W.I.P 2 - RG RX-78-2

 - W.I.P 2 (Update)-

RG Rx-78-2

Hey guys, its been a forever since my last post (at least it feels like it) and since then iv'e had quite a bit of progress on this build. Last time I had just finished painting the kit and hadn't yet started on top coating, panel lining or decaling. Well, i'm happy to report that iv'e not done all of them. And without further ado, lets get things started.

Last time I was waiting for the decals to show up. It took about 2 weeks to land on my doorstep but I was a bit busy anyway so I wasn't too fussed about it. Anyway, here's comparison of the water-slides with the clear stickers that came with the kit

As you can see, iv'e only used the eye sticker for this kit, everything else will be using the water-slides.

While I was waiting for the decals to show up, I decided to spray on some clear top coat to prepare the kit for the decaling and panel lining. Unfortunately, these are the only two pictures I have of the kit topcoated (I think I deleted the other pictures for more space on my ipod)

Next step was to panel line! Unfortunately, I had also deleted some of the WIP pictures relating to the just panel-lined kit. To make up for it, here's some pictures of the kit top-coated and partially decaled (using the water-slides):

For this step, i'm going to need the following:

Water-slides, cotton tips, a craft knife (box-cutter) and a small bowl of water.

Just wanted to get the weapons out of the way, they were the quickest to complete and it was pretty late at night so i decided to leave it at that.

The next day, I was pretty cut for time because of a sudden three SAC's being announced so I was only able to complete this much.

Well that just about does it for tonight guys, its getting pretty late and I know it's been a while since my last W.I.P and I wasn't really able to give you guys a proper insight on progress due to a lack of a progress report but i'm going to make it up to all of you and post up the completed kit and review tomorrow. That's right, its been so long that iv'e actually had enough time to complete the kit, to the best of my ability (relative to my time-constraints and laziness). As always guys, thanks heaps for viewing and keep coming back for more updates
