Nerd Builds: HG Dreissen (Gundam ZZ Ver.)

It's been awhile since we did a Nerd Builds post, but now it's back in stunning fashion because today we feature another one of my favorite builds: the 1:144 HG Dreissen from Gundam ZZ. I've never actually seen ZZ so I don't know much about the series or this model, but it's mass produced which means it isn't the principle mobile suit for a main villain or anything, but regardless, it the colors are amazing and it just looks cool.

Gotta love the box art.

these stickers are annoying and shabby looking...come on Bandai we can do better can't we?
wrist cannons, one of my favorite things about this model.

Look at that, the wrist armor retracts to reveal the cannons.

It's kinda like bellbottoms on this model, but a bit more intricate on the inside with extra thrusters.



This sticker also...so lame and it looks terrible. I should really just pant it yellow.

What a fun build! Besides the lame yellow stickers and the tubing on the waist, this build was great. Mind you this is a 1:144 scale but it will be bigger than your average 1:144 gundam because...it really is a bigger model. If you could stand them side to side in their original size the Dreissen would be substantially larger also. Isn't that cool? Once again the colors pop vibrantly (more than the Unicorn Ver.), and the wrist cannons give awesome photo ops, and it's just unlike anything I've built yet.

What do you think about the Dreissen? comment below!

Blessings~!
