Practical build notes for HG 1/144 Gundam 00 Diver Solid Clear

The Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam 00 Diver Solid Clear brings a fresh clear-look variant to your Gunpla shelf. As a 2023 Gundam Ichiban Kuji Prize release, it is aimed at builders who enjoy clean assembly and display experimentation. Here are hands-on tips for working with the clear kit.

Handling the clear parts safely

Solid clear pieces look great but need careful gate trimming and light sanding. The material quality is forgiving, yet avoiding heavy stress and using fine-grit finishers will keep parts crystal clear. These pieces also invite interesting internal paint experiments.

Articulation and assembly flow

Assembly follows standard High Grade conventions, with intuitive sub-assemblies and well-placed joints. The resulting articulation supports dynamic poses and stable displays, with shoulders and elbows offering good range for action-oriented setups.

Display hints and custom work

To boost display impact, place LEDs behind panels or on a mirrored platform. The clear plastic can accept paint if prepped correctly, so you can create partial translucency or internal colour accents while preserving the see-through effect.

This Gundam 00 Diver Solid Clear offers a satisfying blend of approachable build steps and standout display potential. Ideal for modellers who enjoy lighting and internal detailing.
