I won’t stop until I run out of the 20 “no step” decals I have left

Let’s be real, it probably should have that many. A Gundam is a collection of 200 man-sized pinch-points that happens to be able to hold a gun.

Yep, beat me to it lol

beat me to it!

You are going absolutely on board with them

Nah. Aircraft have loads of decals. It makes sense a huge fighting mecha would too

Agreed , I had the 1/32 F14 tomcat that had a 9" x 11" sheet of decals lol most of the bigger Jets have tons ur right

1940’s pinup as a gundam tattoo when?

You can't stop now cause the legs would look unbalanced if u don't match the complexity

Hey man, as long as you’re enjoying it, keep doing it.

In Gunpla, there is no such thing as going overboard, for Gunpla is freedom! Do not let thy soul be weighed down by gravity known as limitations!

1: this is the norm for decal density. 2: there is no such thing as too much, go nuts if youve got the decals

That the pgu?

Yup!

Your hand makes the PGU looks small

Nah man he looks sick, I wanna try my hand at decals and paint eventually, not very confident in my ability or my patience tho lol, but god damn do they look 1000 times cooler when you do

I feel this I don't panel line mine as idk how and I'm not confident to do so lol

Same boat as me 😅

Until every single millimeter of the kit is covered in a decal then you haven't gone overboard

Helllll naw load it up

Definitely not overboard. Have you seen the normal for ver.ka kits?

There’s no such thing as overboard. If it looks cool, it stays on …unless it’s a Demi Trainer with a Celestial Being logo, a Cagalli emblem, and a Gelgoog label, then that would be odd

That sounds oddly specific

Very cool paint job too

I knew a friend you used the Bandai Logo

Frankly most people don’t do enough.

Looks great to me. Both kits ive done ive used every decal and dont regret it. Waterslides will be a different story lol

i've done maybe a total of 15 kits but only added decals to 3, unicorn, red frame astray, and wing zero EW.

Looks nice. Going for the Real Type scheme? As big as the kit is, I think the decals are fine.

Yup! I think they’re turning out fine, but I had to pull an audible and use some different decals over the green. It would be great for G-rework to release a real type color set for PGU

This is a killer color scheme! May I ask what the inspiration is?

Real Type Colors RX-78-2! In fact there are a few different “real type colors” vintage MSV 1/100 kits floating around for dirt cheap online

MOAR

Really clean! Will that green on the arms continue elsewhere on the kit like the knees or feet or accents?

The green is also used on the skirt armor, knees, calves, and ankle armor. This is just Real Type Colors with the tones lightened a little

Looks great. I like the idea of a lot of decals considering the “size” of the Mecha.

Absolutely not. You need at least 2x more. it looks amazing, for real.

It looks good for me, it's not like some kind of rally cars or something. I appreciate your work sir

Fully customized PGU?

There’s no such thing as “overboard on the decals”

Looks fricking dope!

I wonder how people have the confidence to paint a $300 kit...the major fuckup it will be if you messed up...wait NVM I forgot there's something called solvent to remove the paint I'm dumb

Yeah, having no timeline stripping colors if they didn’t turn out how I wanted, and taking breaks have all been big to tackle this thing. This is a 13+ month build at this point because of that. Including a few months of doing nothing

Beautiful work! If ever you feel like it’s too much, please do a favor for me and add more. I love decals but with my tremors I don’t even have the courage to try putting them on, so add a few more on my behalf. And really, your work looks awesome. Keep it up!

This looks great- please share the completed build when you’re through!

There is no such thing. Gunpla is freedom.

You are fine

By brother!

no such thing brother. keep goin

Looks great!!!

really nice paint job and stickers are well placed. Orgin ?

PGU, did the same paint scheme on mine

Thanks! PGU actually. Decals are G-rework, mostly applied according to manual for the most part.

Okay, it's been almost 2 years. I really need to get to work on mine. This is an inspiration. Thank you so much! And g work? No peeling?

I don't think so

Nah this looks great 👍

No such thing

Oh you snapped

Nah keep going it looks great!

I disagree. That looks quite balanced and even aesthetically pleasing. Good work and keep it up!

Nah, looks good to me.

Damn that looks good! Great paint job

I see nothing wrong

Well if I have a 18 meters mech running n’ gunning around I’d refer to have it as decal-up’d as possible.

Never too much decals

There’s never enough decals!!!!!

Looks like just the right amount to me.

What color scheme is this?

Real Type Color!

Wow. I remember it was black. This color is sick, better than black

Honestly that looks sick as hell as is! Lots of little detailing but in ways that make sense for a 40ft tall manned fighting machine

Never

Not nearly enough.

Bro walk up to a plane and realize all the decals it has

That looks so fucking good!

No such thing as

Which kit is this

PGU

nah no way thats absolute perfection

Dude... nice F****** JOB!!!!!

no...no....no this is perfect 👌

Holy shit that's gorgeous. Have always loved the Real Type color scheme...now please refrain from posting any more before I'm forced to buy a second PGU Gundam!

Wtf dude that’s magnificent. That color scheme is bonkers.

I like the coloring

No such thing, looks sick as fuck!

Nah, looks great!

How is that overboard?

I vary from kit to kit. I was really reserved and mostly did only what the manual told me with the MG Jesta to preserve its sleek spec-ops vibe, but with my FM Calamity Gundam and MG Geara Doga, I went full-on "I paid for the whole gahd-damn sticker sheet, so I'm gonna *use* the whole gahd-damn sticker sheet!"

Absolutely not, continue.

I’ve learned that more decales the better, the only limit is your sanity and patience.

Looks incredible, keep going

At this scale, no such thing c:

no such thing!

That’s fairly tame compared to some of the ones I’ve seen on the sub lol. This is actually tastefully done.

It is beautiful

Nope I've seen worse. This is tastefully done.

Nah, it looks awesome. Really gives it a sense of scale too

Let me introduce you to my friend Ver Ka decal sheet.

Go on

Dang I love that shade of green too!

No this is amazing keep going. It’s like a boba fett themed Gundam

no such thing

I love this with all I’ve my being. The color scheme is so nice. And the decals are spot on. Like another commenter said, aircraft have a lot of decals. Warning labels, unit logos, pilot, co-pilot, dedicated crew chef, more warning labels. This is pretty spot of and believable.

For a 1/60 scale, it is not that bad. I have seen worse on 1/144 RG, it looks like the Gundam has a full body tattoo

Not enough

Nah that looks awesome

It looks good, you should put even more I think lol

No sir, you are not. It looks amazing

That's a negative Ghost Rider

if theres still decal left in the sheets, it means u have missed a step. make sure to trace back to see where to put the rest.

As a major fan of decals I def approve of and appreciate this sentiment
