Introduction to Voxifate Presents and Episode Theme
00:00:07
Speaker
Hi everyone, my name is Fate. Thanks for dropping by and what exactly are you getting yourselves into? Well, anything and everything in between. Let's talk about life, let's have some friends over, let's talk about hobbies, passions, relationships, all those really good stuff that make life so much more interesting. It's gonna be different every week, so let's see what's on the plate here on Foxy Fate Presents.
What is Gunpla and Why Focus on It?
00:00:42
Speaker
All right, welcome to another episode of Voxifate Presents, a podcast series. And tonight is another special episode because this is going to talk about one of my very favorite hobbies. And unfortunately, I haven't had time to really go dive into it for the past few months, but here's to hoping that this would light a fire with it.
00:01:07
Speaker
Get me to jump into the hobby once more.
Meet the Co-Hosts and Their Gunpla Backgrounds
00:01:11
Speaker
Welcome to Gunpla Origins, the podcast edition. And today I'm with my three awesome co-hosts and I would allow them to just go and introduce themselves to you guys because this is going to be really, really fun. And I'm really very excited. I'm also very grateful to have them on board. So why don't we start with our first co-host, Arthur Teen? The floor is yours.
00:01:37
Speaker
Hi, this is R13Gumpla. I've been in this hobby for a very long time. I have no idea when I started actually. That's it. We'll talk about that. Maybe we can reminisce a little bit more, but thank you very much. R13, there you go. And the next one is Mecha Ron. Hey, how's it going? This is Mecha Ron. Yeah, you can call me Rod, but yeah, I've been in the hobby for
00:02:04
Speaker
ever as well. There's actually a part two and part three on my journey. But yeah, it's been a while since I've been a dog. Yeah. Well, we'll be very excited to hear about the part one and part two right there. Thank you so much. Shall we call you Ron then? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. Ron, thank you so much. And the next one is Mobile Suit Hanger. The Mobile Suit Hanger floor is yours.
00:02:38
Speaker
Hey guys, my name is the Mobile Suit Hanger and I've been in this hobby since 2017.
00:02:45
Speaker
I really got into the hobby in 2017, but I built my very first Gunpla. Okay, somebody wants to say hi. We have a special guest that will nugget. I didn't miss all my intro. I've been in this hobby since 2017. Yay.
00:03:15
Speaker
Alrighty, thank you very much guys. So we have our three co-hosts and this is just the first of many I am hoping and we hope that this is going to have us invite more people eventually.
How Did the Hosts Get Started with Gunpla?
00:03:30
Speaker
But right now it's
00:03:31
Speaker
just the four of us. And today's topic is about Gunpla Origins, where we're going to talk about our journey as Gunpla enthusiasts and talk about where it all began, what inspired us, what got us started in this hobby to begin with. So let's go and ask the folks who have been doing this the longest. So Ron said he's been doing this like since forever. And so does R13, like how long has forever been?
00:04:02
Speaker
For me... Like since you're a kid? Yeah, actually, I got exposed to Gundam because of Gundam Wing back in the Philippines. And after that, I was actually walking from school and I saw this small stand that was selling different knaps, even Gundams. So my first Gundam is actually the God Gundam. Actually, I don't even know... I think it's an actual Bandai, I'm not too sure.
00:04:32
Speaker
And, uh, yeah, it was really small, uh, like it's a one, one 44 scale. Uh, the limbs doesn't, um, doesn't work at all. So yeah. And then when I moved to, uh, Canada, uh, 2004, two years later, um, 2006.
00:04:59
Speaker
I watched Random Seed and after that I just got into the hobby slowly till it became full blown this last 5 years.
00:05:08
Speaker
Or so. Something like that. How bad was it? How bad? How bad did it get? Show us. How bad did it get? We can see some boxes behind you, so we got actual proof, guys. I actually have more underneath. It's bad. It's bad. I'm actually glad we're talking about Gunfla Origins and how not to start the hobby, because that might be scary for someone who's going to start.
00:05:36
Speaker
And you don't want me to unplug this laptop and just show you guys how messy my living room is right now. I got built once in my closet. I'm running out of space. We can take a look at that in another episode. Like how bad of a hoarder you've been since you started the hobby. Oh my. Yeah. A lot of people can relate to that. Thank you. I'm scared right now.
00:06:02
Speaker
Good, good. How about Ron? How about you?
Ron’s Gunpla Addiction During the Pandemic
00:06:05
Speaker
We can see some figures, not as much of a giveaway as R13 has with all of his boxes, but we can still see some... Yeah, you can still see some of his backlogs.
