HGUC Nu Gundam- Completed!

This guy is finally completed! Some parts of it gave me lots of trouble while building it last few days, but they are nothing compared to the awesomeness of this guy ^^

Front view.

Rear view.

Lets start with the head first ^^

Head

The head is really good. There's a neck joint connected to it which allows it to look really high but it's really very stiff. I fear breaking the V-Fin when moving it. One of the best head articulation design I've ever seen. ^^

Torso

The torso is really huge and bulky. It has a ball joint that allows it to move a little to the front and the back. Not bad. Hmm.. I did a pretty bad job for the linings there 0.0

Arms

The joints for the arms are really strong and they also comes with many different types of palms too. Too bad, there's only a closed fist and a open palm for the left hand, so don't even think about having the left hand to hold anything. =X

But what's cool about the left arm is that there's a beam saber stored in it. Just slide the piece beneath the arm out and it reveals the beam saber ^^

Legs

The articulation fot the legs are okay, but the feet is quite bad The feets can't bend left and right very much, what's more, the legs don't split much. I guess this is the only flaw for this kit. =(

I did quite a fair bit of detailing to this kit, which are mostly thrusters and the pipes, but well, I think I screwed up abit here.

Some sliver and gold on the shoulders.

Same goes to the thighs and pipes on the leg.

Thrusters are painted silver on the outside and gold on the inside.

The accessories it came with are quite alot. ^^

Beam Rifle

A small beam rifle. Nothing special about it.

New Hyber Bazooka

A huge and bulky bazooka with a nice movable handle. It's too bad that it is so big that it's hard to pose it and what's more, it needs serious painting and detailing. For me, I only painted some parts black.

Beam sabers

There are basically 2 beam sabers on the Nu. One on the left arm and the other at the back.

But what's different is that the on on the back is a customised one from what I know. It gives of a more dynamic beam effect part too. ^^

Shield

Quite a cool looking shield design. There's 4 small missiles underneath the shield too ^^

Fin Funnels

And of course, the famous Fin Funnels of Nu Gundam! Looks really good when everything is put together, but I think it's only a matter of time those locking joints and clips get loose. D=

So yeaps, that's all for HGUC Nu Gundam! But what's coming behind....

....is of course Nu's arch enemy, Sazabi!

Hehe... got Sazabi last year, didn't even do any detailing or painting to it then.

Clash of the rivals! =D

That's all for Nu Gundam's post. Overall, it's a really really great kit. If you're a fan of the UC series, this kit would be great for you. And from the look of it, I can say that it can easily topple over a regular 1/144 HG kit. Exia has no chance at all! ^^

Till the next post!
