oi, at last, a thread on one of my favorite pastimes.....
Well, I first started out on model airplanes (Academy kits, mostly, cheap eh).... but you have to glue them, then paint them.... I'm not very careful with glue, and i'm even lousier at painting.....
So, when i first tried out Gunpla kits (Gundams), what a godsend.... SNAP ON assembly, pre colored!!! This is generally true of the newer kits, of course; i made the mistake of buying a few of the older kits (not a Gundam), and these required gluing AND painting.....
I do ink my kits... Incidentally, how do you store your finished MS? some of the older ones i did collected dust quite easily, and i don't have much space to keep the boxes and the assembled robot inside as well..... not to mention the boxes they come in easily attract pests.....
Cheers!!!
