MG Shin Musha Gundam Part 13

The divine frame?
I've completed all the components for MG Shin Musha Gundam's inner frame in the previous posting actually. Now's just to put all of them together to complete the whole thing. ^^


All the components.








Minus the extra ankle joint parts and the Ver. Ka-style feet, this is also a preview to how the inner frame of MG G-3 Gundam Ver. OYW would look like (when I finish it in the unknown future ^^;).

More images of the various parts:














A look at the articulation of the entire frame:



Bending the waist.
The limitation of the waist is pretty obvious to detect in this pose already, but at least it's a definite winner against MG Gundam Mk. II Ver. 2.0's design XD



Very tight ball-type joint for the hip joints is restricting the flexibility of the legs to expand to the sides, but I don't supposed this would be of great importance when the body is packed with heavy armors later on.



There's little chances for the completed Shin Musha Gundam to do this once the shoulder and forearm are loaded with armors later. ^^;




The kneeling pose is another great opportunity for the frame to show off its gold and silver hydraulic pipe sets. ^^


Comparison with MG Gundam RX-78-2 Ver. OYW.


The increment in height is very apparent even when comparing the two models up till the waist level only.


Since the hand unit of Shin Musha Gundam is made up of parts that come from the same runner used by its MG predecessor, it has a tab on the palm to fit the weapon handles of that Gundam as well.








Would be hilarious if it's the completed Shin Musha Gundam that is using all these weapons. XD Some action poses involving the inner frame must come out to test how well the design is, so there you go. ^^
Assembling the weapons of this MG in the next posting. ^^
