Hi guys, I am planning to start assemble a gundam model. But I am unsure whether is it hard to assemble it. Any advice for me to lookout for and tips or what is easier to build as I am a newbie. I am afraid that I might have bought the wrong ones or something. Anyway, I am quite interested in Throne Zwei and Masurao. Are they they hard to assemble or are they even available? Thanks. notworthy.gif

last time i checked Throne Zwei, it was RM40, Masurao is already available at AF Hobby for RM59, check it out  wink.gif , its not necessary to start with a HG, anyone can always try a MG as a first time too
i bet ur a OO fan, why not try the Master Grade Exia?  brows.gif

Thanks for the tips. What's the difference between HG and MG? Other than the price lol.

It's same wan assemble MG or HG. Everyone here will give u different advise.
As long as u follow manual and cut the nips nicely, your model kit will look nice and great =)

I see thank you. =)

I started out with MG kits and those were fun. Although they can be time consuming and a sore to the fingers, haha biggrin.gif but whatever do, don't start with MG Kampfer, or even MG Sinanju; both have sharp edges and Kampfer especially have a rather brittle material for the blue parts sad.gif wil be VERY frustrating for beginners..
HGUC Nu-Gundam is a nice kit to start with, IMO.. and yes, the MG Exia as well smile.gif

Yea... I don't want to start with a model that breaks easily. haha... thanks for your advice.

so if you are scared of destroying your 1st gundam get a HG, but if you have a fat wallet. well you can buy whichever you like

LOL Unfortunately I don't have a fat wallet.

Another thing, which one is better zwei, masurao or exia or any other suggestion? smile.gif

Whoa... from HG Throne Zwei or HG Masurao to MG Sinanju or MG Sazabi...  rclxms.gif

Yes, MG Sinanju is a better kit than MG Sazabi although i wouldn't suggest it for a first timer like you.

*
Didn't like Zwei or Masurao after looking at the reviews in youtube cos both looks weird to me it's like they are too skinny and will snap at any moment. Then I saw Saz and Sin and both looks cool. smile.gif

yes, indeed the MG Sazabi is lousy and kenot pose much. and the Sinanju definitely pwns the Sazabi in every way. but if u really do wan a Sazabi, i'd suggest the HG version of it. cuz its articulationwise is waaaay better than its predecessor's MG.  wink.gif
well, nobody could stop anyone from getting his first MG biggrin.gif, let him decide wats more awsm to him. my first was the Gundam 2.0. and i followed exactly wat the manual says and it turned out just the way i expected  sweat.gif , well careful though ;P.

Lolz.... ahaha went to a shop today cos wanted to look at the HG version of Saz but it's already sold out. Will got to more shops to hunt around. laugh.gif

Get both biggrin.gif

SIEG ZEON !

RM310 is a bit expensive for either, but if it's the best (by best it also includes convenience) price then why not?
Personally, if you are going to spend that amount of money on an MG you might as well go for the Sinanju. It's much newer and better in terms of articulation and material quality, plus it has more intricate details. Oh, it's also a paintjob nightmare too but if you're going to spend money on it there's no reason not to spend time making it beautiful. No rush at all.

Sazabi... HGUC is good enough. Similar, if not better articulations compared to the MG version; but much cheaper. Due to its bulk it doesn't look out of place beside your typical 1/100 scaled gunpla either.

I see thanks for the tips. Currently I'll be still hunting around because I am not in a rush. smile.gif
