Ok, legs and feet. This is just a quick-snap build to get an idea for the kit and some pics.

 Will got back over the kit in full later on and add licks of paint, decals, etc.

Leg naked internal structure(parts are there to beef it up

With Armor added(missing some pieces) and yes some of those pieces slide when positioning the legs.

 

 Next onto waist and chest. Here I will use the "Dummy Core-block/Fighter" as the fighter from above will be on base. You can merge the fighter with the robot if you so desire like on the MG 2.0 kit..

 Imagine what other kit-makers could do with this technology on Miltiary, Plane, etc kits.

NOTICE: 

 

Today I gave in and bought the new RG Gundam kit(had store-points to spare so was cheap).

 

This is the 1st kit of the new range of Real Grade kits and the engineering and detail level is INSANE.

It is supposed to display the 1/1 Gundam that was put on display in Odaiba, Tokyo. I will model mine as such on a base with N-gauge people.

For the Gundam fans you know PG and MG kits and their level, be prepared to be shocked by RG.

Will upload pics in a bit, did the core-fighter and it consists of 20 parts and is transformable and has an opening canopy.

 

The kit features an internal skeleton that is done using Bandai's micro-injection technology(ie moveable and pre-assembled/sections). We first saw the technology on the fingers of PG kits, the fingers on the 1/144 are like MG hands in articulation and cast as one part.

 

In short this kit looks like 1/144(mini) Master Grade kit both in articulation and detail.

Usually not fond of Gundam kits but this kit is at an all new level. Supplied decals are also supposedly different(haven't used them yet) eye decals feature lit and unlit eyes.

 Being in 1/144 it means that the parts are small and many of them.

 

Personally, I like it as I get a small kit(for storage) but with the detail level of the bigger scale.

 

Pics to come soon. (need to edit and upload)
