What are you folks working on currently?
I didn’t have time to take a pic before work today, but I finished painting the Turn Red and it’s ready for decals.
I’m not actively working on anything right now, but I’ve got a couple projects on hiatus because I’m too lazy to do the part casting I need for them:
- SDCS Heavyarms Custom. Actually a 3D printed Gundam Ground Type conversion kit, so I need to make copies of all the Ground Type parts I need to finish it.
- HGAC Leo Type IV Custom. AKA the Leo that thinks it’s a Tallgeese. Custom because I’m using parts from the old 1/144 NG Tallgeese, and the design sketch of the Type IV I’ve found suggests that the backpack uses modified Aries thrusters rather than the super verniers like the actual Tallgeese. Anyway, I need to modify the head and waist armor to fit Tallgeese bits, and I’d rather not modify the actual original pieces, so I want to make copies and modify those instead.
That sounds like a lot of work/fun. It may be unneeded information for you, but if you need extra parts, I recently found Plamo kit bash on shopify and their whole business is selling single parts. Not exactly cheap, but the turnaround was super quick.
Current projects include
MGSD Strike Freedom - stickers and topcoat
FM Aerial - panel lining complete, assembly started
MG Ver Ka Sazabi - need to wash parts before panel lining
HG Aerial, Aerial Rebuild, and Calibarn - prep bases for display
MG Banshee - repaint from blue to black
And the backlog ever increases
I started the HG Ghost Gundam the other night (shoutout to @zourn@lemmy.world for the evangelizing). Got the torso done and stopped. Just wasn’t enjoying it. Some of that was the overwhelm at all of the option parts (“I’m going to need to do how many parts twice??”) but most of it was good ol depression. 0/10 folks, do not recommend.
