this video is sponsored by whing games
0:02
but it's not warhammers it's a gunam so
0:05
this is a video first for me I have
0:07
never built a gunpla or gunam kit in my
0:11
life I've seen them I've heard nothing
0:13
but good stuff about them on the
0:15
Internet lots of people have told me get
0:17
a gunam kit you'll love it it's gam cool
0:21
get one I was like oh yeah sure never
0:23
got around to it never got round to it
0:25
um and then we got the opportunity to
0:27
build one honestly never opened a box
0:29
don't what to expect um I I am an
0:33
experienced hobbyist I've been around
0:35
the block a few times so I know how to
0:37
build kits so this is going to be an
0:39
interesting Journey for me and for you
0:41
guys because some of you may not have
0:43
buildt a kit either you may not know
0:45
what they look like you may don't even
0:46
know what gun Gundam is um so we're all
0:49
going to go on a little journey together
0:50
and watch pachy build a gundam model and
0:54
I'm excited and also terrified but
0:57
mostly excited can't wait much excited
1:00
it is a big box I was not expecting it
1:02
to be this big um oh my days there is
1:08
literally nearly every color of the
1:11
rainbow in
1:13
spru as I've said built many kits before
1:17
this apparently doesn't require glue how
1:21
I'll find out as we progress but oh my
1:24
days there was just
1:25
like there's a lot I mean like I said
1:28
I'm an experienced Builder and I've
1:30
built many kits but this this terrifies
1:32
me what are they for I mean they're cool
1:34
what are they for I have no idea I mean
1:37
I'm still not even at at the bottom of
1:39
it I mean look look there's a load still
1:41
to go somewhere in here hopefully
1:43
there's instructions
1:45
otherwise good luck watching this
1:48
video watch peachy buil it without
1:51
instructions that's just every time we
1:53
buy K you Mrs Peach to be fair oh yeah
1:55
yeah we got instructions and they're in
1:56
English and Japanese which is good um I
1:59
guess once I've got everything laid out
2:00
I know what all the colors
2:02
mean uh oh there's load of different
2:04
builds as well is they an easy build is
2:06
the easy mode I don't know there's so
2:08
many things I just don't know where to
2:10
start um so yeah anyone that's new to
2:13
this they'll been the same boat as me so
2:15
yeah just watch me stress out and see
2:16
how this goes this is going to be great
2:18
I'm actually really excited but also
2:20
massively anxious at the same time but
2:24
yeah
2:28
good
2:31
instantly the fact each sub assembly
2:33
informs you which sprws are being used
2:35
is an instant game changer for me
2:37
there's a lot of sprws so this will
2:38
instantly improve building efficiency
2:40
when building any kit from an
2:42
instruction guide one of the things I
2:43
always do is get like a marker or a pen
2:44
or a pencil or whatever and then just
2:45
tick off each section when I've done it
2:47
it's good if there's like certain
2:48
subassemblies that you know you're
2:50
building this one or that one um and
2:52
it's good to it helps keep track so if
2:54
you have to stop for the night or for
2:55
lunch you roughly know where you are so
2:57
you can just open your instruction guide
2:59
and you know where to go so as a top tip
3:01
just for efficiency it is worth doing it
3:03
even just a tick off and you know you've
3:05
done it but it's just it feels good it's
3:07
like it's like ticking a tick box on a
3:09
checklist of jobs to do it feels good so
3:12
recommended straight away I felt that
3:15
this kit was designed by folks who have
3:17
completed the game of engineering
3:19
nothing is missed everything is
3:21
considered and the instructions honestly
3:23
are sublimely clear a few people have
3:25
said like oh you know sometimes
3:27
instructions can be quite misleading
3:29
there is literally nothing in these
3:32
instructions only user error and I I
3:35
experienced user error quite a bit cuz I
3:37
be like oh my God this doesn't make
3:38
sense and then I kind of read a bit
3:41
furong and it did um so it's kind of
3:44
like Ika meets Lego for instructions
3:47
that's what it feels like cuz Lego is
3:49
pretty clear Ikea pretty clear Japanese
3:52
have got it clear they know what they're
3:53
doing I would just like to take a quick
3:55
moment of your time to briefly talk
3:57
