Why Saint-ism
Why Choose Saint-ism

Hi, I’m Saint-ism and I’m a Gunpla Builder from Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been building Gunpla for over 12 years and I specialise in out of the box factory-clean builds.

I love the painting and photography aspect of Gundam and I’m well known across the Gunpla community for my signature shading style that’s become synonymous with “Saint-ism”.

Whether it’s a stock colour scheme or a fully custom paintjob, if this style appeals to you I’d be happy to work with you to create a piece that will stand out in your collection.

Quality driven

Kits are fully airbrushed painted with Mr Color and Gaianotes lacquer paint, brands that deliver an excellent and durable finish and are highly regarded by modelers all over the world.

Stylish

Vibrant colours, subtle shading. Enjoy the signature Saint-ism painting style that I’ve developed and refined over 12 years.

Professional photography

A DSLR camera and macro lens are used to provide you images of your finished product in the highest resolution possible.

Client focused

I’m all about communication and keeping you in the loop, from prompt responses to your questions to a regular update schedule for your project.

    This being my first Gunpla commission, every single one of my expectations has been exceeded. Not only was I given exactly what was represented in the beginning color sketches, with all the proper details I could ever want, Saint went above and beyond that, giving me the prototype beam rifle from his own Gelgoog (Anavel Gato Custom) for no extra charge! He was kind, courteous, consistent and above all; patient. This is not going to be the last custom Gunpla I get from Saint, that’s for sure!

    Finally was able to take some time to myself and put the kit together. You are amazing! This thing is perfect and I could not have asked for more. And I love the high quality photos you included. This is one of the centerpieces of my collection and I hope I can get another piece from you in the future.

How much will it cost?

The cost for the commission will include materials such as paint, primer, topcoat and a service cost based on the time taken to prepare, paint, decal and build the kit. Once I have a better idea of what you’re after I’ll give you a quote via email.

Generally I’d ask the cost of the materials upfront, so I can purchase them and begin work. You can either mail me the kit you want built or I can acquire it on your behalf.

Paypal is the only payment method I will accept, and we’ll work out milestones in which part payments can be made.

How long will it take?

The average turnaround time for a build is around 4-5 weeks for a HG kit and 5-7 weeks for an MG kit. However there may be delays due to waiting for decals to arrive in the mail, general weather, or the number of kits I’m working on at the same time. I’ll keep you informed at every stage of the process and let you know if there are any major delays.
