Haven't posted many updates on this project, and this will probably be the only real update before completion, but hey, anyway. The basic steps with this kit started with cutting out pieces, sanding the nub marks and test fitting it all together. It was then disassembled, all parts were washed. I panel lined the white parts with a mechanical pencil and gray panel wash. The color parts were painted with my newly acquired Mr Color paints (which are AWESOME, btw). All the parts were then clear coated with Alclad II Aqua Gloss (also AWESOME, very shiny and hard finish). At this point, the color pieces were panel lined. Then came the detailing. Now, I hate hate hate HATE stickers, they look awful! So, I purchased a set of waterslides from Samueldecal, and they came just in the nick of time, right as i finished panel lining the last of the parts. Spent the last three days applying a ton of decals to this kit, far more then i usually do. I am now currently in the final steps of the process, flat coating and assembly. At this time, the legs are basically complete, needing only the silver detailing on the back.
Overall, its been pretty fun kit, and i think it will look really awesome when complete, possibly my best kit to date. Its got a ton of work but in to it, almost master grade hours, so should be great! The pics are from various steps of the process, and of course, completion pics will be up when finished!
