I searched a few times for a dedicate thread for ppl to post & discuss plastic/resin hobby model kit building and showing off the photos. Feel free to share photos of your builds and finished kits of anything, wether it's typical planes, cars, ships, or more unusual like sci-fi vehicles, anime mecha, even built character figure kits.
I'll start off: I used to build all manner of military planes, occasional ships and some cars as a kid, but I lacked a lot of patience and maturity so I rushed thru kits a lot for immediate gratification and easy display. Later I switched to anime mecha modeling, particular with the Gundam anime series, aka 'Gunpla' to the japanese, but again, I built these again when I was pretty young and wanted something to play w and eventually break so I rushed thru these kits and didn't give them proper finish or attn to detail.
After about 15 years of not touching model kits, I've gotten back into it again and starting again with Gunpla kits because the technology has improved a LOT over the last decade. kits are more show accurate and with articulation that's better designed to replicate the dynamic poses shown in the anime shows.
