RG 1/144 S.N.R.I Prototype Mobile Suit XM-X1 "Crossbone Gundam"

RG Crossbone!!!! This is the 2015 remake of the kit under Gunpla Evolution Project, and it's one of the most detailed gunpla in terms of features that I've build so far!

The Crossbone was a bit of a tricky build, due to its much smaller size and large amount of small moving parts. This can make assembly pretty fiddly. Furthermore, being a newer RG it lacks the pre-built inner frame, apart from a specialized piece for the X-shaped booster unit/core fighter, which made it take a lot longer than I was expecting.

The set builds the X1 Crossbone Gundam, as well as the accompanying and iconic Jupiter core fighter.

This little fighter slots in neatly to the Crossbone's chest cavity by folding down the nose and folding up the vulcan cannons. A neat feature is that despite the absolute miniscule size of the fighter, the cockpit opens and you can even see a little headrest and console! You can even see the core fighter cockpit when you open up the cockpit access hatch from the front.

The kit also comes with a large number of optional parts, including 8 pre-moulded hands and a number of weapons.

There's a plastic moulded anti-beam coat, as well as a really neat beam rifle (the Zanbuster) that can split apart into the Buster Gun (modeled after a flintlock pistol) and the high powered beam saber, the Beam Zanber. This comes with a really nicely molded effect part that is UV reactive.

There are also parts on the arms that swing forwards to either produce a beam weapon called the Brand Marker, or alternatively a Beam Shield (both also moulded in the same UV reactive trans-pink plastic).

One of the most fiddly sections of this build was the front-skirt, as this piece can transform into a scissor-anchor (similar to the shoulder mounted ones from SEED). A neat detail is the plastic moulded chain that attaches to the anchor, however, the use of this instead of the more common malleable wire makes it difficult to pose the part in anything other than a rather stiff position.

The kit even includes the hidden leg-daggers, although unfortunately only the handle fits into the calves, with the blade being a separate piece.

Overall this is one of the most impressively detailed RGs I've even built, especially in terms of the included gimmicks and optional parts.

The kit itself is pretty impressively posable, with extra forearm rotation, although the kit does have trouble raising its shoulders too far, and like a lot of RGs it can feel a little unbalanced.

Despite these issues I definitely recommend this kit, although probably for more experienced builders due to the more complex techniques.

MG CROSSBONE GUNDAM X-1 VER. KA

ORIGIN: MOBILE SUIT CROSSBONE GUNDAM (MANGA)

PILOTS: KINCAIDE NAU, TOBIA ARRONAX

ACQUIRED FROM: ANIME MILWAUKEE 2017

DATE KIT WAS ACQUIRED: FEBRUARY 2017

DATE KIT FINISHED ASSEMBLY: NOVEMBER 2017

Worked on this as part of a Twitter event called “Gundamber”, which promotes the building of Gunpla for the month of November.

Was very excited to work on this guy. It took me a long time before I finally got my hands on a Crossbone Gundam kit, and so Gundamber provided me with the opportunity and motivation to assemble this a little bit at a time. This guy comes with a litany of weapons, including the Beam Zanber (a beam cutlass basically), Scissor Anchors, Beam Brand Markers, and my favorite, the Zanbuster (The beam zanber combined with the buster rifle which makes the primary beam rifle). There is a bit of painting required for this guy, as it's a bit older of a kit. The only real pain in the rear is getting the cloak on the guy. But besides that, it's a pretty simple and detailed kit even without the paint.

This was a fun and satisfying kit to work on, but after three MG's and an RG kit this year, I think it's time for a break....or at least time to go back to HG kits.

Oh by the way, tomorrow will mark the return of..
