Been making progress on this MG MS-06R-1A Zaku HiMo. Getting the piping pieces set up almost killed my fingers. Decided to use Gundam Markers for the black on the snout, mono-eye, and red on the antenna because I didn’t like the way the water slide decals looked. Had this thing sitting in a closet since 2017. Excited to finally be building it.

Got the arms finished! The checkerboard and griffin emblems didn’t give me too much trouble, but I tore the MS-06 decal in half by accident. Luckily was able to line it up well enough to mostly hide it. Used Gundam marker for the shoulder spikes but my hand wasn’t as steady as I’d like. Still I think it looks good from viewing distance. Fingers feel a little loose so I may have to look into a way to tighten them. Starting the legs soon, and dreading the prepping of more piping lol.

Finally finished with the Eric Manthfield custom. Made it all the way to the end and realized I had installed a part wrong so I could connect the upper and lower half lol. Part of the checkerboard decal fell off but hopefully it’ll dry back into place okay. Sometimes the instructions for this thing are not your friend. But I’m glad to have finally built it.
