It started with a wanting...
I wanted to make a mecha themed line of weapons and accessories for LEGO minifigures. I taught myself 3D design and made everything from scratch. 3 years later, it wasn't working out...
I went back to building gunpla...
I wanted another weapon for my HGUC GPO1 FB. The standard beam rifle it came with just wasn't enough. Then I saw the long barrel beam rifle in the GFF Figure line from the early 2000s. I recognized that rifle. I saw it in a video game: Super Robot Wars Advance, Gundam Encounters in Space and in numerous resin kits. I bought the GFF Figure and decided to remake that gun for my kit. Bandai never made this gun for model kit in ANY GRADE. I started to take measurements and input it into a 3D design software. IT TOOK FOREVER. It was so worth it. I figured that if I really wanted it, others might too.....
Sometime later I saw a facebook post in one of many Gundam groups. Someone posted how much they liked the Machine gun on Jegan Escort (A Rare Premium Bandai Kit). He wanted the gun but didn't want to pay $90 for the kit. So I made it.
Shortly after I decided to make it my mission to make rare items readily available. Then I saw items that were only in 1/100 or 1/144 size. I decided to make that available in both sizes. I saw weapons only available in expensive or rare out of print action figures. I decided to make those widely available too. Then I remembered the old designs I had made that were intended for Lego minifigures 5 or 6 years ago. I updated them to fit model kits too because....why not?
Let's break the barriers of exclusivity, scale, and imagination because as Mejin Kawaguchi says..."Gunpla is Freedom!"
