So after it sat in the drawer for a year, I decided to pull it out.
Once again, typical Bandai quality. Although yes, the plastic is quite different than the other bandai kits that I've done. I'm not going to bother with the interior because I really don't care. Frankly, you can only see in if there's lighting anyway.
The only real criticism I have has to do with the leg positioning. Other than the connections to the body, you can't really do much. I assumed that the (backwards) knee would move because it gave us two types of joint locks (one seems to allow it to pivot) but it remains locked either way. I even tried to pull the whole connection apart but the plastic seems so fragile, I don't want to play with it too much.
At this point, I've got the primer on, and some damage. I also used a bit of gundam marker on the damage as a sort of pre-shade. And it's loosely fitted together. I'll pull the legs off for most of the paint.
I'd like to add some greens and browns in with the black for the preshade. I think I need to look into armor painting techniques.
