Gundam Under Construction

Construction of my newly acquired Gundam model kit is proceeding smoothly.  Pictured above are some of the blue pieces ready for painting.  The nubs have been trimmed and sanded.  I chose Brilliant Blue as the color which is just slightly darker than the blue the parts are molded in.

Here is what the partially completed torso looks like.  The middle part is the cover for the cockpit which can swivel up to reveal the inside.  As of this writing, I have completed the head, arms, torso, and feet.  I have not kept track of the hours spent so far but I would guess between eight to ten so far.
