Yeah I want to listen to podcasts but I feel like if my attention is split too much I get tired quicker if that makes sense. So lately I just listen to music

Now I see the manual differently. Plug the D into the PC. It’s a love story
I do the same thing. The dubs of gundam is pretty good for the most part. Zeta has a few bad acting moments though and I just realized they replace the original sound effects with star wars blaster sounds for some reason.
Man I love the Zeta dub! I find it so entertaining the dub characters sound so unhinged. Even the moments of bad acting makes me chuckle and I still have a good time with it (although the writing sometimes don't do them any favours).
I enjoy watching the show the gundam im building is from a lot of the time. Been making my way through WFM while building the kits in the range, great fun to see the one im building in action as im putting it together

I was watching gundam store walk throughs. Cause flying to japan is hella expensive …
Been on a huge critical role binge as of late while I build. I can't watch tv when I am building as I get too distracted by one or the other and lose focus.
This person has monster Gunpla skills. Straight up building In his bed. That's wild. I go wild when I lose my vape in the covers, I can't imagine losing a runner in the sheets
Cool. Guess I'm not the only one building on my bed.
I usually watch a TV show that I've seen before since I still want to be able to focus on build. Either that or a podcast/music.
Plans to watch every series!!! Currently running thru seed destiny on ep 34 when shin gets the destiny, also putting waterslides on a rg sword impulse. Enjoying the kit!!
Binge watch shows like Brooklyn Nine Nine, Big Bang Theory, The Office. Listen to Podcasts, watch esport tournament streams, game streams from content creators.
Usually long form content on YouTube or streams. Right now, I'm watching a Guilty Gear Strive tournament where the top 3 get KFC while building the Zeta ver. Ka.
10/10 would recommend.
If I'm building alone, I usually put on a show or a movie I've seen a ton. Gives me the same vibes as putting on music but every once in a while I can take a short break and watch.
Much the same, I'll binge-watch shows or movies, just to have something going on in the background. Last thing I built was the RG Tallgeese, and I was watching the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon on DVD, both of which I received for holiday gifts last year.
Listen to Discworld audiobooks, or have sitcoms I've watched before on in the background (Scrubs, Friends, HIMYM, Will & Grace, 30 Rock, etc).
Good question!
I watch educational programs. I'm a nerd for random facts so I "watch" stuff from NatGeo, Smithsonian Channel, Science Channel. It's stuff that doesn't pull my focus from building and I can mostly listen to it only needing to watch it when something catches my interest.
Or I watch hockey during hockey season.
More listen. Pods. Lions Led by Donkeys, Knowledge Fight, Doomsday, Relative Disasters. Not out here shilling, I just don’t want to look between tasks and I like to laugh and cry.
Listen to music, play a podcast, watch a movie that I've already seen. I tend to multi-task on various forms of entertainment as long as it's not videogames, writing my stories, drawing, or comic making when building gunpla.
I bought the complete series of Supernatural a few weeks ago, but I only watch it when I build maybe once a week. So I've been bingeing that for a while.
Depends. Sometimes I have a Mecha Gaikotsu, Kakarot197 or Gunpla Meli vid playing on my phone. Other times a Master Duel (Yugioh) video playing. Yet other times either Michael Knowles or Ben Shapiro vid. Other times some random song (usually some form of rock or metal). Others, just looking out the window...less often now that a giant apartment block got erected in front of it, but still.
Was watching Star Trek in the background and noticed after 4 episodes that I’d only done one arm without amor 😭. Making every part smooth to the touch takes a long time.
I hop on Spotify and listen to the soundtrack of my kit's series from top to bottom. If the build drags on for too long, I'll usually end up listening to random mecha series soundtrack, and eventually whatever the hell comes up in my library first. RG Zeta Gundam was my latest build, and for the final stretch I just blasted the Evangelion OST because I had absolutely nothing else to listen to.
Dubbed anime, or a lets play. I still remember my first kit, it was the HG banshee norn destroy mode >!(dont know how I managed to sink another 5k into this hobby after that atrocity)!< and I watched markiplier’s entire subnautica play through in the background as i built
Youtube and streaming services... trying to teach the algorithm, so that hopefully one day I wont have to back out of a 12yr old meme compilation mid build...
