the piece of v-fin snapping off again). This kit was super fun.

RG Force Impulse Gundam Complete

Finally finished it. Kind of sad that the core fighter isn't an extra after all (it's embedded in the torso, as it should be), but otherwise I am extremely happy with this kit. Never did figure out why it was so cheap. If more RG's were at this price point I'd find it hard to stick with HG.

Hoping to do a more thorough photoshoot tomorrow.

@RaspberryJam @Akaru88 RG Epyon is one of the kits I finished assembling recently. Super fun kit. Don't lose the tiny pieces like I did (eventually found it). Also the DelpiDecal waterslides for it look fantastic, if you want to spend the extra time and money.

Last one of these for a bit: the Force Silhouette, AKA the Silhouette Flyer with a backpack.

Next is the actual mobile suit.

@Fingolfinz I've had the website bookmarked since they announced. I'm so ready.

RG Force Impulse Gundam (Silhouette Flyer)

That's the second additional aircraft in the kit. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the core fighter, but it makes up for it in panel lines. Oh, and it connects to the backpack.

RG Force Impulse Gundam (Core Splendor)

I wanted to see why this kit was so cheap and I'm still confused. An articulated, color separated core fighter? Fantastic. And as far as I can tell this is just an extra, too. Can't wait to get to the mobile suit.

@Akaru88 I've used Testors Dullcote, but I always seem to waste too much of it; one can usually covers roughly 2 1/144 scale kits. I've had more success with Vallejo Matt Varnish in an airbrush, but it does require said airbrush. A shop near me recently started stocking Mr Hobby Clear Matte, so I might give that a whirl if I ever feel like spending the money.

@wirelesswire Maybe the brighter colors will break me from feeling like I have to put on every recommended decal. Haha.

@wirelesswire I didn't even know the Spec II was a thing. That really is a minor recolor. I think I prefer the lighter colors of the base version (which is strange for me), but honestly without them beside one another I likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Edit: Yeah, that sky blue on the skirting armor is fantastic. I like the boosters better on the Spec II, though, I will admit.

@Akaru88 The MG Vidar is another one I want to build one day, but I think I'll wait a while due to the price. Same reason I got the Barbatos now instead of waiting for the Lupus later this year. I have the HG Vidar to tide me over (and the HG Lupus, although that was one of my first kits).

I'm a sucker for decals on the ones I really care about. There's something about having it decked out with caution notices and such that I enjoy. Don't like the process much, though. Haha

@Akaru88 In the past 4 days I've managed to find an MG Barbatos and an RG Force Impulse Gundam in person for a decent price, so my backlog has expanded. That Barbatos may jump the queue a bit, although I need to order waterslides for it.

My gunpla posting streak was broken after only 5 days, but honestly that was two more than I figured it would be. I have precisely 0 pictures in reserve and I haven't been home enough to take any or do any building.

GFrame Blitz Gundam (Day 5)

Yeah, kinda dragging the bottom of the barrel. Here's my poorly edited picture of my GFrame (gunpla candy) Blitz Gundam. This was another of my early kits. I love the color scheme, and the included weapons are fantastic. Definitely gonna get the MG one day.

@tamiya_tt02 GQuuuuuuX is such a good kit! I don't have the Seed Z'Gok, but my MG Z'Gok was pretty fun with all the tubes.

@TallonMetroid And that's actually an old picture. I don't have the shelf space for this hobby :blobcatnotlikethiscry:

I don't have many decent pictures of it, but here's my #HighGrade Shenlong #Gundam with some embroidery tools. The second picture is of it in a customize scene base.

HGGBB Gundam Livelance Heaven (Day 3)

This is actually one of my first kits, but I had never taken any photos of it. I figured this attempt at a streak was a good excuse to snap some.

I *love* this kit. The cloaked paladin to seraphim transformation is my favorite part. If I had the chance to redo this kit, I'd paint the sticker spots and use some legitimate panel lining fluid instead of my homemade gray.

EG RX-78-2 Assembled (Day 2) (infosec.pub)
 

EG RX-78-2 Assembled (Day 2)

It is fully assembled now. My current idea is to gloss coat the whole thing (maybe after painting the eyes and head cameras) and then start into the battle damage process. We'll see how far I actually go with it.

The kit itself is a study in plastic optimization and not a terrible copy of the Grandad.

EG RX-78-2 Full Weapon Set (In Progress)

I'll try to continue Akaru's streak for a few days, but my building schedule isn't terribly consistent and I'm out of existing photos.

I mainly bought this kit for the weapons. I have the RG 2.0 sitting in the box, but I love the Gundam Hammer and I think the Beam Javelin is pretty neat. Since this would be Granddad # 4, I figure I'll use it to practice battle damage and weathering.

Somewhat of a progress update on my #RealGrade #Gundam Epyon build. I'm working on the decals, but it is very slow going (this picture was taken mid June).

HGAC Leo

I took a break from (not) putting decals on Epyon to build a quick kit and grabbed #highgrade Leo. I was concerned it wouldn't turn out well, but I'm very happy with it.
