Last year, I picked up the model kits for the Gundam GQuuuuuX and the Aerial. I'm going to call GQuuuuuX Gux from now on as I still can't believe they'd name the anime and the Gundam such a long and silly name. As an author, it is downright hostile for your readers. I built the Aerial first and it wasn't too bad, but I will say the Gux was a challenge on another level.I started building the Gux last year and finished building the heads before I stopped. Just assembling the head and torso took an afternoon. I stopped after that and took a really long break before picking it up again. The Gux kit has really tiny parts and lots of teeny weeny stickers to apply. This is one of the more challenging kits to assemble with more than one place that has gotchas if you don't interpret the assembly instructions correctly. This kit is also harder to assemble than the Aerial with more parts as the mobile suit is much more complicated from a design perspective. I'm pretty sure no one would have animated this without CG with this design!