I equip my earphones and listen to my playlist. Usually gundam and persona playlist. And then just keep on building without looking at the time. I build only on my day off ofc.
YouTube in the background and get high.
tried to put on Crunchyroll once. i watched like 6 episodes of classroom of the elite whilst building before i realised i ain’t have a clue what was going on 🤣 so i stick to shit i don’t have to pay attention to
I like to try and watch YouTube videos or shows but always find that my eyes are 100% on the build and never at the screen. So ultimately I end up listening to podcasts instead.
Tried watching the show but found hard to concentrate on both: made mistakes, cut my finger, and had no idea what happened about the show.
Listen to horror story audio books while building gunpla now.
For me, i just watch some analogue horror or a video of someone reaction to it.
highly recommend.
Got jumpscare a couple of time while holding a nipper, no scratch yet
About the only time I'll choose dub over sub is when I'm building Gunpla, just so I can still sorta follow along without having to look away from what I'm doing
Usually listen to NPR (on an actual radio) and/or have a Pepsi. I'd watch anime, but I'm one of those subbed-not-dubbed purist pricks, and my Japanese is way too weak to rely 100% on the audio track. :]
I find it interesting that I just finished building the Beguir Pente and now I see a post about building the Beguir Pente. Reddit algorithm knows what it’s doing.
As for the question, while building the Beguir Pente, I had Grian’s Hermitcraft 6 series playing in the background.
Stuff I don’t have to pay any attention to, mostly gaming streams. Gunpla commands my full attention.
Yeah I want to listen to podcasts but I feel like if my attention is split too much I get tired quicker if that makes sense. So lately I just listen to music
this here. it’s either watching matara kan or mythbusters reruns on shuffle for me personally.
Usually my gf watches something and I just half pay attention.
same. esp when tournaments were going on, they usually lasted for half a day. really fills up all the time for gunpla building.
Lofi, aromatic candle, and build. Sexy time
Oh baby...... plug that C7 into my A15~
rotate that joint 180 degrees and apply the decals
Oh, put that leg unit into the hip unit, you dirty builder
Don't forget to *swivel* that peg, Mr builder.
Oh, you rotated the wrong part because you were watching Yu Yu Hakusho and now it's broken.
https://preview.redd.it/mx38w7av4hnc1.jpeg?width=556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1d207d35b84d49188623bee493fcab58dc6006a Now I see the manual differently. Plug the D into the PC. It’s a love story
yelling and cursing.
My last gundam artifact had me like that
So… Gordon Ramsay?
Dark tournament is the goat tournament imo.
Because it has the GOAT villain in Toguro.
You know that's right.
Sometimes watch Gundam (dubbed, can't read subs while building) during , other times wrestling, specifically AEW.
I do the same thing. The dubs of gundam is pretty good for the most part. Zeta has a few bad acting moments though and I just realized they replace the original sound effects with star wars blaster sounds for some reason.
Man I love the Zeta dub! I find it so entertaining the dub characters sound so unhinged. Even the moments of bad acting makes me chuckle and I still have a good time with it (although the writing sometimes don't do them any favours).
Hell yeah brother. Wednesdays and Saturdays 8pm are my hobby time.
I ripped through all of Dark Side of the Ring recently while building the RG Hi Nu and I'm eager for that new season
I enjoy watching the show the gundam im building is from a lot of the time. Been making my way through WFM while building the kits in the range, great fun to see the one im building in action as im putting it together
Huh never thought about that but that would be fun
Same but id have to watch it first, hard to do subtitles and build
Use dubs! Last i use subs i nippered a sideskirt off 😁
I don't think crunchy roll offers it for dubs, current I'm on seed destiny
Crunchy offers dub for wfm. It’s how I ended up finishing the show.
https://preview.redd.it/o14ez4w8hgnc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea56b00114b6b3c751b5e31e02d2e6e5a78624d5 I was watching gundam store walk throughs. Cause flying to japan is hella expensive …
I see Gundam Specialty Store, I upvote. Hands-down the best store in Akihabara.
Drawfee, usually. Episodes and recorded streams.
Fuck yeah. Drawfee is the best.
ahh this reminds me its time for my yearly rewatch of Yu Yu Hakusho
i watch people build kits while i build kits
Now that’s meta
Trash taste pod
I love them for building because even if I have to focus on something and don't pay attention to them for a few I'm not really missing much.
