Great detail. Very satisfying build. Build experience/Positives: I had a unique experience with this build, because I did a complete repaint. Because of this, the joints are all a little over-tight (I'm going to avoid painting joint pegs and what-not in the future for this reason). The joints most effected by this are the mounting points for the shoulder armor and the hip pegs. I can definitely tell the difference in quality between this kit and the last "non-grade" gunpla I did, almost just from the joint design. There are a lot fewer rubber joints, which tend to stretch and no longer hold poses well, and instead use very strong plastic-on-rubberized-plastic joints instead. This is a very straightforward set, with not too many gimmicks or weapons, but it looks so fantastic just standing there doing nothing that I don't mind at all. The little extendo-arm for the shield is a little goofy in my opinion, but it does work well. It's big and heavy, which is great, because it makes it feel very stable and solid. This actually helps the ankles, which are loose in certain directions, but not in a way that destabilizes the model at all. Part of the ankle mechanism sits in a little seat where it's free to move around, but still support the model. I would recommend, for others out there thinking of doing full repaints of gunpla, to use a plastic-specific paint to prime the model, because regular primer won't work super well, especially on the legs (experienced model painters out there are probably reading this and saying, "Duh. Everybody knows that, moron"). The leg armor fits so incredibly tightly together that if you don't have super-tough paint on there, it may scrape off a little as you press the armor on. But, I wanted the texture automotive primer would give the surface, so I'm okay with the troubles I went through. I was able to hide most of the problems with the weathering anyway. Scary things: All the joints work well, though it is slightly terrifying loosening up all the tiny finger joints. Be very careful but don't panic if they pop out, because they pop right back in. I also recommend just leaving the little hand-item-lock-levers open in the hands, unless you're specifically posing with the palm of the hand visible (which most of the time it won't be), because it's also terrifying trying to pry that lever back out (I had to pull the hand off of the arm to do it). If you don't know what I'm talking about, it will make sense once you get the model and look at the hands and gun and beam sword. It's how the hands can hold things while having such flexible fingers. (that said, I couldn't really get both hands to hold the rifle the way a human being would hold a rifle. Despite the shoulders being very flexible, the chest is just too big. It just looks silly when you finagle the hands into the right position to hold it with both) If you get a hold of one of the little disk-shaped lighting units for the glowing eye visor, they don't really fit quite right. It will still fit in there and work, but it forces a slat of plastic to stretch awkwardly. Maybe it's because I'm using a green light, and you're supposed to use a red one? I dunno. As with other gunpla, it's a minor hassle getting to the light unit to turn it off and on, but not that huge a deal. Pulling the backpack backward pulls the head and head mounting point out as a single piece, giving you access, and it goes back on without too much trouble. Read more

Ho montato diversi Gundam MG. Questo è semplicemente stupendo, uno dei miei preferiti. Rispetto ad altri MG è abbastanza semplice, quindi lo consiglio come primo master grade da montare, ma in fatto di estetica è favoloso. Al suo interno offre la possibilità di inserire una luce che illumina gli occhi (non compresa, ma costa una fesseria), ha stickers e decals ad acqua (vi consiglio di usare solo queste). In ogni posa in cui lo metti rimane, è solido, cattivo e ben progettato. Ogni volta che lo guardo è una gioia per gli occhi Read more

Éste modelo, a pesar de tener casi 6 años desde que se produjo por primera vez tiene poco que pedirle a Master Grades más modernos como el MG GM (sea Sniper II, Colony type o cualquier variante de GM) o el MG Jegan, por ejemplo, podría usar mejor articulación en los pies, pero por lo demás, incluso siento que los modelos anteriormente mencionados deberían aprender de su antecesor. Por ejemplo: las manos 100% articuladas, la posibilidad de incluir una unidad LED para iluminar el visor, y su separación de piezas. Todo está tan bien diseñado que es uno de los pocos modelos MG que siento que NO necesita un 2.0 Recomiendo a todos los modelistas que no tengan uno que lo consigan, porque francamente merece la pena.
