Forbidden Gundam HG 1/144 - Compact Build Guide

The Bandai HG 1/144 Forbidden Gundam is a compact kit with a dramatic look, highlighted by a scythe-style weapon and darker tones. It delivers a solid build experience that is approachable while still offering room for detailed finishing work.

Reliable Joint Performance and Range

The articulation on this kit is well thought out, enabling a variety of action-orientated poses. Shoulder joints rotate cleanly and the double-jointed elbows and knees give additional reach. The secure part fit keeps the assembly tidy without extensive reworking.

Colour Blocking and Detail Enhancement

Colour blocking is accurate and reduces the need for base painting to match the box art. For more clarity, panel lining will emphasise engraved detail. Undergated runners help achieve a neat appearance after sprue trimming.

Weapons, Display Options and Upgrades

The Forbidden Gundam includes its characteristic scythe and shield for varied displays. The kit also takes well to customisation, from subtle washes to metallic highlights, letting you tailor the final presentation.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144

In summary, the Bandai HG 1/144 Forbidden Gundam is an accessible High Grade kit that balances ease of build with options for model finishing and personalisation.

Yes, the kit's surfaces are well suited to painting. Use primer first and thin coats to keep panel detail crisp.
Most poses will balance fine, though more extreme stances benefit from a stand or subtle weight adjustments to the base.
A light panel wash, careful decal placement and a protective topcoat will significantly improve the finished look without excessive effort.
Bandai often provides replacement parts via their service centre; check availability if you need specific sprue pieces or joints replaced.
