MG RGM-79C

10/31/2017

This will mark as my 1st GM build unfortunately, on the bright side I got it for $18 from HLJ :)
Originally planned to enter an online forum contest at The Mecha Lounge, unfortunately didn't make the deadline.
My aim was going for a bit more detailed GM using pla plates and extra panels and perhaps a custom rifle !!
Paint used were: for the body used Testors enamel Purple, a mix of Gunship grey and low dose of White. Inner frame: Tamiya Gunmetal. Weapons: Mr.Color dark Grey.
Mostly tried to use the old Testors paint I had over the years lol
Due to excessive final Matt clear coat which I used Tamiya Matt clear coat thru the airbrush, there were some whitening and some minor silvering on few of the decals unfortunately ;(
Overall I'm happy with the final results although I know it could've been much better, but.. for my second project after being away from the hobby for so long..I say I did half way decent :D
Thanks for viewing.

Using plastic tubes to extend the rifle barrel, the orange part is from the Astray Blue frame sword

Using pla plates to extend the thighs

trying to achieve more of a Ka style look for the feet

The rifle is almost done, used pla plates and tubes to add more details. Built a scope for it and added a builder's parts lens on it.
Moved the magazine location to the front to give more of a long barrel M4 look.

Another look at the extended legs, still needs a bit more work

Added pla plates to the waist to reduce the play in there and give a bit more height.

Pla plates on the torso and some on the head to give a bit of detail
