your son must be one happy camper, having access to so many gundams. I think this hobby beats the video games that the younger generation is exposed to. Nothing beats the joy of looking at a gundam you spent 3-4 days straight to complete.

The other good thing about this hobby is that you can pause , take a break and restart anytime you want and nothing will die on you. LOL.
I think I mentioned previously that I built HG Gundam Wing kits back in the mid 90s. These newer master grade and real grade kits are something else though. Definitely brings the hobby to the next level.
The other aspect that I'm enjoying again is watching the shows. I decided to start watching all the Gundam shows from the start.
At the end of the day it's a great pastime for my son and I to enjoy together. He's 6 and can put together any HG or RG kit together by himself. I help him with the decals. He's even started to paint now. I love that he loves the hobby.
