Anyone into Gundam (or Gunpla)

That is very neat. I have plans to build a desk into my hobhy alcove, I just can't decide on shelving and monitor riser vs. wall mount (or both to give another shelf.

If space is at a premium definitely go for a wall mount for your monitor. Preferably on an arm so you can move it out of the way if needed.

Finally got a reasonable pre-order in for the two Requiem for Vengeance kits. The prices kept going up on Ali and trying to navigate Buyee gave me a headache (and couldn't find affordable ones vis there). That was the last of Christmas pressies taken care of :cry:.

I hold you totally responsible for my irresponsibleness (FOMO). Think I pre-ordered both just an hour after your post :D

Not guilty m'lud, well maybe slightly yer honour :p . My order is due with RM in the next few hours.

I've not done any other kits yet, as I broke my painters bloke with the Heroquest Abominations that have sat on my desk for months semi painted. Got the skin to a more acceptable point and got hit with the lurgy.

Spent all week with nurgling nose and then Thursday night developed a dry cough that gets worse when I want to sleep. Hopefully getting over it so I can crack on and also spend some quality time with my son without putting him at risk.

Great hobby desk setup btw.

Edit: Thanks for those links, be much easier sticking that up on the monitor. I can read that over the top of the magnifier headset without my glasses.

If you want any others just go to this page and enter the barcode in the top box : https://manual.bandai-hobby.net/

That will give you the link with the PDF number. But you can't download from that link.

So just change those previous links with the pdf number that you want and you will be able to download them. You can also try searching using the release date of the kit if you don't have the barcode.

Fantastic, thanks :) .
 
Sooooooo....another one to add to my pile of shame. Ordered it in December from Aliexpress for £81 total. It's a beast. Box and weight are the same as my PG Unleashed !!

I used to watch this guy a lot, does some amazing custom work on various kits.

He doesn't seem to post much nowadays unfortunately.
 
I've recently gotten in to these, I've liked the models for ages but never dared dipped my toe in. Not actually made one yet, but I've somehow amazed a small army and could probably now take over the Isle of Wight.

Makes me feel better about my pile lol :D

I got a few from Aliexpress which will be my practice kits.
 
Your pile is lot more hardcore than mine! :cry: That RX-93 PGU looks like it'll be massive and expensive, I can't wait to not be able to get hold of it.

You'll have to post how those two Netflix kits go that you have, they're quite cool so looking forward to get round to them myself.
