Great job! I would recommend that for future builds, if you don't plan to paint you should use panel line accent while parts on the runner and let it dry first before cutting out and assembling. If you apply after building, you run the risk of it seeping into spaces where it can't dry, and it'll eat away at the plastic and crack it. I learned that the hard way unfortunately.
Nice. I’m thinking of getting into this hobby. I used to have one as kid I made in the early 2000s of Gundam Deathscythe. However that was the only one I ever did
RG's are certainly not for beginners, however there are some genuinely nice ones. I think basically anything from the Unicorn Gundam onwards is considered good (Unicorn is NOT for beginners though). Out of the few I have I enjoyed building Wing Gundam (TV series ver), even with the RG stickers placed on it, it fits nicely with the HG kits of the rest of the team. Crossbone was hilarious with how small it is and what they managed to achieve, it even has an opening cockpit! I am currently 70%-80% through building Unicorn (so I know it's not for beginners!) It's looking very nice but will certainly be turned into NT-D mode and remain like that. I may this Christmas get RG Nu Gundam as a finale.
I recommend build the RG hi-nu its really satisfying to build also RG god gundam, and yes RG unicorns are not beginner friendly, tho I build RG banshee as my first RG xD I had no problems as long we know how the joints move or any other issues.
my rg unicorn remains in unicorn mode since I already have a perfect grade version in nt-d gloriously lit up. Also, when you say crossbone was hilarious, do you mean it was fun or a pain in the butt?
@@Demiurge13 Crossbone was funny because I knew it was going to be small for being an RG but never realised just how tiny they managed to make it/the pieces!
Ya… Obviously… pg parts are bigger… i got mg 3.0 on the way… similar design as the rg… also the mega size… and also planning to get the old pg… i’m misses the fully articulated hand 😅😅😅😅 thats missing in the pgu
No fully english manual but u can try using google translate to read the japanese on the manual… no english becoz of the kit it pretty old… newer kit now comes with jap/eng… but if u have a closer look at the pic provided… should be no problem… do u have any problem during assembly?
trust me you don't need it in english. parts are labelled with letters and numbers and the instructions are all in easy to understand picture format. A child can follow it
Ur right… i do se the pic and look at the angle or the images with the actual thing on my hands… having a background in art design and someone whose particular with small detail really helps.. p/s i do make a few mistakes haha
my exact question right now. My anxiety was through the roof when Akira-san cut everything and placed into containers. We have different ways to go through these so to each their own. The OG Gundam looks so good. I now want to get this.
@@jaytee1903 well u can say i look closely at the graphical pic on the instruction and compare it with the actual item… if u are not that confident u can cut it on at a time ade do one by one… what ever suits you… and makes u comfortable… im working on my mg 3.0 now ad right after that eg and the mega size
@@usuiakira i agree that the instructions help a lot.This might be my next RG to work on based on what is available nearby. THank you for this video. You did a great job editing
@jaytee1903 most welcome i try my best not to go too long and not too short... Nex build ill try to get the assembly part clear or just a vid on me do a uncut assembly since a few ask me how i attach few parts
Clean video! Finally bought mine for my 80th kit. Just finished the RG Zeta which some dub as the trashiest kit together with this one. (It's actually good, not great.)
Tq... planning to keep all my vid this way.. for the time being... Im in for the design only and not gonna do any crazy pose all the time... Most of the time display at the shelf... So i dont mind if it have the syndrome... Dont bother me as much... Waiting for the 2.0 a mini version of pgu 😁
@@usuiakira i agree on all your points. You just have to be gentle and careful with it. Not play the model kit like a toy. Can't wait for the 2.0! I'm currently building the mega sized and ordered the 3rd party 1/35 GTO. You should check it out
@bangf1sh sure ill check it out… cuz im on my way also doing the mega size… right after i finished mg 3.0… super excited to see people build it… i really want to get my hands on the rx-78f00 mega size…. Sob sob
@@usuiakira yeah I want that too, even the MG. But I can't find a megasize that is reasonably priced. Even the MG. Also I just finished building the mega size rx782, just needs panel lining and decals. It looks awesome. Solid kit too. Upscaled high grade.
@bangf1sh thats awesome… ill definetly will chek ur build… cant wait for mine… btw to u panel line it? Shud i go with panel line accent or marker? I do have both
I got this from hobby lobby 40% off as my first gundam, built it with a leatherman micra multi tool on my keychain,its a blend of fun and misery, i figure if i can handle this i can handle any kit now, i only broke it in half once trying to seperate the skirt piece on the frame
How easily is this meant to snap together? Everything feels great on mine until the boosters on the backpack. They just dont go on the ball joints. Tried lightly sanding, the best i can manage is having them lightly sit on there (but they fall off when touched). If i push the arms so they go onto the pegs properly it squeezes the shoulders and they explode, pieces going everywhere under my desk. Had issues with the top of the helmet fitting properly as well. Now its together i'm too scared to touch it in case bits fall off. Probably a skill issue but just wondering if anyone has any advice here 😂
A bunch of the ball joints don't snap into place, they just rest. The one thing I've noticed with this kit compared to the RX-93 Nu, is that things sit a little looser.
Ya some a people a bit loose... Some tooo loose some ok... I dunno myb depend on how the assmble it... I dont really know coz mine still ok just a bit loose here n there not that much... I just put it in normall standing pose... Good thing the 2.0 is comming this year cant wait to get my hand on one.... Already pre order it... ☺️ That one looks more like pgu....
@@usuiakira I wish they announced the 2.0 before I bought this haha. I am both excited about the 2.0 (it looks really awesome) but I also kind of don't want to look at another rx78-2 for a while 😂 Was good practice though. Are there other RGs you like? Need to order my next one soon :)
its a nice looking kit, but the build process is a bitch in general. I've built gunpla for a few years now and hated doing the RG01. If this by any means left a bad taste in your mouth, I'd recommend most RG kits past the unicorn.
I coudnt agree more… its one nice looking kit… but with many flaws… a bit frustrated… wish they would do v2.0 in the future… would love to see it got a treatment like the mg kit
If u hot gonna do much pose with it or play around with it… its fine… For me after puting it together i would rather leave it like that… and not to do any poses haha… but ill do that after i put some water decal on it…

