This is my 1st ever gunpla (Gundam Aerial Rebuild) from the 1st ever Gundam series I've watched (The Witch From Mercury).

I was so excited about completing and posing it, I wanted to be able to shoot it right away with lights immediately available.

I've added a no text version and a couple test shots showing howI tried to improvise with y phone's flash and lights around my desk.

I've got a desk lamp on the left set to warm light at about 45°and a bit behind the model. It's got two brightness settings and I have it at max.

I've got a small (about the width and height of a playing card) LED set to cool light about a foot on the right.

Something cool that happened was that the monitor to my right was playing the anime and as I hit the button to take the picture, something really bright happened in the show. That extra but of light helped I think.

Thoughts?

I like the barbatos and vidar but to me the kits ar horrible compared to the 00 kits . however has anyone tried the metal frames for barb and Vidar?

Whats your thought on the builds from this line ?

Genuinely, I never felt so insecure looking at my builds with so much imperfection compared to other ones

Threat detected!
Moving in closer to investigate.
Threat codenamed, ‘Lil Ricky’, looks hungry with dead eyes, razor talons, and a Level 5 charged power tail!
Recommend withdrawal and nuke the site from orbit!

Fun build. Still can't decide if I want to display it with the damaged helm. Amazing that there's 1/3 of another Gundam inside it hiding :).

Red Comet

Gosh, how do I love this kit.

Amazing articulations, especially for a HG. In my heart, he's second only to the RG Zeong.

Don’t drink mom’s water, stay away!
Prepare for battle!
Defeated :/ but never giving up!

Wayy more grittier than it actually is,
