I built the fantastic RG Force Impulse Gundam this week. That's the newest RG I've built so far. I kind of miss the extensive premolded inner-frame... But I have to admit the build is better without it.

I've got something a little different this week - an Acerby Type-A from 30 Minute Missions. Quick, fun build with a surprising amount of detail.

Weird, froggy mecha this week - the HGIBO Gundam Gusion. This kit really stands out from the IBO crowd. These designs are usually very lean and angular and mechanical, but not this one. This one is all bulky and rounded and chonky.

I'm about a year late to the party... But this week I've got the HGGQ GQuuuuuuX. Weird kit! It's a very neat design, but even the engineering feels a little strange for an HG. Really kind of like gunpla from another dimension.

This week I've got the HGWFM Gundam Calibarn. It's kind of a milestone for me as this is the last numbered, retail HGWFM kit in my collection.

Not quite gunpla this week - but pretty close. It's the HG Macross Plus YF-21. These Bandai Macross kits are pretty fantastic.

This week I've got the HGUC Zaku II F Type Solari from Requiem for Vengeance. Weird kit. Very solid build but I'm really not liking the design itself. Too busy. Too greebly. And I kind of hate that tan/mustard color.

This week I've got the HGIBO McGillis's Schwalbe Graze. You'd think I'd be sick of these Graze kits by now, but they just continue to be awesome.

Second half of the PG Strike Rouge + Skygrasper.
Again, I'm not super-impressed. It's nice and big. Good shelf-presence. But I'm still feeling like it's a step down from the RG Strike. Clearly I need to find an RG Strike Rouge.

First half of the PG Strike Rouge + Skygrasper this week.
I'm not super-impressed with my first PG. It's nice to have larger pilot figures to paint. There's good detail in the cockpit. But it kind of feels like a step down from the RG I built.

The Best Mecha Collection RX-78-2 (REVIVAL Ver.) is a weird little kit. An updated version of the very first gunpla kit. Weirdly exaggerated and off-spec. But there's a certain charm to how janky it is. And it's really neat from kind of a historic perspective.

Another old Unicorn HGIBO this week - the HGIBO Jesta Cannon. It's a good kit with lots of options and accessories, but it's definitely showing its age.

I've got something a little different this week - the Full Mechanics MAILeS Kenbu Zan from Amaim Warrior at the Borderline. It's both my first Full Mechanics build as well as the my first Amaim kit, and I was really pretty impressed. Really neat design and a fantastic build.

HGIBO Gundam Vidar was actually kind of disappointing? I mean, not terrible... Especially considering the age of these HGIBO kits. But it really didn't do the design justice. Just makes me want to build the new MG even more.

I've got a P-Bandai kit this week - the HGUC Dra-C (Unicorn Ver). It's basically a recolor of the old Stardust Memory kit and it definitely shows its age. Weird design. No legs. Bright pink. Big, bulky thruster pods. One arm.

I built the HGIBO IO Frame Shiden. This is another IBO design that I don't recognize. Apparently it was in the second season of IBO? Clearly I need to re-watch that series again.
This was a very solid build. Love the design. Lots of exposed mechanics.

I'm running out of HGWFM kits to build! This week I've got my penultimate HGWFM kit - the Zowort Heavy. It's basically a recolor of the Zowort, so there's really nothing to complain about. Yet another fantastic build.

HGIBO Gundam Astaroth this week! It's another fantastic HGIBO kit... But not a design that I recognized. I guess it's from the Steel Moon manga? I don't think that's even got an English release. I like the asymmetrical design though.

I built the MG Zeta Ver.Ka - one of the few transforming mobile suits that actually looks halfway decent.

Seems kind of weird that I haven't built the HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam before now... But, if I'm being honest, it was never my favorite design. And there were always more-interesting kits to build. But it's still fantastic fun.

HGWFM Heindree Sturm!
Another fantastic WFM kit. I love how strong the design aesthetic is in these kits - you can really tell which company designed which suit. Here you can see references to all of the Grassley suits - not just the previous Heindree.

Here's the sticker sheet and the two faceplates on the runner.

HGIBO Julieta's Mobile Reginlaze!
Honestly, I'd forgotten who Julieta Juris was. Had to find a quick clip to remind me... Clearly I need to re-watch IBO again.
Decent build, but not my favorite of the Graze-ish kits.

I built the HGBF Beargguy III (SAN) this week. Weird kit. I've never built a teddy bear robot like this before. Very simple, as you might expect from an Acguy-derived kit like this. But it's still fun. And very unique.

I built the HGWFM Dilanza Sol this week.
I don't love how chonky these Dilanza kits are... And the Sol, specifically, is darker than I'd like. It's hard to pick out the surface details and panel lines. But these HGWFM kits are all pretty amazing anyway.

Yet another fantastic Graze kit this week - the HGIBO Graze Ein. I think these Graze kits are my favorite part of the HGIBO line... I'm going to be sad when I run out of variants to build.

I was genuinely surprised by this HGTO Guntank Early Type kit. It looks great up on the shelf and it's far more expressive than I expected. Terrific build.

The Strike Rouge is one of my favorite designs so I was really excited to build this kit... But then I went and messed up the topcoat and left it looking all dusty. Oh well. Still a fun build. I'll just have to revisit it at some point to fix it.
