- Have you seen a uptick in Warhammer RUclipsrs and Influencers talking about Gunpla lately but not sure what it's all about? This video is for you!
Big thanks to @ForbiddenPlanetInternational for sponsoring the video! You should absolutely check them out for awesome Gunpla, Manga, Trading cards like Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh etc!
Gunpla is a great hobby and one that I think all Warhammer fans should have a go at, at least once!
Let me know what you think.

What do you think of Gunpla? Have you tried it? Are there any RUclips creators you'd recommend?
I like Kakarot197 and Jabman025 for Gunpla kit reviews. Mecha Gaikotsu can be okay sometimes too. The official Gundam Info youtube channel usually has a few of the anime series streaming for free too
Been making Gunpla since the early 2000's 🙂 Don't generally use them for gaming as they don't scale well with other things so they're usually one-off models or put into dioramas!
It's hard for me to recommend many Gunpla youtubers. There are some talented folks but quite a few have questionable leanings - that said "Model Making Guru" has made some good videos, especially if you're looking for techniques. For painting, you clearly know the basics so I'd probably recommend looking into more traditional modelmakers as the main difference in painting is scale. These are 20m tall robots so your weathering needs to be scaled accordingly. "Night Shift" makes WW2 tanks/dioramas, there's a lot of techniques there that can easily be applied to gunpla (and Warhammer, again if you scale accordingly!)
I don't collect minis due to the price of it. The price of GW kits really baffles me. Comparing a 1/100 MG Gunpla kit to a Imperial Knight, the price of the Imperial Knight does not even make sense for me.
For quick reviews I recommend Mecha Gaikotsu, since he reviews recent releases sometimes old kits.
For slightly in-depth review of a kit Zaku Aureluis is a good one.
For cool custom gunpla I would recommend Studio G and EA gunpla.
Edit: If you are kinda interested on a "mini" like gunpla, just search for Gundam Artifact. But i think the line is quite limited on the designs available. And correct me if I am wrong, they are made with resin or resin like plastic.
JL gunpla does some amazing work with the bigger kits & resin upgrades.
Mecha Gaikotsu has good honest reviews of kits.
I recommend mj2005gundam for short but informative reviews.
I've been using various gunpla for LANCER minis lately, like the past year or two. It's very satisfying.
Oh that's a cool idea!
My work changed And when I found myself building more models than actually making time to play well let's just say I built 5 hguc kits instead of getting more necrons i cant use right now
Totally understandable! For me, the building part of Warhammer has always just been a requirement to get to the fun bit of painting/playing, with Gunpla, the fun starts as soon as you open the box!
Same for me. I have a pile of shame wharhammer to build, I love it but less time, undefined place and gunpla is perfect to fill the warhammer hole in my soul 😊.
Hi. I just have weeks stucked with my Warhammer. I recently have to moved for work to other city and I bring with me a great part of my minis, tools, paints…but….I don’t find the moment, the place, and the setup to continue painting. And this bring me newly to gundam world. It’s easier and gratifying to build it. I just bought one Sazabi days ago and I’m so excited waiting to get it in my hands. I also recommend to try it, it’s a good idea to relax in moments that are busy. Thank a lot.
@@Diapl3 thank you for the comment and I’m so happy that you are enjoying Gundam building. The Sazabi is an amazing kit, I hope you enjoy it a lot ☺️
@@SpensPainting Thanks a lot for reply. I built some models years ago, always MG, Sinanju, Infinite Justice, Exia, and I could get to buy a flamant PG Astray red.... It´s a full experience. I ever want to get Sazabi, and the time has come. I bought the RG Sazabi and 1 DABAN white Sazabi, Have you try daban models?
Been into warhammer for the last 20 years, just bought my first gunpla and I'm hooked the WFM kits are amazing, price compared to wharhammer is amazing don't know if I will go back to warhammer tbh
The WFM kits are awesome! And yeah, the price point is a HUGE selling factor
I first bought the michaelis and loved it so much, I then bought the calibarn and arieal to go with it and then full mechanics aerial they look so good together and I'm now trying to get hold of the Lfrith pre production. The new age of sigmar boxed set has gone out the window 😂
@@scottburgess1107 haha that’s an ace collection! What did you think to the full mechanics aerial? I did the FM Forbidden Gundam and it was good but I prefer RG/MG to that one, would like to do a large scale aerial of the FM one is good
@@SpensPaintingit was really good, I read some negative things about the other FM kits but most seemed positive for this one so gave it ago and it dosent disapoint, give it ago and show us what you thought. I think the aerial is really good looking suit.
Cool Gunplas.
Thanks! Been having a lot of fun with them lately!
The amount of kits is astounding. Some of them wouldn't look out of place in an Ork army.
@@billwilson1225 agreed! There’s SO much choice, especially when you take into account the different grades. Do you have a favourite?
@@SpensPainting Probably the HG Gusion with the big mallet.
I mean there’s even games out there to play for them. Gamma Wolves in particular by Ash from Guerilla Miniature Gaming is excellent.
That's very cool! I'll check it out!
As someone who has tried both, this is my conclusion
Gunpla can be painted like a warhammer mini, take it as you will
Yes, there are a lot of artwork, painting, mods and mucho more. Years ago when I began with gundams, I never paint it, only panel lines. This time I return to gunpla and I have in mind to do something more but simple, I think painting gumpla can be an enormous project.
@@Diapl3 better get an airbrush/rattlecan tho, base coating it is painful
Im speaking from experience 💀
@@theguywhogotdonuted1136 Yes, but I mean, building gunpla can be simple and less "demanding" than warhammer, what I need in some momments, just open the box, cut, sand and mount, a direct way to satisfying fun. But, my mind is drawing dark plans and "complicate" the momment of simple amussement, and paint, weathering, it´s horrible!! ☺. I have the full kit, airbrushes, good compressor, spraying cabin, and a too much tools, paints than I can use, a lot of years collecting. Thnaks for the reply.
I find gundams to be a nice break from the norm, good proxies for the bigger Tau units as well!
I keep an eye on what forbidden planet Hanley gets in, normally a good mix available.
Gunpla being a plastic model and also an aciton figure is big.
Warhammer has far more Potential but Corporately cannot Be bothered to Use It to justify Their very over Expensive Plastic
And these Weird little Japanese Robos look Cool
Guess I’ll try them out
*4 Movies and 3 Models later*
Mmm
Nice
Haha I know right? How we haven’t seen a PROPER animated warhammer series yet is madness.
And I know what you mean “oh I’ll just try this £15 little kit and watch one of the movies, I’m sure I won’t get hooked…. Oh dear”
@@SpensPainting It’s quite a Vibe
Too janky for my tastes but I see the appeal
The best thing about Gundam and Gunpla is that, unlike every Western franchise, it has resisted the dreaded Woke Retcon/Subversion (for now).
You’re joking right? The original series with as many homoromantic undertones as Star Trek? The most recent one literally ending with a gay wedding?
@@tomhossain2099I feel like they mean that it's forced additions while gundam kinda had already gay undertones from the get go, so yeh.
