RGM-79 'GM' assembled!

 

Ah.. finally completed this kit. I was having a little struggle with my work schedule and finding some time to work on this. Here's the final product; water-slide decal applied, matt coat the kit and finally, included detail paint on small parts from the kit (eg. hydraulics at the ankle)

WIP: RGM-79 GM Decal

 The stickers which came with the kit was very limited (in fact hardly any). I have bought the Bandai No.37 decals last year for my yet to build HGUC RX-78 and it so happens that the set actually caters for the RGM-79 GM mobile suit :)

RGM-79 Scribing Work

 The photo depicts the scribing work that was performed on the RGM-79. The scribing work includes the upper chest areas and the two panel lines at the crotch area.

Consider this my first Gundam project for the year 2011. In this photo, the parts have already been sanded, flashes removed, additional panel line added and part has all been panel lined. This is my first project which I have tried scribing my own panel lines on a kit. It can be challenging if now proper tool is used. In my case, I have used Tamiya's plastic scribing tool. Next step: 1. apply decal -> 2. apply flat coat -> assemble
