So I'm a total Gunpla newbie, and was thinking of trying my hand at one of the HG Enacts. Are they decent starter kits, or is this a terrible idea? Any other tips? I have a pair of clippers and have assembled 40K miniatures before, but I'm no expert.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'd recommend against the Enact. It's a fairly simple kit, but it has no polycaps. The limbs have a tendency to flop, which is not something you want in a transforming design. I was thinking about the Jegan, then. When and where do the polycaps start showing up in the product line?

BlitzBlast posted:Polycaps have been around since the very beginning, they just sometimes do kits without them for some infathomable reason. I see. I am a fan of the 00 mook-suits and Ali al-Saachez's machines - is it just the Enact that isn't capped?

Neddy Seagoon posted:The Enact and Flags don't have polycaps. The Tierens are great kits, though the legs have a tendency to pop off if you don't position them right due to a weird hip design. They go back on just fine, just gotta take care in how you pose it. I'm guessing it's because the Flags and Enacts are so skinny. Would that mean the GN-X is A-OK?

Sweet. Guess I'll order a GN-X, then try my hand at the Throne Zwei. As an end-goal, I'd like to do a MG Qubeley (best suit, best pilot  ), but I want to practice a bit first.

How are the Victory and Victory-2 as kits? I've always loved that show's mecha designs.

For my future HG plans after the GN-X and Throne Zwei, how are the Arche Gundam and Kampfer Amazing as kits?

BizarroAzrael posted:Arche Gundam is a bit plain looking, it's soooo red, and it's not broken up by much. Panel lining it improves it a great deal. Well, I was planning to get into panel-lining from day one (all I need is cotton swabs and a mechanical pencil? Easy), so that's not a big deal. No glaring flaws with the actual kits, then?
