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.
The Sengoku Astray Gundam stands out for its: Musha-inspired design: Blends samurai aesthetics with Gundam technology for a visually striking appearance. Hidden katanas: Mounted on the shoulder binders, adding a powerful surprise element. Devil shield: Offers both defense and offensive capabilities with its hidden beam cannons. High articulation: Allows for dynamic poses and recreating iconic sword-wielding action.
While the kit features a somewhat intricate design due to the samurai armor and additional weaponry, the snap-fit construction and pre-colored parts make it accessible for motivated beginners. However, the katanas and shield might require careful handling and attention to detail during assembly.
The kit boasts excellent articulation thanks to its well-designed joints. This allows for various dynamic poses, showcasing the Gundam's swordsmanship and agile movements. The katanas are also poseable, adding to the visual impact of action poses.
Yes, several customization options are available: Alternative paint schemes: Create a unique look inspired by historical samurai warriors or your own preferences. Custom decals: Add additional markings and details to personalize the armor and weapons. Kitbashing: Combine parts with other Gunpla models to build a truly customized Sengoku Astray.
Currently, no official variations exist. However, the kit's design offers potential for creative modifications and custom builds, allowing fans to interpret the Sengoku Astray Gundam in their own unique ways.
