Next review: MG RX-78-2 Gundam Version 3.0!!!

I don’t know where to begin with this kit. I’ve owned it for years and it’s always been a shelf warmer in my backlog. Then I watched ‘Ready Player One’ and all of a sudden I had to build it. And I put as much effort into it as I could. I painted a lot of the details, added all the decals and spent the better end of a week putting it together.

All said and done this kit has surprised me. It holds together extremely well for something with so many layers of pieces clipped together to resemble the life size statue. The core fighter may just be a remold of the ver. 2.0 but it still looks stellar;

I even felt Amuro needed a paint jot to really make this thing come alive.

While it doesn’t come with all the Gundam’s accessories, it does have all its primary ones. The bazooka, beam rifle and beam sabers are all nicely detailed and fit really well in its hands. It takes a bit of work to get the Gundam to hold them in a good pose, but it’s not as difficult as other kits using the same hands.

I give this kit 10/10, I absolutely love it and if you get one you will too!

All decaled up! I must say that this particular hobby is a bit pricey(though with the influx of third party kits). Even with the use of sub-par tools, ordinary office pens and a lot of patience, steady hands and attention to detail, one can achieve satisfaction once it is completed. Some say it's just a toy, we say it's a culmination of ones dedication to the hobby, learning new things as each new kit is built, improving the build on every kit. You see it as a waste of time, true, we can eat away the whole day in our rooms fiddling with it but once it is finished we see it as a trophy, a trophy of our skills as builders, a simple trophy of our hardwork. (The new ep. of Build divers is the culprit of this speech)
