I ordered a kit and my family was excited cause they thought I ordered a cool as figure, and as I was opening the box I was hyping them up and when I opened it, they were like "oh shit"
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
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.
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.
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!
@@fatcheeksjt1340 As an Owner of an MG Unicorn, It's a pretty good kit even after a decade, though you have to look out for loose parts such as the skirts and on my model, the ankles. So I recommend tightening up a few of those joints so it won't be a pain.
People just getting into gunpla definitely should be guided to this. This video is so well informed and enjoyable. *WARNING* ITS MISSING: How to stop the crippling addiction of buying and building more and more gunpla kits....
My dumbass right after buying UC RG, pre-ordering the MG of Epyon, and buying the Xi-Gundam within the span of a day…as well as the RX-72 revive variant…and the american variant…oh no
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 :)
'Does it cost a lot of money' Oh lord... I'm into 40K and dear lord when I checked the price on these kits I was shocked by how much cheaper everything was, the kits around the same size as a Land Raider tank are legit HALF THE DAMN PRICE THIS IS HEAVEN.
Yeah when compared to other things like anime figures and figmas they're really cheap the quality on almost all of them are great too so kudos to bandai
I got into gunpla by talking to a guy who was hanging around an alley near my place. he gave my 1st dosage of gunpla for free. I got hooked. Now I spent all my money on gunpla.
I watched this a year ago and as of today I have built 22 models. So happy this ended up in my recommendations. Thank you so much for making this video. I'm glad I picked up this hobby!!
I am glad that i knew nothing of gunpla and picked up a high grade for my first one (It was RX-78-2 gundam beginner i didnt even know it was a beginner)
Kinda late but I also fucked up my first Gundam build back in 2016. I was 12 years old and had no tools whatsoever, I was just recently gifted a RG Freedom Gundam ZGMF-X10A and completely broke some parts. Really stressful to look at 4-5 years later.
I found some gunpla at my local hobby lobby. They mostly had high grade, but they had a few others. I bought my girst one today and i am really sinking into the hobby. Thanks for all of the great tips :)
No problem, also if you buy gunpla from hobby lobby again they have a 40% off coupon that can be used like once per day, it’s on their website and you can pull it up on your phone for the cashier to scan, it let me get an HG Leo and an HG jesta for $20 total
This a great hobby don’t let anybody tell you different it’s super fun. I’ve done lots of models and every one of them has their own challenges but it’s really rewarding. Also it’s pretty cheep. I’d tell anyone to try it especially if you liked legos as a kid.
It is a really fun hobby ngl. But DAMN is it expensive! And i cant really make money off of it. Unless i do paint jobs and sell em but the investment + learning is too much for a high school who saves lunch money like me
I watched this when I was getting into gunpla when the pandemic started. Built 17 kits. I've just moved to another country and the itch to start building again is returning. Rabbit holing is real
1 year later and this is still the best beginners guide to gunpla. I believe this video encouraged so many people to get into the hobby. Myself included. Thanks again !!!
this might be one of the clearest guides to a possible new hobby/piece of entertainment i've ever seen. i've been interested in watching people make gundams for a while now and i always guessed that doing this myself would be not only a hassle and a waste of money but also would require me to do all kinds of things like painting which i honestly couldn't see myself ever doing, but the first 4 minutes alone completely quashed those worries and now i feel like i could try it. it's not like i need another hobby on top of the ones i already have but they all have in common that it's like putting together puzzle pieces. i don't know if and when i'll buy a set but this video has definitely convinced me to do so.
I liked the 90's Gundam wing kits with the exception of Epyon and the Tall Geese models most of them were pretty good. Though if Epyon was the first model I might have not continued.
@@deltacatts3734 my dad has an HG Epyon and, even though they really aren't comparable, after building an RG Crossbone, the quality of the Epyon was laughably bad
Ever since my dad bought me those simple 30 minute made model kits, I’ve been in love with them! Kinda moved off from Lego, and came to gunpla. I’ve been trying to find some good master grades, but the MS-09 Dom was my favorite. Haven’t opened, waiting for X-mas for the surprise. This video helps more!
