I spend a good amount of time searching for Gundam Model kits both online and in brick and mortar stores and a common theme is ridiculous pricing. Every time I see an absurdly priced Gunpla I'm reminded of how ignorant I was to value when I first embarked on the hobby. Now that I'm more experienced and more knowledgeable about the resources available to me I regularly avoid insane mark ups, however I know that's not the case for everyone. Whilst perusing Gundam Model Kits Collection, I came across this old but still relevant article. If you've ever wondered about Gunpla prices this is a great read and valuable tool that paired with a currency converter can save you boatloads of money.

Nifty Diorama Tutorial For Beginners
Found this nifty little tutorial on Gundam Info for creating your first diorama. Don't know that I'll be trying this anytime soon with all that I have going on at present, but I'd love to hear from anyone who does.
You can check out the shebang here.

Oh really?!
Not all the tutorials on this blog will come from me, in fact this one comes from Facebook user Child of Mecha who suggested using 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to strip paint from Gundam model kits. It just so happens that I need to strip some parts, so I'll be grabbing myself some 91% and giving this technique a whirl. If this works I can abandon the effective but toxic brake fluid! Check out the video below for a demonstration.
