I hope it doesn't turn out like the other grandpa who made a Zeta out of wood, impressively I might add, only to find his grandchildren are not Gundam fans.

That's one sexy model. And if his grandkids don't appreciate that, they should get slapped in the face.

Just take a moment to admire this! The detail, and the angles. You can definitely see his passion flourish from his design.
