My first gundam, Shining Gundam (master Grade)

This is my first Gundam. Normally people will buy First Grade, High Grade and even non Grade Gundam as for their first Gundam. However, my first Gundam was a master grade. Not because i am very rich, because i find that it is not worth to buy a lower grade Gundam. Beside that, the lower grade Gundam is not as detail as the master grade and the price is not really very big different. This Gundam called shinning Gundam. It belongs to a very old anime, i think i was almost 20 years old and above. Perhaps, at that time Gundam model is not as famous as now. So, this Gundam model series was reproduce i think few years back. I was almost 6 years already that i bought it. At that time, i don't know what is Master Grade or High Grade, all i know it looks cool.



I had completed this model in one night only without adding any detail and even the decals because i was thought that i need to paint it. And as i am a student that time, i don't have extra money to buy paint and other accessories to do extra retouching. So, recently, i had took out Shinning Gundam and ask my friend, ah Yap to do all the retouching and put on all the decals or sticker. As what you can see in the photo was after retouching.

Some people might find that it is kind of money wasting and " so old already still want to play toy?" If anyone who ask like that i will reply.....So? For me, model making is like an art. It is more than just "toy" but like other art painting, you need determination, patient and of course skill to make it looks beautiful and presentable to the others. So, if you want to see more photos of my Gundam, feel free to see it at my facebook.