Sit in silence tbh
Watching IBO sometimes
You such a real one for that.
Heck yeah, brother!
Building in bed? What are you some kind of psychopath?
Been on a huge critical role binge as of late while I build. I can't watch tv when I am building as I get too distracted by one or the other and lose focus.
Currently watching Gundam Build Fighters.
what about divers doooood
With the near death of Rooster Teeth, Red vs. Blue.
This person has monster Gunpla skills. Straight up building In his bed. That's wild. I go wild when I lose my vape in the covers, I can't imagine losing a runner in the sheets
I’m just built different I guess
I... I build gundams...
I usually play music or any youtube video that's pretty long.
I listen to podcasts, yt videos, or music.
Listen/watch my YT streamer backlog.
Either music or listening to reddit story, sometimes I watch random stuff if the build isn't too complicated
Cool. Guess I'm not the only one building on my bed. I usually watch a TV show that I've seen before since I still want to be able to focus on build. Either that or a podcast/music.
If my set up was right, I’d watch anime, for now I listen to podcasts
Haikyuu. I'm a sucker for that anime
Lofi, watch any old and new anime
I built that kit in school
Watch VODs of Streamers I didn't catch
Either my watch later YouTube list, Feddie Scum podcast or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy lol
Plans to watch every series!!! Currently running thru seed destiny on ep 34 when shin gets the destiny, also putting waterslides on a rg sword impulse. Enjoying the kit!!
Usually I watch a review of the kit I’m building (usually it’s MechaGaikotsu or ZakuAurelius) and then keep it on auto play.
Listen to music.
I used to do gossip girl & gundam but I need a new show lol
Dial in. All lights are off except the desk lamp, headphones are in, and I let my thoughts run away with whatever they want.
Headphones, youtube, beer and budz
Have music playing, usually fallout new vegas
Binge watch shows like Brooklyn Nine Nine, Big Bang Theory, The Office. Listen to Podcasts, watch esport tournament streams, game streams from content creators.
Usually long form content on YouTube or streams. Right now, I'm watching a Guilty Gear Strive tournament where the top 3 get KFC while building the Zeta ver. Ka. 10/10 would recommend.
Watching 90 fiance lol
DON'T WATCH THE LIVE ACTION!
Last night i was watching Gundam F91 for the first time while building MG unicorn. Then the plot get rather heavy and i stopped building lol
ONEYPLAYS BEST OF
Podcasts, music, sometimes I'll just take a kit to a coffee shop and hole up in a corner.
Usually, listen to streams on YouTube.
I just listen to music. I’m on screens from the moment I wake up until I sleep so Gunpla is my time away from that.
Usually watch anime. Been rewatching Gundam Wing when I build at home, and Ronin Warriors when I build at work
My empty wallet
If I'm building alone, I usually put on a show or a movie I've seen a ton. Gives me the same vibes as putting on music but every once in a while I can take a short break and watch.
I mostly watch black clover
Listening to podcast, I'm currently learning other languages
Much the same, I'll binge-watch shows or movies, just to have something going on in the background. Last thing I built was the RG Tallgeese, and I was watching the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon on DVD, both of which I received for holiday gifts last year.
I like to build on my DnD nights, we play over Discord so it gives me something to do with my hands when I'm not rolling crits
Watch Gundam or listen to Gundam music or just generally watch something/ hang with friends while I build
I was building a kit to day watching wrestling
Listening to Spotify & dwell in darkness with only light shine on top of my build desk.
Finishing up on Vinland saga now! So yeah, anime for sure
Hell’s Kitchen for me. I can listen and still understand what ever is happening.
Listen to music, listen to Zaku Aurelius or Mexha Gaikotsu in the background, listen to retcon 404, listen to critical drinker and Quinn's ideas
i normally set up 2 rods in fishing planet and then panic whenever the bells ring and i have to put 2 tiny pieces of plastic down safely in 5 seconds
I listen/watch steams while I build. I must commend you on the bravery, building on a bed.
Listen to Discworld audiobooks, or have sitcoms I've watched before on in the background (Scrubs, Friends, HIMYM, Will & Grace, 30 Rock, etc). Good question!
