I got into building Gunpla after watching Gundam and following some Gunpla YouTubers. My favorite Gundam show is Iron-Blooded Orphans (IBO for short). I love it for the message it carries and the brutal honesty of its story. It’s a dark anime about child soldiers, and it really stuck with me.

My very first kit was the Barbatos Lupus Rex, followed by the Kimarus Vidar. Since then, I’ve built over ten kits—and I even have a backlog (though nothing compared to my friend’s backlog of over 40 kits!). For me, Gunpla is a creative outlet. I build, paint, and even add LEDs whenever I can.
