GUIDE for Beginners

Lvl 1 : Try a couple of our Level 1 model kits. No tools are required. These "touch gate" snap-fit models are perfect for starters.

Lvl 2 : Next try HG models. High Grades have a lot of play value upon completion, but don't forget you'll need basic tools!

Lvl 3 : To continue building more models, you can build a collection of tools to make the process smoother and easier.

Lvl 4 : Once the kit is built, you can make it look better with a variety of methods like panel lining, top coating, and applying decals!

MG FA-78 Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt Ver.Ka

Pretty great - This one has a TON of things going on. Once it is all completed, the base that comes with it can barely support it, I would recommend getting an actual action base for it (I was able to get it to stand by itself). There are 2 phases to this one, first is the base unarmored gundam. Once that is complete, you go and attach all the armor (the purple/blue pieces). I'm not at a level where I am painting yet (but I hope to be), it seems like it would take a lot of work to erase nubs and seam lines via repainting. The inner frame joints are covered in a kind of plastic/mylar that was a PAIN to work with. Not to mention you are expected to cut off the excess after you have tied it off below the pegs. If your tie is not tight enough and it slips off, or falls off for whatever reason, it's pretty much game over. What I did was wait until I was absolutely ready to attach the limb to the body before cutting off the excess. I would not like to work with that material ever again. (Also, as parts of it is exposed, I don't know how/what it will look like if you apply top coat to the completed model). I am by no means an advanced builder, this particular model I have no plans on painting or doing anything fancy (maybe just a top coat to lock in the decals).
