That was so much fun. A huge shout out to Norm and Tested for taking the time to chat about my latest Gundam build.

While the work on this kit is gorgeous, I do want anyone thinking this is anything near “normal” GunPla to not worry. This is like, the furthest extreme level of it. You can get deep into GunPla building and never need to worry about sanding or masking or any of that if you don’t actively want to go down that road. Don’t let the insanity and complexity of this build put you off.

Matt got me into building Gundam! He's such a legend!

Mighty fine Sazabi. The designs in Char's Counterattack were just perfection. I normally favor Zeon design, but the Jegan and Nu look just as good as the Geara Doga and Sazabi.

Love Matt, very helpful in the community and has a lot of content that can help you.

[PlamoSpecialist]

Awesome interview! Matt is a master in his craft! One of the greats!

The timing of this is perfect. I'm halfway through my first MG build and just getting ready to score some new panel lines before painting

For those who want to check out this mech in regular model kit form, this is the Sazabi from Gundam Char's Counterattack. It has 3 major versions, the HG, the RG and the MG Ver Ka. The HG is the cheapest but it's super simple. The RG is arguably the best version and is fairly affordable and it's quite complex. The MG Ver Ka is the largest, it's incredibly detailed and complex but it's the most expensive one.

Built my first Gundam since the 80s a few weeks ago. So satisfying.

I love building Gundam, some of my favorite memories from growing up and I’ve even built one or two as an adult! They’re just badass

[fattiger]

I got into Gunpla about a year and a half ago and I've recently started doing some custom projects. So these kinds of videos are fascinating to me.

[skanndelus]

Matt is a legend in the statue community too

[Gundumb_guy]

Very clean build and that base is bonkers.

[narutobroken]

This dude is a modern day Michelangelo, the amount of skill it takes to paint like that is insane

[WingZero]

Gunpla is freedom!!!

Also, get Adam building another gunpla kit. That PGU build he did was an awesome video.

[Kyojinsei]

Building simple snap kits as a kid, man i had no clue the work, time, effort and "sanding" involved. Looks incredible, fantastic job. Way cool.

[skeltonslayer]

My MG red comet should show up this week. Can’t wait

[twopercent]

Magnets use on any model is always tho most impressive part to be.
So simple as a final product but takes incredible craftsmanship to get right

[ryanmac]

That Zentradi officer's battle pod is incredible!

[smcdonough]

God damn that Sazabi looks amazing. Great work
