what a beautiful, beautiful phrase
Common eider
This needs to be immortalized because it's what made me turn on the sound. And they were right
Reblog if that shit between Kimberly and Trini in Power Rangers 2017 was gay as fuck.
Sister Suletta
So, given my new obsession with the 30M line, I bought 120AU of option parts. And decided to turn Suletta into a Sister.
There’s a reason she doesn’t have matching parts is that Mio has her trialing new GUND tech give what the Permet did to her.
And yes, I will be making Mio a Sister.
I have impure thoughts of what ‘poses’ I thinking. Thank you Altariadactyl for your WFM ‘Have, Hold’ fanfic.
30 Minute Obsession
So, yesterday, I began my 30 Minute project by purchasing Tiasha and Suletta's wife. My idea of stick a Sister's head on a HG Gundam Frame (IBO) may bear fruit once I grab 2 Zagan. But I have other ideas. Which are:
Sister Lizzie Wizzie & V (2077 player here), Fantasy Suletta (I've seen some good fan art) and others racing in my mind.
Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.
Mika Tags
So, back in December, I ordered what appeared to be Mikazuki’s ‘dog tag’s but then I thought “wait, CGS never really had dog tags”. Eh. And they don’t looked stamped like Athrun’s and Cagali’s did.
Again, eh. Was only 50AUD, so not really a waste. But I could repurpose them for a gundam OC I’ve been mulling in my head for years.
EDIT 23/2: They arrived this morning on my ‘day of honour’. Was only expecting them to be printed, not stamped, so that’s cool.
TEKKADAN JACKET
Months ago, I ordered the Tekkadan jacket from p-Bandai. If you don’t know, it’s the one they wear on saisei during the ritual between them and the Turbines. Hope it arrives by the next build meet-up or if not, by the night of the movie. (Yes, I’ve read all about what happens. I just want to see the Tekkadan part.)
I’ll post pics when it arrives.
EDIT 23/1: It arrive before 0800. I almost cried when I opened the box to see it all folded up.
Kinda makes me feel like a member of Tekkadan themselves. Will be awesome to wear this at the IBO movie next week.
I got him!!!!
So after trying and failing to find the MGSD Barbie IBC, my friend found one on a Japanese seller site he frequents. Being the same price as the Miku ZAKU I bought, we arranged a trade: the Barbie for the Zaku.
EDIT 19/1: So my friend decided not to want the Miku Zaku and wants to paint a regular RG in her colours, so I got to keep the Miku Zaku for myself and I paid them the cost of Barbie for collection next week.
I caved…
Well, I kept that promise to myself for all but a week. After seeing the RG Miku Zaku, RG G-3 and a HG GM Spartan…I crumbled. Yeah, I used AfterPay for the purchase but it still didn’t feel good. Then there’s the build meet-up at Mana Market tomorrow. I mean, before I build, I see what new stock they have gotten in and buy what I can afford.
NY resolutions-
* Explore Adult Diaper fetish
For me, this is more on me not needing to go to the toilet during a gaming, hobby or social event than a ‘age play’ or ‘regression’ thing.
* Explore ‘Sissy’ fetish via a ‘Daddy’ and/or “Mommy”
As above, for me, it will be about exploring a side of myself.
* Find employment/steady revenue stream
Pretty self-explanatory. I detest being on government benefits but some people like myself need a leg up once in a while.
* Gain muscle, lose weight (70kg, Size 16 female clothing)
* Independent housing
For most of my life, I’ve lived with my parents. Yes, my siblings have their own families and places. I’ve been slow on the uptake. The only times I’ve been away is living with my friends (which imploded without my involvement) and a 6 month stretch from October 2020 to April 2021.
* Find life companion/s
I believe I have found THE ONE but once I say to them yes, the proverbial ball will be in their court. Adding more will depend on us.
* Be part of a pen and paper campaign
Thanks to Hasbro doing all they did to kill D&D, I want to play either Cyberpunk or Masquerade. Both settings appeal to me immensely.
* Attend a SW Celebration and or Galaxy’s Edge
With the shit currently going on in the newest and dumbest administration ever, I’m holding off going to “Freedomland” for the foreseeable future
* Own Gaming PC
I love my Deck for what it is, but I want to build one to my specs. Definitely want to resemble the NERV/GEHIRN look. Or a Gundam HARO build. But with AI companies in cahoots with chip manufacturers, who knows when I’ll get this done.
* Build GUNPLA within month of buying it
A simple enough rule designed to keep me busy on my constantly growing backlog until I spot a holy grail kit that’s next to impossible to acquire physically.
This will be kept up until all are struck through by achieving them or as a reminder
PGU RX-78
Since February, I took the plunge and bought myself the PGU RX-78. For the longest time, I only finished the legs and waist at Phase 2. The damn thing is intimidating.
Tonight, I built the Core Block, Core Fighter, Beam Sabres, Rifle and Shield.
Yes, the Core Fighter is jank as hell but since I’m re painting it in reverse G-3 colours, it’ll do for now. Now, until the release of the Nu Gundam, I’ll continue the build until I’m happy with it.
My GUNPLA Edict
I’ve been in this hobby since August 2021. Since then, I’ve probably bought at least 3K AUD worth of it, ranging from Entry Grades to the maker-dreading Perfect Grade Unleashed. With my Asperger’s, it’s an expensive hobby to have.
To combat this, I’ve come up with a way for me to keep me on-track. Focused. To that end, I pledge to only purchase models from my preferred timelines/universes. Which are the following;
Anno Domini (00)
Post Disaster (IRON BLOODED ORPHANS)
Universal Century (all branches)
I also have another set of pre-requisites I want to stick by- only acquire models that are either abandoned, destroyed or ‘lost”.