As a rather jaded Warhammer 40k Fan I might just get into this hobby, even if I am not a fan of Gundam. But just the aspect of building it is great for someone like me who likes to assemble stuff. Looks cheaper. Though I might start with the Entry Grade Rx something. Update: will be on a 40k hiatus thanks to Gunpla....
I started this hobby on a whim, just randomly bought mg sazabi, then used wire cutter and sand paper , turns out just fine, I didn't know they have specific tools for this XD
I remember the earlier days when I first started on building gunpla. I was watching this video while waiting for my first kit to arrive, and I enjoyed building gunpla since then. So now whenever I come across this video it brings back nostalgia and some great memories. And also a big thanks for giving tips for the beginners!
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.
Thank you for watching! I tried making it as informative as possible but also entertaining and well put together so it would be easy for people to watch and enjoy 😁
Me, who's been watching videos on gunpla for around 4 years now despite never getting one: 👁👄👁 One day... one day I'll jump right in strong with a bunch of kits and maybe even a pg
@@vali69 I watched multiple videos and reviews before my first kit, so NY the time I watched this I already knew everything but kept watching cause it was fun, I only have 1 kit but plan to get more
"What do grades mean? Well in my case growing up it meant no video games for the rest of the week." I wish I could give a second thumbs up just for this comment. I can relate so much I laughed.
My first build was a minute ago but I recently got 2 models so me and my girlfriend could build them and there incredible. I have adhd so the attention to detail was really nice and she had a lot of fun just making sure each cut was perfect.
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.
Hey me too! Exact same kit and feelings. I’m now 3 kits in, have 3 kits out for delivery, and 3 back ordered. I love it. I’ll be getting in my first MG with a Barbatos tomorrow.
@@rio-ob3ee well, a year later and I’m deep in the rabbit hole. I went from HG kits to RG kits to MG kits (that I love building). PG kits just too expensive tbh. I also went from building, to building and panel lining. Now I build panel line water decal and top coat my builds. Currently I just started experimenting with painting my kits. And I’ve also started building and painting warhammer 40k models too. So yeah… a year later hooked on plastic crack to a wallet destroying degree. Couldn’t be happier 😁
gunpla is for people who had a lot of free time.. trust me.. i still had some does not yet been open out of the box and the shop that selling me is gone...
Broooo I watched so many battle campaigns and wanted to get into it, saw the price and IMMEDIATELY said "yeah never affording Warhammer in my lifetime" 😂
I wish I had seen this before I started building Gunpla models on Twitch, but now that I have, I can show my viewers how easy it is to get started. Thank you so much for making this. I will share it with my community for sure!
This is probably THE most well put, concise and informational guide I've ever seen on the Internet, not just related to Gundams , but in general. Kudos man, great work. More guide videos should be formed like this.
Hello YSG, I started this hobby during the 1st of March 2023. After watching this video about the basics of Gunpla, I realized it was the right time to start the hobby because I always love the mecha genre and especially the one's that are from the Gundam series. Man... thank you very much for making this video, it made me love the hobby and I'll make sure to not drain my wallet from this hobby (well depending which kits that took my interest).
I am so glad these are so easy to assemble. A friend of mine said that these were just like normal model kits where you have to glue them together and paint them. Ain't nobody got time for that lmao
I bought an EVA thinking it was a figure then it came in and I had to build it, I had Bionicles when I was a kid so getting to build the EVA was so fun and I've been so interested in building more ever since, this is a great intro video. I'm definitely interesting in customizing too. So, getting a nice intro to the deep end of the hobby is nice.
I'm sooo unbelievably happy I found this. I was nervous about nub removal and water stickers so seeing those parts in detail was super helpful. Ahh I feel alil more confident in going into zoids and gunpla builds 😁
@@MomSmoocha unless you start a youtube channel about your trials with high end kits so the rest of the community can laugh, cry, and then congratulate you when you succeed and learn new things and techniques.
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.
