A big draw here for me was how much extra stuff it comes with. That poor Action Base 4 could barely handle it though, it's heavier than it looks - lots going on inside. Also comes with a spare Core Fighter.

"Fat Cat" 1/100 RG RX-78-2

Some of those joints were so tight my thumbs were sore for days afterwards. That kind of works in its favor in the end though - it's an absolute joy to pose. Kind of did my own thing with the decals since the MG Origin ones I had didn't quite fit.

Been kinda absorbed in Hades 2 but I found some time to work on the decals. The ones I have, I bought for the MG Origin Gundam but I ended up getting the Fat Cat instead. I was surprised how incompatible the decals are, the RG design is very different. So I'm just doing whatever I think looks cool.

Yep, that's exactly what it is. There are hobby branded ones but seems like pretty much the same thing, might as well save the money.

And that's all the building. It comes with an absurd amount of accessories which is definitely a selling point, do think it's funny the hammer chain is just a metal chain too. Up next are decals - going to use some Delpi ones I got for the MG Origin I originally planned to buy instead.

Lots of progress, and the mechanisms of this thing are very cool, but man these joints (similar to the ones above) are really tough to assemble. I had to throw in the towel for the night because my thumbs were too worn out to continue.

Well that's a new one. There's one piece on the arms that is so hard to push in they have a separate piece whose sole function is to force it in there. I was super confused what the manual was telling me to do here at first.

Just realized it was actually 1 year ago today since I built my first model. I've come a long way but still plenty more to learn - the model show I visited today was definitely both humbling and inspiring.

Had to take a video of this one to get across the little fire burning effect in the crashed TIE Fighter.

And some non-Gundam stuff. The sandcrawler was absolutely massive.

Really liked this Z'Gok diorama but it was kinda crowded and I couldn't get a great picture of it. The streetlights, launcher vehicle and its eye were wired up with LEDs.

Stopped by the Torcan model show today, figured I'd post some of the cool stuff I saw there. The vast majority of the floor was dedicated to things like military and car models but there was a decent amount of gunpla and other mecha.

Doing some color testing as I'm thinking I'll start this next, once I'm done my current model. Left to right are Mr. Color 44 (tan) on white, grey and pink primer. Looks like white is what I'm going for but I was super curious how the pink would turn out.

Just poking at it here and there, finished the torso and the spare core fighter it comes with (there's another one inside). There's so much going on in there, it's actually quite hefty. When I find an MG Guncannon and build my Guntank all this thing's extra accessories should come in handy.

Got started on this one, this panel liner works really well. You can clean it with just water but my one complaint is it comes off a little too easily. I haven't done the RG this is based on but some of these panel lines are really wide - have to assume they are thinner on the 1/144 version.

Mr surfacer is never in stock so I tried out AK's primer/microfiller and have been quite happy with it. Comes in white grey, black that I've seen and is pre-thinned.

Some additional shots. I tried doing some streaking effects with oil paints with varying success. I really liked the effect I got by completely smothering a part in the paint then rubbing it off with a makeup sponge - cosmetics department is truly the secret weapon.

Fully painted with some weathering. Starting to get the hang of this. The model itself was a breeze to assemble, though it does kinda make me want to seek out one of those 1/24 older kits with a cockpit and Chirico figure.
