So I finished this model a few weeks ago. Struggled with the airbrushing and wasn’t fond of the result. After a while I came around on it. Still idk why my black gloss coat got so bumpy but meh, gotta go practice some more on spoons.

Recently I posted this on r/Gunpla over on reddit only for the post to get removed by the mods. They always let mech plamo in before. I asked for clarification and the mod swears the this isn’t a mech. Anyone have any thoughts on that. I’m pretty sure it meets the def of mech. Noun; Large piloted combat robot.

That’s awesome to hear! So far I’ve been liking this community much more than the r/Gunpla. Much more understanding imo.

As far as the distinction between mech and vehicle I 100% agree with your point on intent. Either way I normally wouldn’t care; it’s plastic sci-fi models, but I didn’t like how confident the mod team was about this kit NOT being a mech. Like if they were like “hey this is debatably mech so we’re removing it” I’d not complain. Meh, there I go with showing my pedantry. Lol
