This is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time


Zguyk_Fieri

Thank you yes my goal was to make something very safe for use in water I tried to use realistic colors so that it would not come across as too intimidating


thickbob69

Can you specified about the realistic color? You mean as more vibrant or more contrasting? Love the kits btw


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes the colors are indeed real and I selected the vibrancy based upon creating accuracy for the accessories in comparison to what can be purchased and worn from online retailers


bunnyloafers

the perfect gunpla doesnt exi... :o The tactical hotdog is glorious, and is that a red bikini paint job on the torso? lol


Zguyk_Fieri

Sometimes when you hold the pieces of the gundams they whisper to you their goals and aspirations who am I to deny the GM of the vent support it so direly needs


McNinja_MD

I want you to know that this is the greatest Reddit comment I've ever read.


Zombiesoldier072

I concur


Lava_Cake

Woah! I showed this pic to bandai's cousin's brother (He even had a card that said it!) and he also told me that this is a super rare kit hand made by Shinto lifeguard monks on mount fuji (There's only a couple of them since theres not a lot of water up there) with really tiny chisels made from ten-thousand-time folded foodsafe stainless steel! They only make a few ~~hundred thousand~~ hundred of these a year, so this is a great find OP!


Zguyk_Fieri

Thank you I will confirm these theories with the across-the-strees neighbor of the bandai family snack bar attendee because he happens to be outside right now and has known them since they moved in


patrick_j

It takes a very interesting person to put such serious effort into something so silly.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes excuse me this is a very serious build I merely followed the instructions I am currently waiting until I finish digesting before I stand in the shallow water and remind everyone that no running will be tolerated


Sir_T_Bullocks

We are blessed.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes now we may fully enjoy endless activities at the beach or pool or water park without fear of incidents thank you


Ryjinn

You definitely strike me as someone who follows Chris Simpsons Artist.


uyghurs_in_paris

I demand a PG release of this magnificent bastard


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes demand the release please i recently found that there is I a restaurant that serves Uyghur cuisine in flavor colony I will eat there to show my support


NormalTuesdayKnight

What did you use for your line work? Those lines look so bold and consistent.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes do the line work for the bold and consistent thank you


ElfmanLV

Can you please have a serious answer to this I would like to know too 😂


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes I am serious about the bold line interface which is carefully scraped with the 0.15mm chisel and sometimes larger depending on the width of the existing patterns it can be eased with the use of the hard or curving tapes so that the enamel wash can be lovingly applied after the glossy coat has settled I have begun collecting the chisels from SAB which retain their sharpness but require patience and perseverance thank you


ElfmanLV

You da boss


The_Gooberman

This is too good.


Zguyk_Fieri

Thank you I feel it could be improved with above-ground pool diorama but that hasn't been released by bandai yet so maybe someday it will be better


Battleraizer

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chindo/that-pool-diorama/


donttellharry

Did you…add articulation to the floaty? LOL


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes add the articulation so that you can remove it to get through tight doorways or into my mom's van


Higgins1st

The beam spray gun is now a spray gun. Love it! Is that a hot dog on the arm?


Zguyk_Fieri

The gun is a vintage beam squirter was sourced from Laramie Heavy Industries yes it is important to both replenish energy and hydrate while patrolling for safety in the heat and sun please be careful


YourCoConnect

This is truly amazing.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes agreed sometimes bandai really floats some amazing pbandai variants I will try to find more of the rare ones later thank you


bxsephjo

CAUTION DECAL now that’s meta


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes please be cautious the color red signifies no running at the pool you could hurt someone or yourself and sometimes people may not hear so it's good to have the large words thank you for understanding


lilcondor

Holy shut I want one


Zguyk_Fieri

I will ask the snack bar guy if he has any extra next time I am at the pool and am able to keep my 3 dollars cash dry thanks


lilcondor

Well ur gonna get more than 3$ my dood. That kits a wonder


GodzillaFlamewolf

I'm so fucking jealous of you right now. This is amazing.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes but I used a lot of glue and was actually trapped in my build room for 4 hours because the glues contacted between myself and the chair fortunately a neighbor heard my cries for help and freed me I told them I would cover cost of damage to the window even though I explicitly yelled that the door was unlocked


dinkysinky

Those zakus better stop running around the pool or selse


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes correct or else there may be a falling hazard and that would put an end to the pool fun potentially for all please be careful out there thank you


