Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the GP03S different from other Gundams?

The GP03S "Stamen" stands out with its unique design and weaponry. It boasts: Heavy armor: Thick, angular plates provide both imposing visuals and enhanced defense in the lore. Core Fighter integration: The iconic Core Fighter seamlessly integrates into the chest, creating a distinctive silhouette. Beam Rifle/Sword Combo: Its signature weapon combines a beam rifle with a sword for both ranged and melee combat.

How's the articulation and posability?

The HGUC GP03S offers good articulation despite its bulky armor. Polycap joints at key points allow for dynamic poses like kneeling, aiming, and wielding its beam rifle/sword combo. However, the shoulder joint movement might be slightly restricted due to the armor design.

Is it a difficult build?

The GP03S falls under the HGUC line, known for its moderate difficulty level. It's a good choice for experienced modelers or those comfortable with basic hobby tools and techniques. The snap-fit assembly makes it convenient, while the pre-colored plastic and included stickers provide detail options.

Does it capture the source material well?

The HGUC GP03S accurately represents its appearance from the "Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory" anime. The proportions, armor details, and even the intricate Core Fighter integration are faithfully translated into the kit.

Are there any extra features or accessories?

The kit includes several additional features: Beam Saber: A classic close-combat weapon for diverse combat scenarios. Hand options: Closed fists and flat hands for different poses. Display stand: Provides a stable platform to showcase your completed GP03S.
