Like so many Gunpla builders out there, I also watched Adam Savage’s Tested video on the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 and was absolutely blown away with the level of detail and the sheer scale of this Grandaddy Gundam! I had to have this kit! It also just so happened that our boys at Gundam Gateway hadContinue reading “PG Unleashed RX-78-2”

Whilst waiting on replacement parts for the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 from our saviors at Mecha Parts Guy, I decided to start a new kit. Shipping from the US to the UK at the moment is rather slow… The Real Grade (RG) Red Astray is another one of those kits that comes highly recommended by aContinue reading “RG Red Astray”

Several weeks ago, I had started the most ambitious project yet on this blog. The rather epic PG Unleashed RX-78-2 kit! Progress was surprisingly steady and I was thoroughly enjoying the build. Work had been pretty hectic for a few days so the kit had to be shelved for a short period. After getting backContinue reading “Mecha Parts Guy”

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam is set in Universal Century (UC 0133) and there are space pirates! Tobia Arronax is the main protagonist of this Manga and he piloted the XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1. This particular Real Grade (RG) kit comes highly recommended by the Gunpla community for it’s great detail and overall building experience. WeContinue reading “RG Crossbone”

A number of months ago, I spotted a kit for pre-order over on the Armour of God website. From the manga series ‘Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Missing Link‘. I’ve picked up a few kits from Armour of God in the past. If you’re in the UK and looking to scratch that Gunpla itch andContinue reading “P-Bandai HG Pale Rider Cavalry”

This absolute monster of a Mobile Suit appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack. The Sazabi was constructed by Anaheim Electronics and piloted by the infamous Char Aznable. The MSN-04 Sazabi Ver.Ka (MG) is by far the largest and most ambitious Gunpla kit we’ve assembled so far and we’ve pulled out all the stops. ThisContinue reading “MG Sazabi Ver Ka”

The innovators at GunPrimer have been hard at work once again. We’ve had our hands on their new Sand-Loop Flex sponges for a while now but have not been able to talk about them publicly. Now that they’re officially on sale on the GunPrimer webstore, let’s take a look! Sanding products, this is an areaContinue reading “GunPrimer – Sand Loop Flex Review”

A few kits were back in stock with our boys at Gundam Gateway! We’ve been waiting on these Gundam 00 Mobile Suits and several others for quite some time. The backlog was non-existent to this point and this had to be dealt with! Having both of these kits displayed with some rather fitting aftermarket accessoriesContinue reading “Journey into Gunpla #011”

It’s been quite some time since I last assembled a Real Grade kit. There are so many to choose from and the scale is rather enjoyable to build. The easiest way to them is the scale of a High Grade (HG) and the detail of a Master Grade (MG). Real Grade kits are much moreContinue reading “RG Force Impulse”

Mobile Suit Gundam was first released 42 years ago (from the date this buildlog was published). To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of this incredible franchise, Bandai released a special edition of the very first Mobile Suit. The HG RX-78-2 Beyond Global. The RX-78-2 was piloted by Amuro Ray, he is the main character of MobileContinue reading “HG RX-78-2 Beyond Global”