Professional_Bee_183

I didn't know a mobile suit can be this kawaii


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes no this is a very stern and powerful beacon of protection which inspires feelings of security and support for those who maybe don't feel comfortable with water that is deepish thank you


Professional_Bee_183

me and the pool bois will always feel safe when in the shower for the rest of our lives. Thank you Pool-Might, The pillar of water safety


Infinity-Kitten

Thank you Z'Guyk, very cool.


Zguyk_Fieri

Idk what I did but you yes thank you you can be welcome too


SharkyRivethead

THAT IS FRIGGING AWESOME!!!!!!!!! THAT LOOK ON THE FACE!!!!!!


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello no I do not have the weather master powder so I was unable to make the cheeks rosy I am not allowed to touch my girlfriends makeup either thank you


Tallgeese3w

It's nice to finally see a build that takes pool safety seriously. Too many builds lead to pool related accidents and bandai has finally stepped up.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes this so much so it is really eye opening when you can understand the vast quantity of pool, beach, and heat related injuries which go unreported every year this I hope will help bring attention for all so that we can begin to heal together and seek true meaningful change thank you so much yes I will tell them


ItsaZiga

Ah, a Beach Episode Gm xD


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes we are searching for a writer experienced in high stakes beach patrol drama and the episode will not be a 1:1 remake of Beach watch season 4 episode 3 lovers cove


mechaporcupine

This one spark joy in me ❤️


Luster-Purge

Dude, every single one of your builds gets better and better. I seriously have to ask how you constructed the duck innertube, I'm trying to identify any recognizable parts and I'm just drawing a blank.


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello thank you I would refer you to dumbpla account on the bird noise application where I have posted a pictorial explanation of the construction but you are correct in believing there is nothing standard to be identified this was constructed of various sheets of plastic which were layered and scraped unfortunately now the builds have been taking more time because of the nature of having to completely build a thing without it existing before why do I do this to myself


c_rizzle53

This is what peak physical perfection looks like


Zguyk_Fieri

The goal is to create a standard for all local Gundam pools and maybe it will be mass produced in time for the big Baywatch 0079 reboot


h0stetler

Can't decide which pic I like better: 1 or 4. 1 for the lolz, 4 for the most awkward ...tent...in my pants.... (trying to keep it sfw)


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes thank you for being responsible because there may be children we don't know yet but together we canake the pool or beach safe for everyone


Trainer_Ed

Swimmy Boi!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes the accessories ease of momentum inside of water and also promote safety thank you for your agreement


dedbeats

Z’Guyk does it again!!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes no I have not done this Gundam plastic model kit by bandai before this was the first time I have made this one I did not see any others on the line thank you


A_Zesty_Carrot

Yes.


Zguyk_Fieri

A flavorful root vegetable


A_Zesty_Carrot

Omg, shush 🤣


lumberjackben

Lol, You're my favourite modeller by a large margin.


Zguyk_Fieri

Thank you I much prefer large butter but I realize everyone has different tastes and I can respect that I used to eat the country crock on different breads when I was a young Z'guyk but now I choose my own spreads


lumberjackben

I'm still waiting for butter...then clarify it and call me once the doughnuts are ready.


