Hi Gunpla Fans, today I’m gonna review the Mechanical Nest by Gao Gao.
Honestly speaking, to me it is a great kit to buy if you are not so good in making a diorama base or you are a total beginner.
Let’s begin with the Review
Outlook: 8/10
It is definitely a good looking diorama base to me, but no matter what it definitely look better if you paint the kit up a little to give it a realistic vibe.
Though I love this kit a lot, I don’t really like the instruction on this kit. Well, I may be picky or fussy but reading instruction i prefer the instruction in a booklet or liftlet but they gave us this instead..
Despite the instruction give out a easy to read instruction, I’m not a fan of reading instruction on the box.
Accessories:
We are given a weapon carrier? and some hooks to put weapon on the rack.
After trying out this few accessories it actually feets quite well with those long weapons such as bazooka or tri-star zaku ortega big axe. It can fit rifles and shield as well.
Fun Fact:
You can actually use those hook and put it in the attachment on the floor, something like this.

Verdict:
Pros
- It looks good as it is out of the box
- Easy to understand instruction manual
- Cheap and affordable
- Great Details on the floor and walls
- Great for taking photos
Cons
- Plastic material is a little soft hence the parts are quite fragile
- Though it is an easy to understand instruction manual it is lazy of them to put it on the box instead of a booklet or liftlet
- Paint needed for realistic looks
