RX-77-3 Guncannon (Completed!)

 
Finally, completed this model. I must say this is an easy build. The parts are molded according to the original mobile suit color scheme. The rest of the photos are located here

The only problem with older HGUC kits are the seem-lines although I can see that Bandai has invested some effort to hide some of the seem-lines. Some of the parts like the head, the feet still requires some sanding. For the head, I find it too much an effort to hide the seem-lines and decided not to do anything to it.

WIP: Decals applied on all possible parts

 
Decals applied and part are now ready for a matt coat treatment. I encountered a slight problem when apply the round decal at the ankles. As the surface was curved, the decals could not set snugly onto the surface. Fortunately, with the help of "Mr. Decal Softener", the decals finally blended with the curved surface.

WIP: HGUC 1/144 RX-77-2 Guncannon

 
Started with the RX-77-2 Guncannon kit in order to continue with the use of the 1/144 Bandai decals; leftover from my last project with the HGUC GM. Decals were applied according to the instructions that came with the decal. In addition, the reference were made from Master Grade version instructions manual obtained from the web.
