Building the Gundam - 04

Second arm all assembled and ready to paint!
I'm continually amazed at how articulate the resulting build is, especially considering that this whole process has been glue-free; just precisely shaped pieces that snap together to hold others in place, create hinge joints, ball-socket joints, or what-have-you.  Crazy.



Checking out his arm, painted to match the first.

This bit is the pelvic joint.  Lots of joints in this thing.  I have a feeling that I'll be able to make him hula hoop in it...

Though it seems like he doesn't know quite what to make of it.  Once my roommate called it a skirt, he's looked at it differently.

  1. He is a badass machine of war. That is definitely not a skirt.

  2. It's more like a cuisse (thigh armor) (yes, I looked the word up).