00:06:19
Speaker
How about you? You got me started. Actually, I have the same story as... Actually, I have the same story as R13 here. Just went to the mall and saw some stuff. It started with Gundam Wing and then...
00:06:42
Speaker
Yeah, I do believe my first kit was a G Gundam as well, but the articulating one. Ooh, shade. An articulating one. I believe that's my first kit and then...
00:07:03
Speaker
Actually, being a kid growing up, it's more of like, my dad would buy me toys and instead of like playing with them, I'll disassemble them and then put them together and then I'll break it. And then he started giving me Legos. That's why like, yeah, that's all how that journey started. So he started getting me Gun Plus. And then by the time that we move here to Canada,
00:07:31
Speaker
Yeah, I found some store close by and yeah. There you go. And there are two boxes right there. Actually, this is the small boxes. There's boxes down here. This hub is really just all about collecting boxes, big and small. I don't even want to get to the part of the boxes in this room or outside, so I feel you.
00:08:01
Speaker
Yeah, and then actually, my hobby stopped for a while, especially when I started my wife. And then I got back during this pandemic. And yeah, I saw all of these and those boxes down there in my storage.
00:08:24
Speaker
so I picked them up and I realized like there's not a lot of gun
Current Projects and Community Engagement
00:08:30
Speaker
plus that I can buy so I need to or around that time because like everything's closed so I started doing the stop motion animation just to you know just to stop or just to you know
00:08:46
Speaker
prevent me from buying a Morgan slotting more yeah smart but but but it doesn't help look matter what you do
00:09:04
Speaker
So before anybody starts this hobby, that's a fair warning to anyone. It's hard to stop buying. The addiction. The addiction is real. And I'm sure the mobile suit hanger has a thing or two to add to that as well, right? Welcome to the dark side. Yes, don't fight it. Don't fight it. Just embrace it. Embrace it. Just like I did.
00:09:35
Speaker
How about you, Mobile Suit Hanger? What can you say about that? Okay. Three words. It's your fault. I'm trying to put an instant here. Why is it your fault? Has anybody known yet? It was fate's fault.
00:09:57
Speaker
She got me into this. I'm like a proud mama. Like, I'm so proud. So if you guys are not aware, we were former colleagues. So I was Faith's former supervisor. She directly reports to me before. And I was still in Lipa Batangas. But yeah, and then one day, on my confirmation day as her supervisor, she gave me a gift.
00:10:24
Speaker
It's a 144 strike freedom. I really go way back. I started building Gunplum and I was in elementary.
00:10:47
Speaker
Oh, and I was increasing. Same story with almost all of you guys. So I started with Gundam Wing, of course. So everyone in the Philippines would start with Gundam Wing. But my first Gunpla was a Gundam X kit. It was a no grade 144 leopard destroy. That was my first Gunpla. My mom bought it.
00:11:17
Speaker
And then I think every, well not every month, but every three months she would buy me another Gunpla. So I got the 144 No Grades that we had before. So I also had that God Gundam. God Gundam, Spiegel, Shenlong.
00:11:47
Speaker
Epion, all those classics. So yeah, and then, you know, went to high school, college, and then eventually working and stuff. And then I got back to building Gunpla in 2017. Courtesy of fate. Yes, thank you so much. I'm so proud. I'm an enabler. Yeah, so... How to be an enabler. As for my...
00:12:18
Speaker
As for my boxes, here are my boxes. We're showing boxes now. They're in the display cabinet because we're still pretty much cleaning up here in the new house. But these
Future Plans and Challenges in Gunpla
00:12:34
Speaker
are just, you know, these are just the only ones I have here. I still don't have the stuff back at my mom's house.
00:12:48
Speaker
The stuff back in my mom's house are pretty much the master grades with S. And most of the 144s. That's pretty much my history.
00:13:04
Speaker
There you go. Thank you so much, the Mobile Suit Hanger. And I'm so proud that I had a hand in that. Because I think we started pretty much at the same time. Like maybe I'm just like a few weeks ahead and starting the hobby in 2017.
00:13:22
Speaker
Yeah, we pretty much started our YouTube channels almost like in the same few months, I guess. So yeah, so that's where it began for, I guess, both of us. But in my case, well, everybody's mentioning Gundam Wing and I honestly haven't even seen the series yet. So I'm pretty bad.