Rules of Acquisition-
High/ Real Grade (1/144): mass-production only (HG), experimental units only (RG)
Master Grade (1/100): Antag/ Protagonist models only, best/final unit only, one of each due to space limits. If a Ver.Ka exists of it, it will be prioritised over others depending on print year.
Perfect Grade: Main show unit only. Perfect Grade Unleashed versions will be prioritised over others.
OTHER (MGSD, SDCS, HAROPLA)
Colour Types-
Clear Colour: Exactly as described. Outer armour is clear. Depending on print date, white can range from cloudy to clear.
Cross Color contrast: Colours of kit are different from regular printed. Coloured frames with some armour clear.
Ecopla: recycled Gunpla runners, mainly black w/ neon accents
Plated: Either in silver or gold.
ASW-G-XX-Shiva
For most of this year, I’ve been working on my IBO kitbash project- Shiva. I thought long & hard on the name, given the naming conventions of the Gundam Frames. Given its being reborn, I sought out deities that were. Then, given I’m giving it Full City’s backpack, Shiva made sense. Funnily enough, I’m building it in both High Grade and Master Grades.
Parts to use-
H: Vidar
B: Barbatos Lupus
A: Vidar
W: Barbatos Lupus
L: Barbatos Lupus
BP:
With the HG version, I have FC thanks to the Tekkadan set I bought a while ago. With the MG, I’ll have to think creatively.
EDIT 18/11 AEST: looking at the offical pics of the MG Lupus has got me in a way. Shiva is going to end up with more guns than arms to use them with. Once I get Lupus, I’m putting Lupus’s lower arms on Vidar’s uppers. Then, I’m putting Vidar’s front skirt on Lupus then grabbing another Vidar for the rifle. Yeah, it may have the designation of a god of rebirth, but my Shiva, is making sure no one comes back from the dead.
Oh, and I expecting the delivery of the cross-contrast Barbie I ordered on Saturday. So, I’ll have an extra Mace, Sword and Smoothbore Gun.
EDIT: 11/2/26: Finally snagged a MG Lupus at my LGS where I build with my group.
HG ZAKU II R6 Painting Model
Last night, I started a new build. One from my haul during the Tour in Sydney. Yeah, it’s a Zaku, but it’s an Origin Zaku. Had an idea to paint the power pipes neon pink due to electrical energy being either pink or purple. I’ve got it half done ( Head, Body, Waist, Weapons and it’s Left Arm) and should have it done by the weekend.
UPDATE 22/10-
I finished it but the feet just don’t connect to the legs, but I’m satisfied it’s done.
MGSD GUNDAM BARIAL REPAIR
So, with my ever expanding MGSD collection, I’ve added TWO Aerials to my backlog. It’s kind of my thing with certain kits. Sometimes it’s for spare parts or kitbashes, or as the 40K lore nerds would appreciate, more dakka. However, with my Sydney kit, I made a mistake regarding the neck. But I digress.
Ever since they added the Aerial to SDBA, I always had Mikazuki and his Barbatos along with Suletta and Aerial. Plus, the Gundam fandom kinda put them together as friends or cohorts. And since I like sticking to lore builds, I’m attempting to put Barbie’s left arm and leg on Aerial. The leg so far is a no-go. As for the arm…
I want to finish this by the 20th of November so I can display it at GMHX in Brisbane.
More updates to follow….and I’m building the second Aerial as a Holder variant.
UPDATE 16/10-
Managed to get Barbie’s left arm on but it swivels on the the post. Eh, got a month or so to deal with it so no biggie.
GUNDAM BASE WORLD TOUR
As you may have guessed, Bandai are finally doing a GBWT. And my country Australia is part of it. I find it hilarious that Sydney is the spot, as that was the place the colony was dropped in most Gundam lore. After securing my accommodation, I’m now in the process of securing tickets to and from Sydney. I also have an eye on most of the kits I want along with some of the Tour exclusives.
EDIT 13/8-
I’ve seen what’s on offer and it’s paltry. But, at least I’ll maybe snag that IBC Barbie I lust for.
EDIT 22/8-
Finally got my flights booked and paid for. Now to mentally pack my 7kg allowed carry-on. Mostly my clothes and my phone, Steam Deck and wallet.
UPDATE 5/9-
Well looks like they’re selling kits in waves. Most of the kits I wanted will available after I’ve left on the 26th. But, I did see what I can get and thankfully, the RG 78 2.0 in GBC is available. Along with PMs (Painting Model) of the HG Unicorn Destroy Mode and the HG GTO Zaku II C-6/R6. Kinda bummed I can’t grab the IBC Barbie MGSD, but I’ll grab it when I can
UPDATE 19/9-
So, I’ve learned that the GBWT can ship the stuff you buy to your home address for a fee. With that information, perhaps I can still get that IBC Barbie I lust for. I can’t stand the whole FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) part of life.
UPDATE 23/9-
Finally arrived yesterday then I bought everything on my list. Seems I didn’t do the correct calculations as it was more expensive than planned. But I managed and had them sent via postage. However, I spied some that I wanted that I thought exclusive to Japan. So, tomorrow is a brand new day.
UPDATE 4/10-
Out of the 10 kits I bought during the ‘tour’, I’ve built two. Both the RX-78 EG ReCo and Rising Freedom HG ReCo I thought would be a Japanese exclusive. Not really sure which one I want to start next. I’ve still got the vanilla RG 2.0 78 to finish but the MGSD Aerial is tempting me.
