For fun - "Moose"

Hello all. This is my first try at a gundam type character. I think you call these gundam at least (sorry not sure). Anyway, I normally build aircraft and saw this in the hobby shop and thought it would be fun. I cut off the snap parts and made it a gluer, repainted parts randomly how I felt, and used some spare p-51 and p-47 decals. It was a lot of fun and I will definitely try another one of these. Let me know your thoughts - good or bad (always looking to learn new stuff...)

Very nice. Now go buy a Gundam kit that isn't Super Deformed and make it look 'realistic'. Cool [8D]

Thanks guys. I have to admit the temptation is to try out a few gundam kits now. I think they would be a lot of fun. If only I can get through a few of my airplane kits first...<img src="/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" />

Haha.

5/5 in my opinion. Really cute and I like the custom color of it.

Should try thoes skills on a real kit, in other words, a 1/144 or 1/100 gundam. Smile [:)]
