First ever kit being a MGEX is defo a mental choice like god damn

@martinjrgensen8234 2 years ago

Modern Bandai kits are pure magic. The engineering and quality is just insane.

Also a flex starting with one of the best Gundam kits.

@mikey_vengenz 2 years ago

Gundam model kits are definitely designed to be a builder's kit. There are a lot of great Gundam painters and converters. But they've really designed it to feel like an experience just pushing pieces together.

Love all the warhammer people getting into gundam and all the gundam folks getting into warhammer that's been happening recently. A lot of the skills transfer over to each hobby.

@hyosworld109 2 years ago

Can you imagine how much GW would charge if they made that kit?!

@MSPaints 2 years ago

Honestly, the God Hand clippers are a god send. Well done on the build, lads

Would have been epic to see Pat in perpetual forward motion during the Wayland Games ad

I too remember my first Gunpla. Gunpla is in my opinion one of the most accessible plastic hobbies. There's such a wide range of price ranges and build difficulties that anyone can pick it up and start, and the only tool you need is clippers. Then you can go beyond a straight build and apply panel lines to bring out more detail and even paint it if you want, or get real crazy and kitbash your own custom Gundam. As the saying goes "Gunpla is freedom"

Welcome to the dark world of Gunpla! Jumping in with a MGEX is a bit mad, but I’m glad you enjoyed it. Love to see you guys take on painting one, it’s a blast!

Also if you’re looking to build one with your son try out an Entry Grade, much simpler, quicker, and cheaper but just as cool engineering and sturdy enough for a kid. Just built one with my nephew and he loved it.

Welcome to modern multi shot injection moulding. Bandai are the future, if they ever hit the military kit market, every other brand will fade to nothing. They’re so far ahead of the game. Compared to such as games workshop it’s like Space age versus Stone Age.
I’m glad people are realising just how far ahead they are now.

That part about just knowing that the details are there even if you can't see them can be a really nice feeling.

@BlackHoleEye 2 years ago

Godhand Clippers? Look who's a fancy lad.

@krzysztofmathews738 2 years ago

I've been consistently impressed by the incredible snap-fit tolerances of Bandai's kits. They are a guilty holiday pleasure for me to build around Yuletide.

@slickensmcgee2259 2 years ago

Worried about him building that smaller real grade kit. The first few waves of RG kits were plagued with loose joints and parts that would fly right off, but the ones coming out nowadays are the peak of small scale model engineering

@jaybluff281 2 years ago (edited)

After 30 years of making Gundam, Mecha, and more Tamiya/Asuka AFV kits than I've had hot dinners, I can't help but admit JP companies make GW sprues look like rubbish in comparison.

@lucidnonsenseable 2 years ago

I love watching experienced wargame modelers trying Gunpla for the first time. Always a treat and you did end up with one of the most elaborate kits to build OOB

@VCRVoyage 2 years ago

Hey! Gunpla's great but when using single bladed nippers (godhands et al.) DO NOT USE THEM ON TRANSPARENT PARTS YOU WILL BREAK THEM. Transparent plastic is harder than regular runners and it'll snap/dent the fragile blade of a single bladed nipper. Best practice is cut out your parts with a bit of excess runner (gunpla sprue is called runner) still left on the part with a regular hobby nipper then remove the excess with your single bladed.

Welcome to the hobby Peach!

I've been building Gundam for years, then I bought an Imperial Knight. The difference is stark in every conceivable metric. GW could learn a thing or two from Bandai.

@mph3942 1 year ago

I know nothing of Gundam lore, but you don't need to be a fan of Gundam to see that the engineering and quality of this is lightyears ahead of any model kit made outside Japan. Its absolutely staggering, and frankly makes GW's engineers look like amateurs.
