That is so cool! I could hear the metallic grating sound of the stargate in my head while watching your rotation test!

Watching your build progress has been so satisfying! I might have to go back and watch the movie again!

If you're looking to add more to your collection, I'd recommend scouring Yahoo Japan auctions. The only thing is that you'll need to use a proxy like Buyee or Jauce

Absolutely outstanding!

The base was part of one of the special editions, it also had a clear outer hull panel for the hangar and the engine room. The base is pretty much a Gundam base, which is nice as it‘s a bit more stable than the regular cradle base
