Been working on this the past coupla days, how long has it been since i last actually built a MG kit from Bandai?
The Nu gundam is the second release in the Master Grade line for the same kit, bit it's been redesigned MUCH more this time round, with Katoki adding his signature 'look' to the kit. But still, it's kinda daunting how many parts actually go into this kit compared to the older MG kits or even any previous model releases.
Whereas previous kits consisted of premoulded features with minimal parts, the newer kits come in components for each section so there's less 'finishing' up of the model to do. That's good in a way, cos i don't have the luxury of time to slowly airbrush and finish up a model nowadays! Plus, all the parts are already moulded in the correct color's so only minor touch-up is needed.
The detail on the kit is pretty darn impressive too, lots of fine panel lines compared to the older kits. Plus water slide decals are provided now (which are of pretty high quality), so bandai has MOSTLY stopped cheaping out with stickers everywhere!
Guess this is gonna be like a weekend project for me, it's tempting to rush through it because the more you build it up, the more complete it gets and theres a temptation to see what the complete part will look like! But i guess i'll take it slow and easy, eventually i'll get to see the final product anyway! ;)