Although I'll probably not pick up the hobby anytime soon, I just wanted to say this guide is very clear, concise, and excellently paced. Growing up, a lot of kids my generation in my country had Gunpla kits so I'm familiar with the hobby. My best friend in middle school had a couple of kits and we assembled one together once. Good times.
It is... I'm interested in gunpla since I build a lot of Lego lately.. I might not have the resource yet but when I do.. I definitely know which one to buy first thanks to this
Yesterday midnight I just got into Gunpla thanks to you! I spent LITERALLY 22 hours learning about the hobbies I want to finally start doing and my passion for film. I spent 10 hours straight looking into Gundams and this was the first video that hooked me! So entertaining and helpful! Gundam wasn’t a hobby I was thinking of doing until now, plus since it also falls in the customizing territory it definitely will be! My father is already into Gunpla and I built the HGBF Try Burning in 2016 when I was 13 because my grandma bought me it before we left Hong Kong. Hopefully this passion isn’t short lived because DAMN I’m addicted and I didn’t even properly start yet! Regret not buying kits sooner especially in Hong Kong. Keep up the brilliant work! Can’t wait to join you guys in Gundam Heaven and wallet Hell!
My very first kit was a master grade Redframe. I didn’t think it was too difficult, tbh. Ended up painting and customizing it too. Never watched any instructional videos, but did get a couple tips from a friend. If you’re considering getting into it, just do it. He’s right, don’t be intimidated. Also, I do not think you need to start with a beginner kit if you don’t want to. If you think it looks cool, get it. Lol
I've already built several kits over the course of about three years (however these were all HG kits and a few SD kits), but this definitely helped clear up some things I didn't know about dry decals and water slide decals. As well as clarifications on some terminology I wasn't sure of. Thank you so much! I'm definitely getting that 1/100 Sengoku Astray now.
I'm literally blind to Gundam and gunpla, but I've wanted to have a more constructive and creative outlet, so I'm excited to start getting my very first gunpla kits!
This video showed me how amazing this hobby is. Funny how. Little random vid on my fyp opened me a door to a new fantastic hobby. Thanks ig thats the perfect vid to star gunpla al that information is very helpful
I was out at hobby lobby and I saw the exact kit I wanted,I sat on the idea of wether or not to build it,but I've watched some videos since then including this one and I really want to get into the hobby,thank you for making this video. Edit:I built my first gunpla kit,and I loved it,I built the hguc Rx-28 Gundam and I had an amazing time building it with my brother,jobby got me into gunpla and you helped me prepare for it the hobby,so thank you for this video,I will definitely continue to build
Recently got my first gunpla, and it's a pretty different one that personally spoke to me a lot more than the conventional designs: beguir beu. I can't wait to assemble it!
youre the real mvp, i am just starting to collect figurines and im just getting into the gundam anime universe. I wanted to learn more about gunpla and ur video is the right place to be. Thx man!
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.
That's my first gunpla kit too. I only bothered with the eye stickers. The rest I just used markers to color them. The wraparound stickers just stuck so much.
Tomorrow is my first two day weekend in two months. There’s nothing more I wanna do than sit in my house and build a kit. Thank you immensely. I am super excited! Cheers!
25:50 helped me out so much. I took of every piece and threw away the plastic it came with. So I had pieces in piles. Took me a while to distinguish the pictures but this instruction helps lol
Just bought my first kit today. I was at a Tokyo Store at my local mall and saw a kit. I love the Blood Orphans arc and saw the Lupus Rex model and instantly felt I had to have it. I have some experience with Warhammer so assembly wasn't an issue and definitely much easier:) thank you for this video!
I’ve been a warhammer 40k fan for years but I’ve always loved Gundam so watching this helps me really decide on getting Barbatos I’m super excited to get into this hobby a little
I just pre-ordered the Space Command GM. I finished the first gundam series and got instantly inspired to build a Gunpla. Then I realized I had no idea what I was going to do when it (eventually) got here. This video definitely made me feel a bit more at ease, though I’m gonna have to find that little knife you were talking about. Thanks for helping me out!
If only I had a place for them. Also at least GUNPLAS don't have horrendous mould lines, unlike models from a certain Brittish tabletop wargaming comapny.
