Assembling the Bandai HG 1/144 Amida's Hyakuren: a satisfying High Grade project

The Bandai HG 1/144 Amida's Hyakuren delivers an approachable assembly that appeals to both new and seasoned builders. Drawn from the Iron-Blooded Orphans lineup, this High Grade kit stands out with distinctive paint-blocking and solid articulation. It makes a good addition for anyone wanting to practise panel lining, decals and basic weathering techniques while expanding a display collection.

Fit, finish and material quality

The kit reproduces the Amida's Hyakuren silhouette with clean moulding and well thought out engineering. Parts are made from consistent plastic that snaps together with minimal stress, reducing the need for heavy sanding. The use of undergates helps keep nub marks to a minimum, so cleaning up parts is quicker and yields neater seams for painting and topcoat.

Range of movement and display poses

Articulation is a standout feature on this HG, offering reliable joint range for dynamic stances. Shoulder and arm joints allow for wide elevation and rotation, while leg articulation supports crouched and action poses. Stability holds up well for shelf displays once you fine tune balance and foot placement.

Modding and paint potential

Amida's Hyakuren is straightforward to kitbash or repaint thanks to easy disassembly. Builders can swap weapons, add decals or try subtle weathering to boost realism. The parts layout lends itself to colour swaps and small scratch-built additions without major structural changes.

Overall, the Bandai HG 1/144 Amida's Hyakuren is a reliable High Grade kit that balances detail, articulation and customisation potential, making it a practical choice for both practice builds and completed displays.
