My fiancee loves building gundams--he panel lines and airbrushes the pieces and everything. It's not really my thing, especially because I never watched any gundam shows, BUT I will definitely recommend the new-ish show Gundam Build Fighters. The characters build the gundam models and then "fight" with them. It's so much fun, even without any prior gundam knowledge! You can watch it free (and good quality) on youtube, though I think it's subbed. The second season isn't as good, but is still fun.<br /><br />Season 1 playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9H1u1zFVNc&list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx-0WipavLDd3mFSLJL1r2XQGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932189265366708589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-30432922668144576952016-10-05T21:55:26.547-04:002016-10-05T21:55:26.547-04:00Second vote for UGears!

Wa...Gundam models are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Wait til you get better and move up to higher grade models. They get trickier but look so much COOLER! <br />I personally have a preference for the "bad guys" because they tend to come in darker colors and I'm not all about the red/white/blue color scheme. My two favorites are Epyon and Deathscythe, they're both from the same series and are on opposite sides so I do like one "good guy." <br /><br />Oh man, you're gonna get addicted and start modifying them and coloring them they way you want and you'll soon have an army of steampunked Gundams I just know it. I can't wait to see pictures from that day.

It's a Sailor Moon inspired Gundam. This particular Gundam series had awful, ridiculous builds. A windmill Gundam? Check. An American-football inspired Gundam that could surf? Check. G Gundam is timeless and cheesy.
