Bandai's Aun (Rize) Armor from the HGBD:R range gives model makers a compact canvas with plenty of detail. At 1/144 scale the kit captures the aesthetics from Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE while keeping the assembly focused and rewarding. It offers tidy parts and practical opportunities for small custom jobs.
The precision of the moulding means components slot together cleanly, which cuts down on extensive filling. The articulation is well thought out for its size, enabling dynamic displays without overcomplicating the joint layout. Overall the mechanisms feel secure for regular posing.
Colour separation in the sprues reduces the need for immediate repainting and lets panel lines stand out with minimal effort. The undergating treatment helps keep exterior surfaces neat, making it easier to apply a targeted weathering or wash if you choose.
There is scope to personalise this kit through small decals, panel lining, or grafting parts from other HG sets. The sections are forgiving for minor alterations and take aftermarket parts well if you want to push the look further.
Trim nubs with sharp nippers and refine with 1000 grit paper to avoid marring raised detail. A light Tamiya primer works well on ABS areas, and low tack masking tape is handy for the kit's tight panel edges. Keep a hobby knife and sanding sticks close at hand.
The Aun (Rize) Armor 1/144 HG is a neat pick for builders who want a manageable project that still responds well to custom touches and careful finishing.
