gundam 2: the gundamning

I mentioned ordering my first ever gunpla model kit a couple of weeks ago in a glog post and yesterday it arrived!

So far, I've spent around three or four hours meticulously cutting pieces of plastic out from the sheets (I think they're called "gates") and carefully trimming away any plastic nubs with a craft knife. This much commitment has provided me with a torso, a head, and one arm.

I'd say I'm definitely hooked. It's a very pleasant high-focus activity that my distraction-riddled brain is craving. It's also very easy to put down at any point and pick back up, so being interrupted is not particulary annoying, unlike something that requires a lot of engagement like making music, playing a game or similar.
