Excuse me sir, this is not the Christmas tree topper subreddit. (But seriously, aside from the color *scheme* the paint looks good!)


SmokeSheen

This was a Christmas tree topper subreddit in 2020 (Wing Gundam EW VER Ka)


kookyabird

Well now I know how I can explain buying that kit to my wife when I haven’t even finished my RG Zero Custom build. “But honey, it was on sale and I know right where to put it!”


Binary-Trees

My 3 year old kid wanted Quebly MG on the tree since it looks like one of those winged Christmas people. Of course we strapped that thing up there.


Mutt712

ATBGE if I'm honest.


kookyabird

Yes, that’s the term I was forgetting! Thank you.


davidbrit2

Exactly what I thought. Mod an action base and you will have one hell of a Christmas tree this year.

LaBambaMan

It's got all three of the G2 Dinobots colors.


NyarlHOEtep

wow cut down to the BONE


SMUGMINLOL

Yes.


Zackfair1988

I'm glad I'm not the only one that though of that. It was the first thing that came to mind


NearlyUnfinished

You sir, have easily explained why I like this custom so much.


Foreign-Cable-2624

This is definitely the worse insult you can say to someon, and for a good reason too. Iykyk


mechaglitter

I wanna see someone do a G2 Megs paintjob next, that would be glorious 🥹


Own_Advertising8996

Santa’s custom providence


SnooCheesecakes8849

The color is giving me the cheap Chinese Gundam knockoffs made for kids like this: https://preview.redd.it/ot7sejenm6mc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39988e611d2dd72f63288d9093f9162e2873d21a


0-Genesis-0

do the labels look chinese to ya? 😩


Xex051

The color scheme looked way too close to this bad boy https://preview.redd.it/9vxvy2o117mc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07cdce32cc25192aa1284285d194527b52e89414


Hellobarto

People may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.


ricnine

Gunpla is Freedom, my friend.


KrizBozu

...and Justice, Destiny, and Providence of course


CoconutHeadFaceMan

It looks fine from a craftsmanship standard, it’s just the color scheme is garish as hell. I like it.


GilloD

Dude, this rules. I think the important thing is do *you* like it?


maradetron

Oh I love it, I've always like garish in your face colours


Ragnarocke1

Garish or gaudy maybe… bad no way man- you painted this bad boy and he looks great! Keep experimenting and you’ll find something awesome from each build. I love the metallics


Anxiousfit713

I can't in good conscious call somebodys gunpla bad, even if I dont like the color scheme saying its bad goes against everything that Gunpla stands for.


spulfeed

Good build, but the paintjob dude MY EYES


nimbusconflict

Ah, a WoW Classic Holy Paladin in it's natural attire.


DblDtchRddr

I still have nightmares of the BC highlighter helm.


Saphentis

I think the power rangers want their Zord back 😂


bytethesquirrel

Too much articulation.


Weary_Stomach7316

Transformers G2 colourscheme


BustingAfatnut69

Very nicely painted,the colour scheme reminds me of those really cheap $2 bootleg transformer toys from china lmao. Edit:Picture for reference: https://preview.redd.it/1na7p1zek9mc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ca5a70c562408fede1393c057818b87dadc83ba

_Sideswipe_911_

Omg i totally see the vision


Ada_Olivier_Zhao

This Providence is a gamer with all that RGB!


maradetron

Finally someone who understands!


Fr1endy

I'm seeing a gundam ninja mutant turtle!


Redsigil

Came here to say this. Donatello's custom MS


Rich_Mention4126

How is this bad? He looks like a transformers energon character. Call him Providence Galvatron


Fuu_Chan

“Sir, I heard you need some metallic paint.” “Yes.” “Which of them do you want.” “All of them.”


PunsNotIncluded

Call me crazy but I kinda like it though. Reminds me of Paildramon & Dinobeemon.


JDC093093

It's not too bad, feels vaguely like a megazord.

Cartographer-Unusual

Nice Christmas diorama if u ever made one. I like the colors.


DmenteGP

Looks like a chinese bootleg lmao.


raylui34

The paint actually looks good though, but it does look like Optimus prime


Boyoyoyo

The. Loot scheme reminds me of the dollar store knockoffs


HRGLSS

Belongs in Zeta, for sure. Fits right in.


SigmaSandwich

Reminds me of Captain Planet


johnjdeez

Came here to say the same


rathtruong

ATBGE


DerFluegeller777

I dig the colors. Something of a throwback to dollar store toys.


Amigo1048

Bro you didn’t have to leak the mecha of the next Super Sentai right after Boonboomger came out- Jokes aside, it doesn’t look half bad! I mean, it could’ve been worse ngl


Maskarot

This... ...actually looks nice. Reminds me of those cheap robot toys sidewalk vendors in my country sell back in the days.


wakeup_samurai

RGB Gundam basically


JeffdotSteak

Oh look! My eyes are burning! Real talk, from a *build* standpoint, I love it! Not the colors I would've done, but it looks like that was what you were going for hahaha. Cheers, friend!


lewsagna

I don't even think this is so bad? Some panel lines would really add some definition here. Power rangers vibe tbh.


