It was only delivered yesterday, but I was looking forward to it so I built it right away.
It's not a replacement for the Bolt Gundam, but I did get it to go in Hyper Mode.
When building it, all the parts are cut out from the runners and shaped, then attached to the handle.
From here, adhesive is applied to each part one by one with a spray gun.
Speaking of Mandala Gundam, it has a form reminiscent of a Buddha statue, as well as its distinctive bell parts, so I thought Hyper Mode would suit it better than Shuffle Alliance, so I finished all the parts in gold leaf to give it the metallic feel of the Buddha statues that decorate temples.
