Does anyone know if they made an easy to put together model of The O? I would really like that to be the first Gundam Model I try putting together.

As a whole, Gundam models are pretty simple to put together.

Yeah they make the instructions pretty easy to follow, even if you don't read Japanese.

I'll say the only difficult thing is trimming tiny parts, especially on figures with intricate designs like the Master Grade Unicorn. The instructions are a breeze. You just need to be kinda handy with an exacto blade, spend several hours on small kits, and possibly a few days on larger kits. I spread the build of my Psycho Gundam around 7 hours across 3 days.

As for Sentais' question there are both HGUC and MG kits of The O.

I find that Gunpla as a hobby only really gets difficult once you dive into the more advanced techniques. Seam line removal, painting ETC.

Painting is only difficult if you don't have a steady hand.

That's why I use spray cans.

Though I do want to eventually invest in an airbrush set up.

I think there is an old 1/144 that might not be too hard to come by.

BTW anyone know if the 1/144 HG Exia is more poseable than the Robot Damashii figure? Also why no love for the repair mode? Seems like only the MG, SDCC 1/144, and SHCMpro DX have repair mode 1 with the cape.

I have both the regular, Avalanche, and R2 versions of the Exia they're okay, but not as good as the 00 Gundam or the AGE high grades. While my experience with Robot Damashi has been somewhat limited, I can tell you that the line is basically S.H.Figuarts for robots.
