Damn, that looks great.

Almost as good as me.

Slap on some paint and call it good. Why bother with panel lines or top coat? This hunk of plastic couldn’t care less about that fancy stuff.  I love you new/old RX78-2. You are the best chunky buddy and will forever grace my bench as I approach the end of my first year in building model kits, dolls, toy things. 🤪

Hahaha. Thanks

Any compliment is greatly appreciated no matter who it comes from. 😜

UPDATE:

Waiting on hinges for this one; they should be here by Saturday:

I have a transforming toy coming in that I have identified a working set of hinge joints that should serve the intended purpose in this build (ebay find, poorer than poor price). After installation, it's then on to painting, decaling and superdetailing.

Stay tuned.

Thank you guys! This project is fun and stretching my knowledge of some of the arts.

@derex3592 Your new bench looks cool! Not OCD though, just healthy!😁This is OCD (not mine):

@Papa Rat Great finish to a new-old model kit!

@electric indigo That GP04 is looking good! Are you doing anything extra, or building for fun?

@nightmareB4macross The lines on that Valk just look right! MORE accurate lines than the original Chunky Monkey it was. You've become the Weight Watchers of Valks!😅 

@pengbuzz I look forward to see what you do! Somebody actually brought one of those into our meeting this month (no hinges though). - MT

We have legs.

@MechTech The kit is pretty great, so you can keep the build simple. What bothered me the most (and actually kept me from buying at the original release date) was the weird look of the legs/feet. I identified the oversized ankle guards as the culprit and installed much smaller versions from a resin kit on my GP04. I also gave the knee vents more definition.
