Two observations on this kit after finishing the frame:

1. throughout this build, I keep thinking of the weird way that Thom from Mobile Suit Breakdown says "Gelgoog" and have a good laugh, and

2. I am upset that I have to cover this frame up.

WIP update on the MG Sandrock Armadillo Unit! Paint is done, decals are done, final clear coat is applied, and the initial chipping pass is complete. Now, to make it look dirty! #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder #mobilesuitgundam #mobilesuitgundamwing #gundamwing #operationmeteor #justdoitbadly #quatreraberawinner #xxxg01sr #sandrock #armadillounit #gloryofthelosers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2pWtsoODU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finished HGUC MSM-03C Hygogg custom build, finally took some decent photos of it. First custom, first fully painted/airbrushed build, first led mod, etc. etc. Lots of firsts.

So many mistakes, all the left arm armor pieces cracked for example, but I tried to make it kind of look like intentional damage/weathering. For anyone out there, make sure you have a good barrier layer before using too much enamel panel wash...

There's a lot I would do differently but I learned so much and ultimately I'm sort of proud of it.

Hygogg is DEFINITELY one of my favorite mobile suits now though this guy is really fun looking.

Final pose for the MG Deathscythe EW (Rousette Unit) - now to do a little light weathering! #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder #mobilesuitgundam #mobilesuitgundamwing #gundamwing #operationmeteor #justdoitbadly #duomaxwell #xxxg01d #deathscythe #gundamdeathscythe #rousetteunit #gloryofthelosers https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmOss9O4uK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Legs and tank treads are done! Next up are the waist and the side-calf missile pods. I'm really enjoying this white recipe I'm using (thanks @dropcolony!) enough that I'm mulling over switching to it moving forward... #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder #mobilesuitgundam #mobilesuitgundamwing #gundamwing #operationmeteor #justdoitbadly #trowabarton #xxxg01h #heavyarms #gundamheavyarms #gundamheavyarmsigelunit #gloryofthelosers https://www.instagram.com/p/CcSvxv0uZjc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Started with the detachable missile pods on the Heavyarms. I'm still not sure if I'm going to weather this kit so these are done-ish for now. #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder #mobilesuitgundam #mobilesuitgundamwing #gundamwing #operationmeteor #justdoitbadly #trowabarton #xxxg01h #heavyarms #gundamheavyarms #gundamheavyarmsigelunit #gloryofthelosers https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEUWKkOft2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Head bits are almost done! Just a little panel lining, flat coat, and chipping left and then this kit is a wrap! #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder #mobilesuitgundam #mobilesuitgundamwing #gundamwing #justdoitbadly #heeroyuy #xxxg01w #winggundam #winggundamverka #verka https://www.instagram.com/p/CbteEvaOJFn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fully done from the neck down. All that’s left is the head, sword, and shield. #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder #mobilesuitgundam #mobilesuitgundamwing #gundamwing #justdoitbadly #heeroyuy #xxxg01w #winggundam #winggundamverka #verka https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbl9e7TOV1y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Started unpacking my hobby area at the new house and I am insanely relieved that all of my painted boys survived the move without incident. #gundam #gunpla #gunplabuilder https://www.instagram.com/p/COHNysnjTnD/?igshid=133mi6rd0m6u5
