Gift ideas for a gundam enthusiast?

June 11, 2015 10:30 AM

A co-worker is getting over an illness, and it would be neat for him to receive a gift at the office when he gets back. He loves assembling model gundams. What related sort of gift could we get him? I don't want to just pick out a gundam for him, because I know tastes are particular...

Just get him a set of Gundam Markers. A Gundam model kit bulider can never have too many of those.

Gundam variants e.g. beargguy 3?

A headlamp? I have this one from Fenix. It's great for crafting and a million other uses.

Any modelmaker likes good tools, or gift cards to a store for models or tools.
If there is a local hobby shop, or something big online (like http://www.micromark.com/)

Tools. Or some of those Builders Parts option packs, they're fun to mess with. Or an SD (superdeformed) kit, they're weird and fun regardless of what series/style of models one usually builds.

Buy him a couple "SD (superdeformed)" Gundams for his cubicle.
