Like Sproat, I don't "get" Gundam either - but I know a great model when I see
one.  Excellent job all around.  And I love the head, it really seems to have
character - almost seems something is actually behind those eyes looking out.

My only quibble is the 'radar view' pic - shouldn't that shot just be blank?
You know, stealth and all.  ;-)
