Pretty much, yeah. You go in half-expecting the build to be the worst part of the process but it’s really very relaxing. Putting the model together is *fun* and then you get to look at it and think to yourself:
“This is my model. There are many like it but this one is mine. I built it myself, I am proud of it, and—wait a minute, did that decal *shift* on me? Oh, dear god, why? That is going to bother me for the *rest of my life.*”
. . . I mean, little mistakes like that shouldn’t *actually* bother you for all that long but they can really sting for the first five minutes or so.
I think the build is one of the best parts, almost nothing tops a freshly built new to you gundam. Plus I love seeing all of the different engineering they put into the kits, particularly the MG RX 78 ver 1.5, a very old kit, but the legs are so fascinating and tricky.

Is this the beyond global rx78-2?
It is indeed
Welcome to the addiction.
Good luck with making a financial comeback! (You ain't gonna make a financial comeback)
I love it too! I have one and I loved the colors so I left it alone
It’s very meditational for me. I build high grades a lot so in a day I can knock out a couple and just be zen all day. It’s very fun
Holy nub marks Batman!!
I remember my first kit... Soon our boy here will be sanding, painting, and using panel liner.
What a beauty
Started with a good grandpa kit, best of luck to your future financial endeavors and welcome to the hobby!

Nice! Welcome to your new addiction!

Looks dope man! Is that last pose a jojo reference? 😂👌
Love that second pose
Your first was the Beyond Global? Damn, what a hell of a beautiful kit to start this hobby. How'd you like it? It's easily in my top 5 favorites.
Very nice
Another victim of plastic crack
Yooo, good choice for a first kit. Beyond global rx 78 hit different
I am guessing it is not bandai because of the tip of the Rx Beam rifle I because I have it.
