Thanks for the comment guys. I really put all my time on building this kit, I really love the outcome of my patience on painting it. @no3ljm Yup! I'm using the rub-on decals that came with it but I'm also using some of my water-slide decals that I purchased some time ago. @qb hehe.. you noticed? I snap-build it to see what the kit will look like once all the parts are put together. I paint 'em part by part so that I can take my time on each part and to minimize my mistakes on painting. I'm almost done on this baby so pictures of the completed kit might be here either on wednesday or thursday night. ;D

first of all congrats on the bb08! ;D i know how bloody hard it is to get one. and the other thing, killer work on the MK II!!! hope i cud see more of your pics amigo. btw, when you use flat top coat, do you ever experience the 'frosting' effect. wherein you cud see white spots on your kit?

Actually, the only parts left to be painted are the ankle guards and the weapons. Unfortunately, the rain keeps on pouring during daytime. Hopefully, the sun will shine tomorrow so that I can finish this kit and move on to the next one.

Finally, I'm now able to update my thread. Since I wasn't able to update for 3 weeks, I'm going to post 2 of my completed kits. First is the Force Impulse Gundam. My second fully painted NG kit. Left and Right side views respectively. Force Impulse in action. Unfortunately, not much action you can do with this kit since it has limited articulation. Next up, the completed Mk-II.

Lab update 12/27/07 Here're the completed pics of the Mk-II. I actually got this kit finished last week but I was unable to take pictures because I have to borrow my sister's digicam. The Mk-II in it's full glory. Left and Right side views respectively. I really like the way the decals came out with the flat topcoat. IN ACTION!Go ahead... Make my day! ;D Box art?! ;D Now that this baby's done, I'm thinking of getting either the Zeta 2.0 or the God Gundam for my next MG project. Thanks for visiting the lab, guys! Until next time.

nice work on the Force Impulse ive always felt that this NG got the raw end of the deal compared to the other bandai releases. terrible articulation with seemingly rushed proportions design... its hard to feel the anime resemblance. with your work it looks more vibrant and alive than ever before. getting rid of those pesky stickers and adding decals make it that much sharper. thanks for sharing pre

Great work on the Mk II. ;D Very detailed and I love the box art pose. Go for the Zeta ver 2.0, IMO, but the God Gundam also boasts great articulation so that's also a winner kit.
