From Screen to Model
Gundam began as an anime series titled "Mobile Suit Gundam," which aired its first episode in 1979 in Japan. It distinguished itself from other sci-fi series at the time by offering a more realistic view of mechs, known as "Mobile Suits." This realism and deep storytelling made the series immensely popular and laid the foundation for a thriving franchise.
Model Kits Take Shape
Shortly after the anime's success, the Japanese company Bandai began producing plastic models, also known as Gunpla (a contraction of Gundam Plastic Model). These models allow fans to recreate their favorite mechs in various scales and levels of detail, from beginner to advanced kits.
For beginners seeking guidance, we recommend our article Step-by-Step Guide to Mastering Beginner-Friendly Models, which offers practical tips and advice for getting started with your first Gunpla project.
