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

exactly, besides old gundam, and a theme song or 2 lol otherwise i love the builds
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
Embrace it! =] Enjoy yourself however you can.
Me too bro lol
This is happening for me too lol
Same. Same. XD
@3:12 - "Doesn't it cost a lot of money?"
*Laughs/Cries in Warhammer 40k*
Me looking at GW announcing another price increase 😀
I only collect 90s warhammer now which ironically despite being rarer is a lot cheaper than the modern stuff for the most part 😂
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.
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?
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!
this is a good tip because if i messed up Char's Red Gundam i would kill myself lmaooooo
“Always start with a High Grade kit.”
Me, after purchasing MG RX-0 Unicorn because it looked cool: *sweats nervously*
BHBAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA I BOUGHT IT TOO
i also just bought a MG and its gonna be my first gunpla(i have build like 5 small gunpla when i was like 8 and its been like 12 years)
@@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.

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!
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 :)
"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.
Me, who built 5 kits without cutters and removed the nubs with my teeth: 👁️👄👁️
you are a true member of the proud nub eater gang
@@YouSeeGundam haha! Love that reply! 🤣👍 This was a great video, hope you get more subscribers!
Me who didn’t use teeth and instead struggled by using normal scissors:👁👄👁
I think I'm the only person who removes them by twisting them around with just my hand... Broke quite a numbers of them, NGL
@@ryo5210 I do the same! Though I still use my cutters now to remove the longer and thicker pieces since you gotta be super careful with them.
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!!
Fulfilling, right? But costs so much money. I already blew hundreds of dollars on this hobby. lol
Well done
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.
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
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....
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.
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
@@skeetskeet7041 HOLY SHIT!
so... does this mean that custom built gundams do not count?
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!
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!
Me, a beginner, who had no idea I needed tools: 👁👄👁
Edit: I am no longer a beginner and I am now using tools :) I’ve built 30 kits and counting
Same built two without
@@johncasares6729 I’ve built five haha
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
"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
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.
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 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.
Me, who’s been building gunpla for almost a decade watching this because I like the channel: 👁👄👁
I appreciate the support 😄 I’m glad you enjoy my content!
Same dude.. been building for 3 years but still found this video to be awesome.

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
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.
This was like, the most informative and easy to digest beginners guide i''ve ever watched, thanks for that!

Swivelboi i guess lol
I watched my first gundam series recently and thought it would be fun to get into building the models. This was very helpful, thank you!
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!
me at the start: wth are these anime robots??

going bankrupt is part of the fun though

'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.
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
This was a really great beginners guide, I’ve been on the fence about trying gunpla but now I think I will get my first kit
It looks quite complex but a lot of fun to make! Thanks for this superb guide for newbies like me, basically you need the right tools and pay close attention to the manual. I'll be going back to this one to review it on detail at each step.
It's not this complex. This guide is just thorough. Short version. Your local store probably has stacks of High Grade 1:144 kits, they're priced in the neighborhood of $15-$20 so they're going to be an obvious starting point. Pick up some side cutters, which are actually in lots of toolboxes already. Hobby grade cutters have pointy ends to fit into tight spaces on small parts. And you don't need to be able to read Japanese. The hardest part of your first kit is being careful not to cut off the wrong parts since you don't yet know the common shapes. Just go slow, be careful, look at your instructions a lot. Even if you totally mess up and cut too deep, like you cut off a peg used to attach parts, maybe pick up some super glue just to be safe. Problem solved.

This video helped a lot when I first started with Gunpla and got me interested in the hobby. After assembling an Entry Grade RX-78-2, I picked up a HG Infinite Justice and from there, I'm now hooked. Just assembled my first MG this week, in fact and it looks awesome.
Definitely going to share with a few people who are curious about this hobby.
Awesome! Hopefully it can help them out 😄

So... how did it go?
@D MoneZ did u do well
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
Absolutely amazing video man, being a gundam fan i always wanted to get into gunpla naturally, and this video was genuinely perfect! you've definitely got yourself a new follower!!
THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!! GOT MY STARTER AND AM EXCITED!!! Great work, im hyped, no longer worried, and excited!!!
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....

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!

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
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
i bought my fits ever model kit (RX-78-2 1/144 HG) 2 days ago and this guide has got me even more exited to build it. i'll be keeping a eye on this channel for sure
The most important thing is, having fun while building.

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
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).

That 1/100 Unicorn was my first ever build, I started this hobby last week, and now I’m building kyrios... I also have a shin Musha gundam on shipping, And I have no money left for my other hobbies.
welcome to the financial black hole my friend
I like how there's a random Rei and a random Minako thrown in between those Usagi stickers.
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.
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.

Thanks for this, it was helpful for letting me know about sizes and some other stuff before my first purchase, really appreciate it.
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.

@@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 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'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.
this video was so awesome! very helpful. im starting with the evnagelion unit 01 real grade and this video just made me more exited to build it.
Really appreciate the info about decals. I love how detailed this video is. Got my first kit 2 weeks ago, and the only tool missing is the sandpaper....and some courage to open up and start building ahaha
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.
@@bobbrossify nice!
nice
I started with a HG, and got confused when buying gundams, but ended up making this months later.
@@TwinBlades1 right on man,which Gundam did you get?
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!
impulse bought a kit after watching my first gundam series (witch from mercury) and im so excited. thanks for all the great tips!!!
Working on my second model and I really appreciate this video 🙏 Very helpful
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
Been making kits for years, but this video still taught me some new stuff💖 Appreciate the hard work you put into it.
This video was super helpful I'm a absolutely a noob and always have interest in this hobby. Thank you, this video covers a lot of information by starting your very own Gundam.
I'm glad I watched this before I opened the box to my first gunpla. I can't wait to build it with this new knowledge of what to expect.
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
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.
just bought some kits. New to the hobby and this video was helpful. Thank you
I recently started dipping my toes into gunpla as a way to spend more time with my husband who is absolute gunpla nerd!! Thank you for the amazing beginner video, it helps a lot in helping me understand my love's hobby and engaging with it more!
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 😁
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!
Thank you for this informative video! I got a HG model a few years back and I think I did okay with it but I had no idea that tools were needed and ended up having trouble with the nubs. I ordered a MG model the other day and I feel much better prepared this time around.
Planning to build Gundam Sandrock soon. Learned a lot from this! Thank you! From the Philippines here.
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!
"Where did you buy your first kit?"
Target
Wait they sell gunpla kits at Target?
@@ayechanoo3383 at my target, yea
Sammmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee I got barbatos
The toy section of a mall brand store
@@sephy5357 I’m so jealous lmao
I recently watched all of Gundam 00, and picked up a MG Kyrios kit at a convention without even thinking about the fact that I knew very little about gunpla. I found this video while searching for tips on how to put him together, and it just made me more excited to get into the hobby! My first kit and I thank you! :D
I got my first model kit on the way right now, and I'm so glad I watched this vid first instead of trying to go in blind. Thanks for the tips! =)
