I dont think that is an announcement of a kit. Thats just a custom made by that woman to try and make gunpla appealing to other people, like fans of whatever band she is in.

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread) So yeah... |
The strike rouge is a custom built by her. The other two are actual releases.

BTW can anyone tell whether the Builder Strike is using a new HG mould for the Strike parts? Or are they the same as the old one? |

So yeah, 2 personal custom kits like many celebrities have already done in the past, none of which are public releases. |

So.... Since this thread is about model discussion and whatnot I figured I might as well ask: What is the best (or cheapest) way someone with very little model building experience get into gunpla building? Is their a guide picture/chart that would help out with that? Other miscellaneous information worth mentioning? |

You can start with almost any grade of kit, provided you have: 1. Patience 2. Enough common sense to figure out the manual instructions by comparing the images to parts while assembling, even though its all in Japanese 3. Money, the most natural limiting factor for all of us lol Heres a basic video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TSoH7yhrB0 At the cheapest, you probably want to go with the HG line of kits, which can range from $15-35 (not factoring shipping), best selection too Tools mainly depend on what you want to get out of your kit, I suggest you AT LEAST have the following: 1. Hobby Knife with changeable/replaceable blades 2. Q-tips 3. Toothpicks 4. Color markers, like the ones you would find on a grade school kid, they are the best "budget" nubmark hiders 5. Nippers/Sprue cutters, can range from $8-25 but are probably the most important tool to have 6. Gundam lining marker/pen, for "panel lining", some good art pens like "Sakura" works too Theres alot more you can do/buy past this but these are the basics |

Any particular under 30 bucks high grades you guys recommend? Preferably ones with bare minimal accessories (I am one of those guys that likes keeping everything together.... dorky I know). I do have a couple of mobile suit favorites lists for ideas. |

HG RX-79 [G] Gundam Ground type HG Gundam EZ-8 HG Gundam X HG Gundam X Divider HG ZZ Gundam HG God Gundam HG AGE-1 Normal (or choose the alternate forms) HG AGE-2 Normal (or choose the alternate forms) HG AGE-3 Normal (or choose the alternate forms) HG AGE FX (or choose the Burst version) HG Gundam Exia HG Gundam Exia Repair II HG 00 Gundam (there’s also HG 00 Raiser if you want it) HG 00 Qan[T] HG Destiny Gundam Or you can wait for the new release of HG Wing, Double X, & Victory if you don’t like the above. I won't recommend HGs from SEED line (except Destiny and few others) coz they generally have terrible proportion (dwarfish-looking) and bad articulation. On the other hand, the old Wing EW HGs have decent proportion but a bit flimsy after a straight-build. |
X-Divider, ZZ, Qan [T], and to a much smaller extent Age-3 are the only leads in that list that seem appealing. I was thinking in favor of a non-gundam mobile suit/armor.

A bit off topic, but are there any Age suits that have not been released in HG form? |

2. The last Vagan MS in arc 2, the one that's supposed to assassinate the prime minister. 3. The golem type Vagan MS in the desert. 4. The amphibious MS that Zeheart used in 3rd season. 4. The giant MS that the big guy from Vagan was using. 5. 2 Zaku types, brown and violet, from season 1. 6. The construction type MS. Those are the ones who appeared in the anime, as for the Manga, there are a lot of course. Sorry if I forgot their names XD |

Note: It’s common knowledge that HG (and below-scale kits) need a bit painting in some areas (you can do it with markers. Gundam-marker is recommended). For some particular HGs, you need a lot painting. |
Wow, thank you Obelisk! This helps narrow it down for me! I am a tad dumbstruck that Dijeh and Ashtaron HC have no kit (how is that possible?) but oh well.

if you don't have the coloring tool, then do not buy hg from seed and seed-d, as they need a lot of coloring.
Generally speaking, most of the models from hguc have great match of color so you don't have to paint much and hguc (or w, x, and g unverise) seems to be getting better and better. If you like double x as you mentioned in the earlier post, then I suggest you to wait a little bit and let double x be your first gundam model. First model will always be a bit more special and you will like your double x even more :D I personally would prefer a model that doesn't have too much weight in the back otherwise the model can't stand in the ground. (unfortunately double x is one of those...) you can always buy a stand, but it will cost too much space if you plan to buy more of the models. lastly, this is not selling commercial, as I do not relate to that site at all, but dalong. net always has nice review on every single model. It even shows what the model looks like without painting and label. It's in korean tho, but I just look at the pic so I don't care what it says XD Hope it helps |
It did help, thanks Just! Of course now I'm so overwhelmed I don't know where to begin.:eyespin: DECISIONS
