Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina RG

The undergating on the gold runners surprised me — barely any cleanup needed, which is rare for a plated RG. The Amatsu Mina's huge shoulder boosters actually hold their pose, and the build took me a solid weekend.

The gold plating on the frame pieces really pops once it's assembled, way shinier than I expected for this scale. Joints hold poses well even with the big backpack, though the tiny decals took me a whole evening. Solid Real Grade build overall.

Building this RG was the most involved kit I've done in a while, and the Real Grade detail really shows in the tiny panel lines on the shoulders. Posing it with the wings spread out on my shelf is the highlight of my collection now.
