(MG) Guntank, It has Started!!!

I recently purchased another MG to complete my collection, the Guntank!!! I start showing the progress from upper body to armoured upper body, and head too!!!

First of all, for this MG I started with the upper body unit. There were many parts involved, took a really long time panel-lining the parts one by one. (Above) the completed unarmoured upper body unit.

I painted the bullets, or shells for the Guntank, used 2 different colours, titanium gold for the lighter gold and gold leaf for the darker part.

The lower body part, didn't work much on it really, that's all I finished.

The rear end, a lot of detail, so much fun panel-lining. Wait, no exclamation mark, so much fun panel-lining!!!

A painted pilot of the core pilot, forgot to take pictures of the head unit pilot. Guntank actually has 2 pilots one controlling the armaments and the other the movement. But later on the system was changed and only one pilot was needed to use the Guntank.

The painted pilot sitting snuggly in his cockpit. The cockpit took some time to panel-line as well.

The view of his control panel, if you look closely you can see it in front of the pilot. There is an LED light that will light that up so it looks like a real control panel, activated!!

Now the upper body unit armoured on!! It looks cool and bulky. Bulky because it needs to make up for its low mobility, maybe.

Rear view, the painted bullets are covered but if the cover is taken off you can see them.

Earlier shown was with the chest vents closed, now I opened them. Quite and easy thing to do actually, with the help of the gear system in there.

There are these two things, maybe meant to hold his 2 120mm long-range low reaction cannons.

Now, the head unit covered with armour. I painted the glass top cover, no, its not actually glass. Originally, it was just clear. You can see the pilot there, soon I will add the frame so you won't be able to see it that clearly anymore.

The cockpit is opened.

This, is how big the pilot is compared to the upper body.

Now the head unit and the core fighter. You can see the 2 painted pilots in their cockpits.

The core fighter, this time with a landing wheel base, thingy.

Core fighter folded up to fit the core block system in the upper torso.

See, you can still see the shiny bullets. Now, continuing to armourize the lower body unit and caterpillar wheels, if that;s what you call them, or maybe it was tracks? Well, that's all for now. The progress will continue on the next post. Ba bye.
