Bandai 1/144 HG Alus Earthree Gundam
I have recently set up an online shop to help sell my digital print of my gunplas’photos. Please take a look here or click on the banner below if you are interested.
I wasn’t keen on this kit until Bandai released the “Fake Nu Unit and Wepaons”pack. This additional add-on set makes the Alus looks like a re-imagined verison of the RX-93 Nu Gundam. I don’t own a HG or RG version of a RX-93, hence I thought this and my customised Captain Zeon will be a great modern and unique tribute to the classic mobile suit.
Bandai recently announced that they will be releasing a new RG Zeong, I never liked that huge design, but I just thought it would be great to use that colour scheme on my Fake Nu Alus! The colour scheme was pretty simple with 3 main colours Purple, Blue, and Red. I tried a heavier preshading and 2 tone shade on some parts to give it a dark vide. The parts separation on this kit is not too bad, which helps with the “creative” painting.
The completed Alus Earthree with the Fake Nu Unit stands almost as tall as the HG Rx-78 Gundam Origin. The Core Gundam is almost up to chest height. I actually bought the Jupitive Gundam to be used with the Fake Nu Unit, but after test fitting, I prefer the curved edges of the Alus, which kind of suited the Fake Nu Unit better.
I actually enjoyed this built. The parts separation allows me to be creative with the colours. The sniper beam rifle allows you to configure it in both open or closed mode which is a nice touch by Bandai. I just don’t have much neagtive thing to say about the kit.
But there is just one minor thing, the purple chest piece in the middle is a sticker, this piece is curve hence hand painting will be difficult and sticker will be quite nasty if not stick on correctly. So it would be easier if Bandai does mould this as a separate piece.
