So here’s the second HGUC kit, the Geara Doga. One of the main reasons I picked up this kit, is that it’s a design I like, but not available in any other line. In fact, one of the major plus of the HG line, in particular the HG UC line is the fact that they have a ton of designs (Particularly non-Federation mobile suits) that you just don’t have in the MG line.
Anyways, the build of the Geara Doga follows the same idea of the Hi-ν, almost to the point that I think the internal polycaps are the exact same runner. Like the Hi-ν, it comes with some unpainted parts, particuarly the yellow power cables in the shin and knee area, as well as the red insides for all the vernier thrusters. I went ahead and painted both parts, the vernier thrusters using a Gundam Red marker, which I poured into a small tin paint and then brushed in. For the power cabling, I actually used Zeta Yellow for the Zeta Gundam Markers set, and the coloring came out very similar to the power cables in the waist and head. There’s a slight difference but you can’t even tell in the pictures. After panel lining I dropped on a coat of top coat and that’s that.
You already saw the fight between Geara and the Hi-ν but here are the regular pictures. Comments are always appreciated.