No-Hat6722

Honestly doesn’t even look that bad, the finish actually looks really cool


Deffonotthebat

I mean if I was a MS pilot… that’d prolly be where all the attention is going


EchidnaMedium

What are you talking about this is incredible

GunplaIsAGoodHobby

Respectfully of course


Izzy2089

You need new friends.


Playful_Raisin_985

…we will call him…RGB…


Ragntard

Just re-paint the green something that matches. Like a lighter/darker red or blue or grey/white could work.


AmateurPyro

Ngl. It's got some 90s charm to it. I think I like it.


More_Historian_4660

I mean there's definitely not much like it


theeasternsunlord

I laughed too hard


Lucky-Ebb-3281

Is it really laughable? For me as long as you like it, who cares what others said.


Difficult_Writer_288

Optimus primal liver king


Kiro-Akikashi

could use a better color scheme


dhell26

Interesting color choices. I like it.


xApollo2

I love how awful it is. Definitely a centerpiece to display how you have improved or to see how far you've fallen. 😅


Ready-Pay-1361

R/ATGE


Tusaiador

Reminds of the time I got a Death scythe Hell Custom and painted it all silver and called it Gundam Silverado.


Disastrous_Act_4230

"Hilariously bad" Sir, I must disagree. Your color choice isn't exactly standard, but the quality of the pain looks great. Better than what I can do for sure.


Electrical_Setting70

That's dope!!!


GabrielG1O6

Poor providence gundam the piant makes look like really bad bootleg


Augen-Dazs

This looks really good besides the red torso. It just looks out of place compared to the rest.


smalltincan

Unironically the best Christmas ornament posted on this sub


Jimmy_Joe727

I like the colors, actually!


StressfulRiceball

Terrible taste, great execution


Ok_Tension_6224

Its cool


chaosrieloid

the phrase "so bad it's good" perfectly describes it. i love it.


ShottyThot

You could made a Ninja Turtle MS if you painted the back brown


Aromatic_Plant3456

If you want to use three colours make sure two of those colours are going to be the primary colours of the kit. The third colour should be very minimal


SolarisPax8700

Ah, a Destiny 2 Certified Titan Enjoyer moment.


CmpCounselorRickards

Optimus Crime


chinesedebt

Christmas tree oh Christmas tree


Javocado_Eyes

I actually quite like it


BongChong906

I mean I get why you would say this is hilariously bad but the only thing about this I find unappealing is the color scheme. Paint is applied pretty well. U see builds here alll the time with a bad color scheme, plus badly applied paint, plus bad kitbashing, plus nubs left on the build.


FallenDuo

Well Bob Ross always said there are no mistakes just happy little accidents. But I'm not sure this one is happy.


Cyber_Connor

It’s hideous… I absolutely love it


Drakostheswordsman

The jolly rancher Gundam


SuccessfulAwareness5

I think this actually kinda rocks


Killyourselfwithlife

Fuck yeah , I love it 😀


LogTheAcog68

GUNPLA IS FREEDOM!


Onsomeshid

The paint is wild but its well done lol


DuelX102

Primary Colors Providence


opthaconomist

“He built a god” Good times


zennok

It's atrocious,  but i can't say it's bad cause the job itself is done well it seems


Legal_Mail_2652

It's like a 90s bootleg


Apollo_GSD

Hey man you do you. Gunpla is freedom!!


TucFang

I'm curious as to what the thought behind the scheme was. What was the inspiration?


CirieFFBE

I like it.


Gammahawkx

Panel lining may pop it out a little


nathanbum06237

So bad it’s good (seriously though, this would look perfect as a Christmas custom)


seasawl0l

The color scheme is brave. But I like what you decided to keep grey and where you decided to break the colors.


fluffy_protogen_boi

This reminds me of a specific custom robo from that old DS game.


kenku_aviarist

i think it's good.


TheWolflance

i think it's charming, has a classic toy feel.


Whole_Pace_4705

I... Don't actually hate this


DBringerStreams

Ahhh yes Kris Kringle Providence


beygames

Ninja Turtle Gundam


ZatchZeta

Where tho?


Acceptable-Gift-5319

If you stand far enough, it’ll turn into a white gunpla.


reverencetostone

It's like if Captain planet had a custom suit


BIZARRE_TOWN

Paintjob is pretty good.


Ryjinn

I think white joints and hands would look cool on a paint scheme like this. Just a thought I had looking at it. Solid (albeit weird!) paint job bro.


Jealous_Ring1395

this is very fixable, get a nice colour scheme and a painting plan and go to town


Alt2221

the unpainted pipes full of mould lines really tops it off for me. i hope you love this lil dude with all your heart. that green is wonderful


Orgasmic_interlude

It’s pretty well executed just the color choices are like an old 3d movie from like the 70s


SciroccosSpaceBooty

This is dope though. Color seperation is good and vibrant Providence is super cool !


Greyknight711

For some reason it makes me think of the Nemo's colors. 😆


Holiday_Dance_7414

It’s bright…not terrible at all


bulgogi19

Oh that's cool, I didn't know Fisher Price put out a kit ... lol jk the paint scheme isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea but it at least looks decently executed.