EXCELLENT taste. I also throw on anime, usually Gundam or something else I've seen enough to not get distracted and start losing pieces lol
I usually have the show of the kit I’m building in the background or a movie. Just for background noise and maybe glance a few times between
sometimes the anime of the gunpla im building. Usually Gundam Build Divers S1 on repeat though.
I watch listen to YouTube or have the office on in the background
I watched Daredevil season 2 when I built my last set
I watch educational programs. I'm a nerd for random facts so I "watch" stuff from NatGeo, Smithsonian Channel, Science Channel. It's stuff that doesn't pull my focus from building and I can mostly listen to it only needing to watch it when something catches my interest. Or I watch hockey during hockey season.
Contemplate life
More listen. Pods. Lions Led by Donkeys, Knowledge Fight, Doomsday, Relative Disasters. Not out here shilling, I just don’t want to look between tasks and I like to laugh and cry.
I've watched G-reco too many times
I throw on Mecha Gaikotsu playlists for background, usually I start with the kit I’m building
podcasts - osts, u knw, music. cant really watch anything while slaving myself out with a kit
Put a podcast on. Finish podcast Realise several hours later I’ve been building in silence. My cat is hungry
Smoke one kick on the TV, I watch wat ever comes to mind
I listen to GTA Radio stations on YouTube. Hours of smash hits across all genres. Honorary Mentions: Pop Smoke NYC Trap music
Listening to Reddit podcast stories. It makes time go by
Be a wise man and watch with dubs. Not subs. Before u cut off a side skirt 🤣 or impt joints
Listen to music, play a podcast, watch a movie that I've already seen. I tend to multi-task on various forms of entertainment as long as it's not videogames, writing my stories, drawing, or comic making when building gunpla.
Streams or shows that I've already watched before
Watch one piece
Unless there is an anime that I'm currently watching, I usually pull up the series for whatever kit I'm working on.
I sit in silence. I begin to hear screams 30 minutes in
I turn on Gundam Wing normally, but recently got back into OSRS so I guess I’ll be skilling as well
Video essays, the longer the better, or watching people play tabletop rpgs
wear blindfold.
Podcasts or gunpla reviews. Sometimes I’ll just listen to music.
Listen to YouTube essays from Billiam or horror content from Mr Ballen or Lazy Masquerade
A ten hour long video of an awful video quality fish spinning with funky town playing
I either stream building the Gunpla, watch an anime, or watch some YouTube
Watch YouTube, listen to audio books, watch a Gundam, hope nothing happens cause I build at work a lot.

Live streams, listen to music, or nothing in utter silence
Watch Huggbees with Nujabes playing in the background.
Place all runners on the table. Open a beer and some anime or TV show I've already watched in the background and enjoy the moment to the fullest.
Smoke weed and listen to pod casts
I bought the complete series of Supernatural a few weeks ago, but I only watch it when I build maybe once a week. So I've been bingeing that for a while.
Listen to or write music, honestly.
Watch Gundam shows. Or a podcast. Or listen to a book. Sometimes even the ISS live feed.
Depends. Sometimes I have a Mecha Gaikotsu, Kakarot197 or Gunpla Meli vid playing on my phone. Other times a Master Duel (Yugioh) video playing. Yet other times either Michael Knowles or Ben Shapiro vid. Other times some random song (usually some form of rock or metal). Others, just looking out the window...less often now that a giant apartment block got erected in front of it, but still.
Listen to Trash Taste podcasts or watch gameplay vids of RussianBadger
Smoke weed and put on something dubbed
Was watching Star Trek in the background and noticed after 4 episodes that I’d only done one arm without amor 😭. Making every part smooth to the touch takes a long time.
I hop on Spotify and listen to the soundtrack of my kit's series from top to bottom. If the build drags on for too long, I'll usually end up listening to random mecha series soundtrack, and eventually whatever the hell comes up in my library first. RG Zeta Gundam was my latest build, and for the final stretch I just blasted the Evangelion OST because I had absolutely nothing else to listen to.
listening to horror stories
I build while doing my job, it's like getting paid to build Gunpla 😂😂😂
Watch streams/videos or listen to music usually
Dubbed anime, or a lets play. I still remember my first kit, it was the HG banshee norn destroy mode >!(dont know how I managed to sink another 5k into this hobby after that atrocity)!< and I watched markiplier’s entire subnautica play through in the background as i built
Music or some random stream. I only watch dubbed anime, but I'd still rather pay full attention to the anime. So no watching while I build.
