RG Destiny Impulse Gundam
RG Destiny Impulse Gundam
This was a long, but overall enjoyable build. The waist comes apart easily if you try to pick up the model by the torso, but holds positioning better than most. Maybe I'll feel like putting the water slides on one of these days.
Also, I finally got another mono eye in the backlog so I can stop faffing about with these gundam types.
That one is next in my queue, your post just got me even more excited for it! I love the pose and photo angle as well, nicely done.
On the white head V piece, I highly recommend you clip the two smaller gates that hold the skinnier pieces first. I clipped the large center gate first and one side of the V snapped off right at the smaller gate.
Thanks! I already built the sword impulse and snapped that v-fin so I’m ready to whittle away at this one as slowly as possible haha
Nice work on this kit! Seed wasn't really for me, but I really like some of the Destiny suits, like this one.
Oh, I don't really watch the shows. I did just recently finally watch OG Gundam which was good, then tried to watch a bit of Wing and had to quit because I kept cutting myself on all of its edginess.
I really just like the big robots more than the show itself.
But sometimes the models make me wonder about the background behind certain decisions that were made. Like, who thought it was a good idea to make a giant katana for Red Frame Astray? How did that forging process even look like? Why does Destiny Impulse have not just pocket knives, but actual pockets to keep them in? How much lead time does Char need to get a custom paint job for a Mobile Suit?
