Bandai 1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka
The model kit was really nice the one issue I had is that the right arm was a bit too loose for liking
Great price for a great pair of tweezers.

Let's talk about the amazing world of SD, BB, and Cross Silhouette Gunpla. Ever fancy building cute yet badass models? Super Deformed and BB Senshi Gunpla is where it's at. These kits are recognized for their exaggerated and cartoonish proportions. They're a cinch to assemble, yet loaded with intricate details...
Read MoreGunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
SD kits are a fantastic starting point for newcomers! Their simpler design and fewer parts make assembly straightforward. But don't be fooled; they still offer intricate details that both novices and seasoned builders will appreciate.
SD kits do have a distinct 'chibi' or 'super-deformed' style with exaggerated proportions. While they'll definitely stand out due to their unique design, many collectors love the contrast they offer in a diverse Gunpla collection. It all boils down to personal preference!
The SD and SDCS lines from the Gundam universe feature deformed, "chibi" versions of iconic mobile suits. Popular SD models include the EX-Standard RX-78-2 Gundam and Legend BB Knight Gundam. The SDCS line, known for versatility with its two frame options, highlights the RX-78-2 Gundam and the Zaku II.
SD Gundam kits typically range from $10 to $30 AUD, depending on the model and complexity. Limited editions or more elaborate kits may cost more.
Basic Gunpla tools like nippers, a hobby knife, and tweezers will suffice for SD kits.
