    Too bad I don't have any conference trip to Tokyo before they take this down...

    Guess the closest I'll ever be next to a 1:1 Gundam is a 1:1 right hand only...

    Being a huge SD Gundam kit fan, I rarely delve into proper Gundam kits. Recently I delved back with the recent 1/144 HG Gundam 00 kits (Exia Repair II and 0 Gundam Type ACD) and oh my. The engineering with these tiny models are unbelievable. With the little experience I've had with previous kits, these new ones mimic engineering I thought only possible with the HG and even MG 1/100 scale kits. My mind boggles at the build and features with the latest 1/100 sets.

    Well thanks to the quality of 1/144 HG Exia RepairII and O Gundam, it has rekindled my love for gunpla (short for gundam plastic model kits) and, wel,l got this lot:



    Have always loved SD/BB Gundams and been getting them steadily but never this much core gunpla. The Seed mechs kinda got a little too samey towards the end but OO Gundam mechs have some distinct and creative new mechs which appeals to my own Gundam needs.

    My gunpla renaissance has finally hit it's stride. In anticipation of PG OO Raiser I decided to dabble into 1/60 gunpla kits and got these two babies (presented by their SD counterparts):



    Already built Exia and I must say, I never realized how large 1/60 scale is. It's taller than Masterpiece Prime! Can't wait to build the Lightning Edition of 1/60 Strike Freedom. Looks especially gorgeous with the lights on. Gotta set aside a full day free to make it. There's a lot in that box!
