Jeffrey Lu, co-founder of Gunpla SA, is bringing joy to model kit - and especially Gundam model kit - fans in South Africa. But what eventually evolved into a business had its beginnings as a creative passion for making.

From art to cosplay to kitbashing, Jeffrey expresses his love for anime through creation but keeps a strong focus on developing the hobby and building a vibrant fan community around it.

Through Gunpla SA, Jeffrey is also determined to develop the Gunpla hobby to a point where South Africa can qualify for the Gunpla World Championships held in Japan.

We also chat Digimon and VHS Tapes, the first wave of anime, as well as working for one of the only anime speciality stores in South Africa.
