MG 00 Gundam/Raiser: RE Update

As I said before, there wouldn't be many updates on this project and here we are, 00 is as done as it can be for now...  As you can see it is not complete, and that's due to complications along the way, yes complications even though this was a simple "pull it apart and put back together" job.  Now the yellow v-fin was already broken from a cat knocking it off a shelf awhile back, nothing new there.  Everything was going fine until I put the right arm back together after flat coating it, even with only 1 layer it was enough to make the arm unbendable and in an effort to break it loose, well I did just that.  With really no way to fix it, I had no choice but to order new parts, and those will take awhile so this guy is going away for the next month or so while I wait on that.  When the parts come in I'll get him back out, finish it up, and take completed pictures and post them.

MG 00 Gundam/Raiser: Revisited

Tallgeese EW is done now (pics tonight or tomorrow) and I've decided to take some time and retroactively go back and top coat/detail some kits of the past.  Some of these kits will just need washed and then flat coated, others never got panel lined even, so those will be more work.  I'm do this for now mainly while I wait for my friend to start his MG Crossbone X2, at which point I'll be building my MG Dark Hound with him in a sort of build off; given the X2 and DH are parallels it should be an interesting game.
So, first up is the MG 00 Raiser, one of my favorite mobile suits of all time, and we'll be starting with the 00 Gundam itself.  Working from the feet up, I've been disassembling each part, washing them in water and then drying them, and then finally taking them out for a flat coating.  Thus far I'm pretty pleased with the results.  Alclad II is a pretty good product for this.  Anyway, not going to be a lot of posts on this, probably just this one then next will show 00 completely reassembled, then the 0 Raiser and such.  Enjoy!
