Gundam Exia (Ignition Version)

Yesterday, I stayed up for ~25 hrs in an attempt to recorrect my sleep schedule (no more staying up at night for me, fall break is just about over and more exams at my university are coming up). So, I decided to bust open the box of an old friend who's been sitting in the box on my shelf unassembled for a month or more: Gundam Exia, the Ignition Version. I was extremely impressed with Exia's articulation and flexibility. Probably, one of the best thing about gundam models is the fact that they are extremely poseable. This model is definetly awesome for photo shoots!
What do you like most about gundam models?












the details.. especially the MG... they add a lot of extra detail in the model.. it's cooler than in the anime..
ever thought about giving it panel lines on the kit?
I considered it like I do with all my kits, but with the lack of panels in the mouth piece (seen in most gundam kits) I decided to skip out this time and maintain the sleek look that Exia has straight out of the box.
Gundams looks cool... and many recognize them as soon as they see them.. whether they are anime fans or not ^_^
Actually, recently I had a girl at my university ask me "What's a gundam?" lol.
