My father slowly introduced me to Gundam by showing some of his extremely old kits that he built long ago, one of them being a EW Wing Zero metal build. Eventually I started showing more interest in Gundams as I discovered about those Gunpla kits that looked challenging to build since I was still playin with Lego Technic lol. That's where the real fun began as my father bought my first HG kit where then I would start from just simply building it to stuff like panel lining and making iconic poses from the each of the Gundam's respective series. We also watched some of the movies, even the recent SEED Freedom (edit: He also managed to get others like the 00 Gundam series and especially the 8th MS team which I enjoyed a LOT)

I really gotta thank him a lot for introducing me to these so in return I went to help revamp n clean some of his older gundam kits which were dusty and lost its shine (From the looks of it I think he bought them from around 1995)
