Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a regular retail kit or a Premium Bandai (P-Bandai) exclusive?

The HG 1/144 Gundam Sandrock Custom is a Premium Bandai exclusive. This means it was produced in limited quantities and was only available for a specific pre-order period through Bandai's online hobby shop. It is not sold in typical retail stores, which can make it more difficult to find and sometimes leads to higher prices from third-party sellers.

What are the key accessories and features of this kit?

The kit is famous for its powerful close-quarters weapons. It comes with the iconic twin Heat Shotels, which can be wielded individually or connected at the hilt to form the massive "Cross Crusher" weapon. The kit also includes a large, detailed shield with a skull-like motif and the ability to mount the Heat Shotels to its backpack for storage.

How does this kit's design compare to the original HGAC Gundam Sandrock?

This "Custom" version is a different design from the original HGAC Sandrock, as it is based on the mobile suit's appearance in Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. It features a more elaborate, sleeker design compared to the more militaristic look of the TV version. The key difference is the backpack, which has a distinct appearance and is designed to hold the Heat Shotels, and the overall aesthetic has a more ornate, flowing feel.

What is the articulation and poseability like?

The kit features the high standard of modern High Grade After Colony (HGAC) engineering. It has excellent articulation in all its major joints, from the double-jointed arms and legs to a flexible torso. This allows for a wide range of dynamic, action-oriented poses, which is perfect for a mobile suit that specializes in melee combat. The joints are strong enough to securely hold the Heat Shotels in various positions.

Does the kit require painting for an accurate appearance?

Like most modern High Grade kits, the HG Sandrock Custom has good color separation and looks impressive with a straight build. The plastic is molded in the correct colors of white, gray, red, and yellow. While the kit looks great out of the box, some builders may choose to apply paint or panel lining to bring out the finer details, particularly on the Heat Shotels and the shield's emblem, for a more anime-accurate finish.
