1:144 Ex-S Gundam, 1988 edition

This is a old model of Ex-S Gundam by Bandai I bought 22 years ago. Back then, 'System Injection' is the state of the art molding technology :D

However, back then, Bandai didn't care much about the accuracy of the model (to the original design).. and this is what you get:

While it looks ok-ish to a typical viewer, this is actually quite different to the original design by Katoki Hajime in Gundam Sentinel. Over the years, he made several changes to the design of the S-Gundam for HGUC and MG version of the robot. The new design looks quite nice, however I still like the original design much better.

So, here I attempt to recreate the original design with a bit of new flavor I added :P

Scratch build the smart gun supporting arm, you can see it hanging next to the leg.

More coming :)

Posable fingers

This is my attempt in building movable finger/hand without using ball joints.

This is the first version:

The problem is, it can't spread the fingers. So this is the improved 3rd version. One additional joint is added per finger, and the fingers can now spread :D

Decal applied.

Phew.. done. This project took about 2.5 days in total. Most of the time waiting for the paint to dry. I think this Revell kit has a bit of room for improvement - various fitting problem give me minor headache. But I really like the decals that come with this kit - Super Abziehbild decal - It is very easy to work with! I love the decal much more than the kit itself!
