A simple step-by-step guide to building the perfect Gundam model

Building a Gundam model is a fun and creative hobby that can result in astonishing plastic model kits. For all enthusiastic builders out there, here's a basic step-by-step guide to assembling your own Gundam and making it look fantastic!

Step 1: Preparation

Dragon Shield Double Shell - Shadow Black/Black

Before you start building, make sure you have the right equipment. In addition to the kit itself, you should also have a cutter, tweezers, sandpaper, and possibly a panel liner for details.

Step 2: Building details

Each of the Gundam's parts fit together in specific ways, so it's important to read the instructions carefully. Always start by building the main structure: torso, legs, arms, and head.

Step 3: Refine and assemble

Use sandpaper to smooth out the edges where the plastic is uneven. Be careful not to rub too much. Once all the parts are assembled, make sure all pieces are properly seated and adjust if necessary.

  • A practical method is to use a Chronicle RPGs - Paint Cup to keep your tools and parts organized while you build. You can find it here: Chronicle RPGs - Paint Cup (Black).

Step 4: Add details

Now it's time to bring your model to life! Use panel liners to mark and highlight lines and details on the model.
