HG 1/144 Sandrock Custom EW — compact melee specialist with weapon-centric parts

This High Grade 1/144 kit depicts the XXXG-01SR2 Sandrock Custom from Endless Waltz, with design cues aimed at close-quarters combat. The model features Heat Shotel components, articulated shoulder sections, and setup options that reflect the suit’s tactical role in short-range encounters.

Assembly guidance and tool list

Difficulty: moderate. The kit builds with conventional HG methods and contains several small pieces for weapon assemblies. Recommended tools include precision nippers, a craft knife, and fine sanding tools for clean joins.

Preparation and minor finishing

Surface preparation is a choice for the builder; removing seam lines and cleaning sprue marks improves aesthetics. Panel lining and a protective topcoat are common finishing steps for added depth and surface protection.

Technical specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Grade: HG
  • Build Level: normal

Overall, the kit translates Sandrock Custom’s melee-focused profile into a concise HG package with targeted articulation and weapon parts suitable for collectors and modelers.

Joint durability is typical for HG kits; reasonable reuse and repositioning should be fine, though frequent stress on thin pegs can eventually loosen fit, so handle pivot points with care.
Some parts may be compatible with other 1/144 Sandrock releases, but fit and aesthetics vary; test-fit any interchange before committing to glue or paint.
The Heat Shotel parts include slender sections and small attachment points; use tweezers and a steady workspace to avoid bending or stressing thin tab connections.
Yes, the kit is a good step up from basic sets; it offers modest complexity without requiring advanced techniques, making it suitable for hobbyists expanding their skill set.
The molded details support small paint accents and decals; apply decals on a smooth surface and seal them with a topcoat to prevent lifting during handling or display.
