Built straight from the box HG - MS-09 Rick / MS-09R Rick Dom -

Bandai 1/144 HG - MS-09 Rick / MS-09R Rick Dom - 4

As its a little bit cold lately in what the news is calling "The Big Freeze" ive had time in the evenings to build this guy. Only dry fitted it and added a little panel lining but even with just that im really happy with the way he looks..

One of the best HG gunpla designs ive built and seen, hardly any visible join lines, which will make modeling this guy easier, also the shoulders are in one piece which is fantastic, no putty need.

Even has a piece of clear plastic which covers the mono eye, ive only seen that in MG and up, well impressed. Shame no double elbow joint though, would have been a nice addition with the big bazookas this guys packing..

Really like the military style display shot below, no idea what that kind of photo is called.

Massive beam bazooka.

Favorite wepaon from the entire UC, love how this bazooka is a mix of german WW2 and sci-fi.

Makes the Zaku II looks like a right skinny mecha. Did'nt realize how big the Dom was until i put it up against the one eyed green one.

In the intructions, there is guide about what was different between the Rick and Rick Dom, not quite sure if ive got it right but i think ive done a Rick Dom which i think what written on Katakana is the space type.

The piece of clear plastic which covers the mono eye is a nice touch.
