Gunpla Builders UK 9 years, 4 months ago Safe to say i have got the gunpla bug back again, the only trouble with ordering kits in the uk is you loose track of what you have ordered as they can take a long time to get here. Now they are starting to arrive and im spoilt for choice. I also tend to buy bargains as and when they show up from uk sellers on ebay ( funds permitting) as you never know the next time you will see them. There are still more to come but my to do pile is mounting 🙂 what would you suggest i build next after my mg gundam spiegel is finnished ?

Nice backlog, I’m the same, if I see something i want cheap on mandarake or ebay, I just buy it 🙂

Not heard of mandarake before , whats that ?
mandarake is a chain of stores in japan that sells, amongst other things, gunpla. You can get some amazing deals if you check regularly enough (I got a 6000 yen PG rx78-2) the down side is that the things they put on the website are also available in store, so if you order something, someone could just walk into the store and buy it before your order is processed. oh and theres a 500 yen charge if your order is below 5000 yen per store. But they will mark a package as 500 yen value for customs if you ask nicely 🙂 Its a great place to get webshop exclusive kits too.

I’ve skimmed through mandrake before but never bought anything from there. Right enough some of the deals on there are pretty top notch by the look of it!
you should give it a go. I’ve gotten a titanium banshee for 4500 yen and the PG red frame with bonus parts was only 13k
oh and go for the infinite justice next, fun build 🙂

Nice collection you have there 🙂 i started the zaku next as its another old kit and i havent built a zaku yet. Lost my temper with the silly bead / spring bits a few times as they keep coming out , especially on the head. He is all together now and i am amazed by the lack of articulation despite the fact its an old ver 1.0 , he can hardly move at all. I am impressed by the huge amount of weapons he has though which might just be specific to this dukedom custom suit . I gues the zaku is like a sledgehammer compared to the Gundams scalpel (in most cases anyway)
@richigobankai, i have a couple of questions about your MG Infinite Justice, first of all did you use waterslide decals? and on the chest section did you lose the small clear camera lens parts in the chest section? because that happened to me, ive just started building mine and one of them popped off the runner when i was cutting it out and its lost:(
yup, lost one of those clear bits just like you :/
I wish I’d waited and bought waterslides from samueldecal, but I was impatient and used stickers and dry rub transfers instead 🙁
