Collectors Dilemma: HG 1/144 Seravee Gundam

Some pics from the completed kit. Quite a clunky kit for a 1/144 scale figure, due to the heavy armour of this MS. Face Burst mode can be achieved, the 2 GN Bazooka IIs can form the various modes as seen in the show, the combined Double Bazooka mode and attached to the upper GN cannons for the combined Twin Buster Cannon mode. Pity though, as the Double Bazooka can't be held in the middle as per the show despite it's rather excellent articulation.

Also, the backpack cannot transform into Seraphim Gundam, it's a chunk of plastic though there's a HG kit for Seraphim which is fully compatible with Seravee. Kind of hate the V-fin on the backpack, it's bloody loose due to a ball and socket connection. The ball joint is on each side of the fin and the socket on the red piece. The ball is slightly smaller than the socket and the connection is very loose, loose enough to fall out when rotating it from normal mode to burst mode.

Accessories wise, Seravee comes with only the 4 GN Cannons and the 2 GN Bazooka IIs. No beam sabers or additional 'hidden' hands are included though the HG Seraphim only comes with a left and right fist and 2 beam sabers with 2 long blades and 1 short blade. So to get the full 6 beam sabers.... you get the point? More on that later though, much much later...

Didn't use any of the stickers given except for the eye stickers. To get those parts to 'glow', instead of using the stickers provided, paint the area with a silver paint that is pretty reflective (I used a silver paint marker) and then paint the inside part of the clear plastic a translucent green, pop together and hey presto, 'glowing' parts. Do be careful though, as the effect is affected by how well the silver and translucent green are painted on and both paints must be dry before fitting the 2 parts together.
