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.

He's my 3rd build ever and one of my favorite two gundams. Still wanna get ahold of a Heavy Arms Custom but til then I'm happy with this.
I’ve been wanting to get back into the hobby after a few years. I’m looking for a master grade kit that’s fairly challenging to build, has a great amount of detail, and is around the 100$ budget. Ive seen the Zeta ver. Ka and I’ve heard great things about it but I just want to see any other options. Any other recommendations?
Sometimes I get lazy on busting out the air compressor and air brush. Current kit on working on is the gself perfect pack
Lol at the name but not bad for $8 from Temu, never had a bootleg before but everything fit together perfectly no sanding or anything was required
(Yes I broke the arm)
Need to finish the full armour parts still but very happy with this. Really enjoyed this building this as it was the first kit I picked up during a visit to gundam base
Shelf for my boxes and a workbench light for projects. Now I just have to organize the rest of the bench.
Kind of having a hard time finding/deciding what to do next. What do you think??
Mg ver ka zz is better in my opinion but both are amazing kits
