Gundam Builders
Lets celebrate one of the largest hobbies in the world!
We'll be posting pictures and sharing our experiences with the various HG, RG, and MG Gundam models we've built for out Little Plastic Army!!
Gundam Aeriel
From Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, Aeriel is a joy to build and poses great!
TWFM is the first Gundam series my family watched together, so maybe we're biased. But, Gundam Aeriel is a great model!
MS-07B-3 Gouf custom
The first Mobile Suit built for our collection. Ironically...not a Gundam.
My nerd-daughter brought the Gouf to life and kickstarted our passion for building these iconic models.
XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Family
Gundam RX-78-2
What would a Gundam collection be without the original "grandpa gundam"?
This Entry Grade was a great way to introduce my youngest to building these models and to experiment with panel lines and custom markings.
My first experience with Gundam was Gundam Wing on Toonami. I've always had a love of this suit. Both High Grade models were a joy to assemble and the Master Grade Wing Zero was our first attempt at stepping up to the MG world. I couldn't imagine a better suit to be my first MG.
Gundam Build Strike
The High Grade Build Strike was a challenging kit for us to build. But, despite the challenge, it turned out great. Build Fighters is a unique series in the Gundam Universe, but I'd encourage any new builder to give it a watch and to enjoy this great model.

Bonus: The backpack comes off and transforms into a pretty cool space fighter too!
Gundam EX
While Requiem for Vengeance may have been a love it or hate it entry to the Gundam Universe, nobody can deny that the Gundam EX was an imposing mobile suit and represented a great antagonist for the show. Adding this unstoppable suit to our collection was a must and this model kit did not disappoint.
Gundam Aeriel Rebuild
The Witch from Mercury is the first Gundam series that the Nostalgia Family watched together. This amazing model in it's iconic shooting pose was an absolute must for our collection. Though, the original Aeriel is still our favorite model.
Gundam Calibarn
This may be the best High Grade model we've found so far. The Gundam Calibarn is an amazing model with some of the coolest armor shapes and wapon that we have. The massive beam rifle sticks with the witch term from the title and looks like a giant broomstick. And we can't say enough about the rainbow effects on the panels and V-Fin. 10 out of 10!
Guel's Dilanza
This beefy boy has one of the greatest duels from The Witch from Mercury. The Dilanza vs the Aeriel is the hook that pulled me into the series.
The Dilanza's body and enormous beam spear are exceptionally impressive on the shelf next to all all the "normal" suits with their beam swords.
I suggest panel lining it to get the best look possible from this kit.