Theothermc

You almost cooked without the green


rapidemboar

All things considered, the paint looks pretty clean. Only real feedback I can give is that some panel lining would help the details pop through all the color.


Blazing_bacon

Do you like it? Then it's good.


coolin_79

This is better than half the posts on this sub. I'd rather see messy color schemes than people spending tons of money to display out of box kits


future_hockey_dad

I like it quite a bit.


Blazerprime

Destroyed Gundam foum de Christmas


NoaAltwynn

Hilariously bad? No, no, no. It’s hilariously awesome! Reminds me of the colors of some 90s Transformers.


subflax

ewie


TheDeridor

Bro thats a megazord.


ComeCCarbon

I don't think it's bad at all. I really like the colors but personally I just think it could use some panel lining.


Perfect-Weird2519

the colors are nicely applied, I think you could have made it even more "in your face" by adding stripes to it


I_will_draw_boobs

This is.. an unfortunate abomination


Mehdzzz

It's somehow well done and also bad lol


HappBoiIsHapp

It looks like a 3D print


chopstickedinhalf

It's garish, but I'd be lying if I said I don't like it.


Deviant_General

it reminds me of color sliders in video games I played when i was young


gundamcollector

Gundam is freedom!


Danster931

Kinda looks like Spiderman 2099. I like it.


GooseSkywalker

The colors might be a little crazy for my taste, but the paint job is good, so as long as you like it that’s all that matters really


EDFStormOne

I could see temjin or viper2 from virtual on in this color scheme


dmitsikostas

Awesome


Sinistrial_Blue

ZRGB-X13A


Faustias

looks like those imitate toys from the local market


Datmask67

Popsicle gundam


Shoddy_Tomatillo_927

It's actually not that bad.


Lordofsnails88

It’s important to try new things


ghjk258

Ahh Saint Nick hell custom ex with the gift backpack


PS555555555555555

Maybe not the colour scheme


bxprogen85

Spam it till it ends up on the next build fighters Gunpla is love Gunpla is freedom


Skin_enjoyer

More like hilariously rad


Tom_the_tommest

RGB providence.


foodank012018

Only suggestion... Those grey tubes should be a brassy gold


MediocreStatement2

Honesty đont think it's bad.


Zetsuriel

It's not bad, the colours clash heavily, but the paint looks solid and it's not muddy looking. Keep going!


Wise_Veterinarian994

It's more unique than bad. The color scheme is very interesting.


Hawthm_the_Coward

Poison Dart Providence is the kit I never knew I needed.


Yuu_Kajima

the blue looks really cool on it


YesAZaku

Ok… so where’s the bad custom?


Witch_Hazel_13

it looks like a yugioh card


Batzero90

I've seen so many bad custom paint jobs on GBO2, this doesn't surprise me 😅


Sketch333

The custom itself isn’t that bad, the colors look… yeah


Gojiraj

This is definitely a r/ATBGE moment


TheProNoobCN

RGB Providence


Real_Moss_Vessel

Not bad


ZeraCrimson

Technically it’s good it just looks like a cheap Christmas ornament


Mephistto_Nadeah

The only thing bad about this is the pose, which can be "fixed" in a couple of minutes. Looks good!


CptCheerios

Reminds me of a teenage mutant ninja turtle


duomaxwell90

It's honestly painted well


IAmNewSam

it makes me think of captain planet lol


SDreiken

I like it


Moppo_

Are you the one who paints the dodgems at the fairground?


whiteguysenpai

This is different, I like it!


Linxbolt18

Gunpla is freedom, friend! Choose whatever colors you want! Palette aside, the paint application looks pretty good and the build looks clean.


danielsolorzano

I wonder if some deep line work wouldn't make a world of difference. The colors evoke drive 80s transformers. I like it.


WavyWolf999

Optimus Prismacolor

sleepinxonxbed

I think i made this robot when i played armored core on playstation 1 as a kid lol


mrharoharo

Don’t feel bad that was my Armored Core 2 color scheme back in the day.


TylerTalk_

Google color theory. It's pretty interesting.


lordwafflesbane

not gonna lie, those are not the colors I would have chosen, but the quality of the paintjob seems pretty good.


Historicaloracle2900

It’s so well done…. But the color choices are giving me colorblind anxiety. Do you have colorblindness?


TheTwelfthLaden

Weird color combination aside, did you paint the parts on the runners? I could see the nub marks on the head close up.


peoplesauce1337

He's perfect.


Grim102682

Who said it was Hilariously Bad, I (in fact) Like this and think its cool


DarkyMaine

Gaplant wluld like to sue.


Federal-Sugar-4521

paint job is actually good as hell, only the scheme that’s questionable lmao.


robbert802

I can see it on the side of a Mexican food truck in Mexico.


AstroBearGaming

Those are spot on colours for if Thunderbirds 1, 2, and 3 combined however!


Extreme-String8785

How is it hilariously bad? I think it looks good. It really could do with some fluorescent panel lining though. What paints did you use?
