Told myself I want to buy one gunpla and one gunpla only. So, I got this guy and then I got him a display case with a LED light.

When I was 14 or 15, I had gotten my first job around that age, and to celebrate for getting my first paycheck, I decided to treat myself to a Gundam. That's where I picked up the Wing Zero 1/60, built it with zero experience, and was thrilled with it, well, at least at first. Fast forward 20 years, I realized I never took care of it. It fell apart over the years, lost parts, and the dust even made it look awful.

I told myself that if ever got another Gundam, I'd do right by it and take care of it. Enter the RX-78-2. This time, I was focused, very determined to get this right. That's where I started by using cement glue to secure all the non-movable parts so nothing would eventually fall off and get lost, which also made the whole thing feel solid and sturdy. Then, I carefully drew in the panel lines with a marker they gave me at the store, it gave the whole thing more detail, plus included stickers made this gunpla look busy and absolute treat to look at.

When finished, I was blown away by how incredible it looked. I knew I couldn't let dust ruin this masterpiece, so that's where I invested in a display case to protect it. Now, every time walk by, Im in awe of this beautiful beast on display. Definitely worth it!

And yes, I know it didn't need glue but the glue provided a peace of mind.
