@arandomtoychannel8117 2 года назад

Another tip from an experienced builder: if your not a gundam fan still watch some of the shows as making an emotional connection to the MS design can justify some of the more expensive kits. I will own a HG Neo Zeong one day

@snodog00 Год назад

My first kits were Gundam Wing Epion and the mass produced suits from 08th MS Team, which were the two series that got me started into Gundam. They were my favorite kits. I have Heavyarms coming in a few days and I'm so excited.

@codyh0886 Год назад

i hadn't watched any of the shows, but I had played several games with gundam, the emotional connection comes from the nostalgia of playing the game with my brothers growing up. Also having now watched IBO and TWFM I have a healthy attachment to some of those mobile suits.

@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart Год назад

That's where I'm at. I'm from the 80s and kind of remember the show but its hard to find online. Any suggestions?

@race_addict Год назад

Totally valid point! I generally build scale aircraft, but lately I'd been thinking about trying something new/different and Gunpla was an easy option. I watched a bit of SEED back like 20 or so years ago, but I've never been a Gundam aficionado. So I read up on what the latest series was, found The Witch From Mercury episodes online, watched all 13 over a weekend, and now I've GOT to get some of (er... all of) those suits!

Here's my first Gunpla story: I was on vacation in Oahu this year and my brother took me to a Don Quijote store (Japanese importer). I knew I wanted a few things but didn't really know what to get so I just grabbed an Entry Grade Gunpla off the wall for 10 bucks and said "what the heck, sure" without really knowing if I'd have the means of building it. I'd caught bits and pieces of Gundam Wing when it was on Toonami and was enamored but never dove into the show or franchise. Flash forward a month later and I built it: my first Gunpla GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. I was amazed at the engineering that went into just designing this tiny beginner's kit and now I want to get into more. I watched the 0079 Trilogy and I think I'm hooked... Awesome video, I feel confident moving forward :)

So I know what Gundam is, but I’ve never watched it. Today I went to a local GameStop with some friends, and as soon as I looked at a small rack of 8 high-grade kits I knew I needed one. $29 CAD later and now I have a fully built figure of Heindree. It was a lot of fun to build and looks really good! I heavily recommend getting a High-Grade of one that you think looks cool, and go from there. If you liked the kit, then do whatever! Good luck!

@PowerSynopsis 8 месяцев назад

I always had the assumption that building Gunpla was a lot more involved, with painting and gluing, kinda like some other model kits I've seen. Knowing that you don't have to do that unless you wanna be hardcore about it really makes me want to try it out. I'm not even a huge Gundam fan, I just think building them would be fun and they're cool to look at.

@n1pun131 6 месяцев назад

I'd absolutely recommend it mate. I've never built a kit that needed glue, and I've recently gotten into painting and panel lining my kits (using a thin black marker/pen to line in some of the intricate surface details to make them stand out more), and while customizing can be fun to do and look at, the overall process of just assembling a brand new kit and posing it is by far the reason that I am hooked to these things. I was huge on lego sets when I was younger, and this has honestly been the perfect step up in terms of intricacy and rewardability (I don't know if thats the right word here). I hope you've gotten around to buying one, or if not, I hope you buy yourself a set soon!

Ha a pretty funny story about my first experience building a model kit ever is that not really knowing much about Gundam (other than the fact that I wouldn’t have to paint it which was a big deal to me as I suck at painting) I got two kits one being the RX 78-2 and the other being a standard Zaku 2.

@skyeguy7914 2 года назад

Coming back to comment again on this video as a much more experienced builder. Working on even more kits, I now have some master grade progress under my belt, with the current project I’m stoked for being the MG astray Kai. A kit I’ve heard from many is one of the best out there. The deeper in you go, the more you get out. You’ll make mistakes, lose or damage parts, do an atrocious job with certain paint jobs, weather kits in a way that makes them just look wrong. But you’ll also get results that are mind boggling, take pride in the best results you achieve, and fill your den with collections upon collections of projects that took hours, days, even weeks of time to finish. Very soon I’ll be getting my first perfect grade. I want to do actual kitbashing some day. I’ve even learned about painting techniques, and want to study things like color theory just to improve that much more. This stuff is art, and will open a whole new world to you if you try to be a little bold with it. This video was a perfect diving point for me to really get into things with, and I highly recommend it.

I've been wanting to get into gunpla for years. Saw my local game store had some on the shelf, but rather than diving right on in I figured I'd wait a bit. Then I found this video in my recommendations and learned a lot, not just for Gunpla, but for other kits that require cutting out pieces and sticking them together. Wonderful video, but now I feel even less obliged to continue working on the Warhammer set I got 5 years ago because ho boy did I make a lot of mistakes. Glad I saw this before I started working on the new Killteam kit coming out and before buying some gunpla.

Watched this because it appeared on my recommendations. I was a huge fan of gunpla and a builder myself and I especially love HGUC models. But the feeling I had when I was still building gradually disappeared over the past 4 years because I was so busy with life and did not really put some budget on it eventually and went on gaming instead. This video reignited the dead flame I had inside for gunpla building and now I wanna get back to it. I think I'll allot some of those hobby funds again to gunpla. Thank you good sir.

@M3Sin 2 года назад

Awesome guide! I got a Gundam Exia real grade for Christmas and was intimidated on opening the box considering it being my first Gunpla. A week later decided to give it a go and man, what a journey it was. During the process i was just mind blown by the level of detail and how the mechanics moved as it was coming together. Each piece completed was extremely satisfying and once it's all finished the payoff was more than id anticipated like it had sparked some sort of connection. i definitely understand the fan base behind this hobby now because i want more Gundams, a lot more.

@FirithPanda 2 года назад

I got into gunpla thanks to the help of a friend with Barbatos Lupus Rex HG and I made it without stickers, but I had the tiniest snafu when putting together an arm. A tiny peg snapped off and sadly gluing wouldn't work with the plate , so now there's a tiny gap. My friend said that with beginners, it's okay to make mistakes and you will learn. You'll be able to do the kit another time later on when you are much more confident.