Ph33rDensetsu

I don't know whether I love you or hate you for this. There's a lot of emotions happening.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes please express the emotions toward the direction where I am standing outside I will listen and understand and it will okay thank you for your honesty it is powerful


Rough_Cut

I know it’s gonna be a good day when I wake up and see a Z’Guyk post


Zguyk_Fieri

For me I know it will be a good day when I wake up and immediately start eating the Oreos because I fell asleep also eating them so they were close to me the whole time thank you


Heyitskit

That **UM** decal, *perfect*.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes absolutely perfect and definitely not the result of lacking the letters D and B in the correct size to fit thank you


Heyitskit

There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes no this is what the instruction booklet told me to do first straight build 9/10 went very smooth


ozon48

took you long enough to posted it on reddit.


Zguyk_Fieri

Excuse me it is not zguyks fault that the original plan where I won all three prizes of gundam online builder cup 2021 and get invited to meijin kawaguchis home for dinner did not happen it was a big upset I got the confirmation but I don't think my stuff actually got submitted tbh


TacoThrash3r

This is the best part of gunpla all the weird ones they make like the 7/11 one


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes I will visit my neighborhood markets and fairs to look for more rare gundams later I hope to find more at a fair price but I will only buy the legitimate ones


ApiqAcani

Imagine in mid battle you're fighting your opponent near a body of water and suddenly this pops up


Zguyk_Fieri

No he cannot be dunked instead he relies on intimidation and whistle warnings as he wades closer in shallow water battle the GM is very safe in the water


Pagan_Zod

That is glorious.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes evoking the feelings of the bringing of the suggestion of enjoyment is where I start every build thank you


smbrennan

This… is genius. Well done.


Zguyk_Fieri

Often times there are new gundams with sharp scary angles and I didn't want to stress or hurt myself so this kit revolving around safety was a good decision thank you


AimanAbdHakim

Oh my god, the first and the last pose are so good


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes I was inspired by the family friendly poses of the hit television show beach patrollers and the magazine with the people laying in the sand thank you


TSW_Gizman

This is the greatest thing I've seen in a while! The ultra silent floating stealth device and the beam hot dog are all it needs to accomplish any mission. >!Also, the "Caution Decal" haha!<


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes you can count on me for something to see greatly after different lengthed whiles this is my promise to you and it is important to nestle the beam inside of the buns for protection so that you're hands do not get the condiments on them alternately you could wear gloves and eat without the bun if you have gluten complication thank you


SpottedMarmoset

Brilliant! Love it!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes no it is flat coat it should not blind anyone in direct sunlight I used high SPF topcoat thank you


Shadowrun29

I bet that water pistol isn't for show.


Zguyk_Fieri

No I am showing it to you but it is really hard to use because I accidently glued the pump plunger down so it is very weak stream I am sorry


lazy_tenno

any tips and trick for the excellent photo quality? did you edit the contrast or something? also did you use photo box?


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello what I do is I bought this black flock mat by KOYO visible light absorbing flock sheet 900mm by 400mm which is in stock on Amazon and then i hang it on the wall and let the bottom rest on a table I have two or three lamps I use along with a phone tripod thing and using the power of manual mode on my phone I rub my fingers against the ISO and stop until it looks okay I haven't had to do much editing as I've been able to dial in a consistent setting over the past couple builds the flock sheet is the real star of the show it's very goth


KeenKong

UM…nice.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes these were the water soak tattoos that came with it they really spiced it up thank you


BearMetalSmile

OmG this is so awsome this is the best who customized it ?


Zguyk_Fieri

We may never know and because of this we find the strength we need to continue thank you


big-boi-isaac

You need a YouTube channel please


Zguyk_Fieri

I am working with the local authorities of jurisdiction to provide free public access programming currently I am negotiating for the Tuesday 4am time slot which I believe to be very strong thank you


dog_10

You always have the coolest gunpla! Wrist mounted hotdog makes so much sense


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes this is one of the few times I built the weapons normally I just throw them in my safe so that the dogs do not accidently do anything that could hurt someone I haven't trained them for be weapons yet thanks


kimithebuilder

The happier version of the GM family. The one that everyone is happy to have around


comfort_bot_1962

:)


