It's fine here. BTW, how do you find time to build all those kits...I mean with the "proper" attention...it takes me about 3 days to build a simple kit, about 6 hours worth of work...

Time you say? lol thats why that wall is so large, I dont find much time at all. If i dont do anything beyond panel filling and light paint applications it takes me about 3-5 days as well since i usually build after the son is asleep and the wife has stopped bothering me about crap.
However, I am currently trying my hand at filling in seems, sanding, and proper painting. Lets just say my Gebra Tetra has been primed for about three weeks now and no telling when i will actually start on it agian.
ALso, I usually buy kits in bulk, so I end up biting off more then i can chew.

At least yours is primed, mine still in sprues...at least I've opened one of them! Darn boxes are so large, they really devastate the real estate...I'm thinking Thanksgiving, I will get one done. LOL. Yeah, BTW, I hear you about the wife and kids, I usually would use the hours of 10-1am to work on it as well. Nothing like going to sleep with the smell of paint, thinner and putty on your body!

Excellent haul Mech! Especially the three Master Grades. You will have to let me know how the Zeta Ver. 2 turns out, if you ever get a chance to build it . By the way, on the bottom left of the picture, I see a Perfect Grade Strike box. May I ask what box is sitting above it? It isn't what I think it is......is it? Limited Perfect Grade RX-78-3? -Qball

@qball- Hah I wish, no its the old PG wing zero box. I'll let you know how the MG zeta goes, but as you said, dont know when im gonna get to it, oh and thanks again for you made these purchases possible, and you have my old mg zeta now (well i still have the regular edition). question, how was the PG zeta build for you? Also, all kits to the left have been built. I have actually completed around 40+ gundam of varying levels. I would say only 9 of them look decent (there was a time when i used plain old markers to color WHOA!) 00silvergt- yup those are my hours as well if i dont end up passing out before then or caught up in my many other hobbies, anime, gaming, movies, working out, and drawing (barely). Oh and special encouters with the wife lol

I couldn’t help but purchase the models from you. It was an unbelievable price. Thank you again for those. In regards to the PG Zeta, it is a pretty fun build. Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it has the 2nd most parts, first being the GP01. But remember, it is one of the original PG kits, so it is not even close to being as poseable to the more recent ones. It is fragile, so handle it with care. And don’t expect to many cool poses, unless you get a stand for it. LOL In the end however, it is the most appealing PG model, and is a must have in any PG collection.
In regards to building, and many in this forum will hate me for saying this….. After building a couple hundred models, I am pooped. I am taking a vaca from building for a while. Since I don’t paint or panel line, they don’t look anywhere as good as the models done by some of the professionals we have in this forum. I guess you can call me a “collector” instead of a “modeler”. You’re 9 that you refer to as “decent” probably look a lot better than mine. LOL
Have fun building!

LOL Have fun building! -Qball I hear you on the finished moddeling part, I said that 4-5years ago and concentrated only on collecting completed figs but i got the crave again and to go beyond what i did previously. It is exciting to attempt to do a model right and dab into different color schemes. I hope you get into building again though in our adult lives it can be hard to get to. PG Zeta fragile you say? so is it hard to transform in to wave rider mode? I dont plan on doing any crazy poses with it but im not sure if i would keep it in wave mode or not. should be a fun build regardless.

Transforming is not an issue. However, since it is such a heavy model, the joints can get loose fairly quick if it is played with or transformed often. The wings and backpack add to the difficulty of balancing the item, especially once these joints do become loose.
That was my experience anyway. Good luck!
