Recent Gunpla Haul

My recent gunpla haul. 
Finally have some backlog to show off!!
Not really, these HG kits can be done within a week.
It's very easy to snapped and built a HG without putting much effort in it.



Also got my first pair of quality cutter in over 10 years of building models.

GSR MSS-41 made by 3 Peaks in Japan







I haven't really got used to these new cutters yet but as you can see they have long and thin blades that can easily reach into small spaces in a sprue and can cut plastic like butter.

HGUC Gundam MKII WIP 2

Finish snapping RG MKII a while ago, which also prompted me to do some more work on the HGUC MK II.
The original plan was to finish HGUC Hyaku Shiki first but the weather is still too cold to airbrush so it doesn't really matter.



In my previous mod, the arm still looks a little empty so I added some details on the joint and forearm.
BTW, only work done on shoulder joint was part of my original plan.


Also extended the shield a little.
That small shield was barely tolerable before I built the RG. Its size was just too puny and embarrassing for MKII to hold.



The problem of working on a model is that the more I work on it, the more work I create.
After finishing modding some small parts, I usually find more unsatisfying things need to be changed.  Not to mention all the sanding and smoothing required after modding...
