Anyone here like to build models? More specifically, model kits?
I really like building model kits in my spare time. The building process is pretty fun by itself IMO, not to mention the sense of accomplishment you get after you attach the final piece and take a good look at the finished product. Pretty fuckin' great, man. Also it's my only hobby that gets me away from a computer screen, so there's that.
Most of my model-building time goes to gunpla (building gundam models) since the kits are available in almost every toy store, and they aren't too pricey. I've got a whole cupboard filled with them since I try to buy one kit at least every two months or so. I don't have anywhere to display them though, so they're stuck sleeping in their cardboard coffins for the time being. :<
Other kits I've built that aren't gundams include 2 battleships, a fighter jet, and a castle when I was younger. Lots of fiddly bits on those. >_>
Well anyway, feel free to post your model-building experiences or even pics if you have any.
If you're not that interested in model-building or just can't be bothered to build them, feel free to admire the pics of just my gundam models that I'll post at a different time! because I don't keep the other models with me since they can't be put back in their box when I'm finished with them
Here's two of my favorite models. (Coin's there for scale)

It transforms! Well, sort of. This one's a favorite because it has a lot of superficial parts.

What you see is what you get; nothing transforms, the only detachable parts are its weapons which you can mount on the back and on its hip. I remember it was really fun to build because it has a fuckton of parts, which mostly go on its armor.

Necromancy yay~!
3 hours of building,1 hour of getting distracted and building weapons from another set,and 1 hour of trying to stick tiny stickers from a different set onto tiny places which are not meant for stickers
No thumbs were harmed in the making of this kit
There is a 90% chance the shiny sticker you see did not came from this kit itself
