Neat stuff, Stuart! Love the box art…that’s why I tend to keep boxes.

Hi, my name is Mike and I have a problem. Actually it was an early B-day preset. I now have three of the four main Gundams from "Gundam 00" Also got some supplies.

Nice score, Mike! I do like Tamiya lacquer paints myself. Not sure what the blue tool is.

Those precision swabs are nice and I have a few left. But let me you in a little secret… I buy those precision swabs at Walmart for $10 for a pack of 800 swabs. Look for them where the Q-tips are or in make-up aisle.

The blue tool is for Gundams. It's to help building and taking apart pieces so that you can paint them.

The descent into madness continues. I can't wait to get into this one after doing 1/4 of the first step on the 105mm gun (still not done). This came from China in `14 days. Pretty impressive.

So you chose another AFV Club kit? :headslap: Mind you they are gorgeous when completed, but man the parts count… :whistle:

And, the M109 I have is AFV.this kit is around 16 sprues, I think. Honestly, until I broke open the artillery piece, I was unaware of what these kits could be. You are right, the right hands they are spectacular.
