Diving into the hobby of model building can be both exciting and overwhelming for beginners. With 30 Minute Missions (30MM), you can experience the joy of building and customizing robot models without spending hours or days on a single project. In this blog post, we will go through the basics you need to know to get started with 30MM.
What are 30 Minute Missions?
30 Minute Missions is a model building series from Bandai specifically designed for quick and easy assembly. The series focuses on modular kits that can be easily customized and combined to create your own unique mecha designs. Easy-to-understand instructions and pre-built parts allow even the most inexperienced model builder to create impressive figures in a short amount of time.
Getting started with your first build
1. Choose the right kit
To begin your adventure in the 30MM world, you need to choose the right kit. A great place to start is the Yamato 2202 Mecha Coll CZVarke & Devast Model Kit. It is designed to be simple enough for beginners, yet complex enough to maintain interest.
2. Necessary tools
While it is possible to build some models without tools, a sharp hobby knife and small pliers can be useful for fine-tuning and cleaning up edges.
3. Customize and combine
One of the best aspects of the 30MM series is its modularity. Don't hesitate to mix and match parts from different kits to create your unique mecha. For inspiration, you can read our Complete guide: Plamo for the uninitiated which gives you the basics of plastic models and tips on customization.
