Nice!

Thank you!

MAN DOWN!!!!

The Gundam Barbatos fell off the shelf after I moved it. Came apart in several pieces. But we have the power to rebuild it.

Nice save.

I remember one day I came home from school and found the Clydesdale Budweiser wagon train my mom dropped while after dusting the shelf it was on. Oh boy the anger I felt seeing broken in several pieces. I wouldn’t speak to mom for a long time after that (maybe a week at most).

I spent weeks building it. I’d love to find another for a do over. I did find one at an antique store in Canajoharie, NY but it was missing a couple of gold chrome parts. I passed on it.

That sucks.

Back when I was a kid. Me and my parents built and painted a carrier model. We lived on base in El Paso in a duplex. The other side of the duplex had had a fire in it and they decided to knock it down. Well they were stupid and when they started it buckled our wall and knocked the model off the shelf and it hit the floor and exploded into a million parts.

That also sucks. My brother threw all my models out of our bedroom window to see if they could fly - including my Ark Royal. He was very lucky he didn't follow after. I knew there was a reason why I haven't spoken to the little weasel for nearly 30 years...

Just like Robocop - we can rebuild!

So I haven't done a beat up damaged mech in a long time. I decided that it was time. I have the MG Unicorn Gundam with the docking station included. I was going to use the docking station but wasn't sure about which Gundam I was going to mess up. I though about doing Exia but I started the Unicorn and had the same issues I did with the Real Grade version. Very fiddlty and I broke parts just trying to put it together. I'm still trying to decide if I'll use it or another one. The docking station is ready for priming and painting. The Unicorn is almost completely built.

All looking really good Mike, I like that docking station - what scale are these supposed to be?

Thanks! It's 1/100 scale. All Master Grade kits are that scale.
