MG OO Gundam Seven Sword /G - WIP 4

Kick-starting

Kick-starting this build since it halted in May because of the astray group build. Since I have finished my entry it is time to get back to work on completing my first Master Grade kit. Starting off with the kick-start project is the left leg (no pun intended).

Same treatment of gold and silver was given to the piston.


 Next part to assemble are the hips:

There are not a lot of parts to make the hips and it is a very simple design. There is a mechanism on the hips where you can pose the gundam with 2 different height of legs. The first time I came across this type of mechanism was when assembling the Real Grade Justice Gundam. I guess it is to make a more dramatic mid air pose.
 
There is a simple lock mechanism in the hips to hold the legs in place. The nice thing about this lock is that both sides can be moved individually and they are adjusted by just sliding the parts up or down. Do take note that a bit of force it required to release the lock.
