2023 Gunpla Recap

I built a lot of Gunpla in 2023! Some of that is because I was unemployed for a month and a half and some of that is because I don't spend a ton of time on each kit. I like gunpla because I can usually build something nice in an afternoon. So without further ado...

RG RX-93ff Nu Gundam

My first build of the year but I didn't "finish" it until I got the Double Fin Funnel expansion set later. While I'm not a big fan of the Nu, I did want to own at least one kit of it, and was intrigued by the ff with it's classic tri-color color scheme. The giant funnel is a little goofy, but the kit itself is fantastic.

RG Tallgeese III

This kit looks fantastic but I hated nearly every minute building it.

MG Char's Z'Gok

Of all the Z'Gok's I've built, this one is my favorite. It's a shame the box got absolutely destroyed during shipping.

HG Gundam Aerial

I couldn't get ahold of an Aerial until after S1 ended. Great kit, but those reverse stickers are a nightmare.

MG Dozle Zabi's Custom Zaku II

This is technically the Dozle Zabi P-Bandai kit, but I really got it as an excuse to build my own custom Zaku II (Teal/black being my favorite color combo and MORE SPIKES!) I haven't finished it yet though.

SD Xiao Qiao GN Archer

I love the Gundam Artemie/GN Archer, tho I'm not a big fan of the Sangoku SD kits. I mostly bought this for my wife, who loves it.

HG Hashmal

The Hasmal is so cool, I'm glad I was finally able to snag one. I kinda gave up once I got to the Pluma though.

HG Demi-Trainer (Holder Custom)

The first kit I ever fully painted, and it shows. Still more or less happy how it turned out, although I forgot to mask the visor when I top coated it x.x

HG Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort] Psycho Blade Custom

My 2nd Woundwort, I had to get it for the fancy V-Fin. I don't like it as much as the original Woundwort though, it definitely loses something in all black.

HG Gundam Aerial Rebuild

I built this at a time when I was seriously considering abandoning the HG line because how much I'd grown to dislike the builds. But this kit was so amazing it rekindled my interest in HGs. I highly recommend it.

MGSD Freedom Gundam

This may be one of my favorite kits this year. Absolutely amazing build with zero stickers. It felt great to assemble, feels great to hold and looks amazing. I hope the MGSD line sticks around because this one was GREAT!

RG Destiny Impulse Gundam

Definitely knew I had to have this one as soon as I saw it. Destiny Impulse is a favorite of mine and it's glorious in kit form. The colors are gorgeous.

FRS Suletta Mercury & Miorine Rembran

Two for one! I had to keep Sulemio together. These were my first FRS kits (poseable figures usually aren't my thing) and they're...okay? I was actually surprised by how much effort the Suletta kit required with it's uniform stickers, and the waterslide decals for the eyes on both were a nightmare. I have the normal uniform Suletta on pre-order, but I'm not in a hurry to build another one.

FM Gundam Aerial (Permet Score Six)

Oh, what a wonderful build. It's not quite a MG on the inside, but it absolutely looks the part on the outside. I painted the shell units blue for that Score Six look, although it doesn't pop as much as I'd like. I hope this line continues.

MG Testament Gundam

The Testament has been a favorite of mine for a long time, so this was a grail kit for me. I wish it was molded in the original white instead of red (and the build was kind of bad), but this kit looks fantastic!

MG Re-GZ Custom

Much like I wanted to build at least 1 Nu Gundam, I also wanted to build at least one Zeta Gundam. I'm not enough of a fan of the Zeta to buy it, but the Re-GZ Custom is IMO the coolest of the Zeta line, especially with the AK-47 Beam rifle.

HG Gundam Calibarn

The Calibarn is now my favorite Gundam, and I love this kit. However, it does require a lot of stickers (the broom thrusters are AWFUL) and/or detail painting to get complete color accuracy, which makes it a little bit of a tedious build, IMO.

HG Demi-Barding

From here on out it's all G-Witch (for a very specific reason). The Barding may have been criminally underutilized in the show, but the kit itself is great! Mind you, it's basically the Demi-Trainer build with a new trim and a fancy backpack.

HG Gundam Pharact

This kit made me fall in love with the Pharact itself, what a great design. Those C Clips are absolutely terrifying though.

HG Gundam Schwarzette

Perhaps my favorite HG kit ever. It's a fun and easy build, looks great with minimal effort, and those thick stickers for the sword are so satisfying to apply. This kit comes with my highest recommendation.

HG Gundam Aerial (Permet Score Six)

I definitely prefer this over the retail Aerial. It still has those reverse stickers, but the glitter effect on the shell unit covers really makes them pop (please do one like this for Calibarn, Bandai).

HG Gundam Excalibarn

My goal was to create a Gundam that used the Aerial's Escutcheon shield, the Schwarzette's Guardian sword and the Calibarn's broom rifle. It's not 100% finished yet, but I'm satisfied with how it's come out so far.

HG Gundam Lfrith Ur

Solid kit, love the teal armor, hate all the sanding.

HG Gundam Lfrith Thorn

Ugly as sin, yet it keeps growing on me over time. More horible sanding, but I want to kitbash it with the Ur someday.

RG Nu Gundam ff

En celebración a la ingnaguración de la Gundam Base en Fukuoka, se lanza una edicion limitada del Rg Nu Gundam, que solo se imprimira por unica vez en la base.

Este al ser una re-edición de un modelo ya existente, no brinda nada nuevo, solo un recoloreado.

Al ser una edición limitado, el encontrarlo es una tarea ardua, ademas que su precio se ve elevado por lo mismo.

Recomendaria la edición normal del Rg nu Gundam sobre la versión ff, ya que este es mas accesible.

Solo recomendaria la versión ff, si buscar coleccionarlo.

Advance of Zeta Development Timeline, FF Nu in GBO2 [The Gundam Explained Show 102] http://dlvr.it/SrQfgr

[thatonelesbianthatbuildsgundams]

Personally I would choose the nu Gundam ff or the zeta, but I am biased towards rg kits. I haven't seen the nu ff before and that kit looks amazing, but I am a sucker for the big big guns 😁

Back home with my gunpla backlog~~~

The kits in question:

MG Jesta Cannon - uploaded a pic of the box a few weeks ago. Once this one's done I gotta dig out my other four Jestas and do a group photo ^^

HG Qubeley MK II (Ple Two) - love the HG revive qubeley so much. Photo shoot of the trio will be much easier, since the other two are on my shelf right now.

RG Nu Gundam ff - Nu Gundam with BIG GUN. Really liked the RG Nu, but kinda dreading the intricacies of all the RG stickers/panel lining. Which leads me to-

RG Zeta Gundam-3 (Amuro) - Screaming. Dreading. So excited. It'll look beautiful and I'll cry when I break its leg clasp. Wild stallion vibes.

Any thoughts on which I should tackle first?

Alright I'm looking into getting a full weapon thing for the eg nu gundam

I can preorder the eg nu gundam ff, buy the normal eg nu gundam, and get the hg nu gundam for the funnels. Then just put the weapons and fin funnel attachment piece from the normal eg on the ff, and then put the fin funnels on it and there, full weapons system.

And if they make a hws nu gundam with everything, I'm buying it and putting the armor and fin funnels from that onto the entry grade ff.
