HG 1/144 0 Gundam - WIP Update (Almost But Not Yet...)

I am very close to completing my long overdue HG 1/144 0 Gundam. Here is a screenshot to show my progress.

Made some boo boo that needs correction. Previously, a mod that I did for the arms, I accidentally modded the wrong side, and now a re-work is in order. I will most likely finish this kit by Wednesday...

Today's Loot (Why Should BB Have All The Fun!)

I am really happy with today's loot, as I acquired both the MG 1/100 Wing Gundam & the HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type-F. After seeing how BB (Plamo Addiction) got started on his Astraea, I just had to get into the fun of recoloring this kit as well. Hopefully, I can begin working on this kit this coming week. Update on that later...

As you can see below, my backlog is building up, and I really need to keep working continously if I were to ever finish them. As for my gunpla workroom (located in the sunroom of my house), I tried to clean up after each work session just to keep it tidy. I am very picky about neatness, if my desk is messy I can't get focus, so I tried to keep it as neat as possible. Some consider this a bad habit. LOL

My HG 1/144 0 Gundam is almost complete. Just need to do some final paint work on the accessories, put decals on and final flat coat. I aim for total completion by early next week.

HG 1/144 0 Gundam - WIP Updates

Had some time to work on my HG 1/144 0 Gundam today. As oppose to working on the entire kit, I am going to finish the uppor torso first, before I do to the other parts. So I was able to finish the panel lines & decals, and also applied the finish flat coat to the upper torso.

As seen in my previous 'Partially Painted' image, the kit was quite shinny, that was due to the application of a clear gloss coat so that I may effectively do both the panel lines & decals. But now with the clear flat coat finish, you will notice the color is a bit lighter (due to the flat coat), and that is the exact color I was opting for.

As for the antenna that is suppose to attach to the upper torso.... yes it is missing. Actually I accidentally broke one of them, so currenty that piece is in repair. LOL

Next I will work on the head...
