Here's the High-Grade 1/144 scale RX-78-02 Gundam from The Origin series! This may just be the best RX-78 Gundam in 1/144 scale yet! The weapons and option parts are fantastic, great detail, color separation, articulation, everything!

The build is very much a high grade build, but the detail is fantastic, really looks like a scaled down Master Grade. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like Bandai wants to make this style the standard.

@notatallheng 3 жыл бұрын

A few minor building tips... (1) Head vulcans are a bit fragile and tend to jam the head side armour when you are installing it. Do not try to force the head side armour in. You need to angle it a bit to get it in. (2) There is an extra wrist vulcan pod if you want more dakka. (3) Sadly, there is no extra chest vulcan pod. (4) The front skirts will get super floppy if you clip them; be aware and have a plan for reinforcing/thickening the ball joints just a smidgen. Or drill them out and insert a pin.

If I had to guess, I'd say if Bandai were going to put out anymore HG Origin kits, they'd put out the version of the Guncannon used on White Base. It'd basically be a color swap of the First Type with different hand options and its beam rifle and maybe a different head/backpack. They could also put out a standard GM and a few more variations outside of the Guard Custom

The foil sticker for the eyes was hard to stick for me. Don’t know why. Also the red center part for the middle attachment to the helmet keeps falling out for me. The handles to the beam sabers don’t stay nested into the back. Other than that and a few parts not closing tighter than I like it was fun to build. I’m a noob so maybe it being my first build it was issues with me instead but I’d like to think I was competent enough to put it together.

if they ever make a new RG grampa, i hope they make it out of this origin version. it would work out considering how different this is from the classic 40 year-old design, and an excuse to update the accessories. simmilar to the recent TV version of the wing, it would be great if they updated the RG using a different design. itll also give them an excuse to also update the zaku, and boy would the origin zaku in RG form be wildly cool.
