Maybe discuss the negative effects on mental health of changing our clocks again that everyone hates and are tired of that you have not done anything about.

1/100th scale pilot figures of Trowa Barton and Setsuna something, painted by a gunpla hack and photographed on a piece of wood, a final goodbye before Trowa goes back to his true owner, who knows what his name is.

I finished painting my friend's Trowa Barton figure, which I'm surprised nobody recognized since so many people are gundam wing/ heavyarms lovers. Here he is with that Exia pilot, whats-his-name, Setsuna? Stay cool, be good to your friends. 🙂❤️

Battletech minis stuck on a board waiting to be primed and maybe some sand stuck to their bases by a gunpla hack who is just being really lazy about doing gunpla that he's now dabbling in a totally different hobby.

Oh man, I've been so lazy building these HG kits. I airbrushed 5 pieces and then messed with tiny figures again. But hey, it's not like I'm completely failing at world diplomacy like some people. Hold on for the weekend, don't forget to relax. 🙂❤️

Part of the box art for the MG Char's Zaku II showing that his bazooka had no seam 1/3 of the way down because Char knows that bazooka seams blow up when you shoot! And accuracy, yeah that.

A close-up of a beautiful megasize zaku II showing how the builder actually left the 1/3 seam and even pre-shaded it to make it officially a panel line. Pretty good approach, no shame! Not done by the gunpla hack, image from the net.

Close up of the megasize Zaku II's bazooka built by a gunpla hack who slaved for days and ate plastic sanding and filling that seam just to get this smooth tube. Bazooka hanging on the butt of the zaku, standing on a cutting mat, with no 1/3 seam visible on the tube just like Char likes it. Maybe a ribbed bazooka is better, know wha I mean.

Do you think you would leave that seam in the zaku II bazooka? I hid mine on the megasize and it was a lot of work. Better builders than me have left the seam; even hardcore guys are lazy, haha! MG box art included for comparison. Stay cool, weekend coming.🙂❤️ Relax, do gunpla.

Close up of a modded zaku II built by a gunpla hack who extended the shoulder spike maybe because he's trying to compensate for something, and with a panzerfaust below out of focus because he left a seamline there that bugs him.

1/100 scale pilot figure painted mostly blue and grey on a black base by a gunpla hack who knows it's the pilot from the Exia but is too lazy to remember or Google it because man, that guy is lazy and he is trying to get out of working on those other kits, posed on a piece of wood.

I confess that I have 2 HG kits all prepped, primed and pre-shaded but I just wanted to quietly paint pilot figures because I'm lazy. See? It's not hard to confess, even if you confess that you are bad at voting. 🙂❤️ Try to relax.

Ready for primer, I think. Working full time, don't get much gunpla done during the week. At least it's better than ruining an economy or starting a war. Try some modding, you can do it! 🤠❤️

Hey, do you wash your gunpla parts before you paint them? They used to say Bandai used a release agent that you should wash off, but I wash them mostly for the dust from sanding. Is there release agent on there or is that a myth? 🙂❤️ stay cool, wash yourself sometimes.