Luckly rg part dont really have much panel line areas… im planning on other rx-78-2 variant later in the future… anyway thanks for the heads up…

@kramlatte5673 already put nu gindam in my wish list… planning to get the side-f version… as for hi-nu i like that one also.. but not as much as nu…

@@Demiurge13 Crossbone was funny because I knew it was going to be small for being an RG but never realised just how tiny they managed to make it/the pieces!
i got the pg rx 78 and honestly the build experience might be easier than RG cuz the parts are big and easier to work with compared to RG
Ya… Obviously… pg parts are bigger… i got mg 3.0 on the way… similar design as the rg… also the mega size… and also planning to get the old pg… i’m misses the fully articulated hand 😅😅😅😅 thats missing in the pgu
@@usuiakiratrue i was kinda disappointed bcz the hand doesn't have any articulation
Also no 3rd party doing it… or bandai doing a replacement part for it… thats one thing why i dont like pgu… anyway waiting for rg 2.0 😍😍🤩🤩
I just bought this today - my first build. Is there a manual/instruction in english??
No fully english manual but u can try using google translate to read the japanese on the manual… no english becoz of the kit it pretty old… newer kit now comes with jap/eng… but if u have a closer look at the pic provided… should be no problem… do u have any problem during assembly?
trust me you don't need it in english. parts are labelled with letters and numbers and the instructions are all in easy to understand picture format. A child can follow it
@@Demiurge13 yup true… the pic alone is enough
How do you manage to know which part is this part without their number? Just by comparing them with the picture in the manual?
Ur right… i do se the pic and look at the angle or the images with the actual thing on my hands… having a background in art design and someone whose particular with small detail really helps.. p/s i do make a few mistakes haha

How do you put on the back of the feet on because I'm having some trouble
Which part? I just follow the instructions 😅😅
He is saying how to put the e1(15) and c7 parts on the back of the feet
@facilityepik2692 owh… need to check back… basically from the instruction its stright foward remember to se the orientation of the image carefully
