Mecha Joints: Great gunpla joint replacements
It’s a reasonable excuse for an old gunpla model kit from 80’s and 90’s to feature poor articulation because of the technology during the time they were made. But what’s great about this hobby is that you can make the model kit your own, in that you can modify and customize the model to your preference, and that is how you make the model your own. Now, let’s take a look at optional support goods for modelling by Kotobukiya, in particular those that you can replace your gundam’s knee and elbow joints with.
