just make sure you're carefully when you store these, i think the biggest reason i haven't built my rx-78 and wing gundam ewc is bcuz moving has disadvantages to model kits more than any other toy, grant it i prob should've glued some or the more fragile parts, my most depressing lost is my Zoids HMMs they didn't make the last military move in perfect condition :x
yea you have to be real careful cause some of the plastic pieces are very small and some are very thin and brittle. Before they go into storage, I disassemble the whole kit into body parts and put them in a zip lock bag just to be safe. I try not to move around the ones I have stored too much, but sometimes I like to switch around the ones I have on display.

which HMM Zoids did you damage?
I can't stunt my 1:60 God gundam is a pain in the ***
it's top heavy so it'll lean back or fall over then I'd have to rebuild the shoulder guards multiple times
I said **** this **** and put the whole thing back in the box
It was my first built though so I think I did good

that kit is very outdated in terms of engineering/quality it's basically just a scaled up HG from the mid 90s. The unique thing about it though is that Bandai barely reprints those 1/60 HG kits nowadays, so they have become quite rare. The latest 1/144 HGFC that released a few years ago surpasses all of the previous plamo forms of the Burning Gundam.

alright bro, im looking forward to seeing some of your kits here. i may have questions about painting so ill see you in this thread from time to time.
btw regarding kit storage, ever experienced keeping a built kit back in its box then stored there for over a year? does the joints begin to get loose or do the polycaps or the plastic get brittle over time? hoping someone can answer this issue. thanks
ed. ow so thats how you tag someone

feel free to ask any question, I might have an answer for it. I'm still a rookie when it comes to painting/modifying kits though, but I'm trying. The best plamo modelers reside in your part of the world, those guys are crazy skilled when it comes to the hobby. As for the kit storage, do you store the box lying down horizontally or upright vertically? It also depends on how big and heavy the actual model is, you have to factor gravity in the equation. I usually build a whole kit entirely then I disassemble it and put it into zip lock bags so pieces don't go missing inside the box. I have 4 big MG boxes with about 8-10 kits in each, some have been in there for more that 8 years. I don't think there should be a problem with loose joints or brittle plastic unless they're stored in extreme temperatures.
You dudes are killin' it with these Gundam's
Makes me wanna wanna dig out all my Wing stuff from back in the day. What other good Gundam series's are there after Wing?

Do it bro, I have mines stored in multiple boxes though so it might take a while.
As far as good series after Wing? Check out Gundam 00, it is split up into two seasons of 25 episodes each. There's also a new series that's airing right now called Iron Blooded Orphans, I would check that out as well, it's getting good.
As far as good OVAs after Wing? Look no further that Gundam Unicorn, in my opinion it's up there with some of the best Gundam OVAs. There's also 2 OVAs currently airing right now, The Origin and Thunderbolt.
