#sandiegogunpla

*makes airplane noises* My base kit for the @gunplabuildersassociation build contest. My current plan is to customize it into some sort of stealth fighter, so I'm reading up (mostly Wikipedia) on existing stealth fighters to find what about their design makes them so stealthy. I want to make sure it looks good both in both transformation modes. The Anubaze is on the backburner for now, since the contest has an actual deadline, but I'll likely keep Pledge gloss coating it in the meantime. #gunpla #gundam #plamo #plamodel #gunplawip #gundam00 #overflag #sandiegogunpla

So, I messed up and didn't link my pictures properly when I submitted my #gunplabuildersassociation Cannon Fodder entry, so they only got the first image in the Google Drive folder, the "proof of straight-build" picture. However, the contest organizers must have missed my submission, because my entry never showed up in the full album until a few days ago (and even then it was the "proof of straight-build" picture). By then it was too late, the contest was over. And they never contacted me about the whole issue, probably because it was way too late and they were busy managing the rest of the contest. My entry just slipped through the cracks. But, unlike the image above suggests, I'm not mad. I'm sad I missed my chance to show off my completed kit. Nothing against the contest organizers, I'm sure they did their best. I'm still satisfied with what I was able to accomplish in 3 months for my second ever contest, even if it didn't turn out exactly the way I intended. I learned a lot along the way, and intend to use that experience to make my next build better, and the one after that, and the one after that. Thanks for reading this really long message, and I hope my lack of salt inspires you in some way. #gunpla #gundam #plamo #plamodel #customgunpla #sandiegogunpla

Something like that. Next up is adding two slanted plane tails to the feet. #gunplabuildersassociation contest due in three weeks. #gunpla #gundam #plamo #plamodel #customgunpla #gunplawip #gundam00 #overflag #sandiegogunpla

Of the two customs I've built so far, my greatest construction challenge that I've made for myself is the creation of 3D shapes out of plaplate. This time, it's 3D triangular prisms with a small gap at the top to allow the wings to still move. #gunpla #gundam #plamo #plamodel #customgunpla #gunplawip #scratchbuild #gundam00 #overflag #sandiegogunpla

EB-068r Anubaze Because the Graze Ritter is EB-06r and the Reginlaze is EB-08. #gunpla #gundam #plamo #plamodel #customgunpla #gunplawip #kitbash #ibo #ironbloodedorphans #graze #reginlaze #sandiegogunpla

Going with two sets of these effect parts is the way to go. You can make do with one since it comes with 2 pegboards, a street plate, and 4 buildings, but if you want to capture multible subjects then having 2 or more is a must. #gundam #gunpla #sandiegogunpla #instagundams #tamashiinations

It'll be awhile till I can figure out how to use these properly, but I'm excited about the oppertunities i'll be able to make utilizing these. #gundam #gunpla #sandiegogunpla #instagundams #tamashiinations
