The theme of this kit is based on an idea I had when I was watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The ace pilot in the film is named Poe Dameron, I wondered what kind of Gundam he would need to take down the First Order. After watching Gundam Thunderbolt, it was very clear to me that the only Gundam with the speed, strength, fortitude and sheer firepower was the FA-78 Full Armor Gundam. Below are my efforts.
Posing with my Metal Build Freedom and my Jesta Banshee custom MG. This made the build Interesting, when I normally would have been finished, I was only half way finished. Here he is with no Armor.
So many parts
So much armor to add!
Arm parts, frame parts, core parts, parts parts parts
I love the flexibility of these arms, the shields are so much fun
I didn’t like the strength of the base Bandai’s instructional manual asks you to use. Luckily they provide a spare in the kit.
My local hobby shop puts my work up after I finish it. They printed me a fresh tag; they typically use these for contests. 11 is my lucky number and I show up super early every contest so that I can claim this entry number.
