You buy a Gundam model kit. There are instructions. Thereās art on the box. Thereās the anime. All of this stares you down, giving you something to live up to. Well, screw that.
Earlier this month, a Twitter user uploaded a photo of a customized Gundam model with the hashtag, āFor Gundam Models, Itās Okay To Make Whatever You Want.ā
Japanese website R25 reports that the photo was retweeted over three thousand times, and other model makers followed suit. The result has been pure, uncut Gundam freedom!
