Finally started watching my first Gundam series yesterday! Can I start building Gunpla now??

How much do I need to watch before I can start draining my wallet on fun plastic? πŸ’ΈπŸ’ΈπŸ’Έ

Great that you're getting into gundam! As to when you can start with gunpla: whenever you want! I built my first kit before I even watched a single episode of anything

Alright, you convinced me. I'm in πŸƒ

What was your first model? I'm considering a high-grade Gun Tank model!

My first kit was the High Grade Gundam Age-1 Normal. Nothing special really, but fun to build. As for what I'd recommend: either a suit you like from the anime, or just one you like the design off.
and a Tip: the newer the kit, the better it (usually) is.

Mine was the HGCE Dagger L. I still haven't seen the series it came from, but it's a really nice kit. Looks nice with no need for paint or stickers (although I did end up putting a bit of paint on it eventually.)
