Bandai SD Star Winning Gundam English Manual & Color Guide

SD Star Winning Gundam Construction Manual & Color Guide

From Gundam Build Fighters comes the Star Winning Gundam of Fumina Hoshino that was released as a Super Deformed Kit by Bandai. Initially I thought that with the number of pages in the manual that there was just too much manual for a Super Deformed kit, then I realized that this mecha can transform to "Real Mode", where in takes the shape of a realistic looking Gundam. Really ingenious if you ask me on the part of the designers of this mecha. It's what I refer to as doing a Kawamori *snicker*

MG Gundam Astray Blue Frame D Construction Manual & Color Guide

From Gundam Seed Astray comes the Gundam Astray Blue Frame D of Gai Murakamo. This was released as a 1/100 Master Grade model kit by Bandai. Always loved the design of the Astray's, they remind me of an outdoor sneaker, rough and rugged and always ready for a hike. Then of course there is the homage to Japan's Samurai heritage as evidenced by the design of the head.

Bandai 1/72 Tie Fighter English Manual & Color Guide

Bandai 1/72 Tie Fighter

Released by Bandai in 1/72 scale was the Tie Fighter from the Star Wars franchise. Boy do I remember having a grand of a time driving people nuts by mimicking the sound that the Tie Fighter made whenever I was in Star Wars play mode as a young kid. Something about that sound that just made you think "villain" whenever you heard it.

Bandai 1/48 AT-ST English Manual & Color Guide

1/48 AT-ST Construction Manual & Color Guide

From Bandai comes the AT-ST from the Star Wars franchise. This was released as a 1/48 model kit. I always loved this Imperial Walker, as a kid I remembered asking this for Christmas and never getting it. Not that I'm holding this against my parents...Hahaha. I wrote it on a list and placed it in a Christmas stocking, even addressed it to Santa Claus. What I got for Christmas were candies in lieu of the AT-ST, X-Wing and Millennium Falcon. Kinda funny when I think about it now.
