The All-Important FIRST POST

Hello, everyone,

I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog to share the passion I have for my favorite hobby, Gundpla building. It just so happens I had a bit of a lull in activity today, so I decided to go ahead and get this up and running. I chose the name of this blog mostly because, while Gundam SEED wasn't the first Gundam series that I'd watched, it was the first that I'd watched in its entirety back when it first aired. Within the CE storyline, I tend to have a bit of a soft spot for Orb, Morgenroete, and the Astray family of mobile suits, so that explains the name choice.

Don't let the name make you think that I'll only be building SEED models. Far from it, in fact. I actually have a decent number of suits from other Gundam storylines that I will be posting pictures of along with my reviews of the kit's overall quality. Hopefully my analyses will be of use to those looking to purchase and build some kits of their own.

Here is a bit of a preview of the kits, by storyline, that I will be posting about in the near future, in no particular order. The ones with an asterisk (*) mean that I will be posting updates as I build the kit.

From time to time, I may post pictures of my friend's models because he has a larger collection of the mass production types from the UC storyline, while I have mostly Gundams or other ace mobile suits.

I'll be posting again soon. Expect to see a play-by-play of sorts as I construct the Freedom Gundam.

Signing out.
