HG 1/144 Sandrock Custom EW — compact melee-oriented frame with dedicated weapon fittings

This HG 1/144 model represents the XXXG-01SR2 Sandrock Custom from Endless Waltz, focusing on short-range combat aesthetics. The kit emphasizes the suit’s melee role through specific Heat Shotel components, articulated shoulder elements, and multiple display-friendly configurations.

Tools and build notes

Difficulty: moderate. The kit assembles with standard High Grade techniques and includes several small connector parts for the weapons. Recommended tools are nippers, a hobby knife, and fine files to tidy up sprue attachments.

Preparing surfaces and finishing choices

Surface preparation is optional; builders may remove seam lines and minor marks before detailing. Light panel lining and a clear coat are common finishing steps to improve contrast and protect painted or detailed surfaces.

This kit presents Sandrock Custom’s close-quarters focus via weapon-specific parts and poseable armor sections, making it a solid choice for collectors and diorama builders.
