Sword Impulse Gundam MG

Top of the Body + Decals




Sword silhouette
Just finished constructing the MG Sword impulse, straight build and a few decals on the upper body. I didn't get to put any decals on the legs yet... No panel lining cuz I'm too lazy and I only have it in this one pose so far.

-Quick Review-
-Positives-
Leg Gimmicks and Inner Frame
The MG Sword impulse is a pretty standard master grade model. No magical gimmicks on this model. Articulation is very good in the arms and especially the legs (the knee and thigh armor move as the leg bends).  Comes with an extra specialized set of hands to hold Impulse's XBAUWK long excalibur swords (which are really pretty btw) which are very helpful as the normal MG hands would explode trying to hold those things up. Comes with an extra strike module backpack connector thingy so that you can switch the sword module for something like MG strike's aile.
-Negatives-
Arm + Decal
A small negative would be that the arms and legs are connected to the main body using polycaps... which I don't really see  as a problem but apparently polycaps get really worn out over time or something. But the polycaps holding these joints together are MAD stiff so far for me... except for the wrist ones. which is a BIG negative because holding the excalibur will cause the wrists to sag from the oh so great force of gravity. 
-Verdict-
To me, the only striking thing about this model are the long excalibur's. The impulse's design was sort of plain to me anyways... just a sharper version of the strike.
