MS-07B Gouf (2000)

I was young and did not have any of the tools I have today.  I was very eager to build my first two kits, and I only had a cheap pair of nippers from a dollar store up the street from me.  I sat the kits on my bed and sat on the floor next to it while completing these two builds.

This didn’t stop me from pulling another all-nighter to build my 2nd gunpla.  I didn’t finish building it in one sitting because of the heat rod and piping, but I worked 12 hours straight before taking a break.  It is the essence of a straight build.

I picked my first two gunpla, intentionally from the original Mobile Suite Gundam series.  The episodes with Amuro and Ramba Ral, in person and in their mobile suits are some of the best in the show.  I wanted to come home from school and work, to see them frozen in combat with each other.
