機動戦士ガンダム バルバトス メタルアース アイコンクス モデルキット

Building the Barbatos was surprisingly satisfying; the tabs click together with a very precise feel. The poseable joints let me display it mid-swing with its mace, which looks incredible on my shelf.

Took a few hours to carefully assemble, but seeing the Barbatos frame come together with the Iconx detailing was totally worth it. The metal pieces lock together securely without glue, and the final pose is surprisingly sturdy for a model this small.

The metal sheets are etched with incredible detail, though you’ll want steady hands and tweezers for the tiny joints. Took me about three evenings to finish, and the finished Barbatos looks sharp on my shelf.
