this is really the best way to get started. just buy a cheap but modern high grade kit that looks really cool to you, some entry level plastic nippers (~$20), and follow the instructions.

i say the "but modern" part because some older/cheaper models require plastic cement or glue, and its no fun for your first model to figure that poo poo out. modern models are mostly all snap tight at this point. :cheers:

does this apply to all types of models now? I found the glue poo poo was a huge barrier to entry when I was younger and wanted to build cars and jets.

Pretty sure this is the series I have

EVANGELION - RG UNIT-01 - Model Kit Multicolor BAS5058925

oh yeah cashola wise I got the unit 02 last night and it was 50-60 quid which iirc is similar to what I paid for 01 and 00 two years ago




Thanks Pablo and Sub-Actuality for the great sigs!

well. the one that glows in the dark and comes with the AT field is called "RG eva 01 night combat color" and it was 61 dollars when it was in production 2 years ago

unfortunately both of mine were P-Bandai exclusives and the aftermarket prices are rough but like, $120-$150 rough, not $300. the one EmmyOk mentioned is the standard release and looking at pre-orders is getting another printing in the next month or so

Ya mine only came with a gun and knife no badass at field! Was in storage so not sure about the glow in the dark. Super good quality and lots of detail in the build!

Once shot a man in Reno.

That's me.

I've got around ten kits coming in the mail and some photoetch add-ons for some Macross ships and a Yamato 1:450 sized kit. My girlfriend is going to be pissed twice, first when they come in and then a few days later when a few figurines that couldn't get shipped the first time arrive.

One of the photoetch kits is going on this ship;

Went to a couple local hobby stores today but all they seemed to sell were those pop vinyls, like whole walls full of them. I'll have to do some research to find a good store.

I was just in my local shop to get stuff for my kid's scout pinecar. Apparently their big thing is 40k but they had a couple shelves of gunpla so I might give it a try

While I was in there a guy who identified himself as one of New Jersey's top five Yu Gi Oh players was talking with the owner about getting into the competitive WH40k scene.
