Over the years I have amassed a small collection of action figures. So imagine my delight when Tmot and Ting gave me two mini Gundam Models as gifts for me birthday last week!

The Gundam RX-78NT-1 model. WootZ!
I was going to put it together a few nights ago but was left frustrated when I couldn't find my kit gear. My bandai model scissor / plier to be more precise.
Fortunately, I found it after scrummaging through my room and it was time to put it together.

Hobby scissors, nifty.

Just looking at it is like being a kid in a toy shop.
The instructions are in Japanese but thankfully, the instructions are illustrated in great detail.

First we make the head / helmet.


Then we join the head to the upper torso.

Then the lower limbs.

All that's left are the blue 'shoes'.

The Gundam model equipped with weapon and shield. This is just the rough finish. Filling in the lines help to bring out more detail and if one so chooses, can even paint it for a finer finish.
And then it's off to the light box!