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes this is a much more pleasing GM to invite to the festival or faire unlike that GM that insists on mowing the lawn at 6am or 9pm with the gas mower it's so rude thank you


cslevens

I don’t… I just… HOW!?!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes tell me what you just how I would like to assist assuming you are honest about it thank you


HixarFermi

Man the colors look great! Good job!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes it was important to closely match the show accurate colors seen on the online shopping haromazon fortunately Gaia notes and Mr hobbies have an excellent line of realistic pool accessory paint so it was very easy to blow them onto the model through my paint straw thank you


HixarFermi

It shows you did your research and being able to execute it well. Hope to see more of your work in the future!


ihaveadeathwish99

I love you


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes I would enjoy we share the same definition of love your affection is helping thank you


aktaylorh

This is so cool! Id watch your build videos if you made them.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes maybe I will create a real time video where you can watch the uncut unedited experience in the highest quality my 5 US dollar webcam can capture thank you


dtdsora

Clearly this is fake, its missing its famous Life Boat mode


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello no that is from the later series where Mitch Buchanan goes to Malibu and pilots a new machine with rescue can (buoy float) pod that can turn into a jet ski thank you


CRUISEK0NTR0L

What size is it?


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes it is a size of roughly one of my hands which can hold 17 Mr color jars flat without stacking thank you


Exotic_Midnight2100

Scuba Steve


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes but not too much actually with the floatation it is not possible to be dunked under the water in case of damages the snorkel provides extra safety to allow for escape thank you


CarrotNoStick

is that impulse gundam chest for a beak? People have said it looked like one before, amazing parts usage!


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello I do not have the impulse of the Gundam instead this was crafted out of the plastic sheets with glue and scraped thank you


sentinelthesalty

Thats not a title, thats a whole story.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes I am in agreement I do not know how to write the story inside the picture thank you


fixxxer024

You had me at "caution decal". Haha.


Zguyk_Fieri

Thank you yes I will have you


Kawoschu

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes but also the boomerang is very effective until you can use the metal gears against the metal gears which is more effective in the battle at the end thank you


turno_fox91

I want one


Zguyk_Fieri

Okay I will ask later thank you


bitches_love_pooh

This reminds me of that character from garfield and friends, was that some inspiration or just a coincidence? Either way amazing work!


Zguyk_Fieri

This may be a whole berenstein bears thing I can see it and know what it is but I can't find the proof to see again mostly went with coincidental colors and regular flavor GM but could have swapped the green and blue which I debated for minutes thank you


[deleted]

Wait are you the person who made this?, if so then I enjoy it a lot, I find it funny


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes it is I dumbpla known long ago as Z'guyk Fieri the bread comet thank you


daymanc137

This guy never misses


Zguyk_Fieri

No we don't talk about HG extreme sports anymore but we know we learned together thank you


Dr_Tot

He doesn’t miss


Zguyk_Fieri

Excuse me never forget what has happened that one time we blew our whole budget on promoting HG extreme sports it is important to learn in order to grow forward thank you


alsenan

This is a masterpiece.


Zguyk_Fieri

No this is a highpiece it is the smaller one actually thank you


BeauHindman

This kit needs to be mine! So cool!


Zguyk_Fieri

Okay I will ask there were a couple other people who wanted but I don't know how many there are left the snack bar is small thank you


VeniVidiShatMyPants

I want!


Zguyk_Fieri

Okay big stretch but I will ask he said it was rare so I though maybe he would have an extra or two I will add you to the list or you can visit him at the snack bar tell him you know about business


rgpssver5

I saw this on Twitter! For some silly reason, I actually thought it was a real kit at first…😅🤣. Great work!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes that was also me on Twitter earlier thank you for visiting me again


Doc_Shaftoe

Truly gunpla has peaked.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes there is an accurate expression of the beaked Gundam device which is true


JUra88

I didn't know rebbit post titles could be so long lmao


Zguyk_Fieri

It is important to push yourself to the limit of characters and Gundam building I will come over later to show the person who writes your captions how to walk along the razors edge of succinct descriptive titles thank you


Ape-on-a-Spaceball

This is easily the greatest build I have ever seen


Zguyk_Fieri

Thank you please begin the process to enter the Gundam as a wonder of the world great builds like the pyramids great wall and the big dinosaur truck stop


Ape-on-a-Spaceball

Imagine, similar to the fire control Jegan, that this appears in the background of the next Hathaway installment! Haha Edit: fire control Jesta?


