Some of Our Favorite Gunpla 101 Reader Builds, Part 3

“We want to see your finished Gunpla!”

That’s the very first thing it says on our Contact page and we truly mean it. Thanks to that request, we’ve gotten to see some incredible builds from our community. We’re forever impressed with our readers’ model construction, photography, and creativity.

Here are some of our favorite new submissions:

We love to feature Gunpla beginners, and Sam says this 1/100 Master Grade Wing Gundam Proto Zero is his first finished Gunpla ever! “I took more time than I expected to on this kit compared to other types of model kits I’ve built in the past,” he said.

MacTan added some custom details to this little known HGUC 1/144 scale RGM-79N GM from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 – Stardust Memory. “Although the GM Custom was equipped with a 90mm GM rifle in the anime, I equipped the GM Custom with a long-range beam sniper rifle from System Weapon 004 kit. It really looks cool.” We agree, Mac.

“What’s better than having one Gundam Bear?” asks Mike. “Having the whole family! Even Grandpa is peeking out from the back.” We love this colorful collection.

Dennesh Dash shared his R-Gyagya on our Facebook Page, which is another way to submit to us. “Gunpla 101 really helped me a lot,” he said. “This R-Gyagya is my first Gunpla and I felt awesome after I finished building it, thank you guys very much for helping me,” he said. And thank you for sharing!

Sean M. sent us his take on a GM Sniper II with a Draken E. Sean has been building Gunpla since January, but he said this is his favorite that he’s built. We like it, too.

Want to be featured here? Gunpla 101 is for beginners and we don’t necessarily pick the most detailed or difficult models. Instead, you can drastically increase your chance of being featured here by providing a clear photo of your model. Check out our simple tutorial for doing so.

Note: Now that we are receiving a LOT of submissions, I can’t post every model photo sent to me. However, I do view and comment on every single one! So send away.
