Gunpla Diaries

Just wanted to ask ppl if they aren't able to access the links at the end of each thread. Just reply with a yes or no so that I can start fixing them. Thanks!

Here's the end result of the head. I think it's looking pretty cool for a first time job from me 😁

Results with the antenna. The antenna comes from the 30 MMM Option Parts 6 (Customize Heads A).

Here, I was working on that attachment, an antenna!

The plan was to drill holes in the square area on the right side and the circle on the left. I wanted to see which side worked best.

This entry really just concludes the Sniper Alto Custom that I was working on, with the added drum, ammo belt, and shield from an Alto Sniper option set.

Vince on Instagram: "Gunpla Diaries - 3 Hello again guys! Just wanted to share the first bit of progress that I did with the Gundam Ground Type bootleg (I don't think I clarified what this model was last post, orz) First thing that I did was actually modify the inside of the helmet so that it would allow the faceplate to just slide in from underneath, as shown in the vid. This was achieved with a square file. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a "before" photo of what the inside looked like pre-mod 😅. After getting that sorted out, I began sealing the helmet with some Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. It helps to remove the seam line that runs down the sides of the helmet. Pressing the pieces together allows for beads of cement to pop out. When these dry and cure, sanding them out should make the lines disappear (for the most part. I actually don't know if I did it well XD). All of this was done yesterday. Today, I realized that the line on top of the mohawk looking area didn't have any beads, since I sanded the pieces badly. So I super glued that area, treating it as a putty replacement for any lost plastic in that area. Hopefully the sanding won't be too crazy after a day of drying and curing. That's all the progress I have on this model, so I'll see you guys in the next post. Take care! o/ #gundam #gundamgroundtype #gunpla #bootleg #custom #customgunpla" 19 likes, 0 comments - gunpla_diaries on March 12, 2025: "Gunpla Diaries - 3 Hello again guys!

I also used some Tamiya extra thin cement to remove the seamline that runs across the head. I also used some super glue to seal a sanding mishap at the top of the head.

Here's the video for the intended effect.

This entry really focused on modding the head for painting, as well as adding a custom attachment. Here I file the inside of the head so that I could slot the faceplate through the bottom for painting.

Now I am going to start with the catch up posts. I also was working on a 30 Minutes Missions kit when I was starting out with my custom posts. I hope you can enjoy this image of my Sniper Alto Custom.

So I've heard XD. I'm just excited for building and customizing my fave mobile suit.

I'm still figuring out how to link up these posts to their original ones out of this platform, so I will make an appropriate reply when I do figure that out.

Sorry, deleted the first post because I was fixing things up.

Here is the first post that I made, just introducing the page and what I wanted to do. Probs also the origin of my usage of the handwave. o/

Hello there! This will be a place for the shorter versions of posts coming from my series called Gunpla Diaries. Longer versions of each will be linked in the form of public FB posts in each reply so everyone can see. Hope to see you along the ride! Take care! o/
