Now, the last part of the WIP for SD ExS.
The leg assembly.
Yes, this SD had a knee joint. You could cut a bit of the part that blocks it’s rear movement. Note, the yellow part here is the joint for the ankle. You could, in theory, remove some parts that blocks the joint so it can move fore and back. But then, posing still maybe an issue (might get loose, yo~).
The complete leg assembly. Also, socket for stands.
For an SD, the pelvic-thigh part is somewhat like some of the recent 1/144 HGUC kits. The PC part here is for sticking into figure stands, it’s a space-based MS, you’ll needed for it’s poses.
The beam cannon on the thigh can swung back and forth.
Seam lines are abundant. Literally all over the place. Then again, MC Model are using late 90’s style of molding, like my SD Cyber Wing Zero. Will all the rich details, it’s forgivable. =D
Y U NO PUT SEAL IMAGE THE RIGHT WAY UP?
Seriously, the manual DOES need some fine-tuning. Yes, I nearly did put the seals UPSIDE-DOWN.
Vector-thrust control baffles. Five of them?
I know that the ExS has four thrusters, but… I was stumped at first why they gave five. Until it hit me… *noticed a knife stuck to his head*
Lots of extra hinge parts?
Since these are small parts, especially the hinges, we might tend to lose them. MC Model had the foresight in supplying us replacement parts. Kudos to them. (p.s. I’d lost of one the hinges by accident, as it flew off when I was cutting it out…)
Check point! Note the part alignment.
This is where some people might get some issues. You need to ensure that the slanted part is facing up in merging with the baffle part (the one in white).
All done.
A magnificent looking SD, and it had took me great deal of time to finish it. Posing him can be an issue due to the heavy “school bag” and “water bottles” at the sides.

OhOoooooo… So that’s the second helper, Thanks for the order buddy, it’s been a long wait.
No problem, it’s also a long wait for me… ๐
It’s surprising the amount of detail the little squirt has. Even more so for being “non-official” “non-bootleg”. Very nice!
Lots detail, features and uniqueness, yes. =)
The yellow part for the ankle is pretty interesting.
So how’s the stickers? Are they better compared to Hi-Nu Gundoom’s?
Yes, maybe in the future thinking of doing that mod so the feet can swing fore and back.
The stickers/seals, no idea if compare to the Hi Nu Gundoom, but, they do give you water-slide seals. (haven’t used yet for mine)
The yellow parts remind me of 1/60 Gundam F91’s polycaps.
Ah another one of these “Gundoom” things, didn’t expect to see another one besides that Hi-Nu one.
I like this SD one, reminds me a lot of the SRW style much more than other SD kits I have seen.
Yes, ANOTHER Gundoom kit, as MC Model had done their version of (HG 1/120) Nu Gundoom, the SD Knightingale, this one, and coming soon, HG 1/120 HWS Nu Gundoom (totally beefed-up and steroided).
Like I said before, this guy needs lots of work.
They need to make a full-sized Knightingale based on B-Club’s Nightingale (of course, they need to make it bigger to avoid copyright infringements).
You’re kidding, right? Right?!!!
I saw my friend’s 1/100 resin kit of that and… That damned thing out-weights and out-sizes the MG ExS Sentinel in every way. And it needed metal support pillars to support the shoulder armours.
I mean a “1/144” (you know why I put those quotation marks in the first place) Knightingale based on B-Clubs smaller, posable resin.
Ah, the smaller ones… Yes, I do know what the quotations means. ๐
this looks like it needs a lot of cementing …. xD
If don’t like the seam lines, then yes, LOTS of cement job need to be done.
This is quite a cool SD. Maybe I’ll get one if I really want to challenge my gunpla skill ๐
And it has some modding potentiality, too. =D
Yes, this, really challenges anyone who assembles it.
It’s too bad about the LED, but school bag and water bottles? That one I loled.
It can’t be helped as the backpack and the extended range propellant talks are MASSIVE~! ๐
Quoted from a fellow reviewer, interesting SDs are interesting.
I saw an assembly video of it on Youtube and the guy said that the assembly is fairly straightforward, HG-level type of assebly (note: she didn’t modify anything)
Well mine the pegs are too tight to fit in nicely…
Wow, a really great kit, small and highly detailed ๐ these Gundoom kits lately looks very cool
Indeed. With a little more modification it’ll be more cool. =D
this based on resin kit after all so yeah the instruction is sucks since the original resin doesn’t come with any seal or stickers ^^ by the way do this MC model parts snap nicely ?
I did a search, and… there’s no original resin for this…
For mine, as from my previous WIP post, I need to sand ALL of them, slightly, so they can fit… orz
May vary, as some other owners have no issues…
Wow you are quite genius for an amateur modeller… quite creative and talented ^__^
Eheh. Thanks. ^^;
