A while back, someone asked me if I built Gunpla.
Well, for something different, here my first Gunpla/Gundam build in well over 20 years
The Bandai High Grade 'Gundam Bael' in 1/144 scale

A quick look at the parts:

Started out with sub-assembly work.
The torso.
The little black areas would normally be stickers, I used a micro-Sharpie

The head.
The blue areas on the 'horns' were supposed to be stickers, but I opted instead to use Gundam markers
The eyes, by contrast, are the stickers from the kit

The sword pod for his waist, allowing for the sabers to be stored.

Separated the major assemblies and went in with a Gundam panel marker to bring out the many lines on the model.
I was very pleased with the overall effect.

Excellent work indeed,
I love how this is looking.

I've recently got into building Gunpla, here's a few pics of my slightly battered 1/44 HG 'GunCannon'..
