And the editing, it puts everything well together! Wow. I can see you’ve put in a lot of effort into the editing, it really shows. I hope to see you with more Gunplas in the future. 😁 P.S. if you you’re looking for more kits to build, HG Darilbalde from the Witch from Mercury line is awesome. It’s a strong red and with panel lining, the details pop.

I love the quality of your videos! Welcome to the hobby, if you're already onto your second kit it's too late to turn back now lol. You've got plenty of options to explore, i just recommend giving every grade a try to get a taste of what all is out there. Hell there's 3 other HG kits of Gramps that are currently in print that build entirely differently from each other if you want to see engineering variety, and if you really want to struggle with small parts look into RGs! The RG Gramps is the same size as the HG but with over 250 parts (i don't recommend the RG Gramps specifically tho, get a more recent RG if you want to try them out or wait until later this year for the new version of RG Gramps that was just announced)

I've technically built gunpla before when I was a kid but I recently picked the hobby back up a few months ago nearly twenty years later after watching The Witch from Mercury. I've since been working my way through most of the Witch from Mercury kits and they have been a blast to build, I highly recommend just about any of them. I just have three more left before I start giving RG kits a shot. RG kits didn't exist when I last built a gunpla and from what I understand they've effectively got the detail of an MG wrapped in the scale of an HG and I'm really looking forward to the challenge. Cheers, and I hope you try your hand at more gunpla.

Id go with rx-seventy m8 Hg gundams are great for beginners and experts alike. They're a blank canvas if you want to delve into the realm of customization. If you want kits that are comparable in size, but significantly more detailed out of the box, I'd go with real grades. Newer ones. They are in numerical order, and I'd only work on 25 and higher. Master grades are great but take up a lot of room.

If you look at the head, particularly the v-fin, you’ll see that on the tips there are some safety nubs to keep them from being too pointy. This is in most HG’s, but you can make them look sharper by snipping it a little, cleaning it with a knife, then sanding it down. It’s a simple change, but it makes a big difference.
