Offcourse, when we talk about Gundams and Mobile suits, there is always Gunpla.
Q: Who/what inspired you to start Gunpla building?

Q: Since when did you start Gunpla building?
A: July 2015.
Q: What was your very first kit? Why did you chose that model?
A: SD Gundam 00 Seven Sword/G. It looked cool with all those swords.
Q: Are you an SD fan? What made you fall inlove with SD models?
A: Yes! I love SD! I played plenty of Super Robot Taisen and G-Generation games so the SD style grew on me.
Q: What is your favorite SD kit? Why?
A: For now, I will cheat and say all the SD EX-Standard kits!
Q: So far, how many babies, SD kits do you have?
A: 31!!
Wow, that’s a lot.
Q: And more to come in the future?
A: Yes please!
Q: Talkin’ like a real SD fan! How about a dream SD kit? What would you want it to be? Also, is there a kit that you really want to have?
A: An SD G-Self preferably in the EX-Standard style.
Yeah! Me too! (SD Dude nodding in agreement)
Since we already asked a lot, how about we wrap this up with a message to other SD fanatics?
James:
Virtual high fives to all the SD fans out there.
For you guys who want to try building Gunpla but feel like it’s all a complicated process, don’t be afraid to ask silly questions and just go for it. In no time you will go from snap building kits to painting and customizing. Have fun!
And thank you also Mr. James Andrew Ong for letting us know you. Keep buildin’!! And more love for SD!!
Every month, we will be featuring a fellow SDnatic!! Those whose love for SD Gunpla go way beyond… If your one of us, or knows someone who is, just let me know.
Till the next kit,
SD Dude
