Well the construction is complete. He stands, he poses, his seams are visible, his arms fall of if your not careful.

While the construction is done not all parts were used. Now normally this would be a bad thing but Gundams come with a bunch of parts the you may or may not use depending on the final pose you want to set them in. For instance there are a couple of beam sword blades that I am not going to use because he isn’t going to have one out in the final pose I have planned. I still do need to build the gripping hand that he comes with as of right now he just has the fixed open hand on, there is also a fixed close fist.

So now its take him all back apart and work on glueing him up and fixing seams before primering. I still to make a run to a hobby store for supplies. The main paints have yet to ship from Japan as they are on backorder, but HLJ says they should be back in stock by the end of the month. The set I orderd is just the three main colors, red, blue, and gray the other colors I will pick up at the hobby store. I plan on painting most of the dark gray parts like a gunmetal black if I can find something I like. There are also some yellow parts and I need to figure out how I am going to do the panel lines.
