KP-001, Guel Jeturk, Dilanza launching
Another build done, this time the courtesy of my gf who predicted me growing to like Bob, and got me the Dilanza at a point while I still thought he was just an asshole 馃槀 But he turned out to be one of my favourites, and similarly, the Dilanza might be my favourite build so far! It's shockingly well articulated and so freaking *dense*
I had so much fun working on this and I'm so pleased with how it turned out. I daresay the panel lining is my best work yet!
Next up, Chuchu's Demi Trainer!

Oh no, Too Much Gundam
Sooo, this is going to be the start of a bit of a journey into one specific Gunpla line, that being the HG Witch from Mercury line. What can I say, it's a good series with a ton of interesting, varied MS designs. I do need to note Bandai's cowardice and censorship when it comes to this series post show, probably explains why they only gave the show 25 episodes. Why let the creators make something so gay when you fear how it may affect the perception of your company, I don't know. However, the show itself is good and the censorship is easily ignored when compared to the literal text of the show. Now, with that out of the way...
This will act as a catalogue of the kits I have picked up, mostly through the mail, to help decide which kits I do a text based review of. I don't have the full line, and I may get a few more (Mainly the Schwartzette), but I now have a decent amount. We will do this in purchase order, starting with the ones currently in my house, the ones that are coming, and the ones on pre order. Let's go
Gundam Aerial
This is the headliner of the line, the main Gundam of the show, and probably the most cost effective kit of the line. It is a great starting point not just for this line, but for Gunpla in general. It is currently in my house.
2. Michaelis
The witch hunter itself, piloted by a hated character which, therefore, made it not sell well. However, it does work pretty well. It has a very different aesthetic from the main Gundam of the series, feeling regal and knightly. The stickers in the arm cannon are annoying, but the arm cannon is pretty badass. Definitely worth more than his character may make it seem. It is complete and in my house.
3. Darilbalde
I needed a Guel suit in my life, and this is his peak, so... It is a pretty cool suit, I especially love his beetle themed head as a Kamen Rider fan. It also is probably the most powerful Non Gundam suit, with it having the Gundam style drones. Plus the big shields help this thinner suit still have that Jeturk signature bulk. I haven't built it, but it is in my house.
4. Gundam Aerial Rebuild
It's the Gundam Aerial with a big gun and a big jetpack. It feels important, as it is how the Aerial looks for half of the series, so it is nice to have in the collection. Unbuilt but in the house.
5. Gundam Lfrith
The first kit of the line from the iconic WFM Prologue. It's essentially a pink Aerial, even though it is a completely unique build. As a fan of the show, and especially that prologue, it felt necessary to pick up the kit. It is on the way.
6. Demi Trainer
The cheapest kit of the line, just a cute little army builder guy. I love it's dome head and absurdly tiny blaster. It'll be a nice kit to fill out the ranks, I guess. It is on the way.
7. Gundam Lfrith Ur
One of the two Earth Gundam Sisters, and my personal favorite. I love it's rectangular shape, something unique for this series, but more reminiscent of classic Gundams. I love a good heavy machinery MS, and this gives us a Gundam like that. It's on it's way. However, you really can't have one without the other, especially at HG prices, so...
8. Gundam Lfrith Thorn
The Big Chicken, blaster child. I don't like this one as much, it's just a bit too awkwardly proportioned. The Brown does fit oddly well with the blue of the Ur, so they will look good together, but hey. It's another good kit. It is on the way.
9. Demi Barding
Chuchu's final form, a mobile suit that will fill the Chuchu void in my heart, even with it's low show time. It does have some interesting gimmicks, like it's backpack, so even with the plain looks of the Demi series of suits, it should have some good shelf presence. It is on the way.
10. Gundam Pharact
Elan Ceres's Gundam, and one that looks completely different. It isn't my favorite look in the series, but it is important to try to get a bunch of the major character's suits as well as one suit from each company. It is pre ordered.
11. Gundam Calibarn
The final suit of the line, one which is able to use the power of gay love to save the world. Perfect ending. Anyways, it's white and rainbow aesthetic is amazing, and I love it's broom cannon. That paired with it's plot significance made it a must have, to me at least. It is pre ordered, but on it's way.
So, anyways, that is my nearly complete G Witch collection. I don't intend to collect the full line, but it is the Gundam series I've collected the most of. Yes, even more than all of the UC. I've checked. I have a deep connection to this show, and I'm glad to have a little collection from it. Hopefully, I can do a few nice reviews here of them

Chuchu's Demi Trainer!
This was such a fun build, I loved the more classic design done with more modern construction. And it panel lined like an absolute dream. I'm super pleased with this one

The gunpla haul:
I bought the Beguir-Beu when I was out in town, then ordered a bunch of others from Japan
Meanwhile, I had yet to finish watching G-Witch - Guel was still an asshole, and though I made my little spreadsheet, his Dilanza was firmly in the 'do not want' category - but as I was telling my gf about what I do and don't want, they picked up on my slowly forming soft spot for Guel - 'oh, you know, but he might get redemption'
I finished the show, ordered all my gunpla from Japan, went to visit my gf. Then I'm like 'yeah, so I actually love Guel now, I really want the Dilanza. Idk how my gf kept a straight face, cause it turns out they bought it for me, days before even *I* knew I'd end up wanting it 馃槀
So I had the Beguir and Dilanza, and the others all arrived in a big box. Current status, of the above:
Completed:
EG RX-78-2
In Progress:
HG Beguir-Beu
Awaiting Construction:
HG Lfrith
HG Aerial
HG Guel's Dilanza
HG Chu Chu's Demi Trainer
HG Demi Trainer
HG Michaelis
Can't wait to dig in!

Deploy Beguir-Beu
Another gunpla completed! Technically my first - this is the first one I bought, and the first I started... I just ended up accidentally completing the RX-78-2 in a day, when it was meant to just be a warmup to get back to things--
ANYWAYS, this was so fucking fun. It's such a cool design. And an absolute bastard of a mobile suit. I love villains especially if they've got style, and Beguir's got it in heaps
Next up, Guel's Dilanza, courtesy of my gf!

My first Gunpla build: COMPLETED
RX-78-2, EG, 1/144
Actually, my first gunpla was a HG Beguir-Beu but that's only half done - meanwhile this (and a bunch of others) has arrived, and I felt the itch - I picked it up, blacked out, and knocked it out in 4 and a half hours 馃槀 very simple, very fun, great practice for panel lining! And a fantastic warmup for my g-witch builds :3
