MG Nu Gundam Ver Ka, with the Rage Nucleon backpack, resin parts, and some other bits from my box of extra parts.

Probably my favorite project yet! I LOVE the green, and getting to work with resin parts and 3rd party additions really added to the experience. Now to find somewhere to put it..,,,.,.

Gosh it's been a while since I posted my gunpla projects but I'm finally making headway on them!! Expect more posts from me soon!

The main thing delaying me was the fact that I wanted to look into painting details on my kits, mostly to avoid having to use stickers but also to be able to paint the extra details that may be missing from some kits (looking at you HG Kampfer and Gundam Alex)

This was even further delayed because I was on holiday for a bit but now I'm back home and I have all the supplies I need!! Very proud to be able to show this to you all, I'm really happy with the results.

I got the Entry Grade Nu Gundam to test out detail painting, which ended up being a really nice introduction for it since it has some finer details that could do with colour correction but it also has larger areas to paint. I can definitely recommend using Entry Grade kits as practice for customising your gunpla as they are dirt cheap and super easy to assemble. You technically don't even need any tools for it but I would recommend using nippers and a hobby knife to clean up nubs. Here's how it looks out of the box without any modification:

I was honestly really surprised at how colour accurate this kit is for how cheap and simple it is. I was a little worried I wouldn't have any details to paint in! But thankfully there is some colour missing from the forearm verniers, the backpack and rear skirt thrusters and the head.

I used acrylic paints for most of the details, though I did get a set of metallic colour gundam markers, mainly for the sensor green, which I used for the eyes and head cameras on this kit too. It works really well!

As you can see here the details are quite subtle but they really add a lot, and I'm super happy with how they turned out! I was worried that it would look messy but thankfully I could clean up any mess with isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds. The last thing that I did was panel line the kit to finish it off, as well as applying those cool custom Amuro Ray decals on the shoulder and shield.

I was honestly super impressed with the Entry Grade Nu Gundam. The build is very simple and fun, the articulation is very good, better than most kits I've built in recent times, and the colour accuracy is also nothing to scoff at. There is some extremely innovative technology going into these kits, and they look simple yet elegant. The only drawbacks of this kit are the fact that it doesn't come with a beam saber effect part and that it doesn't have any funnels. Minor gripes for me but if you really want a full Nu Gundam experience then you might want to skip this kit. Other than that though, I highly recommend getting at least one of these, whether it's for practicing customisation or just having something neat to display!
