      Yo if you like 0079, deffo check out 8th MS Team when you’re done. It’s a shorter, more grounded story about the grunts of the One Year War and while the rest of the UC series get into the Newtype developments, this is a change of pace from that.

      Gundam is fun as hell, and, as a side note, I’ve been really enjoying sparking up and carefully sanding and painting gundam models. It’s meditative in a way, plus you get to lay out all sorts of fun tools and learn a few tricks along the way.

        It’s next on my list! I did War in the Pocket before starting 0079. I also crushed Witch from Mercury over the summer.

        I got into Gundam earlier this year, had my honeymoon in Japan, went to see the Unicorn and RX-78F00. Picked up a few HG kits, I just finished this Heavyarms I got at Gundam Factory Yokohama!

        Also a big fan of lighting one up and doing a build, although I hated the all clear plastic, even with sanding I got some gnarly stress marks on the nubs. Might try a RG next and be a little more adventurous with the painting.
