Amuro Ray’s Gundam RX-78-02

My Master Grade Gramps has been taunting me at 90% completion for weeks while I fuck around with Magic card and MechWarrior so I finally finished him last night

I didn't really grasp the height difference between this monster and a normal 1:144 HG or RG kit, the sheer mass of the panels had put me off for a while after I built him

It's a good kit, but the dedication to having removable core section for the fighter means the midsection is a little iffy, I'd have preferred a solid skeleton

Anyways back to disappearing for another month or whenever I finish a project next

King of The Mech - (a dumb joke i put too much time and effort in lol, but I hope you all like/reblog it! Singles/process below the cut.)

(in case the reference wasn't clear lol. also yeah, i don't think MechaGodzilla's hand can hold a can so i just ripped his arm off to save time. life hack.)

(yes, i was gonna draw megasXLR but i felt like the megazord fit in better here... onto more working on the Glitch Hunters pilot in the background and sketching a certain demigod poll winner...)

Having finished six Gundam shows, including Gundam's original trilogy (0079, Zeta, ZZ) and with GQuuuuuuX on the horizon, I've been thinking a lot about what I think Gundam is really about. I've talked before about Gundam being a story about loneliness and finding a place where you can belong, but I think there's a third thematic throughline that pervades throughout every show.

Survival.

In the shows I've watched so far, each story is about people thrust into conflicts they didn't start nor fully understand and having to do their best to get through it without dying or losing themselves to the madness of it all. These characters rarely have that much power to change the world around them and can only hope that their actions may one day lead to a future where they and their descendants don't have to fight.

To me, compared to similar franchises like Star Wars, Gundam stories are generally less about creating a better future and more about not losing hope in one. As a kid who's had to come into adulthood in the 20-fucking-20s, I find endings like IBO's and ZZ's a lot more relatable and even kinda needed in this day and age. Sometimes, the world just refuses to really get any better and the best you can manage is to survive it with the people you love.

These shows have honestly helped me cope with a lot of the...everything that's happened this year and I can't thank them enough.
