Been a little quiet on the Nuke Matrix Shadow model kit build, but I managed to finish it up last night. It has loads of options for display, and it was hard deciding whether to display the armoured or unarmoured figure with the bike, or to go with the centaur mode
In the end, I love that motorcycle too damn much not to show it off, and the unarmoured figure just looks great next to it.

In the home stretch of a painted resin model kit. Botched a few bits, didn’t quite get the surface finish right, managed to chip a bit of paint. But… the total effect is gonna be pretty good, and I just have to accept some mistakes so I can finish it and not go insane.
In the end I hope to finish it with a “pretty good” model kit, and a bunch of new learning.
The next one will be better. I feel it.

So I was amoungst the stampede of people trying to pre-order Five Star Stories resin kits on the Volks website. I didn’t get my first pick. Or my second. But I did manage to get a clear version of the Goat Mirage, which I definitely wanted.
AmaIng how quickly they all sell out though. #fivestarstories #modelkits #gunpla

Today turned out nice. Weather was beautiful, I went for a walk, days work went by easily, and I got a new model kit.
Specifically, I got a Five Star Stories Speed Mirage. An official resin kit from Volks. Never thought I’d get a proper one — instead of rubbish recasts — but I found it for a good price.
The quality is amazing. Very crisp and clean. I’ll never buy recasts again! #modelkits #fivestarstories #gunpla

My Tractorial project is completely dead in the water 😔 Too many God damn parts were so so so weak and the holes weren't right that just trying to build it as instructed (and I have built quite a few model kits before this) it ended up breaking beyond the point to where I could finish building it and proudly show it 😭 Do not buy the Revell model of the Porshe Diesel Junior 108 model under any circumstances. I'm so disappointed; this was my most creative endeavor when it came to model building so far and I was so looking forward to it and now it's all down the fucking drain. #PlaMo #ModelKits
After I'm done building Tractorial I'm gonna be building the Subaru Impreza WRX STI and I find myself in a conundrum as I only have regular blue and metallic blue paints and not specifically mica blue. Worried I'll mess up its cool look if I paint it the wrong blue. #PlaMo #modelcars #modelkits
So, going to try to setup to stream finishing up a zoid kit tomorrow.
Depends how far I get with rigging up the usb camera and such.

Big Robot News: copped SH Studio’s 1/60 Qubeley. It’s a ridiculously huge resin model kit. Kinda blows me away that Chinese companies are out there making amazing unauthorised kits like this. The quality is 👌
Got a set of SAB panel-liners/chisels in the post today. Absolutely fantastic tools for model kits. Best chisels I’ve ever used, and much cheaper than the vaunted BMCs. Highly recommended. #modelkits #gunpla
All thanks to those Mobile Suited Damn Guns, I, a girl who scored extremely badly at the mechanical portion of the military ASFAB test I was tricked into taking as a teen, have now increasingly developed an interest in machinery. Things that didn't interest me much or at all like tower cranes or motorcycles and tractors are now fascinating. Now I'm wanting to learn how to paint model kits, not because painted Gunpla are cool (which they are), but so I can build cars and such. #Gunpla #PlaMo #ModelKits
Bandai released online manual scans for model kits :dogchamp:
I had a wonderful idea. I love itashas but I don't drive and they're expensive so I found a website from Australia that does custom water decals, so I think eventually I may try making a model car (Tamiya seems to make the coolest ones) and turning it into a itasha 😤 #PlaMo #ModelKits #Itasha
"OK everyone! Do you guys see this plastic cement applier and palette? Well there's no cement on it yet, but there will be!" -Tails Gets Trolled lol made myself an applier and a palette for applying the cement out of a carved Q-tip and a square of cardboard in anticipation of the plastic cement arriving. #ModelKit #ModelKits #TailsGetsTrolled

I wanted to start building my Titanic model today, but turns out I need plastic cement to keep the pieces in place. A little disappointed but the cement itself is pretty cheap and learning how to use it is kinda exciting and may open me up to other plastic models besides Gundams. #Gunpla #ModelKits
Just received my first Nuke Matrix model kit. I'd not heard of them before, but as soon as I saw SIREN, I couldn't resist her. It's a cyborg rockstar girl with a robot shark, who turns into a cybernetic mermaid. What's not to love?

My model club held it's annual "Cheap Bastards" auction last night, and I made a little haul.

It is certainly not the #gundam robot that used to be installed in #tokyo (first in #odaiba and then, #yokohama) until recently, but this is the closest you can get here in #amsterdam. And every time I pass in front of it, it always put a smile on my face! 😊

Welp, I better finish up my other model kits now.
I got this big bugger I want to do soon.