Just finished an RX 178 Mk II Titans Prototype and my first thought was I need more kits ASAP Thank you for this amazing video, it really helped me And for those who are intimidated at first because of the tools needed I finished my model with some electrician clippers, sand paper and a needle point pen and it looks great I even used a nail clipper for some parts were the clippers couldn't fit through the runners
I bought two Kits at a comiccon because they looked super cool. I always wanted to try but also don't want to mess up too much so thank you for this guide I can't wait to build my first one!
I found myself here after playing the mobile gunpla game. It's thanks to that game and your video that I've decided to get a job to h get my first gunpla, and eventually kit Bash my custom Gundam 404. Thanks for the video man. Ya got a new sub from me bro. Keep up the good work.
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.
They have gundams in gas stations in Japan. Here in the states it's a niche within a niche in the west. Me: the only other gundam fans I've ever seen or interacted with in my life have been online lol.
Just ordered a 1/100 Master Grade Red Frame and it's 1/100 Flight Pack. I'm really excited to build again. My first Gunpla were made back when Gundam Wing/Endless Waltz and G Gundam were popular, so it's been a while. You just got a subscriber my guy!
I remember my first time building the EVA-01 PG kit, it was an ABSOLUTE DISASTER: First you had to fit a TIGHT silicon "skin" (if I may call it so) around the skeleton of the EVA and only then build the armor around it, but due to how tight the silicon was some parts literally broke over time due to the pressure the silicon had put on them. It was my first BIG deception about the PG kits... Now I know some people might want to buy the kit because well it's Evangelion, but don't. The PG EVA isn't worth it: The pieces are weak and the silicon fitting part is not even challenging it's straight up unfun, and the color pallet and details isn't great.
My first built was also a eva... Terrible expirience I would advice to start with a gundam because the shapes are easier and they are less flimsy Ps: I broke the longinus lance😬🤦
Today, I bought my first Gunpla (the exact same that you showed the Zeta Gundam HG) And on the way home I wanted to learn more about it so I found your video and I loved it ! Your video was precised and really well explained. Even though I’m french I understood everything thanks to your explanation. Thanks for this vid and I hope I’ll love my Gunpla when I’ll start it !
I've only started building Gunpla this year and I kinda jumped in at the deep end with the MG Barbatos. I was hooked immediately, working on building the kit for the rest of the day and taking about 12 hours to do it, also helps that I have a hobby store in walking distance that stocks most Gunpla. Since then I've only had 1 issue, twisting off a joint for my RG Sazabi and having a mini freak-out before super-gluing the arm back on. This has honestly been a hobby I've needed for a while, helping me focus on something when there's a lull throughout the day.
Hello, just came back to this video that had mw started on gunpla. Although I've been a gundam fan since the 90s, I didn't know that this hobby was a "thing". I'm so happy that I came across this video just like so many others. Hope you will be back to making more videos in the future. Cheers!
My brother got me a Gundam kit for Christmas and I built it with a box cutter and some good old chomping action. This vid just got me the confidence to buy a kit for my favourite Gundam which is Gundam Aerial. thanks a million my guy! :)
I wish i knew i needed nippers when i got my first kit qwq, i was trying to be as careful as possible with my wee little hands but i still snapped a piece in half, thank god i had super glue on me tho
I've built around a dozen gunpla now but I just saw this video and decided to watch it, cuz why not. Great video mate and incredibly informative and at the same time interesting to watch. I love this hobby now more than ever, and I really hope more people get into it as well, as it's incredibly fun and rewarding. Cheers!
How did I end up here? I've never even seen Gundam.
I'll take 2, please.
That’s how I started out too, and now look at me 😭
I could think of worse ways to spend your life savings
I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
one random click, $60 later
exactly, besides old gundam, and a theme song or 2 lol otherwise i love the builds
I ordered a kit and my family was excited cause they thought I ordered a cool as figure, and as I was opening the box I was hyping them up and when I opened it, they were like "oh shit"
Me a mid 30 adult who suddenly reverted back to my youth and suddenly binge-watching all the series and scouring the internet for all the models.
Same! My midlife crisis is coming in the form of plastic robots. Also I bought EXO squad on DVD hahaha

