About the Build \u00c2\u00bb<\/p>\n

This was my second MG kit. My brother
\nbought it for me for Christmas 2001. I took a
\nwhile to get this kit to turn out better than
\nmy first MG kit (i later repainted that one).<\/p>\n

I like this kit a lot. It’s got an imposing, heavily
\narmored look to it and is nicely proportioned. I did a little “battle
\ndamage” to the shield. This was done with a nail and a loghter
\nto create bullet holes.<\/p>\n

I shaded the kit with pastels and a brush. I didn’t
\nfeel comfortable using the airbrush to shade it. What was nice about
\nthe pastels in this case was that it gave me a “rougher”
\n“dirtier” look.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
