Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (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 Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What establishes the Universal Century as distinctive among Gundam timelines?

The UC is the original Gundam timeline, beginning with "Mobile Suit Gundam" (1979). It's acclaimed for its intricate political and military narratives, portraying the cyclical nature of human conflict across multiple series and films.

How does the One Year War define the UC narrative?

The One Year War is a cataclysmic conflict between Earth Federation and Principality of Zeon. It sets the tone for future UC events and introduces iconic characters and mobile suits, with its repercussions felt throughout subsequent UC entries.

What are "Newtypes" in the UC context?

Newtypes are humans who've evolved to adapt to space living. They possess heightened spatial awareness and, often, telepathic abilities. Newtypes challenge UC's socio-political dynamics, representing both hope and exploitation.

These sequels explore the post-One Year War universe. "Zeta" and "ZZ" delve into subsequent conflicts and Newtype philosophies, while "Char's Counterattack" presents a climactic showdown between rivals Amuro Ray and Char Aznable.

Why is the UC timeline considered essential for Gundam enthusiasts?

As Gundam's genesis, the UC provides deep lore, character development, and thematic richness. It's the bedrock on which many Gundam motifs and philosophies are built, offering a comprehensive view of the franchise's vision of war, peace, and humanity's future.