about the sponsor of this video whing
3:59
games and how you can
4:01
win the same gunam that peach is
4:03
building in this video we all know who

4:58
and the pin comment I wish I could enter
5:00
I bought a Gundam through whing games
5:03
recently this little dude cuz I watched
5:05
pachy build this big dude and I wanted
5:08
to try it out but maybe something
5:10
slightly less intimidating so I went for
5:14
the little one I'm looking forward to
5:16
building it real grade apparently
5:17
transfers for days anyway I'll let you
5:20
get back to peachy enter the competition
5:22
if you Keen these are really fun to
5:24
build definitely recommend it see you
5:26
soon initially I used a mix of AK
5:28
Clippers and godand but as I discovered
5:30
through the build the plastic though
5:31
sturdy does feel a smidgen softer than
5:34
the Plastics I'm used to so I just kept
5:36
to the god hand in the end for the
5:37
duration it just made sense I was
5:39
supposed to keep swapping around I love
5:40
how the book and builds are broken up in
5:42
some places it's to focus on a
5:43
particular area others it's to add the
5:45
next stage of adornments Etc I've seen
5:48
metallic sprws in the past Workshop have
5:50
done some stuff where they've chromed
5:51
them and it was a bit hit and miss some
5:53
of it was just a bit like clogged up it
5:55
didn't look cool and a bit cheap looking
5:59
the CR chring on these is just amazing I
6:02
I was not expecting there there's
6:04
different types of metallic there's like
6:06
metallic esque looking spru which is
6:08
just like it looks a bit metallicy but
6:09
quite dull um which I'm used to from
6:12
like underworld kits and stuff like that
6:14
uh and then there was the chromed ones
6:16
as well um and they're just beautiful
6:19
and in the instructions it's like not
6:22
only does it tell you the letters and
6:23
the numbers of the spr it also gives you
6:25
a suggestion as the colors like white
6:26
gold bright gold or copper or dark metal
6:31
so if you're not sure you can just judge
6:32
it by eye um but I was super impressed
6:35
by the not only the adorns on all the
6:38
kit but just the quality of the chroming
6:42
on the sprew I've never seen anything
6:43
like it I'm mind blown all the way
6:45
through this video there's a lot of
6:47
mind-blowing um I'm I'm not used to it
6:50
I'm not used to such a such an array of
6:53
expertise in a plastic kit it's
6:56
mad the one thing I I still can't get
6:59
get my head round um and like I say
7:01
built lots of kits is the level of
7:03
articulation this thing has no glue
7:06
unless you make a mistake like I did has
7:09
no glue it's all clip fit so you just
7:12
push it together but there's so much
7:14
articulation so many joints there's bits
7:17
like on the waist where it's there's
7:19
like hip movement on the legs there's
7:20
like little Pistons that move like
7:22
everything twizzles and turns don't get
7:24
me started on that hand that that
7:27
posable hand that's like two part two
7:29
types of plastic that's fully
7:31
articulated when you cut it off the
7:33
sprew I have never seen that in my life
7:36
a sprew a plastic sprew that you clip
7:38
out and then is fully articulated and
7:40
that's on the sprew that it's on the
7:42
sprew it's got to work out about the the
7:45
hand joint but fingertips move they're
7:48
on ball joints so if I move this one
7:49
around um move that this one moves
7:54
around oh my God and that's one piece
7:58
that's just one piece
8:00
these do move see look they move
8:04
around that shouldn't be allowed what
8:07
devilry is this who have
8:09
they where do this come from this is mad
8:13
science um so yeah the articulation the
8:15
level of that and what you can get from
8:16
the model is insane and I built a lot of
8:19
kits I like my action figures there's
8:22
probably more articulation in this gunam
8:23
then all the action figures I got at
8:25
home it's insane it's the end of day one
8:27
of filming uh I've got most of the
8:30
bodybuilt what's left is things like
8:32
armor guns things has lots of stuff to
8:35
do um I've gone through all the emotions
8:37
today all of them uh excited baffled
8:41
confused uh
8:43
overwhelmed um angry at one point brass
8:48
etched makes me angry I wasn't too keen
8:50
on that stuff uh but also super
8:52
impressed as well like just how the kit
8:55
