Completed in January 2016 alongside my Gundam Mk2. Building it was pretty simple process, but I can’t say I had the best experience whilst trying to pose and take photos of it. The wrist joints are just not really stiff enough to hold up the weight of the anti-ship sword and the beam cannon is extremely fiddly to put into the left hand, which sadly meant that I couldn’t get it into some of the most iconic poses for the Mobile Suit.
