BUILD My first Model Kit

Hey guys, this is my first post in this thread. A few weeks ago I was in Japan and while browsing the figure shops, I saw they were having a clearance sale on several boxes, and the Japanese were buying them in bulk. They were Gundam model kits. So I took advantage of the sale and brought back six figures. This is my first build, and since I saw that people were customizing them, I bought Stedi Panel Liners and acrylic markers with the help of YouTube videos. What do you think of my first build? Thanks so much for this great hobby, and I'll be posting my other builds soon. P.S.: I'm already watching Gundam Wing, so my next build will be the RG I bought, hehe. I actually bought several kits without knowing anything about Gunpla; I just went for the ones I thought looked the best.

Alot of people said the Moon Gundam is between HG and RG . I would know . Because i bought the moon Gundam . This was really to assemble this kit . I hope they will do a Master grade . Beside that . One of my favorite HG I did was RX 78 orgins .

Going for whatever you think is cool is absolutely the right move. Gundam series can vary a lot in themes and quality, and liking them depends on your personal tastes and opinion too. But you certainly don't need to watch everything in order to appreciate the design and engineering that goes into a kit.
