[Customer Showcase #15] Modeling Without Limits: Custom Pink Sakura Gundam

Modeler: Macross Model Builder’s daughter

Comment from her father:

Custom Sakura flower themed Gundam with cherry blossom decals and added unique decals. “Sakura 0204” is featured on the wings in block letters (her birthday 😊) along with a scorpion insignia from my Macross VF-11 build 😂.

This was her first gundam build. With some initial guidance, she built it, panel lined it with non toxic homemade panel liner, designed it and applied the decals (I helped her with the lettering on the wings to ensure they were straight). She also helped to film and pick the music for her video reveal on the Macross Model Builder social media pages. I clear coated it for her to ensure that her work was preserved and had minimal streaks :). For some of the photos, the Sakura Gundam is housed in her younger brother’s custom unique Gundam hangar diorama nightlight that I built with him. Proud dad :)
Check out these photos of the Gunpla crafted by the daughter of @Macross Model Builder—who had the honor of being our very first feature on the Customer Showcase page! Believe it or not, she’s only 12 years old.
The intricate decal placement and detailed panel lining are handled with such meticulous care, and her choice of layout reflects a wonderfully free and creative spirit—something we adults so easily forget. This cherry blossom-colored Gundam looks absolutely fantastic!

A big thank you to Macross Model Builder’s daughter for these wonderful photos!