Me too bro lol
This is happening for me too lol
Same. Same. XD

Simply because none can recover, this is our creed
An addiction that will live on after you die. Your skeletons gonna come out of your coffin and begin to buy gunpla.

I know right.
Japan is something else
Yeah it's because Games Workshop are a bunch of greedy bastards
Yeah when compared to other things like anime figures and figmas they're really cheap the quality on almost all of them are great too so kudos to bandai
Not to mention fighting with Japanese kids over limited stock. I swear every popular gundam on Amazon has like 3 in stock
I have been collecting Gundam for around 7 months now and I love building them. This was the first video I watched before I got my first Gundam.

Fulfilling, right? But costs so much money. I already blew hundreds of dollars on this hobby. lol
Well done
"Start with a high grade"
*first gunpla was a master grade wing gundam i royally fucked up*
"I agree"
I am glad that i knew nothing of gunpla and picked up a high grade for my first one
(It was RX-78-2 gundam beginner i didnt even know it was a beginner)
Lmao same my first was a real grade and my hands basically died having to handle with such small detailed parts
i feel u
lmao a 1/100 barbatos was my first gunpla
Kinda late but I also fucked up my first Gundam build back in 2016. I was 12 years old and had no tools whatsoever, I was just recently gifted a RG Freedom Gundam ZGMF-X10A and completely broke some parts. Really stressful to look at 4-5 years later.
I found some gunpla at my local hobby lobby. They mostly had high grade, but they had a few others. I bought my girst one today and i am really sinking into the hobby. Thanks for all of the great tips :)
No problem, also if you buy gunpla from hobby lobby again they have a 40% off coupon that can be used like once per day, it’s on their website and you can pull it up on your phone for the cashier to scan, it let me get an HG Leo and an HG jesta for $20 total
This a great hobby don’t let anybody tell you different it’s super fun. I’ve done lots of models and every one of them has their own challenges but it’s really rewarding. Also it’s pretty cheep. I’d tell anyone to try it especially if you liked legos as a kid.
i agree! also, I loved LEGO as a kid which is probably why i love gunpla so much. building stuff is really fun!
damn I love both, so today I bought my first gunpla!
It is a really fun hobby ngl. But DAMN is it expensive! And i cant really make money off of it. Unless i do paint jobs and sell em but the investment + learning is too much for a high school who saves lunch money like me
The Lego to Gunpla pipeline is real
I watched this when I was getting into gunpla when the pandemic started. Built 17 kits.
I've just moved to another country and the itch to start building again is returning. Rabbit holing is real
1 year later and this is still the best beginners guide to gunpla. I believe this video encouraged so many people to get into the hobby. Myself included. Thanks again !!!
Saw this and it really demystified Gunpla as a total noob. Been building since Christmas and bought 5 kits already. Long live robot models!
2 years later and the vid is still doing it's thing, huge thank ❤
You know what we need?
Titanfall model kits
absolutely
If bandai decides to do this, the first one I would buy is the Ronnin
i never knew i needed this
I love titan fall
yes
Definitely going to share with a few people who are curious about this hobby.
Awesome! Hopefully it can help them out 😄

this might be one of the clearest guides to a possible new hobby/piece of entertainment i've ever seen. i've been interested in watching people make gundams for a while now and i always guessed that doing this myself would be not only a hassle and a waste of money but also would require me to do all kinds of things like painting which i honestly couldn't see myself ever doing, but the first 4 minutes alone completely quashed those worries and now i feel like i could try it. it's not like i need another hobby on top of the ones i already have but they all have in common that it's like putting together puzzle pieces. i don't know if and when i'll buy a set but this video has definitely convinced me to do so.
"Don't let one bad experience ruin it for you" *Laughs in 90s US Gundam Wing kits*
I haven't built one since my cousins first run GW kit. Miserable experience and been adverse to considering it again until now.
Epyon was my first, not a great experience. I made the mistake of just seeing “oh cool robot”
I liked the 90's Gundam wing kits with the exception of Epyon and the Tall Geese models most of them were pretty good. Though if Epyon was the first model I might have not continued.
@@deltacatts3734 my dad has an HG Epyon and, even though they really aren't comparable, after building an RG Crossbone, the quality of the Epyon was laughably bad
Ugh those were terrible

I built 5 of them with just a pair of scissors and a nail clipper until, I got my small tool kit thing
Bro same
All I had was my trusty box cutter
I’m working on my sixth without tools
Ever since my dad bought me those simple 30 minute made model kits, I’ve been in love with them! Kinda moved off from Lego, and came to gunpla. I’ve been trying to find some good master grades, but the MS-09 Dom was my favorite. Haven’t opened, waiting for X-mas for the surprise. This video helps more!
As a rather jaded Warhammer 40k Fan I might just get into this hobby, even if I am not a fan of Gundam. But just the aspect of building it is great for someone like me who likes to assemble stuff. Looks cheaper. Though I might start with the Entry Grade Rx something.
Update: will be on a 40k hiatus thanks to Gunpla....
How’s your progress, pal?
A story in 2 parts.
Character development
Saaaaaaame. X'D
Same here. I haven’t stopped with 40k but this is sucking me in
I started this hobby on a whim, just randomly bought mg sazabi, then used wire cutter and sand paper , turns out just fine, I didn't know they have specific tools for this XD
😂 I mean if it works it works
I like how there's a random Rei and a random Minako thrown in between those Usagi stickers.
I remember the earlier days when I first started on building gunpla. I was watching this video while waiting for my first kit to arrive, and I enjoyed building gunpla since then. So now whenever I come across this video it brings back nostalgia and some great memories. And also a big thanks for giving tips for the beginners!
Step 1: Buy like a million Zakus
Step 2(optional): Buy someone for your Zaku army to beat up
This is the correct method

