I missed this post the other day. I love building bandai's Star Wars and gunpla model kits. I don't often get the opportunity to get one, so I've only built a few over the years, but always looking forward to building more when I can. My very first kit is probably my most interesting/unique. A 7-Eleven themed classic gundam that afaik was only sold in 7-Eleven stores in Japan, which I built many years ago, before I ever got into watching the series.

The past couple years, I finally started watching the series and I love it. I'm in a similar camp, I've been watching the series chronologically, so I'm also mostly only familiar with UC, and only just starting to venture outside of it (finished G gundam, started Wing). I've built two more since getting into the series properly. Sorry bad lighting/photo quality on these ones. First was Kamille's Mk II in Titans colors:

and most recently a Zaku II, which was my first RG kit. This one is currently unfinished, still needs decals and I never built accessories:

After building the green Zaku, I'd love to make Char's red Zaku next as well. I'm also glad you posted pictures of the hyaku-shiki, that was also a kit I was looking at potentially getting, but I really wasn't sure how the metallic gold plastic would look outside of the promotional pictures. I was afraid it might look tacky/cheap, but it actually looks pretty good.
