>>9125069I started out building gunpla because I was awed by the great engineering at the time (MG 1.0 when you can somewhat open hatch too, made them fell like real machines put in plastic form) and never knew anything about Gundam.
different folks, different strokes. but I believe that its better for a beginner start with a great kit and to be more wowed to building a kit that is interesting to build rather than building what he/she likes.