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.
Though I know everything there is to know about Gunpla already, I watched the entire thing for how well put together this is. I simply dig it!
Thank you for watching! I tried making it as informative as possible but also entertaining and well put together so it would be easy for people to watch and enjoy 😁
Step 1: Have money.
Step 2: have time
Step 3: suffer
Step 4: now stare at it
I mean some Gundam models are fairly cheap and only take a couple hours. There are budget friendly options.

My first build was a minute ago but I recently got 2 models so me and my girlfriend could build them and there incredible. I have adhd so the attention to detail was really nice and she had a lot of fun just making sure each cut was perfect.
That’s crazy you built 2 more in the span of a minute? Having a girlfriend has its benefits I guess.
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.
Hey me too! Exact same kit and feelings. I’m now 3 kits in, have 3 kits out for delivery, and 3 back ordered. I love it. I’ll be getting in my first MG with a Barbatos tomorrow.

@@rio-ob3ee well, a year later and I’m deep in the rabbit hole. I went from HG kits to RG kits to MG kits (that I love building). PG kits just too expensive tbh. I also went from building, to building and panel lining. Now I build panel line water decal and top coat my builds. Currently I just started experimenting with painting my kits. And I’ve also started building and painting warhammer 40k models too. So yeah… a year later hooked on plastic crack to a wallet destroying degree. Couldn’t be happier 😁

I wish I had seen this before I started building Gunpla models on Twitch, but now that I have, I can show my viewers how easy it is to get started. Thank you so much for making this. I will share it with my community for sure!
This is probably THE most well put, concise and informational guide I've ever seen on the Internet, not just related to Gundams , but in general.
Kudos man, great work. More guide videos should be formed like this.
Hello YSG, I started this hobby during the 1st of March 2023.
After watching this video about the basics of Gunpla, I realized it was the right time to start the hobby because I always love the mecha genre and especially the one's that are from the Gundam series.
Man... thank you very much for making this video, it made me love the hobby and I'll make sure to not drain my wallet from this hobby (well depending which kits that took my interest).
I am so glad these are so easy to assemble. A friend of mine said that these were just like normal model kits where you have to glue them together and paint them. Ain't nobody got time for that lmao
Now finally I understand everything about starting a gundam kit. Thank you
Happy to help!
Thank you

I'm definitely interesting in customizing too. So, getting a nice intro to the deep end of the hobby is nice.
I'm sooo unbelievably happy I found this. I was nervous about nub removal and water stickers so seeing those parts in detail was super helpful. Ahh I feel alil more confident in going into zoids and gunpla builds 😁

