Welcome distractions - Gundam from a Gashapon

My daughter gifted me with one of the items she got from the Bandai Gashapon in the nearby mall. We sort of hit the jackpot when we realized that the capsule contained a miniature Gundam for assembly. My daughter was more interested in the kawai items than stuff like this. I think she just remembered I like Gundam so she got a capsule for me.

Close-up of the Gundam to be assembled. I enlarged the photo for me to refer to as I assembled the toy.

The components were compressed inside the capsule and there was no guide or instruction so I had to figure out how to put everything together. Fortunately, I've done this before with other models that I collected while I was a student in Japan.

The almost finished product - I still have to assemble the wings and weapons. 

For some reason, I want to try our luck again soon. Maybe we'll be lucky again to get another Gundam? Meanwhile, these projects are a welcome distraction from the usually busy schedule.
