Prelude

Most kits that I have is SEED series, because they are the first Gundams I ever came across. Other types of attribute that will attract me to the kits are good combination in a team, one eyed and cool,  gigantic sized suit / mobile armor, big guns and swords, wings, and something that is special.
Too bad...there isn't many 1/144 scaled mobile armor, and scratch build is out of option, material is very very scarce in my living place.
And prices of the tools are usually sky high (so is the model kits), and for someone like me, I wouldnt risk destroying (fail painting) a thing that I just bought at sky high prices. Even a bootleg kit is expensive...
Overall, it's a good hobby, and it gives a good feel of satisfaction. All other collectors out there might just feel the same as me I think o.o
