NEVER miss Leg Day

Right as i said last time these are gonna be short.... ok everyone stop clapping.
as the title suggests this is leg day. this is where your inner frame painting suddenly seems to be worth it. also i find the legs to be some of the best articulation on any Gundam model.

 Best to start with the feet. theres always 2 different opinions on something. in case of PG gundams its whether to build the inner frame whole first then add the armour or do as per the instructions. 
There are merits to both but i go by the instructions so i dont miss anything.

Once you have the inner frame built its just a case of adding the armour


AS you can see painting the inner frame now really starts to make a difference. instead of just having the dark grey plastic on the bottom of the feet you now have what looks like worn away metal from walking around all the time.


 The legs go together really nicely made up of 4 distinct parts that allow for bending in to a crouch position and a thigh swivel.


 from here on in its just a case of adding the armour. ive also decided to weather the parts as i build just to brake up the build really. im using a tamaiya kit. first time for me but its working really well. ill explain more on that later


 this is the legs and waist finished. like i said these are gonna be short and sweet mainly pics
