A Little RX-78-2 Rework

RX-78-2 Decals and Topcoat

RX-78-2 Complete!

Finished up the original Gundam with the other leg and basic equipment. Haven't built the bazooka (have one from RGM-79), the Gundam Hammer (I will eventually... but all those spikes... so many nub marks...), or the Beam Javelin (waiting on some clear red paint). Besides! Just the beam rifle and shield look the best. So iconic.

Decals incoming... eventually.

Gundam Gets a Leg Up

Small update on the RX-78-2. As you can see, got some face, some arms, and a leg. Just another leg and some weps left!

I've been watching the original Mobile Suit Gundam a bit. Why did they have to include the little compartment on the waist that holds the heat proof blanket thing... The damn door always falls open... Is it even that important?!


 
 

RX-78-2 Update

Progress on the RX-78-2 Ver.2 kit. Like I thought, building the parts I've already made from the RGM-79 is a little boring, actually a lot boring... However, still worth it cause the Core Fighter is completely new and neat. Great how it folds up into a little Core Brock.

RX-78-2 GET

Just got this RX-78-2 Ver. 2.0 MG kit in the mail today. Might be a little dry to build since the GM 2.0 is basically the same frame (except the head, waist, weapons, and a small leg armor on the front). It has a core fighter though, so that should be fun and new. What can I say? I just needed to have the original Gundam.
