How to make tighter RG shoulders

Hello gunpla fans!!! Here I am with another quick fix to a small problem most RG owners encounter. Some RG kits have a problem holding its own weaponry due to some weight issue. In this case, RG Destiny and relatively other RG kits having the same inner frames as RG Destiny.

Specially with the RG Destiny, he usually can't hold the Arondight anti ship sword properly due the weight of the sword. Studying the problem, I found out that the problem occurs in the shoulder joint of the inner frame. With the large sword's weight, it can no longer support compared to the beam rifle and other small weapons.


So here's what we will do...




What you need:
Hobby knife (X-acto blade)
File
super glue or cement
0.3mm plastic plate / stryne sheets (thinnest you can get)

Side cutter

STEP 1: Disassemble the arms from the body.

Dismantle the shoulder armor and expose the inner frame. We will focus our attention on the small armor pieces the encases the shoulder joint.

STEP 2 : Glue in a piece of plastic plate on the inner side of armor. gluing on one side is enough.

Snip the excess plastic plate form the shoulder armor.

STEP 3: Reassemble the whole arm and shoulder.

TEST FIT:


To test this quick fix, attached the Arondight anti ship sword and see how the shoulder react to the weight.

and Ta~da!!!

You can now have your RG kit carry other heavy weapons with ease.

So until next time :D