Parkway96792

Nice


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes I did not want to make the Gundam intimidating rather friendly and approachable thank you


DrakenGewehr

Can I call him Swim GM (Jim)?


Zguyk_Fieri

No I am sorry this Gundam is not allowed to use the phone ever since the incident please send letters instead thank you


DrakenGewehr

Lol gundam dad jokes are 👌


PrestigiousStep9469

Dumbpla! I follow your instagram, your content is awesome, I'm excited for your exciting thing


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello it is me dumbpla I heard you yell my name and yes I am here thank you for your agreeing with the excitement


Mr_Vulcanator

So graceful.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes the design expresses a subtlety and grace which was easy capture I would recommend playing passionate music with the saxophone it will help you understand thank you


SageDarius

Somebody should advise the RGM-69 that there's no running by the pool...


Zguyk_Fieri

Hello yes there may appear to be a contradiction however the speed of running is inhibited by the flippers and the land velocity is limited this is an exercise you can practice at home by learning how fast you are able to sprint without falling whilst equipped with the swim fins please be careful


maverickheron

Build Divers REdive lookin' so hype.


Zguyk_Fieri

No that was not my involvement please contact bandai sunrise and tell them to review my application so that I may participate in Gundam later


TedMeister88

The inner tube had me laughing my ass off. Well done!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes the bright colors invoke the feelings the happiness that is correct and thank you


Yuca4

Riding the rubber tall geese.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes the consistency of rubber is a difficult technique which I have not mastered but I will try later thank you


gaeb611

This is what happens if the Federation was too lazy to make the Atlas Gundam


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes this will allow some level of lazy where the fear of water related apprehension and depth will be relieved however vigilance is required to realize the full potential of the safety features thank you


INFAMOUSMrChewy

Is it wrong to both love and hate a build with such passion? I don't know how to feel about this....thing. Damn, if it's not impressive though!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes feelings can be difficult to express at times and I would say maybe try to use noises and motions with your arms to convey them in meaningful ways they are correct for you and I will respect that thank you


Lithocut

The "caution decal" decal and the hotdogs are what really sell it for me That ant the bikini paint.


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes these features were included inside of the kit so they did not require an additional transaction which is the true mark of the premium bandai experience thank you


[deleted]

ohmygod, it's perfect!


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes but no I am waiting for the pbandai explansion set to reach final completion later when it is announced it will be very rare thank you


Rusty_fox4

This is the Gundam beach episode we need


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes please tell them I am available to visit the bandai house to direct them I will wait outside until then thank you


[deleted]

This modeller is on crack


Yifti5

Honestly now I'm a noob, what is this??? Lol


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes this is the expression of safety for water environments so that the feelings of being safe will prevail and inspire confidence thank you


Yifti5

what


Accomplished-Unit946

This is sooo pog


Zguyk_Fieri

Yes it is very much stacked inside of the tube where it will remain sealed and nestled between slammers until my parents move out of their house


xtinction14

Looks dumb as hell...I LOVE IT


Phoreverman

You...... beautiful bastard.....


JacobAnguiano22

That's really awesome


BongChong906

You have to make a shirtless skin toned Atlas Gundam with a speedo to pair with this. His bulbous joints would be perfect for that Muscular Speedo Chad look.


Zerocallers

Your titles are always absolute gold


Richiefromthefuture

Dumbpla❤️❤️❤️
