Here's my small collection of gundams. I started building gundam model kits since 1996, but I have hardly made my collection grow throughout the years. When I came across this forum (and watched the Seed series subsequently) , I decided to rebuild my collection. So, here it is... My first gundams, S-Gundam/S-Gundam Booster Unit HG 1/144 (circa 1996) Gundam Wing Endless Waltz HG 1/144 (Nataku, Sandrock and HArms) Aile Strike HG 1/100 (My newest courtesy of Sir Popoy) Worth noting: Hasegawa VF-1S 1/72 My next projects: Wing Zero 1/100 and Wing Zero Custom 1/144 Had these two kits from years ago, but I've only started to tinker with them a week ago. For some reason, I already lost the assembly instructions for the Wing Zero 1/100! Guys, if you have copies, scans or links to these, it would be greatly appreciated. Will update once I complete more kits! Thanks!

archaznableThanks! yup, I do build figther jets as well (i have been concentrating on those most of the time), but most of my stuff was damaged when we moved houses. Actually, the Valk pictured above also lost its nose gear, but I managed to replace it with the nose gear of a spare F-14 Tomcat. Anyway, the one on the right side's an F/A-18D Hornet and the left one's a Eurofigther 2000 (which has been missing a landing gear).

I got used to the size of the S-gundams that when I built the other 1/144 kits, I was surprised how much smaller the other kits were (around 25% smaller).
Those kits already show their age. The white paint has already yellowed and some details have broken off (check the right shoulder detail of the S-gundam).
More pics to come...

Hehe, I'm not that good either... most of my gundams and models dont even have panel lines. I've only started detail work with the VF-1S and the Aile strike. pics...

ivohehe, it's 1/100 scale. It's not actually from a model kit... It's a diecast model that i bought from united toys.
