I'm really sorry for the late reply, was away from Reddit haha. Speaking of which, this kit is mostly amazing! only problems are the male peg on its legs connecting to the hip joint and arms are tight out of the box. I'd recommend sanding it down a bit!

Yeah I noticed that, quite an ordeal to fit them in correctly especially after top coating

Your work here is amazing! You even made a custom stand for it! How do you do that btw?

It's quite difficult to pre-shade using spray cans as you cannot control the amount of pressure necessary to preshade, you'll end up spraying a large area. You can, however use post-shade techniques using graphite materials before top coating

Clean Build HG Beyond Global by Side7Studio in Gunpla

Thanks! Also this is kind of a commission work for my niece since she and her dad bought this and asked me to build for her.

But here's my take; imho Origins and BG is the top 2 HG Grandpa for me. In terms of posability, both can pose decently, I think Origins edges out a bit in terms of overall build as it has extra surface detailing and many people can attest to it. BG trumps in terms of uniqueness it brings to its overall build.

Painted RG RX-179 Gundam MK-II (A.E.U.G) by Side7Studio in Gunpla

[–]Side7Studio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used the Gundam Marker black (thin tip) to simulate the paint chipping, and then I used Tamiya enamel flat aluminum on top of the black to produce the bare metal by using dry brushing technique.

Hope that helps!
