A step-by-step guide to posing and displaying the Gundam Base Limited RG 1/144 Nu Gundam Double Fin Funnel Ver, from balance checks to clear-part care.

Quick answer

Treat the Double Fin Funnel as a balance problem first: build and test the kit with the funnels off, then add them only after you have a stand and a pose that keeps the center of gravity over the feet.

Why the Double Fin Funnel changes your display plan

The Double Fin Funnel configuration puts more visual weight behind and above the shoulders than a standard Nu Gundam build. That changes what a stable pose looks like: a wide, grounded stance reads better than a narrow hero pose, and the funnels need room to spread without touching a shelf or wall.

This is a limited Gundam Base release, so replacement parts are not something you can count on finding later. Handle the funnel attachments and clear parts with extra care during posing, and avoid repeated snap-on and snap-off cycles once the kit is displayed.

Clear parts and long-term care

Clear or translucent parts on Real Grade kits can show stress marks and fine scratches more readily than opaque armor. Keep them away from direct sunlight and avoid handling them with dusty or oily fingers. When dusting, use a soft brush rather than a cloth that can drag grit across the surface.

If you plan to reposition the funnels often, decide on one display pose and leave it. Frequent adjustment is the most common way limited kits pick up visible wear.

Step-by-step display and posing process

Build and pose without the funnels: Assemble the Nu Gundam and find a stable leg and torso pose with the funnels removed. Check that the feet sit flat and the kit stands on its own before adding rear weight. If it cannot stand cleanly without the funnels, it will not stand reliably with them.
Choose a stand before attaching the funnels: Select an action base or display stand rated for a 1/144 kit and set the height so the funnels clear the shelf behind the model. Test the empty stand position first. A stand that only just fits the body will not leave room for the funnel spread.
Attach the Double Fin Funnel and recheck balance: Mount the funnels, then nudge the feet and ankles until the kit's weight sits over the base again. Keep the funnels angled slightly back rather than straight up if the model feels top-heavy. Make small foot adjustments rather than forcing the torso joint.
Set the funnel spread for your shelf depth: Angle the funnels so they do not touch the wall, shelf edge, or lighting. Leave a finger's width of clearance around the outermost funnel. Measure shelf depth before choosing a dramatic spread.
Handle clear parts last and minimally: Once the pose is set, avoid touching clear or translucent parts. If you must adjust them, wash and dry your hands first and use a soft brush for dust. Decide the final pose before the kit goes on permanent display.
Plan for the 6-8 week lead time: Because this is a special-order limited release, set up the display area and stand while you wait. Confirm your shelf height and lighting before the kit arrives. Ordering early gives you time to prepare a proper display spot.
