The one that got me I to Gundam was Wing Zero from Endless Waltz, so I have a huge soft spot for that one. Other ones I really love are Unicorn, Barbatos, and GP-01.
Outside Of Gundam, I like Laevatein from Full Metal Panic, the designs of the Flight Units from Nier Automata, and GaoGaiGar.
Really looking forward to Armored Core 6!
Sprites are at the bottom right of the menu! :D
A fine-line sharpie is a great beginner's tool for panel lining! It's a very basic trick to really make a kit pop and a great starting point for going beyond a straight build. They have dedicated paints and markers for this but a fine-line sharpie works. Go over the details engraved into the parts with it, and wipe away excess with some rubbing alcohol on a towel.
Good luck!

Final Fantasy XIV. I'm so excited to hear what Masayoshi Soken will cook up next. Other ones to mention are Guilty Gear Strive, MegaMan X and Zero series, and The World Ends With You.
I had some issues finding Aerial at local hobby stores and online for a while, but then I found 3 just casually sitting on a shelf at Target! Good luck with your search. I'm still trying to track down an Aerial Rebuild for a reasonable price.
