I’ve always wanted to write a tutorial, but often find myself in a deficit of time or self determination to actually write one. so I thought to myself, instead of leaving my blog without a gunpla tutorial entry, why not just lead intrepid web searchers on the right direction. ^^

Once in a while, you might encounter people who would verbally b*tchslap you for building plastic models in a certain way. my take on that is: if you set out to build a model of a car and it looks like car in the end, then you’ve succeeded. ^^ So if you build your gundams differently from these tutorials, it doesn’t mean that the way you’re building your kit is wrong. it only means it’s different. heck! it’s possible that it might even be better. and if it is, then make a tutorial for yourself and share it to the world. ^^ and if possible send me the link as well. lol ^^;

anyway without further ado, here are two of my toplist recommended tutorials on building gunplas. click on the link to read more at their source page.

Danny Choo’s Gundam Modeling Tutorial

for those who don’t have much time on their hands or Gunpla beginners here is the tutortial for you. the methods mentioned in this tutorial is pretty much how I build my gundams. Danny’s tutorial is straight forward, easy to understand with pictures showing how gunpla is painted, built and detailed (not necessarily in that order). ^^

Micheal Fichtenmayer’s How to build master grade Gundams

For people who seem a lot more serious on how they build their models and with a bit more experience under their belts, this is the link for you. Micheal Fichtenmayer’s webpage: Fichtenfoo, shows how pros generally build their gunla. albeit his methods are a bit time consuming but the finished products on his site would definitely speak for themselves.
