1. Choose a side. My team: The White Devils(I changed it cuz it sounds cooler) slyamanjaro's team: Sons Of Jaburo 2. Build 1 or more gunplas. But remember: quality over quantity 3. All kits must be complete 4. To show off kits, post pics and tag one of us in so we can…

Due in march. And it’s not a real “battle” with points. We just build and choose a side.

Ah. Well I know it isn't like a fight battle, but I figured lets say White Devils and Sons of Jaburo have 4 guys each, then you get paired up to see between the two of you who has the better looking build? Then whoever wins, moves on or something to compare against another lol. Ah well.

Rules for the build battle

1. Choose a side. My team: The White Devils(I changed it cuz it sounds cooler) slyamanjaro's team: Sons Of Jaburo 2. Build 1 or more gunplas. But remember: quality over quantity 3. All kits must be complete 4. To show off kits, post pics and tag one of us in so we can see. 5. Also, tag “The White Devils” or “SonsofJaburo” in the tag bar. 6. My theme for my team is knights. You don’t have to follow this, but you can if you want. Those are the rules. slyamanjaro, what should the due date be?

Interesting prose- How are points / winners determined, do we match off with pairings? (thatd be interesting lol) Might be down, depending on the due date.

To Gunpla Plamo modders, Anyone have any particular monoeye mods?

Im trying to see if there are small items that can be modified, or is it better to just find something similar for a cleaner look.

Well, you could use a small, round, pink half-dome if that’s what you mean.

Sorry for the delayed reply on this, but yes! that's a perfect idea. The question is, where would I find that...

Rom Builds Things: 1/2400 NG White Base [From the 80s?]

Picked this up super cheap on a day I thought to speed build, only to realize

1) this requires glue 2) I suddenly wanted to do this up really nicely, though just via spray and acrylics.

As you can see, I colour separated the booster, as well as prepping the rest for paint. Gotta sand this down. It's really cute though.
