RGM-79 GM girl nagato

my most recent mobile suit girl, made using a hg 1/144 rgm-79 gm, figma yuki nagato, and figma homura akemi school uniform ver.


the build wasn't super hard to do and only required some light modding work, I wasn't originally going to use nagato's head but I really didn't feel like using the one I had originally chosen (figma madoka kaname school uniform ver. which came as a package deal with figma homura akemi school uniform ver.) so I bought a used figma yuki nagato to use, I had also originally wanted to use the gm's shoulder armor but I couldn't get it to work so I decided to leave it off (I might try to figure out a way to attach it again in the future, but for now it's alright).

to build it I pegged the arms and legs in using leftover pieces cut from the model kits runner, the back unit was also attached using a runner peg (what I call them) but had to be sanded down a little to fit in the hole on the back unit, the neck piece was basically just put over the neck, the head piece and side skirts had their connection pegs trimmed down/removed and were then glued on, the chest vents were the hardest part as they were trimmed down to be a little smaller and then glued on.

all in all I'm very happy with how this figure turned out.
