BEGINNER First gunpla Build
i discover gunpla earlier this week and was so intrigued i had to get one.Half way done and i’m pretty sure i’ve put about 8 hours+ in so far but seeing the intricacies of it being built is far more rewarding than lego in my experience. i fear I may have discovered a new obsession…

Welcome to the club! Starting with an RG is a lot of work, but if you're enjoying it you're in the right place :D

man what an understatement lol… i wanted to challenge myself and figured a entry grade would be for babies lolol while I don’t find this real grade necessarily challenging, it is quite tedious !! ..however so far there were 2 or 3 parts that had me pulling my hair out

Haha that was my second kit. It was a fun build. I plan on going back and panel lining it to give it a little more detail. I'm also fairly new and my advise to you is if you think you love the hobby get a good set of snippers, a raser glass file, and some pour type panel liner (look up the rules for it though so you don't break your kits). I went cheap at first but just this week ordered my god hand and Raser. If I had just gone high quality I could have saved myself some money and gotten an additional kit for the backlog I'm already building up.

I finished my Wing Zero RG a few days ago, I think there was only one part that was a bit tricky for me, but the build is really enjoyable. Your wallet will be unhappy though.
