30MF Dragonia Knight

Fantastic kit. The "silhouette"/base body looks good by itself, but once you put on the armor it turns into one of the coolest kits I've assembled.

My main complaint with this whole line (so far) is that I have not been able to make the eyes "glow" with silver paint behind the clear plastic.

HG Gundam Mk. II (Revive)

This was a fun kit, although I'm glad I went into it knowing it needed some paint. I was surprised at how much I liked the design, since I'm not a big fan of the RX-78-2.

HG Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex

This required a decent amount of paint to get it close to color accurate, but I'm happy with the result.

MG Unicorn Gundam (OVA)

This is definitely a kit of highs and lows. The pink plastic almost glows, and the silhouette is intimidating. However, the transformation gimmick causes issues with Unicorn mode and general stability, which is quite unfortunate.

HG Gundam Pharact

I wanted to build something relatively unique and simple, so I pulled the Pharact. Very similar build to the Zowort (understandably). Definitely looks better on a stand than free-standing.

Zakupla-kun DX

This was a neat kit to build. Almost a surreal experience to clip a display runner out of an actual runner. The last image is a scan of the parts list, just to demonstrate how much goes into the display.

MG Char's Zaku II 2.0 (with a Sony α7 IV)

First of all, apologies to ohai for the filesize on this post.

I love the Zaku II. Probably my favorite mobile suit design, besides maybe the Barbatos Lupus. The MG Zaku II 2.0 is a fantastic rendition of the suit, and definitely worth getting.

I borrowed my friend's Sony α7 IV mirrorless camera and took some (unfortunately not bright enough) pictures in a lightbox.

[30MM] AC6 Generic Balam Melander with Weapon Set 02

More (poorly color balanced) images of an Armored Core 6 build. Well, two actually, since the last two images include my generic Orbiter with the Weapon Set 05 I put together for it.

[30MM] Armored Core VI Nachtreiher / V.IV Rusty

This is one of my 3 ACs from Bandai, and the only non-generic one I have. Pictures of the others will come soon enough, although I didn't have the lighting quite right for them, either.

Fun note: right after this, one of its feet broke in 3 places. Some wire and glue has it back mostly right.

MG Blitz Gundam

Brief story time: my first articulated "model kit" was the G-Frame Blitz Gundam. I was amazed at the simplicity and aesthetic for <10 USD, and it inspired me to get into the hobby.

Late last year I got the MG Blitz Gundam, and it is everything I liked about the G-Frame times 20.

HG Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn (Destroy Mode)

(that's a mouthfull)

I went into this kit expecting extra work, but the result was worth it. It even came with an extra shield (from the Unicorn mode?). I do wish it came with some basic beams for the sabers and tonfas, though.
