Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Carta's Graze Ritter
This is the personal mobile suit of Carta Issue, commander of the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet in Iron-Blooded Orphans. The Graze Ritter is Gjallarhorn's knightly officer variant — an evolution of the standard Graze with heavier armour, a custom blade antenna, and a knight sword that suits Carta's chivalric self-image. If you remember her hot-headed pursuit of Tekkadan through the Earth descent arc, this is the unit she pilots.
Carta's teal, black, and dark grey colour scheme makes this kit one of the more striking variants in the HGIBO range, and the knight sword adds genuine display presence beyond the standard Graze loadout.
This kit is designed for beginner-to-intermediate builders and is a clean snap-fit build with strong colour separation.
The Graze Ritter sits on the standard Graze frame with upgraded shoulder and hip armour, and Carta's version adds the unique blade antenna along with the signature knight sword. Standard Graze gear — rear booster, battle axe, rifle — is all included, so the kit can be posed in pursuit configuration or in close-combat mode with the sword drawn. Articulation is solid for the HGIBO line and colour separation is largely handled in the runners.

What to Watch For
The custom blade antenna is a fragile single piece. Handle the head carefully during assembly and consider a touch of glue on the antenna base if you plan to display or move the kit frequently. The knight sword grip is slightly loose in the closed hand pose — a small piece of clear tape or a dab of Blu-Tack on the grip pin holds it in place for display.
Builder Tips: Panel lining brings out the layered officer armour. A black or dark brown panel line marker works well across the teal and dark grey, and a grey marker on the lighter accent panels adds definition. A satin or matte topcoat sells the metallic-looking armour finish.
Build Notes
Snap-fit assembly. No glue required for the standard build. Nippers recommended for clean part removal. Expect a 2-3 hour build with panel lining. Action Base sold separately. Recommended age 15+.
