1/144 HG GN-008/SA Chedurim SAGA #Gundamber

 

Manufacturer: Bandai

Scale: 1/144

Inspiration: 

    The MS Variations of the 00 Season 2 suits are some of my favorites. After having to make my own Seravee Gundam GNHW/3G/B, buying the Robot Damashii Arios Ascalon, I was thrilled to see Bandai release a model kit of the Cherudim SAGA. The commando nature of the model kit lent itself well to a camouflage. I had always respected builders who did Digital Camo schemes, but due to the size of the figure, I went with a stripped winter pattern instead.

Verdict:

    The kit is your basic 00 kit with lots of accessories, including all that you need to make a regular Cherudim. It is loaded down with weapons everywhere, which get in the way of the poses you can make. The pieces you put on top the knees seem to limit the bend, but are easily broken with not much consequence. I am happy with my color scheme, but I am still improving in terms of assembly and panel lining. 

The pictures above were taken with a Canon 6D Camera, with a Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens. All pictures were post-processed using Adobe Lightroom.
