~ these are finishing shots of my 1st special version Master Grade Gundam i've had. Managed to completed it before my month-long hotel accommodation expired. Basically, i've got nothing much to do after work, except for doing my house moving chores, leaving plenty of time to spend on my newly acquired Gunplas. This particular unit is the crystal version of the historical RX-78-2 MG, the first version which was released back in 1996. The main draw of this kit the semi-transparent plastic parts, literally all of the pieces, except for its head mast or antennae, thumb & index finger assembly, and the rubbery tiny parts-connector pieces. I don't take much liking to the final outcome of this kit; i thought the colors looked too washed up & overall it looked rather plain, the level of details revealed by the semi-tranlucent casing would be much better if it had the complete skeletal structure that came with the later & much improved RX-78-2 Version 2.0. I found the plastic parts to be a little sub-par by Bandai's standard too; coz this is the 1st ever Gunpla kit i've had snap-fit problems with. *maybe coz it's one of the known problems of early MG issues; especially the crystal version kits* So this shall be my 1st & last special version kit of such. I'd keep it for it's sentimental value though... after all it's a classic!
My photography skills (or rather lack of) does not do this kit much justice. If exploited correctly using proper lighting, this kit will show its true glory...
Next up, my 1st HGUC project in progress...
