Yeti Stand KO? Found on Facebook, they could've tried to deviate from the design a little. 
 

Thanks 

MG Eclipse complete. Really nice kit but don't think I would want to build it again with the new Eclipse Unit 2 if that ever comes out. I had to mod the ankles to make the kit stand higher and avoid the ankle armor from toughing the floor when standing.

Seems like you had lots of fun posing it.  More so than the Altron, anyway.

Somewhat, until I realized I was twisting the wrist post and almost broke it. The ball joint for the wrist is stuck in place even though I masked it  There were a couple of other poses that I had to give up on because of that. 

MG Wing Zero Ver Ka. Removing the seam on the back wing was the hardest part of this build. Aside from that it was pretty straight forward. Closing this chapter of the MG EW kits and I am finally caught up with all the photoshoots. Might build TG3 next year to have a truly complete set.

Awesome work as always! One of my favorite MSs to boot! Yea I know the pain of the kit as well, but you did an excellent job and it shows!

Thanks! I wish I could have gotten more pics but felt like I was going to break something and gave up. 

The Altron who stole Christmas. I love how the EW Altron looks and this MG kit is pretty good. One of my issues is the 20+ seam lines that I had to remove on the red dragon fang body sections, that was a chore to fix. My other complaint is the fact that I only got two poses out of this kit because manipulating the arms with the dragon fangs is infuriating. 

I put it side by side with a figuarts and forgot to take a pic. Lacus is a tiny bit taller than your standard figuarts, but I think it could work as a stand in. 

Technically gunpla right? Figure-Rise Standard Lacus. Removed a few seams from the torso and on the Haros. Aside from that it was a pretty simple build. 

I almost always use orange yellow even if its not entirely accurate. I like how it looks in pictures

 I can't keep on what's going on nowadays.

Ooooh. Love this @anubis20! The details really pops out.  

Thanks! Yea Bandai loads the kits with details that really pop out when painted. 

2nd shoot out of 5. Full Mechanics Calamity.

Peeked into this thread, and wow what a feast for the eyes @anubis20! 

Thanks! 

Some pics of my recent RG Eva 02 build. Dont have much time to take pics right now with my schedule 😟 Worst part of this kit was painting those tiny dots it has for eyes. I had to redo them a couple of times.

Hopefully this makes it into the US in 2022. I want this to be my first build of 2023

Hey GunPla Masters. I know it's a long shot. But did anyone encounter a third party Metal Frame set for MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3?

Thanks in advance. 

Havent seen one yet. I only know of the ones for the MG SEED 2.0 kits, the MG Gat-X kits, Barbatos, Nu, Hi-Nu, and Sazabi. 

I'm curious if these taxes are actually being paid to local states. How does a local state enforce taxes on a company that is not even registered in the US? Who in Virginia, Florida, etc says: "Hobby Search in Japan has not paid us sales taxes this month!"?

Finally!!

Speaking of shading, @anubis20. Is it ok to ask if you do it before the color (like Watanabe's) or after the layer of color? If it's after, do you darken the mixture of the color you used or use a different color tint and darken it?

Thank you sir! 

In my case I usually start with the base color and then I will spray a lighter mix of the base coat on the center of each part. For the most part I usually add white to the mix but colors like red and green will get yellow instead to lighten the highlight color.

Great Work! Is there shading in the Purple or is it just the photography?

Yup there is shading on the purple 🙂

I know I've shared this before, but if the forearm design bothers you, there's a conversion kit that returns it to a more anime accurate look: https://www.shop2000.com.tw/GK-M/product/p37717039

Otherwise, great job as always, on the photoshoot as well as the modeling itself.

I hated them in the beginning but they have grown on me tbh. Its just that the turning gimmick really doesn't work when painted. 

RG Eva01 that has been done since February 😅 My first RG kit and I am hooked onto the EVA RG line but the shoulder pylons suck and get in the way of the articulation. Also the gimmick of the moving forearm armor by twisting the hands died on me pretty fast. The hands are made of this soft plastic and the tabs just sheared off.
