Recreating the RX-78-02 from the movie using a Master Grade kit!
We used a Master Grade kit to create the RX-78-02 Gundam that appears in the movie Mobile Suit Gundam Cucuruz Doan’s Island!
The MG RX-78-02 Gundam (GUNDAM THE ORIGIN Ver.) features the Early Type that has different details, so its form was altered to match the Middle Type. The painting was made with gradation and light weathering for texture to make it look used. We were able to create a RX-78-02 Gundam that looks closer to the one in the movie.
