I always have been a big fan of Robotech as a kid. My unklel bought a Tomahawk kit when I was 8 years old, and ended up giving it to me. I played with it so long till everything on it was broken.
22 years later I saw that Wave was bringing this kit to live and I instantly orderd it without even thinking for a second.The kit is the size of a HG Gundam kit but has the price of a MG kit, which IMO is a bit much.
It has a bit of a awkward face to it because it looks like a smiling frog imo. The build was very easy and I didn't feel like moding it.
I worked on the O for about 4 months now and really wanted to do some airbrushing. I started on the tomahawk, so I would keep my cool on the O. I used the Hairspray method I learned about on DC23s blog and airbrushed it with some khaki and dessert yellow.
At the end this kit came out much better than I thought it would.

Ex-S Gundam
The Ex-S Gundam is by far the most complicated kit I have done to date. It has 580 parts and was the first modified gundam that I finished.
I still don't know why I decided to make my first mods on a kit so hard, but I when I look at it now, I think that it did pay off. I made 193 pla-platings for it and added another 394 Kotobukiya parts. It took me 6 months to make this kit.
I am currently entering this kit for the First Euro Gunpla cup 2011.

Ms-18E Kämpfer
The Kämpfer is a older bandai MG kit and therefore not as complex as the newer MG kits, still the disign is very unique in the MG series.
For this kit I wanted to try out what i could do with masking.
I airbrushed it with a buff and then cutout some masking tape, applied it to the model, and Sprayed it with a Buff/Khaki-Mix. After taking the tape off i added another layer of Buff to blend the color.

Tieren Ground Type
The Tieren Ground Type, I got mainly because I liked the design and it goes for about 2000 yen.
Which was a good price espacially if your wallet is not carrying enough money.
It is a very nice NG kit . I added a LED to it, which is always a nice feature on a kit IMO.
I also wanted to do a bit of weathering and this seemed the right kit to do so.

ZGMF-X56S/ß Sword Impulse Gundam
The Sword Impulse Gundam was the Third Gundam MG kit i got in 2009 but the first kit I finished.
I got this after I had the Hi-V Gundem 70% finished and loved it so much that I could not stop working on it.
I was still intimidated, by how amazing these kit are I only did a straigt build on this aswell.
I used Tamiya paints and Mr.Hobby paints.

RX-93-V2 Hi-V Gundam
The Hi-v Gundam was the Second Gundam MG kit i got back in 2009.
I did not try to do anything special with it because I was overwhelmed of the amount of parts and how complicated this thing was for me to build.
I only did a straight built on this. I Airbrushed it with Tamiya paints.

New Wallpaper
Hi guys,
I just finished my new Wallpaper for the MAC-forum. The idea came from a picture I saw from the Movie Sucker Punch. I did not see the Movie but the pictures I have seen so far have a very nice artistic style. I instantly feel in love with this particular one showing the heroine of the film jumping to what seems like the final strike.
The Wallpaper, for me, is a picture of how far I have come since I started gunpla.
Because the Exia is the first gundam I ever built and the O the last one that i have made.
Between those two kids I built the dio that you can see in the background.
Trivial: It took me 2 years to finish that dio but manly because I was lazy and I was occupied building so much gunpla.
