Gundam for Beginners.

You should always do a lot of research before you buy a Gundam model kit. I have heard that many peoples' first Gundam is a Master Grade (MG). I think that the first Gundam you get should be a High Grade Universal Century (HGUC).

If you need to know what tools you need, view my Supplies post.

The first Gundam I ever built was the HGUC Zaku I. I would recommend this Gundam because: It has good flexibility, it comes with lots of weapons, and it is a relatively easy build. Of course, the newer HGUC models are incredible, and could actually be compared with early MG's.

Some HGUC Gundam that I would recommend are:
Gundam GP03
Dom Tropen
Z'gok E
Gundam NT-1 "Alex"
Advanced Hazel
Zaku I
Zudah
Acguy
Re-Gz
Nu Gundam (HWS)
Sazabi
Hi-Nu Gundam
Jegan
Full Armor Gundam 7th
Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn or Destroy mode)
Geara Zulu

My favorite of these is probably the Jegan or the Unicorn Gundam.
