After spending the better part of two weeks on that last build I wanted something quick, easy, and relaxing. So this week I'm building the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type from 08th MS Team.

So... When I started on this kit I figured it'd be pretty similar to the Ez8 I built a little while back - they're both from 08th MS Team after all. But I didn't realize the Ez8 was HGUC155 and the RX-79[G] is HGUC210. There was something like four years between those releases and it shows.

There's a weird, murky transparent green runner for the eyes. It's not the normal vibrant green I'm used to seeing. Not that it really matters - those eyes are getting covered with a sticker.

My first instinct was to reach for the paints instead of the stickers... But I wanted something quick and easy this week - so, stickers it is!

And, honestly, the stickers aren't bad in this kit. The only sticker I'd really call "color correcting" is that yellow 'v' in the crotch. Everything else is shiny foils for the eyes or cameras... Or some little triangles here and there.

There's some surprisingly good color separation in the chest. The only sticker on there is the white triangle.

Good assortment of accessories in this kit... The two closed/holding hands, an open left hand, and a trigger-finger right hand. Shield, beam rifle, machine gun, 180mm cannon, beam rifles, and the backpack.

That backpack is a huge upgrade over what we got with the Ez8. The clampy bit that the backpack hooks into is actually articulated.

While we only get the one trigger-finger hand, the machine gun and beam rifle can be held in either hand.

The beam sabers can store in the legs again, just like the Ez8. And the 180mm cannon breaks down for storage in the backpack.

There's also a simple sheet of marking stickers... Just a few numbers to indicate exactly which unit this is.

This kit is fantastically poseable. Great articulation. Nice and strong. If anything it's too strong. It felt like I was fighting some of the joints to get things positioned the way I wanted them.

Unfortunately that trigger-finger hand is pretty fragile. It kept popping apart while I was trying to pose the kit. I think I'm going to have to tighten that hand up a bit. But you only really need to use the trigger-finger hand for the 180mm cannon.

Overall this is a really, really solid kit. Great fun. Superior to that Ez8 in pretty much every way. It makes me want to pick up the Master Grade version. And another couple HGs too... And a couple of the GM Ground Types as well, so I can properly-replicate Karen's "GM Head".

I’m working on more gunpla! This time I’m building and actually painting an RX-79[G] Ground-type! I’m gonna make it look beat up as hell; after all, a mech fighting in the mud and jungle would look terrible after a while.

My test for what I’ll kind of do to the rest on the storage crate it wears on its back.

And here it is again. The ground-type is very interested haha

Grabbed a quick picture of my two 08th MS Team kits up on the shelf. I definitely need to pick up more to build-out the collection.
