RG Hi-Nu

The RG Hi-Nu is at the top of my favorites along with the Nu that I made a while back. They are simply the best RGs that you can get currently with some of the best gimmicks and attention to detail.

My process for building this was identical in every way to the Nu that you can find here. I won't bother you with repeating the same things there so the reading will be short and sweet here.

(Don't mind the Exia... We don't talk about the Exia.)

I followed the same process I do for each mobile suit which is to follow the written instructions. But immediately I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail and quality of the various pieces including the inner frame. If I took images of it I would provide those but alas, I did not. If I remember for future builds I will try to get more of those photos.

But the amount of little bits and pieces that move and add articulation to the build is simply incredible. From the silver (grey) triangular bits near the feet to the knees being complex is what makes a great build over a good build.

The color blocking choices with the various blues are what really made me enjoy this kit. That and the bulkiness of the suit. I am an enjoyer of bulky/chunky suits unless it is an Evangelion kit and in which case I really enjoy the lanky nature of the Eva's. If I have the time in the future I will go back over the silver (grey) and gold (yellow) pieces with chrome markers in their respective colors to add more depth to the build.

Unfortunately both Nu's use the same 2015 black runner type for the wing joints that I absolutely dislike. They are easy to break, brittle, and generally a nuisance to deal with. Refer to my Nu, but the wing snapped apart due to those awful joints. Fortunately for this build, the wings typically stay folded and sit inside a holder which means fewer problems for any snaps.
