I finished up my RG Sazabi here a few weeks ago! Incredible cool beefy inner frame and idk whether there’s a difference between them but compared to RG God Gundam the sticker decals here are all near-perfect no peeling which is fantastic.
The articulation is solid enough to indeed pull off the iconic Char Kick!
Around the same time I also reached a point where I’m satisfied with my AC6 Sazabi AC!
Making decals is crazy and so is adjusting them but yeah, that’s all that’s really left, further decals tinkering.

Spent a good chunk of the last week building the Real Grade Nu Gundam and Sazabi. This was the best pic I took of the two together but this measly phone camera truly does them no justice.
I'm especially surprised with how much this made me love the Sazabi. I've always been lukewarm on the mobile suit but this kit has such presence to it.

Starting the New year off strong with a fun little illustration of the head of Sazabi from Gundam.
I should try to do more shaded work but I just get bored of working on a project if it drags on too long and regardless I often prefer the "pop" that this style gives.

Hm, suddenly have the urge to cosplay as a sazabi. And I don't mean gijinka, I mean a literal fucking lobster robot but miniscule sized (like that gouf cosplay from my queue)

Beyond the Time - a brief history of Psycho-frame technology
With the Psycommu firmly establishing its place as a mainstay in many high-performance machines, researchers began focusing their efforts into increasing the effectiveness and capabilities of the system while also miniaturizing the technology.
Engineers under Casval Rem Deikun's Newborn Neo Zeon movement eventually developed a way to build the Psycho-frame directly into the inner frame of a mobile suit by lining the material with a technology known as Psycho-chips. Psycho-chips could replace the large subsystem traditionally required by a by a Psycommu system.
The project was headed by former Earth Federation researcher Nanai Miguel.
With the project's success, the technology was applied to the MSN-04 Sazabi as well as several other machines intended for use by Newtypes.
Hoping to make his final confrontation with his long-time rival Amuro Ray a fair fight, Neo Zeon's supreme leader Char Aznable leaked the technology to Anaheim Electronics. The Psycho-frame would be applied to the RX-93 ν Gundam.
Chan Agi was also given a sample of the Psycho-frame material by October Saran, which at one point resonated her will, manifesting a small Psycho-field to deflect a mega-particle cannon blast.
A mysterious resonance between Char and Amuro's Psycho-frame systems lead to the formation of a Psycho-field. Through sheer force of will, the Psycho-field was able to force the asteroid Axis off course and away from the Earth, preventing Char's plan from coming to fruition. This event would be dubbed the "Axis Shock".
Officially, following the end of the Second Neo Zeon War, development and application of Psycho-frame technology was officially halted citing "too many unknowns" regarding it. Unofficially, however, research continued under the UC Project.
The project would result in the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, the first full Psycho-frame mobile suit. While previous machines incorporating the Psycho-frame did so near and around the cockpit, the Unicorn interwove the material throughout its entire structure. This allowed a Newtype pilot to potentially directly control the mobile suit through sheer willpower.
The construction of the frame remained consistent with RX-0 units 2 and 3, the Banshee and the Phenex.
Psycho-frame was also known to manifest crystals, dubbed Psycho-shards, when perfect synchronization between pilot and mobile suit is achieved.
Psycho-frame would also be incorporated into some other technologies. Jona Basta wore a Psycho-frame equipped normal suit during his pursuit of Phenex. The exact purpose of the modified normal suit is unclear.
The Psycho-frame would see further development and use over the course of UC history. It would be incorporated into several mobile suits developed by the Federation's Strategic Naval Research Institute, such as the F90N and F91 Gundams.
And finally, nearly a century after its initial development, Psycho-frame technology would be incorporated into the α000-0001 Gaia Gear α. It was the only man-machine known to use such a system.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of machines that use the Psycho-frame, or a compete and fully-documented development history! Think of it as a best-of or a highlight reel of Psycho-frame technology!
This piece was a request from a friend!

RG MSN-04 Sazabi!
Whew. This one took a lot of focus and patience. I began with the legs and foolishly panel lined/matte coated the inner frame that isn’t even visible no matter the viewing angle. I decided to coat more sparsely after that. This thing has around 200 sticker decals and >300 parts! The weapons and accessories took an entire session for themselves with how much work there was to do with them.
Overall, this kit looks amazing. It’s very sturdy and the feet are so huge that it has no trouble standing upright when posed. However, some of it can be a bit finicky; one of the shoulders popped right off when I was posing the shield arm (that took a lot of work to reattach). My talented girlfriend painted the pilot, Char! Ain’t she talented? 💕
When building this kit, be aware that you should be pushing the arms onto the torso WITH the shoulders attached first, and only push straight in. Wiggling it in could cause the brittle plastic connector to break! Also, the back plate on the torso does not snap in well due to the Herculean strength required to push the shoulder connectors into the torso, causing it to catch on the smallest millimeter of plastic (you can find pics of this on Reddit). I recommend just shaving down the back plate ever so slightly so that it fits.
Total hours: 31
