I have stockpiled on MGs yet HGUCs tend to get used up(as in, actually built and painted) rather quickly. I guess it's because they are easier to mod and I have a thing for small, intricate stuff! So, any capable modellers out there on RJ, Don't forget that HGUC can be neat too! Photos are a bit blurry as I use make-shift equipment and can't be bothered doing any PS. Rx-121 Hazel Hazel Support Craft Hrududu 1+2 Combine! Gelgoog Jager Type - The mono-eye I modded into clear part + moveable, but I guess because of the lighting it is not always visible. Completed: This is what it originally looked like.... And lastly, non-HGUC related, BB Senshi Zaku brothers set no.2 Konzaku (Zaku2) Next to it is the as yet un-modded/painted, Konzaku's big brother Kozaku (Zaku I) And to celebrate 100th MG being Turn A Gundam, I'm currently working on BB Turn A. Hopefully I can finish it before the MG release.

THe HGUC 1/144 kits are affordable and fun to build. I recently just finished building a Hazel Custom over the weekend. Yes it took all weekend. I would like to have skills like PotChip and be able to paint them but I got very shakey hands and these small parts are just to hard to paint. SO I ended up just doing some minor panel lines, and apply all the stickers. Here is a Bad lighting Pic that I took so that I can hide most of the my flaws. I spent a lot of time carefully cutting the parts off the sprews, but no matter how careful I am, the sprew marks are always gonna be there. At the beginning, I was filing the parts with ultra fine sand paper but that still leave scratch marks. I know that only way to get rid of both is to paint the parts, but that is just too much work and time spent on one little figure. I like adding the details but I don't have the patients to do it. Instead, I purchase a couple of other HGUC to build. That where the fun is anyway. Here is another quick picture: I should't even post these pictures because they are terrible.

you have to use putty, sand, then paint. The only good HGUC kits are the newer ones.
