HGUC 1/144 - MSA-003 Nemo

The MSA-003 Nemo joins the High Grade Universal Century line in this 1/144 scale HGUC version from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. A production Mobile Suit used by the A.E.U.G., the Nemo is distinguished by its characteristic green color and its design, which blends technologies developed by Anaheim Electronics for forces opposed to the Titans.

This version replicates the original design of the Nemo as it appears in Zeta Gundam. It differs from the Nemo Unicorn Ver. notably in its color scheme and its main armament, here featuring the unit's characteristic Beam Rifle.

The kit offers simple but effective articulation, allowing for various combat poses. The shoulders benefit from forward movement, while the hip and leg joints provide sufficient mobility to vary positions despite the Mobile Suit's relatively compact design.

Its armament includes a Beam Rifle, a shield, and two Beam Sabers. The handles of the Beam Sabers can be stored directly on the back of the waist when not in use.

The shield can be attached to the forearm and displayed in deployed or compact configuration by repositioning its various parts. Several interchangeable hands are also included to adapt the grip of the Beam Rifle or Beam Sabers and to vary the model's poses.

Gunpla Zone Tips

The Nemo's characteristic green color is particularly well suited for grey or brown panel lining. A light tracing helps highlight the different armor plates without creating too much contrast.

This kit uses an early 2010s design. When changing hands or configuring the shield, manipulate the parts directly at their attachment points to preserve the small pegs.

To enhance its appearance as a military production Mobile Suit, some weathering effects on the legs, shield, and Beam Rifle can perfectly complement the Nemo's understated color scheme.
