Started and finished my latest project today, the Gundam Seed Meteor Unit. Bigger than my last project, the GN Arms but easier to construct. Started at 9am this morning and finished at 3.30 with only a 30 minute lunch break. Anyways, here are the pics:

I'm tempted to get the Strike Gundam in PG but as I'm a completist, that would mean I'd have to get the PG Aile Striker and Skygrasper to go with it which puts it out of my reach even further. :(

:)Gundam are cool, they are also nice and easy to put together for an old fart like me. I've only got 5 myself but that ship looks mighty impressive:eek:. I've only collected the 1/100 scale so far, I think I should have stuck to 1/144 as this would have been cheaper to collect.

No paint, too lazy, scared I'll ruin it even further. Plus I like the "toy" look.

I really like the finish modellers do when they paint...
You should try one day like on one of your 1/100's at least.

Looks huge and satisfying when you spray them..
