Oh, I'm no where near the skill level of customizing a kit myself. I'm more in the skill level of hiring someone to do that for me.

Sentai, I didn't think I had the fine motor skills either but seriously just in the last 3 weeks I've already improved. I built (poorly) a few things and have progressively brushed up. Now I'm in the middle of building my Zee-Zulu and Zudah and actually getting better. Just start out with some cheap 144 kits and work your way up. Even the older Master Grades could work for you.

I could try. I just hate the thought of spending money on a model kit, and then flubbing something up that can't be repaired, is all.

I don't need a model kit for that. All toys are customizable if you put the effort into it. Only difference is model kits try to promote customization as a gimmick of sorts.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong that, just that not all of us want to customize every little bit of it. Basically, to each their own.

I've always wanted to learn how to paint figures. I see alot of my TF's, for example, and think.. So many ideas.

Do the Japanese blu-rays of Unicorn have English subs? For that matter, which Gundam series on blu-ray have English subs? Ever since Bandai Visual decided to no longer localize stuff for US distro...I've been disappointed. womp womp.

The latest plamo I built were a couple SD Gundams months back. 00 Quanta, Exia, and the 1st AGE set. The AGE set is a great intro set. Quanta has loose arms...overall it's disappointing I found Exia to be a much more pleasant and stable build(except for his GN Blade cracking at a hole that was too tight for a peg).

I also built the HG30th Gundam which came with a Gundam marker and and intro to Gundam detailing techniques. I got back into Gundam plamo building last year. Bandai has come a long way. I LOVE how they make display stands now. 10+ years back this was not common at all. HGUC has become a kick ass line.

I have the newer HG Shining Gundam and the HGUC Jesta waiting to be built. Ever since getting into plamo I decided to learn more about painting and detailing, and customizing in general. So the aforementioned kits might get fully painted when I build them.

My latest finished projects.

Vintage 1/100 Heavygun from F91. Not a bad kit at all. A bit simplistic with lite plastics, but a fun build none the less.


HGUC Zee-Zulu from Unicorn
This thing is the definition of glory. Such an awesome design and it translates so well into model form. All the weapos are removable and the flippers for more of a land combat mode. Very intricate, very nice.


My recently built (rather poorly) Master Grade GM Quel is also lurking in the background

No, Japanese Blu-Rays in general do not have english Subs. And to avoid the phenomenon of reverse importing (i.e. Japanese consumers importing the same product made for the US/European/Other Asian regions) the same show usually does not have the Japanese language track. This is especially noticeable in Blu-Rays because Blu-Rays are largely region free whereas DVDs had different region locks.

I see your little collection of Gunpla is slowly starting to grow.
