Christmas's Adventures
Real Grade RX-78-2 Gundam

Finally I have time to post this!  So basically over winter break I spent a good deal of time building my model.  It was the first real grade model that Bandai had released, a 1/144 scale with a full inner frame!  So when I got this I decided to go all out with a full body paint job, detailing and applying all the decals.  I have never spent so much time on a model before.  If it was just a straight build I would have had this done in about 2 hours but instead it took almost 3 weeks.

Anyways so I started off but putting together the entire inner frame without putting on any armor pieces.  I set them up on bamboo sticks that I found at Marina Food and stuck them into a board of Styrofoam.   

Here’s a picture of the leg fully painted and without any detailing

Here is a picture of the back of the shield fully detailed, it’s not much but I was pretty proud of it, had to draw all those damn lines in haha

This was before the final top coating of the main pieces, everything had already been panel lined and decalled

After it was all done, this was the final result!  There are some little mistakes here and there but I think I did a pretty good job for my first “all-out” kit 

Here is a picture of it the kit without decals (The one on the left)

And here is mine with decals! =D

Can’t wait to go back home for Spring Break and build my Hi-Nu and Deathscythe models =D