00:13:47
Speaker
That was for me, so don't worry, I'll get to that guys. I saw God damn seed when I was younger.
00:13:54
Speaker
can't remember it anymore though. So that's my very first brush with the Gundam universe, Gundam seed. And then what got me into building is, well, a few of my trainees were into it, like very much into it. And at that time, I wasn't aware that they were actual founders of the
00:14:17
Speaker
botanghis, gunpla, builders, club or well community here. So I was very fortunate enough to get to know them and in going into the hobby it's very similar to what Ron experienced. So obviously I'm a girl.
00:14:34
Speaker
But my dad probably thought that, hey, I really want a son. So I'd be giving you gifts like a toy car, remote control, helicopters, which I would gladly disassemble and eventually break. So just like Ron, I had that history. So I had a thing with building and rebuilding stuff.
00:14:54
Speaker
So being given the opportunity to build a kit with actual instructions and not aiming to destroy it, because I'm curious, is something that has really opened me up to a world of possibilities with the Gundam plastic models that we
00:15:15
Speaker
get into. But quite recently, well, when I started back in 2007, I would just buy anything that strikes my fancy. Like, oh, that looks nice. I'm going to buy that. Like, I like this. But the very, very first kit was the very first thing that I built. And I said that this is going to be my like my entry drug. So if I get to build this properly, I'd buy another one. It was a petite bear, a green petite bear. That's the first one I built.
00:15:42
Speaker
I built in like a few hours. So I said, I think I can do this. And so I graduated to Infinite Justice. That's a very, very first one. High grade, master grade. High grade. It started with high grade. So yeah, like I even started with the starter kit, the CNET starter kit. I'm not sure you're familiar with this set of... That's not actually a legit brand.
00:16:10
Speaker
I know it's not legit brand but yeah so it's like a starter kit but it's available so that's what I got and I had no idea about what to use for filing and polishing and I'm practically destroying the plastic with the metal files that came with the
00:16:30
Speaker
starter kits. I was like, that's not a very good start. So nub marks are always going to be there. But yeah, so I had no idea with what grade to stick with, what series or lineups to collect. I just bought what I liked and eventually
00:16:52
Speaker
The whole community has been very helpful in guiding me along the way, so pretty much I started collecting series-based. Like, I think the most successful one I've got is Iron Blooded Orphans. But that's just because somebody gave me a set.
00:17:09
Speaker
Just lucky when it comes to that. And yeah, so I'm still building, but I want to, I wanted to focus on waifus this year. So you got your, my Sarah mobile doll. I haven't even started with those things, but yeah, I don't think this is going to stop anytime soon. I can't show you the boxes because it's outside, luckily.
00:17:36
Speaker
But we can always flex that in another episode because I think it's also going to be very helpful to explain what these grades we are talking about in terms of any new listeners or watching or listening just to get more information about the hobby before they jump right into it. We can probably talk about that as well.
00:18:03
Speaker
Yeah, so since we heard about the journey, or where we started, so where do you see yourself? It sounds like an interview question. Where do you see yourself? Where do you see this going? In your position. Yeah, I know. It's like, what do you call this? I can't shake it off.
00:18:26
Speaker
It's like a job interview. I know, it's like a job interview. Alright, so we know where we started and I'm pretty sure nobody plans on stopping, right? Show of hands, no plans on stopping. So, yep, more boxes to collect, guys. Well, it depends, maybe hiatus, but not going to start, of course.
Exploring New Gunpla Skills and Community Growth
00:18:49
Speaker
Yeah, hiatus, I certainly feel you. Like this year, the only one that I've built so far is my Z-Gawk and it took me
00:18:57
Speaker
Five months? Oh my god, that's so shameful. Five months. It's like the very first kit I started with in January, and I just finished it like two weeks ago. What's your latest work? I guess it's one thing that we want to also explore. What's the latest thing that you've built? Well, because you had a lot of stuff to do at work.
00:19:18
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, lots of stuff. Yeah. And that's another thing. How about you guys? So let's start with our 13. What's your latest project? My latest project right now is the real grade society that they received from my sponsor.
00:19:41
Speaker
Wow. I think that's a Sinanju. Oh yeah, Sinanju. My bad. I forgot the call. It's red. They look similar, I mean. Yeah. And I just... I really do enjoy building this unit, but it actually has its problems. Oh no. Yeah. This part here, the waste connector.
00:20:06
Speaker
If I do a shake test right now, it's gonna fall off. Holy crap. And there's a lot of nubs as well, and certain parts just fall off. I still enjoy building this.
