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.

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.
"Build Divers" is set in the near future where players use Gunpla models to dive into a virtual universe called "GBN" (Gunpla Battle Nexus). Unlike traditional Gundam series that depict war narratives, "Build Divers" centers on cooperative online gaming, camaraderie, and the love of Gunpla building.
The story follows Riku Mikami, a young Gunpla enthusiast, and his friends. As they form a team named "Build Divers," they navigate challenges and battles within GBN, fostering friendships and rivalries with other Divers.
In GBN, players "dive" into the virtual space with their custom-built Gunpla. Battles vary from one-on-one duels to team-based missions, combining both strategy and Gunpla building skills. The virtual setting allows for creative and fantastical battle scenarios not bound by the physical world.
While many mobile suits in "Build Divers" are unique to characters, they're often customized versions of existing models from various Gundam series. This pays homage to the creativity of Gunpla builders who tweak and modify kits for personalized flair.
"Build Divers" introduces Gundam to a younger audience by emphasizing the fun and community aspect of Gunpla building and battling. While it nods to classic Gundam themes, its approach is more lighthearted and less rooted in the political and wartime narratives common in other series.
