Photoshopped works are discouraged. Build submissions should be indicative of your building ability and not overtly aided with computer generated enhancements.
Do not steal other people's builds, repost or present them as your own. If the build is not yours, flair it with the "Not my Build" but you have to present a good reason in your title why it needs to be part of the discussion. "It looks cool" is not a valid reason.
This is a meme-free zone. NO MEMES!
Photos of hauls (boxes and unbuilt kits) are not allowed. /r/gunpla Secret Santa posts are exempt from this rule.
Please title or frame your posts in a manner to encourage meaningful and healthy discussions with the community. Posts that serve to instigate a spam trend which disrupts the daily interaction of this subreddit, or post titles which include social media handles (Twitter/Instagram/etc) will be subject to removal.
The following are not on topic for the subreddit and belong in an another community. Don't try to skirt this rule by having a Gunpla off in the background of your photo when the main focus is on an off-topic item.
Non-mecha such as: Tanks, Planes, DBZ, Star Wars, Frame Arms Girls / Megami Device / other non-bandai "armored girl" kits.
Or non model kits such as: Action Figures, Dolls, Cosplay, Statues, LEGO
No hateful content. Political arguments in threads, especially Nazi apologism, is explicitly forbidden (including on "historical accuracy"). The use of swastika or other hate symbol decals are also forbidden.

Sadly I screwed up the left hand, it’s loose around the shoulder joint. Otherwise this would be so good. 🥲

This kit is too big but worthy to be the centerpiece.

First build. RX-78-2 v2
Almost finished my first build! Just waiting for some decals to arrive. Totally get the appeal now. Starting with RG's of 1:1 Gundam that I've visited so next up will be the RG RX-93ff and Unicorn 🙂

Starting to love these MG Zaku 2.0
While waiting for Chars decals I start working on the next zaku. Despite there age, the build is so good and you can make very great poses with them.

Getting into this hobby for a year already.
Start from rg gundam, and WFM hg. For newbies I recommend to start from WFM hg. They are fantastic. Only ultraman, 30mm and the GM dissapoint me. Their connectors and joints are really weak. They are easy to pop off and weight down by gravity.
