A New Beginning!

I've always wanted to build model kits especially Sci-Fi kits since I was a kid. My dad used to build and fly a lot of RC Aircrafts in the 80s. He built them entirely too, from the ribs of the wing to wrapping the entire aircraft. I used to help him build it too. But I was always just an assistant. I just helped glue some parts together and my favorite part but never got to do it myself...ironing the wrap. I thought that was the most awesome part in building the plane, watching the wrap slowly shrink into a perfect fit each time the iron passed by!

Anyways fast forward, I never got into the hobby because I was a poor pilot (crashed a training glider!) and just looking the parts to assemble was just intimidating!

Just look at how many parts you needed to put together to make your planes back then! Repairs were horrifying too! Build it and then crash it on the weekend, just wasn't inviting to an 8-year old.

I stumbled into this hobby when I watched "Gundam Build Fighters". It reminded of how I loved building the airplanes with my dad. So on a weekend, I decided to buy a Gundam kit (just the Advance Grade) for my son :). We built it together and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully my son did too but he's 3 so everything is always exciting for him! Hehe!

Our first mech kit! The AG G-Bouncer!

I built 2 more Gundam kits, one HG and the other a MG. I'll post more pics later!
