So lately I have been getting back into my GunPla. Currently I am working on the 1/100 MG RX 78-2 kit with custom clear parts. I bought this kit during my last trip to Japan as a time filler not realising just how good it actually is.

The engineering that has gone into this kit is amazing and the resulting articulation is phenomenal. Still at the early stages of this build but I am thinking I will stick with the clear parts for the left side of the model. I will likely end up getting the RG version of this same Gundam so that one will be full colour and maybe even get some detailing.

Before starting this build I started to research some more about GunPla as all it ever was for me was something I did in Japan when I got bored. I soon realised that there is a lot of info out there and many varying degrees of dedication to this weird and wonderful hobby. Some people, much like myself, just build the kits and decal them and that is that. Others construct whole dioramas or make their own custom modifications! Then there is the majority who enjoy varying levels of painting. Considering I have never panel lined any of my models I am definitely at the bottom end of that spectrum. After reading a lot of blog posts, tutorials, and watched countless YouTube videos, I have decided to give it a go. The Gundam Markers are currently en route from America (thanks parity and e-bay!) so when they arrive I will test my skills on some old boxed up models!
