Escaflowne is a very good looking show (Sunrise in the later half of the 90s made some incredible looking shows) and I think Escaflowne itself has to be one of the best mecha designs out there. But it suffers from its overdose of shoujo overtones (and everything those entrail) and a weak end game. I haven't seen the movie but apparently it's different to some degree.
I just watch Raxhephon recently. It had potential and did a few interesting things, but it fell far too flat for my liking and never drew me in enough.
I built my first Gunpla several months ago for the hell of it. It was an old HG Shining Gundam (G Gundam deserves more love). It's kind of tedious, but I feel like it was worth giving a shot. Just make sure you pick up some sort of tool kit to do it with if you go ahead. I don't know if I'll do any more but if I do it'll probably be the HG Master Gundam that comes with Fuunsaiki.
