I’m keeping my promise and continuing Garbage Time. There are a bunch of other models I’d like to build before the High Grade Strike Freedom, but it’s important to me that I try to stick to my guns.
This is a milestone moment for me (for some definition of “milestone”). It is a rare example of me building a model of a mobile suit I’m not familiar with, from a show I’ve never watched. I don’t like doing this, because it makes the build feel too arbitrary. Sure, I have a huge (and still growing) collection of model kits already, but I like the fact that I can take any one of them down off the shelf and tell you its whole history. It matters to me that this hobby is a genuine passion, and not something I do in order to get a temporary high from snapping pieces of plastic together.
