This hobby or any hobby is not cheap, thus I highly recommend investing slowly and buy only the good stuff. Unless you like collecting cheaper alternatives, its really up to you. Cheers. ☺️

My daughter NICO is more active in gunpla these days than me, so if you are into gunpla, custom gunpla and gunpla diorama, I highly recommend my daughter's channel below...

"Get good tools or you'll collect a ton of I've got a lot of crap"

That made me crack up as I looked at my ton of crap.

Gundam is definitely an intimidating hobby to get into(atleast for me), I'm thankful to have individuals like you who still encourage people to try this amazing yet costly hobby!

Great video, Don ! Thanks to you and Nico this "retired old man" learned a lot about modelling techniques . When I saw PU reducer I thought it was a spray you use after you got to the bathroom !😁 Thank you for posting . Hope you have a great week, Tony

Ay thanks, I just got into a Gunpla kick recently as an alternative hobby to my usual art job and I wanted to get into simple mods and weathering to start out. Your vids are really insightful

[SonicAlpha]

This was a really good video, and definitely helped steer me in the right direction. Thank you so much 💕

[Ganhohobs]

Thank you for this video I'm just starting my hobby, and this helps a lot.

Man these vids are always a gold mine of info, thanks heaps Don 😊

[janlim]

Definitely an informative video.

Would like to have a beginners guide in weathering gunpla the easy way. 😅

That Vallejo pin vice is the same that GW used to sell in the 90's. I have two of those and all I've had to do is put a little oil now and then to stop the end part squeaking. Great tool.

Excellent video too, even though my shopping list has now grown 🤣👍

"Old, but new to the hobby" 🤣🤣 love it

Great video! I've been painting minis for over tenish years now and I've been wanting to dip my toes into the Gunpla hobby, but I've been a little intimidated. I'm glad that most of my skills will transfer nicely, still concerned with which model kit to pick first, however!

Hello from Canada and thankyou for the info great video! I just Subscribed

[saiahmad]

It's been that long eh, I remember we started out with blog sites back then. And yours was with the yellow kampfer 😆

[LKjolo]

Really helpful vid! Does the PU Reducer acts as plastic cement?

[MaskedRiderChris]

Great, just what I need, *another* hobby to drain away my hard earned cash. Joking aside, this is a tempting idea, but ugh, even my level of OCD would be seriously taxed if ever I took up Gunpla! Also, with how the US economy is right now, I'm glad I have a pile of shame to be working through so I can be saving even a little bit of money. Maybe someday, though!

That small olfa blade fits the tamiya handel ?

I never disassemble. I try to plan out my paints before I ever put the kit together.

My opinion on wet sanding, there doesn’t seem any difference vs. dry sanding, except wet sanding is cleaner. I’m using both coarse and fine type sand papers.

[lanesteele]

You are wrong. Step one is buying the kit. 😂

[RezaQin]

Get yourself some nippers, an xacto, a file, and a panel line marker. That's really all you need.

Great info for everyone planning on starting their model making hobby! Nailed it kabayan! 🦾
