Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 8d The pictures don’t really do it justice, but the finish on the purple and gold parts looks great! It does have the swirls that all of Bandai’s metallic parts do, but because of the finish it’s not nearly as noticeable. The purple is almost a pearl finish and the gold is a really smooth gloss
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 8d And now for something completely different. I’m a pretty big fan of the old school Yugioh designs so I’ve had my eye on these for a while. The Gods are also way more expensive and too big so Black Luster Soldier it is lol #plamo #bandai #figurerise #yugioh
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 10d Nemo is finished. I think I like these colors more than the standard green, I think it really helps with the simple design. I also like how this has a different rifle than the standard one, but it’s actually a new mold compared to the old GMs that also had this rifle #gundam #gundam
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 10d Got an annoying headache so I’m doing the opposite of treating it by hanging out with my friend while he does the prep for a head gasket replacement
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 11d One of the big reasons I like these kits so much is the design of the legs. I really like that the internal mechanism section is its own thing with the shin armor and rear thruster on top of them. Plus it’s nice to have an extra point of articulation at the top #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 11d Arms and waist are done, plus I went back and painted the forehead section red instead of the yellow I used first. And here’s a little bit more of the detail on the shoulders too #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 11d Pretty good start so far, since I already know I like the Nemo I’m putting a bit extra effort into detailing it. There’s a lot of color correction that these need, the red on the cockpit and head (which I accidentally painted yellow) and the shoulder thrusters so far #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 11d Going to get started on the Nemo today! We were going to work on my roommates car but the parts aren’t here so can’t do that lol.
I already built the standard green Nemo and loved it so I’m really excited for this one too! #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 14d All the accessories are pretty simple, the thrusters are all single pieces that have a 3mm peg so they can go anywhere. The energy shield is also really cool, it has some details in it but hey don’t show up well on camera
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 14d Body is done! Just going to get the other weapons and accessories finished before work. This kit has a bunch of c clips, but the clip section on all of them is actually really thick so maybe Bandai has learned their lesson there lol #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 15d Our WiFi went down last night and we have terrible cell service, so I couldn’t post the pictures that I took until today but I ended up starting a 30MM kit! I have a few of these that i picked up recently and since I don’t have as much time right now it’s nice to build them quickly #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 15d Just a few more comparisons between the two kits! I’m impressed by the level of detail on the EG even with way fewer parts. The Hg wings do have an extra bit of articulation at the base also.
And it can still transform and looks fine, mostly because it’s such a simple transformation #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 16d A little disappointed in pbandai and fedex, the box was barely sealed and way too big for the 2 kits plus it got crushed at some point so both kit boxes were a bit crushed even after I straightened them out a bit. Either way I’m excited for both of these kits, a new Barbatos and another GQ Gelgoog
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 16d Overall I’ve got to say this poses pretty well! For the second photo I swapped the shield from the HG on since it actually opens and has a beam saber, EG has neither of those. All my green blades are packed so we have pink. #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 17d Just a quick comparison of the HGAC Revive and the EG Wing. They look really close, other than the chest sensor the HG is a bit more vibrant. The white on the EG is also slightly off white. The HG Buster rifle does have the yellow separated, but I painted the other details on it #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 17d EG Wing is finished! I like this kit a lot, it’s pretty solid. Honestly even a bit more solid than some of the other EGs (especially compared to the hips on the Strike). The detail here is also pretty good too #gunpla #gundam #plamo
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 17d Back at building, I think I should have this done tonight, the legs are funky but still pretty easy to build. The panel lining on the knee triangles are a bit shallow so it I think I’ll have to find my felt tip markers for them #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 19d Pretty smooth so far but this is where I’ll leave it for tonight. I’m really happy the way the panel lining on the head came out and the way the paint came out on the vents inside the shoulders. I unfortunatsly don’t remember where I packed my set of felt tip panel liners though #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 19d So we have 2 open houses this weekend and I have to work tomorrow, and I also don’t want to take 3 more weeks to build another kit so I’m going to the opposite end of the spectrum and I’m going to start on the EG Wing Gundam today! #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 20d Some more pictures of the White Dingo Sniper II. Luckily the Bluetac is holding the rifle in the hand pretty well so that’s not as much of an issue anymore. The kit poses so well and there was no issue at all getting it to kneel unlike most HG kits either #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 21d The White Dingo Sniper II is finished! I love building 99% of this kit and it looks fantastic and I know it poses well. It’s just those damn hands that are already annoying me. It even comes with some of the parts for the finger swapping style! But that’s my only complaint I have #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 22d I completely forgot about the rifle, it’s been sitting on the drying rack for nearly a week at this point lol. But it’s together now and came out pretty well other than some overspray on the stock. I really do like the jewel detail for the sensor too #gunpla #gundam
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 24d Finally got some more time to work on this guy! I added a bit of metallic detail on the sides of the legs and I also painted in the vent area on the knee. The panel lining was also very satisfying because they’re like the perfect depth for it #gundam #gunpla
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 25d Nearly everything in my room is packed now, i condensed 3 1/2 shelves of mostly gunpla into just this and even most of these are going to get packed up soon, I’m just nervous about packing the MGs and RGs because they’re more fragile.
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 28d Most of mine are unfortunately packed already, these are the only ones that aren’t yet but they’re the best ones
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 28d No more stock radio! The stock radio was somehow the most annoying one I’ve ever had to use. It took forever to connect to my phone either with the wire or Bluetooth, it would randomly change the volume and usually mute songs, and it randomly changed speed of podcasts that I listened to
Ted’s Builds@tedsgundams· 29d Finally managed to get in some more work on the GM Sniper! This is also my first experience with the fully articulated MG hands and honestly I already hate them after just putting on a single hand. The index finger is already popping out after barely using it #gundam #gunpla
