Gundam can be cool, cute, or whatever you want them to be really. You can paint them, mix and match them, add more parts, take parts away...My favorite is when people do really nice paint jobs on their customs, or add stickers/charms/embelishments! I love how just airbrushing changes the whole look of a build.
Oddly enough, I never really got into the show XD (However when I got my code friend Charles into gundam, he ended up watching EVERY ep of the orginal show, so I definitely sat and watched a handful with him) Maybe I just haven't found the exact one for me yet? I know they released a new series somewhat recently, but for now I'm just kinda into the models and art aspects of it. I'm not 100% dedicated to JUST gundam, I love other model kits like Megami Device, or even just off brand things...as long as I like lookin' at it and bonus points if the parts can combine with other sets.
I got this Haro keychain and Haro metalic pin when I was in Japan in 2025...I made a few color variations so you can put one on your site :) Enjoy!! (You'll probably want to resize them once they are on your page, the main file is kinda big. I have the keychains set to a height of 100px and the pins set to a height of 75px here for example, I think when they are bigger they look better though!)
Sometimes if I really like the box a kit comes in, I cut it out with an exacto knife and put it in a frame! I did that for these two so far:
From the old web/old games:
A few more pics of other shelves in my office including my 30minute missions/30minute sisters so far. Some people call their unopened kits/still in box models their "pile of shame" XD At least I like looking at the box art!!
I got this really nice organizer for my gundam parts and craft supplies. I have a link down below to the same style, I believe it's technically a photo box organizer. With any kit, you end up with spare parts (extra hands, weapons, helmet parts, etc) I thought I'd store them like this so I could easily find them and add them to another build in the future.
Hemoxian 1/12 Zombie Girl Model Kit: This is a kit I started but need to go back to. It has SOOO many runners and pieces!!! It actually has 2 full bodies in it, and a ton of variants like face/body/weapon/etc variations...This will be the next one I return to whenever I get back into model making ^_^
I've had this solar powered Haro alarm clock since I used to live in California, so at least 2007 or so. When the sun hits it, Haro's ears move up and down ^^ Very cute. It still tells time and even has alarm options.
