From the 08th MS Team, SGM Karen Joshua's "GM Head" and Sgt Terry Sanders' standard RX-79(G), along with a GM from the 07th Team and a GM Sniper. Aside from the GM head, Karen's suit has partial dust covers (made from nitrile gloves) but was otherwise built stock. Sanders' suit, meanwhile, has full covers, as does the 07th Team GM. The Sniper is the old kit from 1999 and has much less articulation, but it looks the part at least. All four kits have G-Rework's decal sets, panel lining, dirt washes, and weathering powders.

1/35 gundam

I finished assembling the big gundam. It's very big indeed. It has to kneel to fit next to the 1/35 onmimechs.

The lighting system is OK, the batteries work but the head pcb battery terminals are a bit weak. The thrusters and beam sabers use magnets in the saber handles to switch on. Some light barriers inside the light plastics will improve the look.

The kit mixes several versions of the rx78-2. Version ka shoulders (that seem a bit oversize) torso weapons from Gundam: The Origin and a particular head sculpt. It seems to be an upscale high grade kit.

Its quite posable with ratcheting joints. The hips are stiff to assemble and the joints can be tight to begin with. The knees get a full 180 bend with separate knee caps, the toe area on the feet can hinge and twist and the heel can hinge too.

It took be about 4 evenings to assemble. There is some internal structure but it's not like a master grade or above - the armour is structural in most places. The fingers are individually jointed and have some good mobility, no spare fixed pose hands are included but they're not necessary.

It comes with a beam rifle and bazooka, and a core fighter. It looks like a v2.0 master grade blown up. This is the only mild down side as the proportions are poor and it obviously can't fit a 1/35 pilot. It's very nice to have though, it can form a coreblock, has simple missile pods and a tilting seat. The landing gear is a sled that plugs into its ventral fuselage (moulded in clear for some reason) and will look fine when painted.

I paid £107 from gunpla san in the uk for my kit. They are often on back order. Aliexpress carries them but watch out for ordering a 1/100 by mistake.

Its pretty cheap for that amount of plastic. You could use one to make a wh40k titan.

You could get the uc hard graph core fighter and mod it to fit to get a realistic cockpit, and get a 1/35 resin head to make it super detailed.

You could modify it as a filming miniature, or add more LEDs and use it as a bedside lamp 😄 lots of options with such a big kit.

I have ideas to make it into an rx-79g!

and next to other Gunpla, as usual:

-HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam (Revive ver.)

-HGUC RGM-79GS GM Command Space

-HGTWFM Demi Trainer

-HGCE Jet Windam

HGUC MS-06FZ Zaku II FZ (or Zaku II Kai)

this is a fun take on the Zaku II design; I like the red section on the chest breaking up the shape

the grenade launcher thing on the gun is very loose and falls off easily; it's intended to be removable but barely holds on

only 3 hands...

Built my second gunpla! This one is a HG RX-79 (G) Gundam ground type from the 08th MS team. I haven't done anything special to it, and it did come with squad number stickers which I haven't applied yet either, but I'll be doing a bit of extra work on this one in the future.

This is the MG RX-79(G) from The 08th MS Team, marked as Shiro Amada's Gundam. The dust covers over the joints are made from black nitrile gloves. I've added G-Rework's decal set as well as a shotgun from Kotobukiya's MSG line. The feet and legs have a mix of sand and mud weathering powders, and the verniers have burned orange and blue metal powder.

Finished my gunpla build from last Wednesday, so I now have 4/5ths of The 08th MS Team!
