Member Zyuan shows us his Gundam collection - a load of GFF and kits. In the larger version you can spy some figures too. I must get back into Gunpla!

Original text from zyuan below.

Hello everyone. How about a little Gundam motivation to kick off the new year? I've started a giveaway on my blog. Whoever can come up with the best motivational poster using their Gundam models/figures will win a 1/144 Gundam Rasiel. You can check out all the little details on my blog. i'll answer questions here as well.

Don't know what's a motivational poster? Here's an example.

Good luck to all who wants to participate! May the biggest LOLZ wins! Thanks Danny for approving this post ^^.

I can come close to the model kit boxes, but I certainly can't beat the GFF tower ! Darn, those are expensive! Ha,ha,ha that's very nice though, a sign that you're a very focused and devoted person!

And good luck to those who are joining the contest, as you all know I have ZERO photography skills and I have VERY shaky hands ^^:
