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.

Finally got some pictures of the EX with decals.

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.

EG Build Strike Exceed Galaxy

This was a surprisingly fun build, especially since I have never done a Strike Gundam before.

MGSD Gundam Aerial

Finally figured something out for pictures, just in time to finish another Aerial.

This kit is super fun. The strange proportions highlight a lot of what I like about the original design, and the eyes are absolutely wild. The permet could stand out more, but I appreciate that I can swap between red and blue.

HGRfV RX-78(G)E Gundam EX (Preliminary)

Still have to finish up the water slide decals I bought for it, but I'm already pretty happy with the result.

HG Qubeley Revive

This is a pleasantly funky design and a fun build.

T-Spark Realize Zoids Command Wolf

This is my first Takara Tomy kit. Ignoring the retail price, this is actually a pretty fun build. Good surface detail, good articulation. Some over-reliance on polycaps despite otherwise being entirely PS.

For what it is, though, the retail is way too high (unless you're a big Zoids Command Wolf fan, I'd guess). The pilot figures are a nice touch.

RG Gundam Epyon (with decals)

I finally finished putting the decals on my RG Gundam Epyon. Even with the matte top coat I've flaked off two of them, but I'm still happy with the result. I love this kit.
