GPB-X80 Beginning Gundam Complete!!

It has been a long month building this model, a lot of painting needed just to put myself at ease. But some of the details required to be painted on this model is ridiculous! I mean, the 2 yellow plates at the feet were supposed to be white all round except for the front, which made me think whether it was worth the trouble. I did not paint the parts anyway because white tends to take many coats until it will look, well, white enough to be acceptable. But, other than those flaws for this model, good articulation plus a very unique design made it worth some of the effort. It is quite a beautiful model indeed if I do say so myself.

One of the really fun parts about building this model is beam rifle. The beam rifle looked amazingly unique, and also enjoyed painting it, although it was quite tiring.

Well, that's all for this post, I forgot to post pictures of the articulation for both the arms and legs, the legs having significantly better articulation that the arms though, allowing it much better poses, however, this Gundam isn't really meant for ground battles, and from the anime only having fought, if I'm not mistaken, 2 battles on ground. I might consider buying Beginning 30, but that will be for later on. That's all.
