Close Combat Aesculapius

This is a 1/144 Gundam Aesculapius (How the hell you pronounce that, I haven't the foggiest) in its 'Close Combat Mode.' It's painted using the Tamiya Purple, White, Sea Blue?, Gold, Model Master Dark Ghost Gray, Euro Gray... and I think that's it. Got a bit of a migraine so recalling things correctly from memory is a bit of a challenge at the moment. But, this is a neat model, but it comes with a few defects that I seem to notice in a few of the G-Unit models. The joints that allow the claws to be attached to the shoulders split the plastic, with or without the paint around them and the vents that hold the huge purple shoulder armor are sensitive to the smallest amount of paint and will split apart (as the right arm did). Small things, but if you're looking to screw around with this kit and transform it between its two modes, just know that eventually it will break and you'll be S.O.L. But, it does look nice and stuff so it gets a bit plus in that catagory.
