1/100 Astrea Type F unpainted review

damn your collection is even more than mine :twitch: :bow:

Amazing collection there!

If u would believe it i have more than u lol.. just not that bitchin display case. wish i had that to show off my fortune spent on these things.:heh:

eh...really wish you didn't quote the images

Otherwise, to say that's a A LOT doesn't illustrate the magnitude of what you have. I notice you have duplicates of models, any particular reason why?

that collection is bloody amazing!!!

did u paint some of those?

Holy cow! How did you afford all of those?

@lightning zero/red wing
thanks guys! :)

@akyra
thanks mate! to be honest i went bargain hunting (retiring modelers/collectors) on most of these items since restarting with 1/100s last year, most were already snapbuilt from the get go :)


@duotiga
thanks man! i appreciate the props :)
just fortunate to get some good deals from peers last year to jumpstart my collection

@derringer
thanks bro! kind of addicted with gunpla recently, esp MGs :)
most of the duplicates are from bargain/package deals i got, since they were selling their kits in sets :)

@meehlimo
thanks bro and kudos with your collects! i guess whats gratifying about kit collecting is they are always there for our viewing pleasure, unlike other consumable hobbies out there :)

@fujima
thanks man! well appreciated! :)

@kk2extreme
thanks!
some of them were already painted upon acquisition from the previous owner, while some plain snapbuilt et al :)
i might try to paint them slowly but surely though, but time is hard to come with all the work :(

@meeses
thanks bro!
just got good deals on most items :)


thanks everyone, the rest of my photo catalog can be found here and here
there are a lot more collectors there with better collections than mine :)
see you soon! :)

Which are the ones that you have built and which is your most satisfied pieces?

To be honest, your collection may be plentiful but still fall far-short of the really crazy ones i have seen before. What is probably more interesting is to know which are the ones you have really placed working ur hands dirty on.

Those model kits are fairly cheap in Asian countries compared to North American countries. For example I can get a first edition Force Impulse for the equivalent of USD 34, tax and shipping included.....

Prices aside (I assume you are from the Philippines where Gunpla is cheaper than N.A.), that's a very impressive collection you got, just imagine the time you put into building all of them and the cost of that display case. I had one custom build to 1/3 the size of your's and it cost me a fortune....

building material is alos way cheaper in Asia. For home decorating (tiles, curtains, glass...) usually 1/8th the price. I am pretty sure meehlimo is from flip since his forum is called pinoygundam ^^

alos seems like he has few fix

Thanks to Lotus' pics I kinda got inspired to buy the Hrairoo, Altron Gundam and Deep Striker :] Sheesh... My wallet was prepared for MG Freedom, but now... :P

@trowa
thanks bro! as ive said before there are much better collections than mine out there :)
since ive started middle of last year most of em were acquired from resale (retiring collectors)

most of my works are in the top gallery, which are so far around 20% of them
although i will try to gradually work my way up restoring the others :)


@jackrydden/astrana
much thanks guys! :)
correct, its fairly cheaper over here due to our proximity to Japan, less shipping costs. :)
although proportions wise, cost of hobby financing-to cost of living ratio is still far better for those abroad, ive seen most of our pg/gt colleagues who work abroad- esp those on the US- easily afford more stuff :)

@sir dearka
thanks sir! just wanted to catalog stuff as a hobby ;)
good luck with your next purchases! :)

@Lotur: Holy shit, dude! That's one impressive collection you got there! =) And seeing that you're a flip (I am too =P), you just went up a notch on my list - you're now on the top. ;)

Thanks, Lotur. As usual, my gunpla-buying fever died out before I regretted spending so much money :] I am still pretty sure I'll get Altron, though...

I like the HG Enact Demo color. If it comes with the "evil hand" the Ali Custom had I just might purchase one. :D

@shiro
whoa! thats great to hear pre! :)
thanks for props, really appreciate it! :)



@dearka
you're welcome bro!
co-sign, its always key to never let the hobby control you, it must be vice versa. otherwise regret has a big chance of happening later on. in my case ive been collecting stuff for more than 2 decades and gunpla is another one of those chapters ;)
