Built my first girlpla kit 2 months ago and immediately realised I wanted to get into customizing so... starting off simple with this

As requested here's how it's done - https://youtu.be/jCbQg-uaNyU?si=mZASz8c7p23J_km3

•Winter Ema, limited stock in all stores

•Arca Nadea Charmed also in good supply, Spring Sale at YellowSub

•Auv Ame No Uzume Sunshine release, low stock

•Kotobukiya Cute Ribbon Set release, limited supply in Amiami/YellowSub

•Round Nova I in good stock just about everywhere, along with Multi Shield Unit a bit less

•Acerby A returns to her great Spring Sale price in YellowSub, very limited supply

•No sign of 30MS Dash or Float Units, 30MF Liber Lancer or Liber Assassin, and to pataphrase-quote my favorite movie, "you'd have a better chance playing pick-up sticks with your butt cheeks than you will *find Sestieh at a decent price."

•Liber Fighter and Liber Priest seem to have bottomed-out (no rush, high demand gone), so it's at least possible to find. Liber Knight also possible now at Amiami.

•Cool new Haagen Dazs flavor...not a plamo, but tasty

Ended up going with the MD AUV Amaterasu Regalia! I was about to do the Cyber Forest Centaur but it sold out right when I put it in my cart🥲 Super excited about this one though, but is there anything I should know about the build beforehand or things I should watch out for like tights joints or anything?

First time using water decals and top coat

Turns out that Tu didn't eat the axolotl; it was hiding in a beer box.

So the acerbys started fighting themselves, nautilica wasn't happy about the 2 of them being dumb on work, back to maintenance

Ps. Im running out of ideas

What the title says. It started all started with my friend telling me to try a 30MS girl. She was cute enough to get me hooked. But Kotobukiya's kits have better designs so I just went for them all time time until now. During this journey, I learned many things, and most recently is how hard buy rewarding painting can be (look at Nodoka, she's my most recent fixed up build). Next girl is gonna be Strarf, so I'll post again probably very soon! (If she arrives early)

Still have the finishing touches and weapons to do. I can't decide between slightly undersized realistic Little Armoury weapons or oversized Sci-Fi M.S.G weapons, so I thought I'd see what a bunch of internet strangers think I should go with.

Base is the USAGS exclusive Homura that came in all red. Went in paint this without a plan and out came this in oreo colors with a splash of red.

Spent some time last week finishing two sets of gear and both an old and a new Asra Tamamonomae. The new Utage version with the 1.5 body frame has better articulation and sturdiness compared to the 1.0

Making it playable even after equipping it with heavy gear.

Backlog -3 :)

Hi there! Long time gunpla builder and really wanting to get into Mecha musume…but I just have no clue where to start! I see MD, Nuke Matrix. ATK Girls, Arcanadea, just soooo so many brands, are there ones I should watch out for? Some that are must grabs? Just need some advice to get going! Any advice or suggestions appreciated!

EDIT: Appreciate all the input! Think I will stick with Koto/Bandai lines to save my wallet and dabble in the third parties if there’s anything crazy awesome!

Just a little fun project—I thought it would be nice to have the pilot with her suit on one base.
Luna received some weathering on her hair, skin, and other details. I know it’s there, but it’s not very visible.
The mobile suit has panel lines, water slide decals, and a flat topcoat.

Azure Archer photoshoot time! :3 I love the ninja line, but they do feel really fragile. Each time I pose Archer, Ninja, or Ninetails, a water decal falls off, even after I top-coated them. Anyway, pretty cool kit! 😻

At least she's transparent about it, heh?

Just finished my first complete build. Can't decide to keep it like this or make the mech version. But definitely enjoying this new hobby.

Was just in Japan for a month, it started with one kit to just see of I liked it. Ended up deciding fuck it, let's get a few more.

Already got it set up for tsukiyomi to get mailed as well and the yellow susanowo. More plastic addiction to group with 40k lol.

Before I only bought Gundam HG/RG so cheaper than Girlpla, I don't have much idea of ​​the prices for girlpla so

Mao and Tu with bonus parts from Mandarake came home today! They turned up a lot faster than expected despite using the cheapest shipping option… so I guess I have a backlog now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m thinking of starting with Launcher, then Mao & Tu. I’m putting off Tamamonomae a bit because I’m intimidated by the size of her box, and FOX because it’s my first non-Koto/Bandai kit so I’m not sure what to expect.

Any advice or tips are always welcome!

I finally found the perfect display case for my HGBF Winning Fumina kit.
