Gundam
Check out my in progress Gunpla for some in-depth stories on the whole process of building a kit or check out the galleries in the finished Gunpla area.
Gundam Models refers to plastic and non-plastic model kits depicting the mecha, vehicles and characters of the fictional Mobile Suit Gundam universe. These Gundam Models may also be called Gunpla (ガンプラ, Ganpura), a portmanteau of “Gundam Plastic Model”.

It all started with some little kit I bought at a local toystore. The kit was on sale, just as the rest of the left overs they had. Since I’ve always been interested in plastic model kits I bought this awesome looking robot at once! I found out it was a High Grade Gundam Wing and I wasn’t the only one who build them. I found some forums and website’s about other Gunpla builders but then lost track of it due to my study.
After a few years I picked it up again and really got in to the kits again. I arranged myself a simple single action airbrush and bought some paint, pressurized air and a few kits. Quickly I started to get better with the airbrushing and overall building. I recently bought a double action airbrush and a compressor. The compressor is some brandless oil free compressor with a 3 liter tank and the airbrush is a Hard & Steenbeck Infinity 2 in 1.
At the moment I just finished a 1/100 Master Grade Nemo, but still need to make a photoshoot and I am working on a SD Blaze Zaku Phantom that can be seen over at the Progress-page.
As for finished kits, they can be seen over at the Finished-page.
