MG Strike Rouge
Been a while since my desk has been this tidy. Well, tidy-ish.
Progress after the first weekend of building. Head and torso done, arms getting there.
I, uh... Apparently never took a close up photo at this stage. Oops. Torso and waist complete, and was starting on the legs.
It stands, whoo! Now to just get the weapons and backpack sorted out!
Steadily getting there with the build. Rifle and shield are now done, onwards to the pack!

WhiteWulfeMany thanks! There's still a few things left to go (finish seam removal on two of the pods for the Ootori pack, apply waterslide decals, top coat, and then maybe a bit of weathering), but it's definitely been a rather enjoyable build!

WhiteWulfeAt the moment, it's a straight build with brown Gundam Marker (fine) used for panel lining. I've been contemplating the use of either one of the Tamiya Weathering Master kits I've picked up or some oils to add in some weathering.

Adrian ForestHaving weathered gunpla with oils myself, I'd strongly recommend a gloss or satin coat before applying any oils or thinner. Even too much Tamiya panel liner can very easily corrode the plastic and leave you with a crumbling mess!

WhiteWulfeA clearcoat of some sort (probably satin) was definitely planned if I do happen to go that way. I've had a few pieces get chewed up in the past with Tamiya Panel Liner Accent, not having known about it being hungry for plastic at the time.
