PAINT! So this weekend I started painting. I am working on getting all of the left leg parts done for now. I have all of the parts painted, and all of the external armor parts have been shaded and gloss coated. So far everything is looking awesome, and I can’t wait to get started on [...]

This past weekend, and tonight were spent working on getting the arms assembled. The left one is pretty much all finished up with the exception of a few small items, and the right arm frame is assembled. The kit is starting to look even better now that the arms are getting closer to be finished [...]

So in planning for the massive 1/35 EX-S commission I have upcoming, I told the owner I would sketch out my idea for the base I want to build for it. The idea is to use two sheets of acylic, one clear and one a light blue, and fasten them together using some polished aluminum [...]

Assembly on this monster continued this weekend and the kit is not almost completely assembled. All that’s left is both of the arms and then its on to the gun and shield. The backpack went together well, although it does add a ton of weight to the back of the kit. The torso and chest [...]

This weekend was spent finishing up the final assembly of the backpack and some small remaining parts on the torso. After I had finished the assembly I broke the kit back down and started working on prepping the parts for primer and paint. The left leg is all prepped and the main parts are all [...]

Work continued on this weekend with the final parts of assembly and clean up. The last remaining parts of the arms and shoulders were completed, with most of the clean up and sanding getting finished. The next part is the back pack and rear boosters which are coming together nicely. So far I have one [...]

So this weekend was spent working on getting the torso and head all assembled. Everything fit together great, although the left side armor needs a tiny bit of heating to get it to fit 100%. The kit is looking awesome so far and is HUGE with the upper portion assembled and in place. I still [...]

Since the last update I have finished up basic fitment and cleanup on the arm parts and started on the shoulders. The kit is about 75% assembled as of right now and is coming along very nicely. I should hopefully be able to start painting the internal frame by next week if I keep up [...]

I made some decent progress over the weekend on the Gp03 and was able to get most of the waist section assembled and roughly cleaned up. The biggest part of this weekend was working on getting the massive side skirts assembled and test fit. Once I had them assembled I worked on the final assembly [...]