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.
Although I'll probably not pick up the hobby anytime soon, I just wanted to say this guide is very clear, concise, and excellently paced.
Growing up, a lot of kids my generation in my country had Gunpla kits so I'm familiar with the hobby. My best friend in middle school had a couple of kits and we assembled one together once. Good times.
It is... I'm interested in gunpla since I build a lot of Lego lately.. I might not have the resource yet but when I do.. I definitely know which one to buy first thanks to this
Yesterday midnight I just got into Gunpla thanks to you! I spent LITERALLY 22 hours learning about the hobbies I want to finally start doing and my passion for film. I spent 10 hours straight looking into Gundams and this was the first video that hooked me! So entertaining and helpful! Gundam wasn’t a hobby I was thinking of doing until now, plus since it also falls in the customizing territory it definitely will be! My father is already into Gunpla and I built the HGBF Try Burning in 2016 when I was 13 because my grandma bought me it before we left Hong Kong. Hopefully this passion isn’t short lived because DAMN I’m addicted and I didn’t even properly start yet! Regret not buying kits sooner especially in Hong Kong. Keep up the brilliant work! Can’t wait to join you guys in Gundam Heaven and wallet Hell!
glad i could help, welcome to the hobby!
@@YouSeeGundam thank you very much 🙏🏼☺️
So far for me the Gunpla community is so nice and brilliant! A good different pace 😂
My very first kit was a master grade Redframe. I didn’t think it was too difficult, tbh. Ended up painting and customizing it too. Never watched any instructional videos, but did get a couple tips from a friend. If you’re considering getting into it, just do it. He’s right, don’t be intimidated. Also, I do not think you need to start with a beginner kit if you don’t want to. If you think it looks cool, get it. Lol
I've already built several kits over the course of about three years (however these were all HG kits and a few SD kits), but this definitely helped clear up some things I didn't know about dry decals and water slide decals. As well as clarifications on some terminology I wasn't sure of. Thank you so much!
I'm definitely getting that 1/100 Sengoku Astray now.
@24:09 bro is me chillin playing video games in the most uncomfortable yet most comfortable position. Great video btw helped me tons
I'm literally blind to Gundam and gunpla, but I've wanted to have a more constructive and creative outlet, so I'm excited to start getting my very first gunpla kits!
This video showed me how amazing this hobby is. Funny how. Little random vid on my fyp opened me a door to a new fantastic hobby. Thanks ig thats the perfect vid to star gunpla al that information is very helpful
I was out at hobby lobby and I saw the exact kit I wanted,I sat on the idea of wether or not to build it,but I've watched some videos since then including this one and I really want to get into the hobby,thank you for making this video.
Edit:I built my first gunpla kit,and I loved it,I built the hguc Rx-28 Gundam and I had an amazing time building it with my brother,jobby got me into gunpla and you helped me prepare for it the hobby,so thank you for this video,I will definitely continue to build
Recently got my first gunpla, and it's a pretty different one that personally spoke to me a lot more than the conventional designs: beguir beu. I can't wait to assemble it!
youre the real mvp, i am just starting to collect figurines and im just getting into the gundam anime universe. I wanted to learn more about gunpla and ur video is the right place to be. Thx man!
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.
That's my first gunpla kit too. I only bothered with the eye stickers. The rest I just used markers to color them. The wraparound stickers just stuck so much.
The most important thing is, having fun while building.

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.

As someone very interested in starting the hobby this video was just amazing
Me, building my 32nd kit: huh. looks like a cool video to have in the background.
Just ordered a 1/100 Master Grade Red Frame and it's 1/100 Flight Pack. I'm really excited to build again. My first Gunpla were made back when Gundam Wing/Endless Waltz and G Gundam were popular, so it's been a while. You just got a subscriber my guy!
Welcome to the channel and welcome back to the hobby!
I remember my first time building the EVA-01 PG kit, it was an ABSOLUTE DISASTER: First you had to fit a TIGHT silicon "skin" (if I may call it so) around the skeleton of the EVA and only then build the armor around it, but due to how tight the silicon was some parts literally broke over time due to the pressure the silicon had put on them.
It was my first BIG deception about the PG kits...
Now I know some people might want to buy the kit because well it's Evangelion, but don't. The PG EVA isn't worth it: The pieces are weak and the silicon fitting part is not even challenging it's straight up unfun, and the color pallet and details isn't great.
I’ve built the PG Eva as well, it was horrendous
My first built was also a eva... Terrible expirience I would advice to start with a gundam because the shapes are easier and they are less flimsy
Ps: I broke the longinus lance😬🤦
my first kit was the unit 01 RG, and i didnt even know it was a kit. i just thought it was a really cool figure
@@cone659 that’s funny. When I was 7 I begged my mom to buy me the mg freedom kit I thought it was a figure too lmao

Thanks for this vid and I hope I’ll love my Gunpla when I’ll start it !
I've only started building Gunpla this year and I kinda jumped in at the deep end with the MG Barbatos. I was hooked immediately, working on building the kit for the rest of the day and taking about 12 hours to do it, also helps that I have a hobby store in walking distance that stocks most Gunpla. Since then I've only had 1 issue, twisting off a joint for my RG Sazabi and having a mini freak-out before super-gluing the arm back on. This has honestly been a hobby I've needed for a while, helping me focus on something when there's a lull throughout the day.
