Nerd Builds: HG Gundam X Maoh

Hi nerds! This is the first day of Spring Semester post of Nerd Builds. Today's build is another Gundam from Gundam Build Fighters series, but this time it's rival builder Yasaka Maoh's Gundam X Maoh. This is a high grade, 1:144 scale model and it was much more fun and cool looking than I expected. As a matter of fact, it is one of the funnest and coolest looking hg models I have built yet. He is a stunner! Hope you enjoy!

Jesus Loves Noobs: Gundam Scale and Grade for Beginners

So I'd like to start a new corner on the blog for beginners getting into new hobbies called "Jesus Loves Noobs! Beginners tend to get a lot of flack especially from more established veterans and naysayers (ask Jesus), so hopefully this is a safe place for you to get your questions answered on different nerd (or spiritual) topics. But bear with me since in some areas…I am also a NOOB.

So today I'd like to talk about the different scales and grades that Gunpla has to offer. I hope that more people will find a new hobby in Gunpla through this post.

So let's talk about scale first. Scale simply means the number of models it would take to fit into one life size model. So most HG (high grade) and RG (real grade) models are 1:144 scale. This means your model is 1/144th the size of a life size Gundam. 1:144 is the smallest scale that Gundam models come in (about 13cm tall).
