Ezechiel, are you still traumatized over the Marasai painting incident? I think your scratch-building has improved soooo much, it's really quite amazing actually. Now polish up your painting like Mike suggested and you can be one of the Masters!!!
Looking at your GM-custom, I'm reminded of that half-finished project of my own...not that it's nearly as nice...heh

Thanks guys, actually I'm pretty much over the Marasai thing because since then I've finished my Dom tropen without too much problems. I'm more annoyed about having to deal with the paint mixing. But I know it'll look awesome so I'll get to it.
I'm off for a weekend in Paris with my gf so no update for the next couple of days

I did the boosters on the calves, added some details all over the kit, primed some stuff and did the clean-up needed.

Glad to see this GM In-Prog back in the land of the living!!! Like Major Blah, it makes me want to get back on an old half-finished project as well...
You are an inspiration!

Done some more, might be finished for the skirt. Or not. I'll see if I get more ideas.

What thickness are you using for the plastic plates? Some of it looks pretty darn thick.

Yes, here I used mainly 2mm sheet instead of my regular 1mm. The rectangles on the shoulders are two 2mm sheet pieces glued together and for the torso part, one 1mm plus one 2 mm basically.

I added some details on the chest while thinking of things to add...

That part is nearly done. The backpack and ankles need some work done so that'll probably be next.

Nice detail. The tie-offs on the shoulders look good too. Very delicate and breakable.

Every time I see you add a new detail on this build, I think that there couldn't possibly be anything more you could add . . . then you improve it with new mods!
Truly looking fantastic. Dittos on the tie-offs - They are a good size contrast to the larger mods. looking great!

I worked a bit on this kit:
-added detail to the ankle, was pretty bland and visible since I added some length. Also detailed the forearms.
-changed the elbows articulations, the stock ones were just ugly. I did something more like the mkII.
-started to mod the gun. Should be short barreled like AoZ's but with a grenade launcher.

i never knew a GM could look more bad-ass than a gundam! i am overwhelmed at all the mods! could you explain to me how you added those things inside the gun's barrel?also, what type of glue did you use to attach the details? i am amazed how the details all came together and are still coming ! the amazing part is that they look like they belong on the model, and not out of place.
