Every Christmas, my Dad used to go super hard on
decorating the house. Mostly on the
first floor, we’d have lights, figures, Nativity scenes, villages, and, of
course, the tree. Since his passing, it’s
been kind of hard figuring out how to fill that void, honor his holiday memory
and try to carve my own Holiday Decorating path. Well this year, I decided to try something
different. Someone a while back, maybe
even last Christmas, asked me about whether or not I could use my Gunpla as
Christmas Ornaments on a tree? The
thought stuck with me and when I was breaking out the army of Christmas
decorations I had in storage, I looked at one of those smaller trees and thought,
“Wow it would be so cool to put my GM Sniper in one of those branches like it’s
waiting to pick off a Zaku.” And thus,
The Gunpla Tree was Born.
Honestly, I just grabbed whatever Gunpla was on myself
for this and this tree is very much a rough draft for future endevors.
Some models were a must like the Mighty
Strike Freedom as the Angel at the top of the tree and the aforementioned GM
Sniper lying in wait (couldn’t get it to lay down flat so opted for a sitting
position.
Everyone else on the tree is
randomized, though I did try to include at least one from most of the main
series.
Balancing them on branches wasn’t
too difficult and so far, no one has fallen down, points to me.
Better yet, another friend made a suggestion
to me that I’m definitely going to invest in for next year.
He saw I’d placed a couple of SD Gundams on
the tree and wondered what a full tree of them would look like…you can see
where this is going.
Anyway, just wanted to share this special little present
of Gunpla magic from the Gundam Anime Corner.
Expect a new tree adventure Christmas 2025 and be on the lookout for
more Gunpla Builder episodes coming in 2025 as well.
Happy Holidays Everyone from the Gundam Anime Corner.
