I bought a big box of JUNK gunpla from Japan 

Kitbash heaven

Yesssss

true

Yes!!!

In the sense that all those gunpla died and went somewhere better.

Went to the trouble of hiding the hollow-ness of the parts, but didn't go the distance to paint over and hide *that*. :/

Also looks like it could be Tamiya polyester putty. Which is a similar color I think

​​@jokechur a pass of glue right? Should fill the holes, then sand and paint

yeah looks like our gaikotsu here is new to the world of kit bashing or any actual modding. this is actually a really really really common test fit method in japan. also from the way gaikotsu juding this seller with "who builds kit like this? straight build, no nothing" on that build strike, we can see that our gaikotsu prob doesn't know a lot about test fit as well.

That's the most ass backwards way of getting into the hobby

@@mastermega8 Well, it was a local seller and after those 7 kits I bought 2 HG kits that were new. First Gunpla I ever built was HG Dagger L. Second was Miss Sazabi.

The most value I find in gunpla is the building experience. Trying to build a kit as close to perfection as possible can be quite frustrating yet very relaxing at the same time. That's why I really enjoy the RG kits even though it's mostly just build, pose, and leave them there forever.

Is this what marriage is about? Fuck.

Poor man must have been crying selling them 😭

That guy needs a new wife who actually values his happiness.

Horrible wife

Divorce is always an option

Everyone starts small and builds their collection and tools over time. I started building the original Wing kits back in the late 90's/early 00's with just my hands (duh) and a hand-me-down fishing tackle box of very basic modeling supplies that my father gave me. The box really only contained some half-dried Testors model paints, some very (badly) cheap paint brushes, a basic hobby knife, some old model glue, and some paper paint trays and toothpicks. Eventually, my skills grew, and I slowly purchased new paints, tools, etc. After a hiatus for college, I returned to the hobby as an adult, where I continued to explore techniques that I was able to learn with thanks to the internet, and I continued getting more and better tools. Eventually, I got an airbrush and converted a small room in my house into a building room for my kits. I'm certainly not one of those guys you see on RU-vid who build those masterpiece kits with all the details and stuff, but my abilities have grown 1000-fold since I was a kid, and the tools and building areas I use now and way better than I used to have. Point is: you have to start somewhere, and we all should be starting cheap (I'd be concerned about the person who buys their first Gunpla kit, an airbrush, and hundreds of dollars worth of tools and supplies, before even attempting the first build!). Once you realize that it's a hobby you enjoy, then you grow the willingness to invest time, money, and effort into getting better equipment and tools for it... gradually (unless you're really well off!).

Came here to say that. My first 5 or so kits I didn’t use a nipper. I did panel lining, sure, but there are some noticeable nubs even still to this day! So could be an early build or one a younger sibling/friend made?

third can be right and left arm part of try burning

​@@0veats I don't remember the try burning having clear parts with a lip like that, so I believe it does belong to the the SBS

I just assembled an HG Unicorn FA and didn't hate it _too_ much. Sure, some of the white color-correcting stickers can just f[all] right off for all I care. Honestly, I mostly got it so I didn't have to dismantle my RG Uni FA, so in that regard I can't be too disappointed. The Full Armor was the highlight of the experience. Between the shield trio, that's _three_ dual-miniguns, and they're already perfectly set up to be rigged to the underside of a shield, Gouf Custom style.

You're so lucky, I've always been told that the Unicorn/Banshee kits were wobbly, loose and pieces would fall off. Granted I only ever put together HG Banshee Norn and that was destroyed when it hit the floor and many pieces broke off of it

The HG Stark Jegan and Jegan ecoas for me were great buulds. The jesta not so much

I'm doing a custom paint on the HG Phenex atm, but yeah. The complete kit felt like ass when moving it around.

My first kit was the hg banshee destroy mode and I've loved it to bits since I first built it years ago, granted I modified the hell out of it 😭😭

also at 33:00 roughly you have part of the bag 10 video in bag 13
