First wip after ban and things to change

Hey Gunpla fam! 👋 So, as I mentioned, I'm shaking things up a bit this year, and I wanted to dive a little deeper into why and what you can expect. My original post was just a quick heads-up, but there's so much more to it, especially for anyone curious about branching out in the hobby. One of the biggest changes for me is focusing more on 1/100 scale models and venturing into non-Bandai kits. For years, like many of you, I stuck pretty close to what I knew. But the Gunpla community is so much broader than just one brand, and there's a whole world of incredible designs and engineering out there waiting to be discovered. Taking on this Virtual-On kit is a personal challenge and an exciting dive into something new. I'm already loving the unique details, like the intricate red detailing on its black armor that you might have spotted in my WIP photos. It's a different kind of build experience, often requiring more patience and sometimes different tools, but the payoff is incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking about trying a non-Bandai kit, here's a little tip: research is key! Look up reviews, check out build videos, and see what other builders in the #gunplacommunity are saying. Some kits might need extra attention to fit or require more sanding, but that's part of the fun of expanding your skills. I've found that having a well-organized workbench makes a huge difference, especially when you have lots of model parts drying on sticks like I do right now! Another thing I'm really excited about is bringing you more behind-the-scenes content on Twitch and YouTube. I want to share the entire process, from the initial unboxing of a new kit, seeing the gray robot inner frame, to the final touches. It's a great way for us to connect, ask questions, and learn from each other. I'm hoping to show you how I approach challenges, like getting those perfect panel lines or achieving that crisp paint job on complex parts. For anyone who loves staying on top of the latest #gunplacommunity trends and builds, joining live streams or checking out build logs is fantastic. It's inspiring to see everyone's creativity and how different people tackle the same kits – or even entirely different ones like my current Virtual-On project. Don't be shy to share your own WIPs too! That's how we all grow and discover new aspects of this amazing hobby. Whether you're working on a classic HG or an obscure resin kit, every build has a story. This journey into more 1/100 non-Bandai kits is just beginning, and I hope you'll stick around for the ride!
