Great and easy build, only issue I had with it was the shoulder pads when rotating the arms. Cement it should fix the issue.

Read MoreGunpla (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 O's size can be intimidating, but it's surprisingly beginner-friendly! Snap-fit construction makes assembly smooth, and the parts fit snugly. Plus, the instructions are clear and detailed. Take your time, and you'll conquer this behemoth in no time.
Don't let the armor fool you! The O's joints are surprisingly flexible, allowing for dynamic combat poses and expressive gestures. Extend its limbs, raise its signature beam sabers, and witness this silent predator come alive on your shelf.
Absolutely! The pre-shading is a great base, but The-O is your canvas. Add decals or stickers for unique markings, hand-paint for personalized weathering, or swap weapons with other HGUC kits. Make it your own silent guardian!
The O's unique design and size make it a standout in any collection. Its pre-shaded armor, articulation, and customization options offer something different. If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding build, or simply want a centerpiece for your shelf, The-O is definitely worth considering.
Take your time and work in sections. Make sure everything fits before moving on. Consider using an action base for extra stability, especially when posing with the beam sabers raised. Remember, patience and care will reward you with a stunning display!
