Finally have the time and motivation to begin a new build, the Shin Musha Gundam :

So far, test fit has been done and beginning to make a few cosmetic changes.

Thoughts and suggestions are welcome as always!

Also began working on the feet and legs including adding pins to the foot and leg armour.

New update :

Finished the torso and thrusters. Ended up using aftermarket thrusters from Ako Hobby which IC pins were added to the internals. Only the arm shields, head and weapons left to paint now then I can move on to detailing :

Not too much in this update, just had a few snags :

Progress will slow down a little due to the fact I need a new air brush from stupid clumsiness on my behalf. I have also begun preparing the head and weapons for priming.

Nasty stuff happening there with you dude. Oh well, we all have our bad days. No where to go but forward. how long did you soak those in the window cleaner? Try also Max's tip on stripping paint using brake fluid. Works in minutes! nasty stuff that brake fluid. do use gloves should you decide giving it a try.

Those pieces only needed around 30 seconds at most before I would wipe most of the paint off. Some of the harder stuff and the corners etc needed some scrubbing with a toothbrush to get it off.

New update,

Sorry it's been so long. I seem to be addicted to Fallout 3 at the moment so that is taking up most of my time! ;)

Anyway, I'm nearly done and recently masked of the sword hilt and prepared the kit for decalling :
