It's been a while since I last built a Gundam kit though; she wasn't even born yet, come to think of it. It's the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz OVA that got me into it. I nearly completed all the Gundams from that movie; I remember not getting Tallgeese because I didn't like the design.
Getting this gift got me all excited for Gundams again. But building this kit also knocked a bit of reality check in me. Man, I've gotten old. I struggled to read the small print in the instruction booklet! This SD kit took me three nights with a couple of hours each to build. There were quite a number of stickers too. I'm amazed though at how the kit has evolved over time. For one thing, you no longer need a cutter to pop off the parts from the tree! So handy.and this one has an articulated elbow! Imagine that.
It was satisfying completing this build. Reminded me of happy memories building Gundams and watching anime. And I'm so glad my daughter gets me.
