Got a question? Need help? Questions should go in the official Q&A thread stickied at the top of the subreddit!

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

This year's Christmas tree
Took a while to finish FM Aerial as I was waiting for the top coat to arrive. The Kosmos LED was very easy to install. Overall, this was a fun and easy build.

Huge shoutout to u/L-Cell for the Secret Santa drop! I have been looking everywhere for the GP01 RG, so thank you very much for the amazing present and delicious cookies! My wife has claimed them all.

Practicing panel lining
Doesn’t look too great but that will just come with practice. It does add a lot more depth to the Gunpla

Thank you u/Grifzor64 for the Operation Meteor!
Might have already had the wing gundam for a while now, but now I get an excuse to display it in bird mode as well, so thank you so much for what you got me!

The leg joint of my RG rx-78 2.0 snapped off and I can't even fix it because the only hole in the leg compartment is the one for the joint
The only way I'll be able to "fix" it (at least to my knowledge) is if a 3rd party company makes a metal upgrade years down the line, I really don't wanna try to get it out because im afraid I'll damage the leg compartment but for now I'll let it stay like this