00:20:24
Speaker
So that's my latest build. I'm sure we'll see a full review of that in your videos. And by the way, guys, everybody in this, all my co-hosts, every one of us has a YouTube channel and we would really appreciate your support. Maybe you could check it out because each Gundam Builder has their different styles. We also explore certain different things like most people dive into customization, painting and modification for some. I don't know. Do we kit that?
00:20:53
Speaker
as well. Does anybody explore that? Yep. Good. I have not had the heart to do Kit Bash just yet, but who knows, we can graduate to that level someday. But yeah, so like, R13 here has sponsors, like, oh my goodness, such a big time. Just a small one. He's a friend of mine from Montreal, he runs his own shop.
00:21:18
Speaker
And yeah, I met him during 2017. We clicked right away. And he's a really great guy. I really like working with him. And so I fully promote his business online through all my social medias and my groups. What's the name of the shop? Be sure to give it a shout out. Give it a shout out. Well, OK. Permission from the boss lady here. It's actually called SciSci Anime Montreal. Go for it.
00:21:48
Speaker
So if I animate Montreal. Yeah, and in exchange for that, we'll also get Sinanjo kits, right?
00:22:00
Speaker
He's suddenly coughing. I got you into trouble there. We'll do a proper shout out later. Please give us the links. I promise I'll put it in the description and please support their shop as well. So yeah. Okay, I'm back.
00:22:24
Speaker
Extra points for making our team nervous.
00:22:28
Speaker
Thank you so much. Yeah, I promise we'll put that in the description and we're very happy that you have your sponsors and who knows, maybe someday we'd get our own as well. Definitely. It's all about, sorry, last part is it's all about being able to click with the people and getting to know the businesses themselves. It's like you can actually tell right away if they are
00:22:55
Speaker
Like, really great people. I actually met some of them, and for this guy here, his name is Lou. When I first met him, he's just really great. He is happy all the time. He enjoys, he's a collector as well. It's like, one of the first items I got from him is actually I purchased it online. It's like through Facebook Marketplace. That's how I ended up meeting the guy, actually. And then when I went to Montreal, it's like, yeah, there's his job.
00:23:24
Speaker
in that convention beside the GBWC and I think I purchased maybe more than 10 kits from him alone. Wow. I set aside budget for that purpose. I was only there for three days, four days. 10 at a time.
00:23:47
Speaker
No, just kidding. Well, that's my part there. That sounds pretty reasonable. Ten kids? Have you gotten more than that? Have you gotten more in one purchase?
00:24:05
Speaker
My max is probably six. That's probably like my maximum. Pretty modest. Yeah, my maximum purchase is true. Hobby League Japan over 20 kits. Oh my goodness. Wow. That's quite a record. I think because if you buy in bulk,
00:24:27
Speaker
from hobby link japan i think it's cheaper yeah it's gonna save you more money no i don't know i haven't ordered from hobby link japan me neither i haven't tried it i i don't want to open that can of worms
00:24:45
Speaker
Let's talk about that at a later time. But yeah, thank you for sharing your latest project and your sponsor, which we will properly describe or properly mention in our description. But what about Rod? How about you? What's your latest project?
Creative Gunpla Endeavors: Animations and Custom Builds
00:25:01
Speaker
My current project right now is my stop motion animation. Yes. The Infinite Justice. It's an HD way.
00:25:11
Speaker
I saw your preview, oh my god, it's like the stop-motion guy right there. Amazing work, definitely. That's what I'm building right now, but at the same time, you were just mentioning about kit bashing. I have a side project here, this has been almost a year now. My Zaku.
00:25:37
Speaker
So all I'm doing is adding just small details because if you build this kit, it's all smooth. There's not much panel lines. So I was adding that. Let's see if I can take it out. And then...
00:25:55
Speaker
I just put small details. I don't know if you can see it here. If you see the shield here, it's all plain, but I just added like two more details there. And then a little bit of detail at the back. Yeah, so something that I recommend for those having kit bash to do.
00:26:16
Speaker
It hurts. Especially if you don't know what you're doing, but once you get the groove of it, then it's just a wonderful feeling. Especially when you start painting it, priming it, and then do those all jazz. That works.
00:26:40
Speaker
And then, yeah, pretty much those two. And then I got a few projects that I've been lining up. But right now, in terms of how my current work in progress is, is that I'm trying to build more on my community on Twitch.
