EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Some close up on the shield of the RX 78-2. That's one of the few models I have fully assembled, water decals and coated in matt varnish. Overall I am really happy with the results and I think the shield really shows all that work. #gunpla

Showing the Hype Bazooka that comes with the Master Grade RX 78-2. The little rockets in the magazine is one of the first things I painted using Gundam Paint Pens. It’s not much but I am pretty happy with the result #gunpla

Showing the size difference between the 1/144 (front) and 1/100 (back) scales using my Real Grade and Master Grade RX 78-2. This is giving a strong big brother / little brother vibe. Some day, I may be able to create a new picture adding the 1/60 Perfect Grade as well. #gunpla

Some action poses of the RG 1/144 Sazabi in the air. He is a beefy boy and I think my little stand was working double time. I am also trying to add some annotations to the cover image. Hopefully it will help people to identify the model. #gunpla #gundam

Mistakes happen, and that's all part of the learning process. My 1/144 RG Sazabi is the first model I've tried coating with matte varnish to protect the decals. Up close, especially on the backpack, you can see it's a spotty. But hey, it's all about improving! #gunpla

An action pose of the RG Sazabi. Despite the massively chunky legs, he is surprisingly flexible. #gundamphotography #gunplaphotography #gundamstragram #gunplabuilder #plamodel #gunpla #gundam #gundammodelkit #gunplamodel #gundambuilder #plamobuilder #gundam_ig #plamo #gundamcommunity #mobilesuit

I was a bit sceptical about the all-gold water decals for my Real Grade Sazabi, worried it might lack variety. But in the end, it looks absolutely stunning! Hope you enjoy these close-up shots. #gunpla #gundam

I'm super excited to share some pictures of my RG Sazabi with you all! This build was an absolute blast and definitely one of my favorite Real Grade experiences. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about trying it out! The model looks amazing, and it's one of the first ones I've varnished.

Yesterday I eluded to some problem when building the Zeta gundam. I lost a piece… And because I am a savage, I used plastic cement to glue runner pieces together and then painfully sculpted the piece over 2 days.

After a few incidents (more on that later) I have finished the MG Zeta Ver.Ka. I'll come back to it for the water decals. The colour separation is out of this world. It looks absolutely sick. But the build itself, and handling it for posing, does feel on the more finnicky side of things.

I am calling this a mitigated success. From afar I really love how the Gunpla looks less “plasticky”. On close inspection you can see it’s a bit speckled (last image). I suspect I should have used more coating.
