Trying something a little different, consider this something of an experiment. Made a new blog post dedicated to me working on building a Gunpla model kit. I hope it's somewhat interesting and not unbearably dull! https://overclockworked.neocities.org/blog/2026/07-09/

Lovely! I didn't know these were snap together I thought they all needed glue etc, that's neat. Japanese War Bender. Bite my matte metal ass!

@p7uen I've built a few Japanese model kits (Bandai's Gunpla and a Star Wars X-Wing, Kotobukiya's Frame Arms Girl and Megami Device lines, and a Gradius Vic Viper kit by a third company I don't remember the name of) and they've all been push-fit as opposed to requiring glue. Not sure if it's the standard for model kits there, or just happens to be the case for the stuff I've been most interested in. Works for me!

Model making is one of those hobbies that Ive always wanted to try but never have! I fear i would get 2/3rds done then abandon it for something else! I really do love them though!

@cartridgeconfidential If you ever decide to give it a shot, Bandai's models are a really good starting point! There's a few Gundam model kits labeled as 'entry grade' which are designed to be newbie friendly (which was how I started), but if Gundam's not your thing then they've got other stuff too like their Star Wars range or 30 Minute Missions (an original line of mecha models not adapted from pre-existing anime)

@overclockworked I might look into getting an Eva 01 model one day! I'll let you know if I do!