goes together I mean there's all these
8:57
sprws and I have to keep like changing
8:58
out organization I think is key um and
9:01
just keep checking over when you start
9:03
the next section look at what brw you
9:05
need and then put them into this thing
9:06
which helps sometimes I use my lap as
9:08
well on my mug uh to lean them up
9:10
against but I'm impressed with the kit
9:12
so far as my first one I've ever done
9:14
it's so different to anything I've ever
9:17
done um and I like it I've thoroughly
9:20
enjoyed the process so far so it's been
9:22
good can't wait for tomorrow see what
9:24
happens so I made a boo boo um I
9:27
accidentally cuz I was getting Carri
9:29
away clipped off two plugs that are
9:31
meant to like secure into some holes so
9:33
I got some plugs he got some holes and
9:35
accidentally clipped them off cuz I
9:36
thought they were feed lines um so what
9:40
I had to do because these are so well
9:42
engineered and so precise is I because
9:45
there was one Circle bigger than the
9:47
other so you knew roughly where to go so
9:49
I I super glued them on not because I
9:50
was expecting a tough fit with a super
9:52
glue it was more just so I could make
9:53
sure I aligned them to the holes and
9:56
then put them in cuz I was an idiot they
9:59
fitted in fine there was no issues um
10:02
and then eventually because it's a gunam
10:04
kit and it's so well engineered that
10:06
there was a load of housing that went
10:07
around it and secured it in place anyway
10:09
so I didn't really need to worry about
10:10
gluing those plugs on but I'm glad I did
10:13
cuz at least it made it fairly precise
10:15
when I when I obviously started
10:17
assembling it so do be mindful
10:20
especially if you're using God hand cuz
10:21
it's like a hot knife through butter
10:23
just make sure it is a feed line and not
10:25
a plug don't do a peach that was such an
10:28
idiot I can't believe too busy talking
10:30
to that guy having a laugh about how
10:32
awesome gunam is and snip oh
10:34
[Laughter]
10:36
no idiot on to day two I've done the
10:41
back or the wings uh my days I mean
10:45
they're so articulated there's so much
10:47
you can do but it it was a lot I won't
10:50
lie it was a lot I did do some mistakes
10:53
uh clipping some bits off I shouldn't
10:54
have done but even with that uh and the
10:56
way that they build and the way they
10:57
push together um it's still really
10:59
sturdy but I just feel that there's so
11:03
much building required and you hardly
11:05
see any of it it's all for the Armature
11:06
I get that but sometimes I'm just like
11:08
oh I spent age building that and now
11:10
I've covered up with more stuff that I
11:11
now I can't see the things that I
11:13
thought were going to be cool but still
11:15
it's pretty cool and look how
11:16
articulated that is I'm going to try and
11:18
be gentle cuz I don't end up breaking
11:20
anything undo all my hard work but yeah
11:23
uh that's that done armor armor next and
11:27
guns
11:29
now the thing I still can't get my head
11:30
around it's not a negative it's just
11:32
like I get it but I spent ages building
11:35
the sort of exoskeleton of of this model
11:39
and then it all gets covered and hidden
11:41
I even put stickers on and they get
11:43
covered and hidden and I'm like I now
11:45
know they're there but no one else does
11:48
um so that that is something that I've
11:50
never experienced in a kit is you spend
11:52
ages building all this intricate
11:53
detailing and then you cover it up
11:55
anyway um and some of me was like why is
11:58
that a thing but then then as a hobbyist
12:00
who likes to add narrative and to go
12:03
into those sort of like cool builds and
12:05
diaramas that having that option where
12:07
you can have like a gunam on the floor
12:09
destroyed and Noone standing over its
12:10
body and like shooting it in the face
12:12
you could have like exposed circuitry
12:14
you could have like some of the armor
12:15
shown underneath um you could have a
12:18
gunam being armored up or armed up or
12:20
whatever so I I actually like having
12:23
that but it at first it did seem like oh
12:26
that's a lot of effort um but it was
12:28
worth it and even now I just look at it
12:31
lovingly knowing all the time and effort
12:33
that's gone into it and all the detail
12:35
that I can't see but I know it's there I
12:36
