Dragons are the most well developed part of fss lore imho, there are so many extra pages of beautiful anatomical details, powers and legends
My favorite thing about them is how they refer to MHs and Fatimas as Giants and Fairies, gives them such an air of mystique

Painted model kit of the Gundam Barbatos Lupus from Gundam Iron blooded orphans, swinging its sword-mace down on an enemy suit like in the first episode of season 2 of the show
There is smoke coming out from its shoulders and from the remains of the mobile suit hit by its mace
A miniature figure of Mikazuki, the pilot of the Barbatos and protagonist of Gundam IBO is standing next to the mecha's foot

Mg 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Lupus
Painted build with a custom base
One of the model kits I'm most proud of, I feel like I improved my skills a lot working on it.
IBO is one of the Gundam series I'm most fond of, I love its setting and characters, so I'm happy it came out so well

Took some pictures of my VSMS Daccas with a proper background and better lighting
Every time I look at it I get reminded of how good GTM designs are, so elegant yet otherworldly
I really hope to get my hands on the Kaiserin and Mk-3 Ritter Jet soon

This kit looks so good! I'm looking for a listing that ships to my country at a reasonable price almost daily at this point
No luck yet unfortunately

I think the main reason why people seem to dislike GTMs is because they're only familiar with them in un-articulated resin kits, while articulation and movement is where they really shine
Let's hope this new translation opens up to a bigger audience

It's probably one of Nagano's favorites too, since he has made a version of it for almost every type of mecha he ever created
(If you squint hard enough, Qubeley and Barons are also Auge variants)

First model kit of the year
HG Original Auge (from Heavy Metal L-Gaim)
I tried to replicate the shininess it has in the show with chrome and clear paints
My favorite design in all of L-Gaim, this version appears only in the final episode, and it spends the whole time basically aura farming

Three quarters view of a model kit standing on a table
It's a skeletal looking robot with a very thin torso that looks like a Spine, it has a shield attached to each forearm and it's holding a sword in its right hand
The inner frame is painted in chrome, while the outer armor is a dark pearlescent green, with some black details

Volks VSMS 1/100 GTM Daccas The Black Knight (from Five Star Stories)
While many people prefer Mortar Heads, I have come to really appreciate the designs of Gothicmades, I love their skeletal, almost alien appearances
This one was definitely the best plastic model kit by volks so far

Screenshot of one of the pivotal scenes of the movie Gundam F91, where the Gundam itself starts to glow and reveals a hidden face with more human features, like a nose and an opening similar to a mouth, below it's normal face plate

It's also a perfect contrast to Iron Mask, who hides his humanity with the mask and uses autonomous killing drones to oppress and kill without feeling personal responsibility, while the F91 sheds its mouth plate and reveals a human face to allow Seabook to reach his full potential and save Cecily

The KOG is a very special kit to me, as it was my first paint job, so I wanted to do justice to the AT version as well
I'm pretty satisfied with the result
It's another one of the Mortar Heads piloted by the Fatima Atropos

They're in Japanese, but image translation is good enough to understand most of them fortunately

Probably my favorite mecha design, I love how it has very little armor on its armor to allow more powerful sword strikes
Its pilot Christine V is also one of my favorite characters ever.
Had a lot of fun with this kit.

Maria Kawamura starred as a voice actress in almost any single animated project Mamoru Nagano has worked on, and he dedicated like four different characters in Five Star Stories (as well as basically the entire manga) to her. They such a cute couple

EG Casval Gundam!
Since the casval Gundam is usually depicted as either pink or reddish orange, I tried using colorshift paints to represent both color schemes
Done in honor of the Red Gundam from gquuuuuuux, can't wait for the movie and the kit to come to my country!

I used some color shift paint from GSW that I had to give the impression that it was like live fire
I applied the gold and copper and a bit of blue colorshifts with random brushstrokes until it looked "fiery" and then made the little angels with a toothpick
