For Those New To Gunpla
Was building a cute little SD Wing Gundam during one of our many rain storms this summer.
I hardly ever complete my kits with decals because eventually I want to paint them.
It's a very fun immersive hobby. This hobby is as affordable as you want it to be.
Kits start at:
8$-25$ for SD (Super Deformed/chibi style)
HG High Grade 1/144 scale 18$-30$ for most normal sized kits to 140$ for massive 11 inch tall Psycho Gundam.
RG Real Grade 30$-70$ for most 8 inch kits, which are same measuremnts as the HG 1/144 scale.
MG Master Grade 50$-260$ 1/100 scale, these are usually your tall boys, keep in mind Gundam are usually smaller in scale compared to the antagonists Mobile Suits. The more plastic there is the more you will pay.
PG Perfect Grade 170$-900$ 1/60 Scale, the real tall boys. Upwards to 18 inches tall with hundreds of pieces & often times lighting. I only have 1, the Evangelion Eva Unit 01.
Then there are in between scales like MGSD Master Grade Super Deformed, 60-80$ a smaller scale master grade detailed kit. Mostly Gundams until the soon launch of the Kshatria which will cost about 100$ (I preordered it)
In total I have about 70 something kits with 18 built, 10 of which I painted/airbrushed.

@dougmulle you haven't ONLY built 1 Gundam, you built your FIRST Gundam. Get out there & do our Char proud! Plenty of amazing kits lol.

Cristian Carlone72 days agoNice overview and good explanations. I find SD cute but I was never compelled to buy or build one. If you can get your hands on the RX-78-2 PG Unleashed you are in for a real treat! You have a decent backlog. Mine more than a backlog is a pile of shame….. i have over 150 gunpla to build, including a PG. About 50 of them are in display in their boxes at the science fiction and fantasy museum in my city, part of the permanent collection I donated to the museum.

@cristiancarlone I honestly did not expect to fall in love with the hobby as hard as I did. It gets harder to choose the next build, when there are so many to choose from...then I buy another one lol. I prefer this over gaming now.

@giggavegamichael, it’s a pretty “addictive” hobby, indeed! So fun and rewarding, though!
