Build It Again Meme Gundam GP01Fb Full Burnern

This has always been something has bugged me. The Gundam on the left I received as a birthday present over a decade ago.  At the time I received it I didn't know what I really had. I saw it as giant war robot that required a little bit of assembly, Once I got tired of looking at instructions I "sent it off to war". It was never really fully built. That really bugged me when I found what was left of it while I was moving a couple of years ago. I looked down at it and then at the shelf full of gundam model kits that I had completed since I started building models and I felt bad that it never really had it's chance to shine.

So when I run across the same gundam while spring breaking in Florida, I had to get it. Granted there is a certain degree of difference between the models themselves, the one on the right is a 1/144 scale real grade and the one on the left is 1/100 who knows what grade, but it means the same to me. I feel like was able to breathe a little life back in old friend.
