PLAMO DIARIES

Here I am with another SD SD - Gundam post after a Star Wars kit. (But I swear, I build other things too.)  As I mentioned in a previous post , I like practicing on SD kits primarily because of the cheap price, but also because the large exaggerated surface areas are easy to work with. It helps that they're cute, too. For this entry, I decided to do a combined post for both my SD EX-Standard and SD Cross Silhouette RX-78-2 builds since I don't think either is interesting enough on its own.

Like i mentioned in  a previous post , this pandemic gave me the chance to work on a few kits in my backlog, one of which was this  SD BB (No. 209) G Generation-F RX-93 Nu Gundam . I wanted to warm up with what I thought would be a simple kit before tackling the  Millennium Falcon . I was right about the simple part, but this kit was much more involved than I thought.
