Assembly
The bulk of the construction is the assembly of the parts. I've probably over-emphasized the amount of parts , but the majority of them aren't even visible as they are covered by the armor plates. Bandai did a good job replicating the actual framework of a "real" Gundam as much as possible, and it shows.
Below is the chest chassis, with tiny pistons that move in and out when the arms move. Nice detail, totally unable to be seen on the completed model.
This is the chest with the armor on. Note the small sumi-ire (inking) on the neck armor.
"Right Arm of the Giant"
Here we have the legs - one without the armor on, revealing the mechanics underneath.
These are all the completed parts, freshly top coated and awaiting final assembly.
There were some mishaps throughout the assembly process. Those will be documented later.
