I have a model show this coming weekend and all my current projects are wrapped up. I did a couple snap builds and it feels nice to work on something simple. I'll probably work on another simple build, or maybe build a Lego set before I head out of town.
@Akaru88 I got a HGUC GM Type C, which I'm modding into a GM Early Type. It's a simple job with just using putty to fill out details. Also experimenting with holographic tape for visors.
It'll be part of a diorama that I'm planning with a friend.
@Akaru88 I've barely started with the GM, but here's the basic mock up of the diorama with a GM Command as a placeholder.
All the parts of the diorama came from the 100 Yen shop, Daiso. It's made of Connectable Display Base × 2, Extension 01, Extension 02, Option 04 [Arm], Extension 03 × 2 (launch catapult). All in all, it cost me about the price of a cheap HG.
I'm waiting for the Daiso shops near me to start carrying the expansion sets for the display base. I love the modular nature, and the price can't be beat, even with inflated western pricing.

@wirelesswire They sell out too fast. I went back a week after to get another expansion wall, but they were all gone.
My current rule is to get it instead of regret it.
