HG 1/144 Transient Gundam Glacier: Customize Plan & Assembly Guide

Product Overview

This document provides information and assembly instructions for the HG 1/144 Transient Gundam Glacier model kit, a customization of the Transient Gundam from the Gundam Build Fighters series. The 'Glacier' variant is designed to evoke a sense of cold, with its ability to manipulate chilling power to control the battlefield. The model features advanced Plavsky particle control, allowing for an airborne stance and powerful close-quarters combat capabilities even without its primary weapons.

The lore describes the unit as a unique modification by rival Wilfrid Kijima. The model's 'CRYSTAL' system, integrated into purple crystal parts across the body, stores particles generated by cone-shaped parts on the back. These particles are kept at near-absolute-zero temperatures, providing a source of power for its ultracold energy attacks.

The narrative also introduces "Team Lapis Lazuli," a team formed at Gunpla Academy and Nielsen Labs, comprising Lindsey Anegaozy, Yunta Aoi, and Gabriel Gish, who all use blue-themed units.

Weapons and Color Guide

The primary weapon is theGN Partizan II, a versatile melee and ranged weapon. It can compress and launch particles for long-range attacks and can also separate into two weapons for increased versatility. When successful, its attacks drain the target's molecular motion energy. The model also features wrist-mounted GN Vulcan/GN Beam Sabers, used for intercepting missiles and emitting freezing beam sabers upon activation.

A comprehensive Color Guide is provided, offering paint mixing ratios for achieving a more realistic finish. Recommended colors include Navy Blue mixed with Bright Blue for the dark blue parts, Gray mixed with Black for joints, Purple mixed with White and Blue for abdominal parts, and White mixed with Sky Blue for sensor parts. For safety, the use of water-based paints is highly recommended.
