Definitely MG Jesta It's cheap, awesome looking, non-complex build, fully articulated hands (which for Jesta's weaponry, works sufficiently fine), and provision for LED

as stated above, MG Jesta is a good solid choice for someone starting out, it's fairly new and is solid enough to not contain too many fragile parts.. just be very careful of the hands
otherwise, you can try for MG RX-78 3.0 since that's like a 1/100 RG with the color separation and decals, so you can get a feel of the intricacy of RGs as well as how much more details can be put into a bigger kit
also MG MS-09RS Char's Rick Dom is a fun choice too, feel free to pick up whichever one you fancy as these would afford you quite a good experience.. just try to stay away from transformable units first.. those will give you a big headache if you're just starting out

also if you'd like, u can look into MG Gundam X.. i think that one is a fantastic build and i had a lot of fun building it

eh that holo like sticker for satellite panel included?
how come X Maoh dont have? instead have very lame stickers

thx bro! will either take MG jesta or MG MS-09RS Char's Rick Dom `

Done decal and top coat, the bet rm280 I've spent ...now itchy to get new kit

Sphiroth....awesome build of the sazabi ! i respect you guys that can build so fast..i spent 2 hours today building my 1/60 PG wing also cant finish 1 page of the instructions!

It's fast because I didn't sanded the nub marks, just trimmed with knife, thus still visible if you look closely. The slowest part is decaling.

Overall, still an easier built than Nu ver. Ka.

good choice, it make ur gunpla look better..

The easier and quickest way to paint a gundam for a beginner is??? Feel like wanna paint my arios hg into black stealth arios

spray paint
masking will be a bother if you've already completed the kit.. better to take a look at the manual and parts first, figure out what color scheme you want then paint it piece by piece.. spray paint is best if u don't have enough money for an AB or on a budget

none of painting skill is easy, you must learn from scratch
no pain no gain, just take your time to learn

For a simple color swapping scheme, spray paint is more than enough. Note that acrylic-based should give you better quality.

All black or with color scheme?

Anyone hungry for some "manga"?

yup and easier haha

FG6 - Masked Rider Kabuto - Rider Form

Finally painted this little bugger (no pun intended)




What I did to mine:

1. Paint the silver part with Silver Sharpie marker. I find it works well to cover the nub marks.
2. Use Black Sharpie to paint the black part on Masked Form and to rectify mistakes if you accidentally spilled the silver paint area (No.1).
3. A dot of Silver Sharpie on the metallic red nub marks, wait for it to dry, and use Red Sharpie to cover it. Blends well.
4. Mr. Hobby Semi Gloss top coat.
5. Decals only on the Kabuto Zecter and the shoe soles.

I think I like this kit so much due to the easiness of painting the necessary parts, where for Gundams, due to its robotic design and less curvy area, AB is a better way to do it.
Needless to say, I'm not fond of the Masked Form very much

Any simple rules to follow before spray paint it??? Newbie here

Currently my idea is all black with some red color and panel lining