00:27:03
Speaker
So I've noticed there's a lot of builders on Twitch. It's a very small community. I actually get the chance to meet people from the US and even the Philippines. There's a lot of streamers there who build Gunpla. But at the same time, I'm trying to figure out how to connect everyone. Pretty much everyone that watches one streamer to another
00:27:32
Speaker
you'll see the same people. It's just like, you know, you go some you go to someone's house and then after you go to the other person's house. So yeah, something that I'm trying to build as well. And yeah, beyond plastic models, I'm also doing some graphic designs on shirt designs, Gundam shirt designs.
00:28:01
Speaker
You plan to sell it as like merch or sell your designs, have them printed. There's actually a few that I'm right now selling, like on Redbubble.
00:28:13
Speaker
Oh, okay. Please drop that link in our, well, send me all those links so that we could properly mention them in the description. This is how we can help each other as well and really strengthen the community. I like how you mentioned that and exploring, not just the YouTube community or, well, Instagram, because those are probably the most mainstream, but Twitch. I tried to explore Twitch at one time, but I get, I get technically challenged sometimes. Yeah.
00:28:43
Speaker
Yeah, so the Tita in me is unleashed, so we'll see. But yeah, thank you. Thank you for those projects that you've mentioned. I'm sure they're excited about seeing how it all goes, especially the stop motion was. I really am in love with how those turn out because I know how much effort, how much time is invested in it. So really great job. Thank you, Ron. How about you, Mobile Suit Hanger? What are you working on?
00:29:12
Speaker
So I just dismantled my strike dagger, the dagger L. So we're working on some details. And I'll probably prime this tomorrow. This is going to be another custom project.
00:29:41
Speaker
wait for me so I have this third party backpack that I'm planning to use for the kit bash so doesn't hurt as much if it's a third party yeah well it's an add-on so I got this from Shopee can't mention the shop because I'm not sponsored by Shopee
00:30:08
Speaker
Very straight. Sponsor me if you... If you want to be mentioned, yeah. Yes, absolutely. So, yeah, I'm working on the Dagger L. The H-G-C-E Dagger L. Because I was just... I was just binge-watching Gundam Seed Destiny. So... That's why... Okay, screw it. I'm gonna start my... I'm gonna start working on the Dagger L.
00:30:36
Speaker
And we'll look forward to that. Do you plan to paint it a super different color than originally? What it was originally? That's what I'm planning to do, actually. But actually, I'm still thinking if I would finish it first. Because I'm pretty much sure you guys are aware of the death of
00:31:04
Speaker
Mr. Miura, the author of Berserk. And if you guys are familiar with the manga, it's a really, really nice manga. And it got me really hooked into that. It's a really great story. It's a dark story, actually. But it's really emotionally stressful. And then he died without even finishing the manga. And then someone commented if I could make a custom gun club as a tribute to
00:31:35
Speaker
I'm still thinking. I have a Barbados that I'm planning to repaint and re-customize. That's in the pipeline probably.
00:31:51
Speaker
Nice, nice. Thank you very much for sharing that. As for me, I am not sure what to build just yet. Because, well, now that you've mentioned that you've all had your hand in building your God Gundam kits, I have one sitting around. Because I've already built the Nobels. The two Nobels. It's like the love team. I don't know. That universe for Gundam Pla, so...
00:32:19
Speaker
Really, actually. Really? What? Go for it. The protagonist, Domon, his love interest is Raine. And she's the pilot of the rising Gundam. Not the noble. Nobel is... I forgot the pilot. Interesting. What's her name? Neo-Sweden. Yeah, Neo-Sweden. Yeah.
00:32:48
Speaker
and uh she has a Japanese school girl outfit uh Gundam so I don't know why... Sailor Moon Sailor Moon Gundam Since I love Sailor Moon I cannot remember the name oh my gosh I'm not ah shame on me don't worry we are not getting this but it's uh but it's the god Gundam and uh rising gun
00:33:15
Speaker
I should probably build the God Gundam, because it's gathering dust since I ordered it. And it would be really nice. Is this a Master Grade or...? No, it's just a PG, a High Grade. Yeah, so it's best to pose with my two Nobels. We shall see. You can use the... There's some effects or hand parts from the Nobels. Yeah, they're included. I saved those. And you can recreate that scene.
00:33:46
Speaker
We shall see and I will need your help in posting posing those because you know me in chair I've been doing this for a few years now, but I think is everything I know
00:34:02
Speaker
I am not an expert and I think that's also something that we can explore here. There are so many things to explore to talk about when it comes to the hobby and I'm just really glad that I am with these awesome hosts, co-hosts that know so much about the community, the hobby and everything that has to do with it because
00:34:24
Speaker
Me, I'm just in for the fun of building, really.
