In 2019 and 2020, I built a number of model kits without finishing my writeups on them, and without doing any photo shoots. I got a whole bunch of new kits for the holidays, and one of my short term New’s Years resolutions was to go back and revisit these older kits before building anything new. I decided to tackle them in the order I built them. Here then is my followup on the High Grade GM Sniper II, which I built back in late March of 2020.
Of all the model kits I built in early 2020, the GM Sniper II was the one I looked forward to the most. And yet, I didn’t write anything about it. Not a single post. I had build photos. I wrote drafts (which I then somehow lost?) But I never published anything about the kit.
The reason was simple - I built too many kits too quickly, and I got burnt out. Even during the build of the GM Sniper II, I wanted to have nothing to do with model kits for while. I largely built it because it was the last Gunpla on my stack, and I wanted to knock them all out before taking a “building break”.
Also, the pandemic kind of happened. Model kits were the last thing on my mind during the spring and summer.
What this means is that I had to write two build posts in December, about a build I did all the way back in March, and then backdate both of them. It was not easy to look at old photos and try to figure out what I was trying to convey, nor was it easy to try and remember how specific parts of the build went. Lesson learned on my part - either write build posts right away, or don’t write them at all.
Let’s move on to the photos and poses.