know it's there he knows it's there you
12:39
probably don't know it's there but when
12:40
you build your own you'll know it's
12:42
there so good as the story developed of
12:45
building this and knowing that I'm
12:46
building things that I'll never ever see
12:49
because I got used to the fact that I
12:51
was constantly being corrected by the
12:53
instruction
12:54
guides it is there is a greater power in
12:58
play so TR as as we've Pat rightly said
13:02
trust the system there is Bandai and the
13:05
engineers have got you covered so when
13:08
things seem weird and don't make sense
13:11
trust the system it'll all play out fine
13:13
at the end trust me I made this mistake
13:16
at least four times and each time it was
13:19
like just just Peach just just trust the
13:21
system I should have trusted it the
13:22
first time but you know been burnt by
13:25
plastic
13:26
kits no not actually burnt you know what
13:28
I
13:30
[Music]
13:51
mean as you can now see I am joined by
13:55
the Gundam the Gundam and it's the thing
13:58
of beauty po posed by Pat and
14:00
beautifully posed may I say Patrick very
14:02
well
14:04
done a great job I think it looks great
14:07
he's flying and everything you not put
14:08
weapons in but you know we can we can we
14:10
can go past that we can have a
14:12
conversation about weapons so the the
14:15
I'm I'm I'm I'm going to do it now on
14:16
screen this this thing like just
14:18
connects together you can go double-
14:20
eded like light saber cutless weapon
14:25
light Lance I don't know what you want
14:26
to call it but it's there's just so much
14:28
stuff I I built the extra hands
14:30
initially I wasn't going to build the
14:31
extra hands as well so I built those and
14:33
it does you know you can swap them out
14:34
for different poses but it's done I keep
14:37
looking it with such love I enjoyed the
14:40
journey I enjoyed the process um I'm
14:42
proud of it as well and Pat added some
14:44
stickers on he feels like he's
14:46
contributed quite heavily to this build
14:48
as well it's true though I mean we're
14:50
both like I just enjoyed it and I've
14:52
never had this feeling with a kit before
14:55
and one of the things occurred to me is
14:58
I have have like we've you know we've
15:00
all built kits over the years my
15:02
granddad would build like the Bismark or
15:04
the Cy sck and he'd spend months
15:05
building this up and build the hull
15:08
build the gun deck then build the riging
15:09
and this that and the other and it was a
15:11
labor of love and I think that's what
15:13
these really are it's not something you
15:15
just want to knock out in quick
15:16
succession I mean you can do I mean that
15:18
choice is there but it's something you
15:20
want to take your time on and it's the
15:22
process that you're doing it for as well
15:24
like you know people don't big build
15:26
jigsaw puzzles just to like yeah buil a
15:29
jiga will break it all up they do it
15:30
because it's a process it's enjoyable
15:32
and this this felt like that um I've
15:35
never been so emotionally attached to a
15:37
model in my life that I've built will I
15:39
did I enjoy this yes did I enjoy
15:41
building this model absolutely I have
15:45
I'm I'm a convert to to gundam I think
15:48
um will I build another yeah I think I
15:50
will not straight away I'm a bit tired
15:52
mentally and exhausted from building
15:54
this one um but I think I will build
15:57
another I'd buy myself one of as well um
16:00
down the line and I like to get my lad
16:01
doing it as well because it was an
16:03
enjoyable process and just doing things
16:05
together um and it's fully posable and
16:08
playable maybe not with like a
16:10
six-year-old but probably someone that's
16:11
a bit older so I obviously talked about
16:14
like you build lots of stuff and you
16:17
then hide it with armor but as me and
16:20
Pat have been playing with this and
16:21
we've been playing with it a lot um a
16:23
lot of those unders suit bits and those
16:25
details are actually visible as you
16:27
start to articulate start to move things
16:29
around so when you like move like the
16:30
legs up the skirt moves to the side and
16:32
it spreads open you can see some of that
16:35
beautiful chromed gold underneath it and
16:37
stuff like that so it is again the
16:40
engineering is suppe um I think the
16:42