Conclusion and Encouragement to Explore Gunpla
00:34:28
Speaker
It's a great way to relieve stress and meet awesome people just like you guys. Yay! I really hope that this is something that we can continue and
00:34:41
Speaker
I am very grateful that we were able to start this first episode. And for everyone who is listening again, each one of us have our YouTube channels and some other social media handles that we would really appreciate your support in. We also want to give a big shout out to the Pinoy Gunpla YouTube community, which is where we practically all met. So yeah, great big shout out to everybody.
00:35:11
Speaker
Yes, PGY, and I want to give a shout out to James Barillo, who had a message in my Instagram for Foxyfade Presents, so great big shout out. It's not the end of the livestream, but definitely you'll hear it in the video that we'll be uploading too.
00:35:29
Speaker
YouTube so There it is guys That's a brief history of why and how we started and practically where it led us to this moment what we are building or not building or doing as a side project still related to Gunpla and I guess one thing to remember is that there's gonna be more boxes in our future more paint
00:35:56
Speaker
More stuff to create and so before we wrap it up for This first episode of the gun podcasts gonna call it gun podcast If you have to call it with let me know
00:36:15
Speaker
Gun podcast. We'll figure it out, guys. It's the first episode. You'll find out very soon whatever is displayed in the title. But it's been great. Any of you, parting words before we end our session for today. Let's start with R13. I really enjoyed this podcast. Let's keep on doing this on a weekly basis.
00:36:43
Speaker
Yes. And we'll see other areas in your house with more boxes. Okay. Yeah, sure. Maybe. It depends on you. Once it's your time to host, then go for it. Go all out. Thank you so much. I already get the lock cable ready. Oh, there you go. That's in preparation. Great job. Thank you so much. Thank you. And have a run.
00:37:10
Speaker
Yeah, this is actually fun. I never get the chance to really talk to on my streams. It's just me talking. It's nice to see actual people talking. And yeah, get into the hobby. It's fun. It's relaxing. And join the community. A lot of people are great. A lot of people are very helpful.
00:37:36
Speaker
and you know, to improve your skills. Yeah. That's true. Keep on building, keep on improving your skills. And the mobile suit hanger, go for it. Yeah. There we go. Such wise words, such wise words.
00:38:01
Speaker
Yeah, just like what I always say in the description boxes or whenever I share my YouTube videos, just keep building. It's a really great hobby. It has health benefits. I read an article, it prevents Alzheimer's disease. Yes. One more reason to keep building. One more reason to buy or build
00:38:30
Speaker
That's a good excuse. That's a good excuse. Yes, you need to tell our loved ones. Print that document. Print it. To build more, it's for your sanity for this really challenging times. And don't be afraid to try out new skills, try to explore.
00:38:55
Speaker
Let's say if you're afraid of kit bashing, just get built kits. There are a lot of people who are selling built kits. I mean, they're cheaper and don't get hurt. Don't cause your heartaches. Yeah, your kits. But anyway. So yeah, thank you so much for having me here. Looking forward to our next podcasts.
00:39:22
Speaker
Yay, me too. Thank you so much, guys. And I really am very excited to start editing and start uploading our very first episode together. It is fun. I think we could go on and on talking about so many different aspects about the build, but it's great to take it one at a time and start from the beginning. And this is only the beginning, hopefully, and we have more to go.
00:39:47
Speaker
And again, I want to give a great big shout out to the communities that we are part of. You know, I Gunpla YouTubers, in my case, Bethangus, Gunpla Builders, the Gundemizers, right? These are the key communities that have really made a very big impact in my personal growth as I
00:40:05
Speaker
a Gunpla builder and yeah don't be afraid to explore learn new techniques and this is I guess one of the main reasons why I missed the conventions that we had because it's like the interaction is what we miss in like learning from each other like how did you do that and just asking the person but for now since we have these limitations with the current state that the world is in it's still great to have the support of the community and
00:40:34
Speaker
learn from each other. So this is not the last that you'll see us. There's definitely going to be a next time, and we'll explore more things about the hobby. Getting the plastic models, building our community, and really getting our message out there that this hobby is good for you. So thank you very much for listening to another episode of Foxy Fate Presents. We'll see you again next time, and thank you guys! Say bye!
00:41:04
Speaker
Bye! See you again!
