It looks nice--better than mine. But I prefer the MG models myself, and "grunt"-type suits, like GMs and Gelgoogs. They're great canvases for custom paint schemes.

Your gundam came out quite nice and hope you can get closeup shots in the future!

HI Mike, that Thor kit leaves a bit to be desired. I didnt like the base so made my own out of foam (rocks). Once completed, it shapes up well.

Yes, although the paints aren't quite regulation. While the HGUC kits fit together pretty well they aren't seamless so I decided to sand down the seams which made painting unavoidable. I need to go back and touch up some of the detail on the helmet then maybe we'll shot some more closeups. Thanks for all the positive comments BTW.
