Zero Wing

This is my 4th (I think) Gundam model. The first three were bought when I was in highschool and college, the first 1/100 model was around 2007, all three got lost somehow. Now this one, the robot with angel wings.

I have been wanting to have this one for so long. Now I have it, I finally have my own. A lot of work still needs to be done on this one... I still have to paint it, buy a stand for it, and a proper shelf in my condo. For now, it lives in a box away from dust until I have a proper place for it.

This photoshoot is long overdue, bought the mecha last December as a Christmas present for myself. I forgot to include the twin canons in the shoot. They were very heavy, the wings alone are so heavy the mecha gets out of balance as I pose it in my light cube. Next time, I will balance the weight of the wings and the twin canons. Hmm, I wonder where can I buy Gundam paint kits.

  5. Glad to see a kindred soul here. I used to do Gundam scaled models too. I've lost count how many I've made, but from my loose memory, it should be around 30 or so. It's a very expensive hobby, I know, but the satisfaction of creating a 3-dimensional moveable/ poseable toy from bits and pieces is totally worth it. Before Gundam, I was also doing Zoids and Technix. :)
