Mike, those Gundams are good. They're tight. Compliments to your wife as well for her project too! Only you can answer, but I think there's a pure joy of building with these kits that really feeds the soul. It makes model building something that is so satisfying! Happy New Year
Make more models!

Thank you! They're a good easy build that helps with the difficult ones.

Nice! I may find something over at Plaza Japan. They’ve got some great prices on Gundam and other kits not found in the states. Shipping charges is high but but that’s expected. I’ve ordered from them once and am pleased with it.

While this isn't a Gundam, it's still a mobile suit of sorts. The is the Nirvash Type Zero LFO from the anime Eureka Seven. I've been looking for a kit of this forever! I stumbled upon it at a LHS and had to get it. The kit is actually not the high end one and it shows. It wasn't an easy build because of the shiny plastic and the stickers. The stickers had some hard core adhesive and would stick and be stuck there like they had been super glued on. Still, it was it is and at least I've got one built.

Not really a Gundam but still a mobile suit. And it's more of a living one than a giant robot.

So, the Blue Angels are doing Gundam? Neat stuff, Mike.
