EG RX-78-2

Somebody asked about entry grade a few days ago so here it is. I got it for free at The Gundam Base Mobile Tour 2024.

Thanks for the info. It came as part of a loot box so I never even looked at the product line. I just built a Dom.

 

It’s an HG Dom or Rick Dom. I’m not sure how to tell them apart and at this point I’m afraid to ask.

HG Zaku II 21st Century Real Type

It’s basically a normal Zaku II with a few different colors. It comes with water slides, but they are super thin and break really easily.

I think that would be the MEGA size Gundam at around 37 cm

Yes my friend there are. They can be had at most hobby shops for as little as $10US

I only had a panel liner back when I built this kit.

Nah. Autism/ADHD keeps them organized. I usually pull off all the armor then do the frame by section. Take one leg apart and paint it then put it back together. Then do the other leg. That way there’s always one to look at.

I personally assemble the kit so that I can decide on what needs paint then I take everything apart, paint it, and put it back together again. I have heard of people that paint will the parts on the runner then cut them out and assemble, but I don’t like that method because it leads to needing to notch up nub marks and it’s hard to get a good result that way.

GM airbrush is my favorite airbrush. No clean up afterwards.

I would love to display it with no armor, but unfortunately, it’s Gundam Marker EX which doesn’t look the same after topcoat and doesn’t tolerate UV light very well either.

 

The frame is done on my MG Gouf.

This kit looks good with just panel lining and decals. Some kits “need” paint.

Super clean. Looks great.

RG Epyon. It was a fun build. Some of the smaller parts were a little finicky, but once it’s together it stays that way. Posing and transformation are really easy but everything feels pretty sturdy.