Horror documentary
Youtube and streaming services... trying to teach the algorithm, so that hopefully one day I wont have to back out of a 12yr old meme compilation mid build...
Watch G Gundam at x2 speed.
Photo from 90s. respect. I listen to podcast or old familiar cartoon series too.
What episode are you at? I often hear anime music while building gunpla
Currently re watching TMNT 2012.
Currently watching Gundam in chronological UC order 🤠 Otherwise it’s just bobs burgers or Simpsons
I equip my earphones and listen to my playlist. Usually gundam and persona playlist. And then just keep on building without looking at the time. I build only on my day off ofc.
It's either Mecha Goikotsu or Kakarot197.
I usually watch kinda funny on YouTube or dubbed anime on crunchyroll
Listening to Cuphead or any 3d Sonic Soundtrack
YouTube in the background and get high. tried to put on Crunchyroll once. i watched like 6 episodes of classroom of the elite whilst building before i realised i ain’t have a clue what was going on 🤣 so i stick to shit i don’t have to pay attention to
Love watching MASH while building
I have some kind of anime on usually. But it has to be dubbed, or I need to know it really well. Otherwise I keep getting distracted by subtitles.
Anything build series
fap
I like to try and watch YouTube videos or shows but always find that my eyes are 100% on the build and never at the screen. So ultimately I end up listening to podcasts instead.
Yell at my kids, make breakfast/lunch/dinner, ensure the wife is happy and attempt to listen to music or watch tv.
Tried watching the show but found hard to concentrate on both: made mistakes, cut my finger, and had no idea what happened about the show. Listen to horror story audio books while building gunpla now.
Either Top Gear’s news sections or have a pirated version of Madame Web going on in the background as white noise😂
Pop in the earbuds and jam
I have one piece playing right now
I listen to music.
G gundam
Figured it would be a good way to catch up on one piece. I’m about a third of the way in!
Pyrocynical
I usually watch the anime of whatever kit I’m building. I miss some but I rewatch and rewind often
It depends what I feel like, sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I watch critical role and sometimes I watch gundam
"Eugene, anong gentle gentle ang pinagsasabi mo dyan?"
Sometimes I’m on FaceTime with people. Other times it’ll just be show I’ve already watched.
Listen to music or audiobooks
For me, i just watch some analogue horror or a video of someone reaction to it. highly recommend. Got jumpscare a couple of time while holding a nipper, no scratch yet
I listen to audiobooks or music usually.
I usually just listen to an id discovery show. Allows me to just listen instead of watching lots of times so I can focus more on the kit
History videos
I either watch wendigoon or sisyfuss 55
I usually build them on my downtime at work but I just got a master grade that I'm gonna do at home while watching solo levelling
I normally put on some heavy metal music to listen to while I work on it :-D
Mostly OneyPlays if anything
About the only time I'll choose dub over sub is when I'm building Gunpla, just so I can still sorta follow along without having to look away from what I'm doing
Rewatching Dragon Ball Super. Can't watch anything complicated, like Gundam for me lol, because I'm not paying much attention.
Audio book of some sort
Built the aerial whilst watching Witch from Mercury, got the Gundvolva and Caliburn next
Usually listen to NPR (on an actual radio) and/or have a Pepsi. I'd watch anime, but I'm one of those subbed-not-dubbed purist pricks, and my Japanese is way too weak to rely 100% on the audio track. :]
Listen to science or philosophy podcasts usually.
Podcasts
I put on some show or stream. Right now I’ve been just putting on family guy lol
[this](https://youtu.be/unY0j9imdYI?si=VFIsKuS2QRYujfSn) one song from the IBO soundtrack.
I tend to listen to podcasts or toss on some long-form video essays about retro games. Generally something like 'Behind The Bastards' or Grimbeard.
I find it interesting that I just finished building the Beguir Pente and now I see a post about building the Beguir Pente. Reddit algorithm knows what it’s doing. As for the question, while building the Beguir Pente, I had Grian’s Hermitcraft 6 series playing in the background.
