MG MBF-P02KAI Gundam Astray Red Frame – Arm

I’ve bodged a connection between my phone and laptop to tide me over until Saturday, so here’s a Red Frame update, construction of an arm!

Lots of pieces for this one, hopefully it’ll be nice and mobile but without compromising stability so it can wield the tactical arms properly.

Pretty standard mod of separating the three fingers, these need painting white across the tops too which will undoubtably be a bloody nightmare!

Here’s the completed arm minus armour and hand. Love the detail on this and how it builds up over multiple pieces, the elbow feels a little restrictive though and the top part which connects to the body can come lose quite easily. Fingers crossed the shoulder armour provides this some more strength.

And the completed arm with attached armour plates and hand, I’ve said it before but I love the minimalist plating on this unit! The forearm piece near the elbow is attached to it’s own pivot point so it moves independently of the forearm, never exposing the elbow joint. It’s just a little thing but it really showcases the thought they put into these Master Grades!
