Gundamaniac

boy! I must have been really stressed out to need to continue building the Musha this week.
  
a gundam without its legs… would always look like a SD gundam. ^^

as mentioned before, didn’t bother on painting this particular gundam. since me preggy wife wasn’t too keen on the paint smell at the back of the house (not good for the baby) and it looked good without painting anyway. although I did sneak off and spray all the gold parts somewhere outside the house while she was sleeping. ^^

did a bit more work on the MG Shin Musha Musket, didn’t like the gold foil stickers so used some masking tape to protect the brown area and sprayed the parts gold. also sanded it a bit to give the part some wood groves. they probably had to cut down a redwood to actually build a musket big enough for a gundam. ^^ on a unrelated note, why are the three musketeers called musketeers? they obviously more often use their rapiers rather than muskets. ^^

another reason why I ended up painting the gold parts, the golden upper chest area of my Shin Musha had a hairline inconsistency. must have been a problem in production since I see it on other people’s kit as well. And although its more of an aesthetic problem than anything else, it’s nothing a few spritz of gold paint can’t fix. pity I wasn’t able to cover the whole thing before I ran out of paint. ^^;
