Gundam The Witch from Mercury - Calibarn #26 1/144 HG

Building the broom effect parts was really satisfying, and the color separation on the gradient is spot-on without needing paint. It took me about three hours to finish, and the shield bits attach securely.

The joints on this Calibarn are surprisingly tight for a 1/144, so posing it on the stand feels really stable. The molded color gradient on the broom is the highlight, but even the tiny panel lines on the chest are crisp enough for a quick panel line without much cleanup.

The color gradient effect on the broom and wings looks way better in person than in the box photos, though the gold parts could use a touch of panel lining to pop. Took me about two evenings to snap it together, and the joints are tight enough that it holds poses without falling over.
