BANDAIHobby MG Providence Gundam Seed" 1.100 (BAN215629)

Oh he a BIG boi, pretty solid not alot of loose parts. Had alot of trouble finding space for him though with all of the fins out and the beam attached, he takes up A LOT of space compared to your normal MG. But man he is cool, never watched seed and have no intention of doing so, but damn if that show didn't have some stellar designs.P.s you NEED to panel line this kit, not even an option. The level of detail you would lose out on by not doing it is insane.

Amazing kit at a great price I could not be happier.

Nothing like building a mini replica of the main enemy!Details were stunning and this was a nice build. The rubber hoses for the torso section were a little difficult to keep in place so that the outer back cover could go on but a little extra effort and they stayed.What I'm most impressed by is the weight dispersal, I really thought it would need a stand at first. But no, this one stands without one.10/10 yaas!

The design really grew on me throughout the build because one thing I really appreciate about this kit is that even though it's a Gundam it's color scheme is not the usual red, blue, yellow, and white combo. Its color scheme is more along the lines of a grunt suit but that definitely is not the case. Out of the box I was happily surprised to see that this kit came with its own stand (which I'm disappointed in) and effect parts. The build is pretty solid with an interesting gimmick of being able to lengthen the arms, legs, and feet of the kit but it makes sense for the arms given that the gun is massive (it's over 3/4 the height of the kit without the backpack). The only issue I had during the whole build was the chest. There was a point when I was building the chest where I had to basically disassemble the majority of it because the instructions were a bit unclear so I ended up putting pieces backwards. Putting the chest armor was the absolute worst part of the whole build because unlike the usual of fitting pegs into holes or snapping the pieces on you have to slide the pieces in as if they're some brackets and it's very easy to mess up and part of the chest for me is bulging a bit due to this. The weapons are honestly the best part of the whole kit to me. The shield doubles as the beam saber and together they are taller than the whole kit with the backpack on (it does make it extremely hard to put it on the shelf), the rifle is a simple process but looks great and looks like it really packs a punch, the backpack and the waist (there are 6 funnels on the waist and 5 on the backpack) are the most eye catching parts of the build and are also probably the simplest. All in all it's a very solid kit that I really love that I would put in my top 10 list...oh right the stand, the kit is too heavy for the stand so I have a tape measure to weight the stand down and your question may be "why don't you use another stand?” There’s a special connection in the back of the chest.

This is my sixth master grade mobile suit and i have to say it is my favorite! Perfect plastic quality and it is as advertised. A very intimidating gundam and looks so awesome. Providence is my favorite gundam in seed next to the strike and he just passed the great quality of the aile strike and that is awesome! Go buy this kit! 10/10

Well if you've done all the other seat frame kits This one's going to get really repetitive but it's good to have for a collection.

Got this as a Christmas gift for my partner...and this one knocked it out of the park. On the shelf, it's impressive and towers over his other models. He had no trouble figuring out how to get this guy put together, spent maybe 3-4 hours on it.

The concept is amazing but the execution is lackluster. The plastic used on this is super thin and cheap feeling. Assembly isn't very enjoyable. This is the first kit I stopped halfway through and put back in the backlog. Definitely will need decals and paint to make it presentable. It's just a boring kit.
