Im going to buy a couple of model kits and have seen that i shouldnt go straight to master grade ones as theyll be hard for me i was wondering if anyone has first hand experience on how hard they are?

I collected and built/painted warhammer for years and putting those together involves glue and fiddly parts im wondering if MGs going to be harder than that? (im aware they are all snap fit)
Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead?

I can remember I was given a shenlong model kit for christmas one time when I was a bit younger. I think I gave up on it in the end because my little brain couldn't cope with all the little intricate pieces.

If you built/painted warhammer for years it's gonna be way too easy for you. You could even build PGs. The only difficult you might have is with the number of the parts. MGs are easy to build, instructions are easy to follow and the parts are well organised. I built a MG fine when I was ten by myself without any prior related experience, it's just that a MG for beginners is a waste of money since with more experience you could have built something much better.

Newer Master Grades are really easy to put together and almost never require glue (though some times it's better to glue parts then snapping them together)

Older Master grade can get a little weird some times and Mostly they aren't made very well. ( ball joints tend to suck and hinges are so weak the slightest over pressure will snap them )

If you can follow instructions they shouldn't be a problem, just be mind of full of the EXTREMELY small pieces that are very very easy to lose, or send flying trying to get them out of the frames.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

Oh dear, OP. Apparently buying model kits is more important to you than buying a driver's license... Get your priorities right.

MAL is the dark underbelly of the anime community. While other naive fanboys and fangirls run around in real life forming clubs and squealing in deafening high pitch noises about their favourite animus, we remain here, meticulously dismantling the credibility of each and every show, until all that remains is a steaming pile of tropes and ass pulls which we then devour to gratiyfy our glutinous and masochistic desires.

You should be fine doing master grades since you have experience in making models using these kits
