My apologies for the lack of post lately, just have been caught up in the average everyday dealings of real life.
Went to the hobby shop today and got some new Gundam loot... The new RG Astray Red Frame and the RG Gundam MKII Titans version. 
The Real Grade Astray is the latest, of this post, in the RG lineup, and so far, the build has represented just how far these kits have come.... it it is truly the pinnacle of how far Bandai has come with the modeling techniques they use.
An interesting gimmick that I have never seen before in all of the RG kits I have built is located in the waste unit. The mount for the upper torso section swings upwards to allow greater mobility.
One thing that I was dissapointed with immediatly upon opening the box was the detail on the extra sets of hands they give you... It is seriously dissapointing. You could expect this amount of detail in the average High Grade release. I justed expected something more.
One excellent detail that I think particularly stands out on the MKII is the fact that they give you actual nylon tubing to use for the thrusters, it is a detail that will really pop once the kit is built.
These two kits will be straight-bullt in the months to come, I feel that real grades don't need paint to be a display quality piece. I will however be dullcoating them as well as weathering them.
More to come soon.
Have a good one.
