MG Heavyarms

My first painted kit of the year. I was hoping to have this finish before the new years, but stuff came up and a bit of laziness got in my way........
Sadly this will be my last painted kit for awhile as I will not have my gear to paint anything for the next while. I still plan to snap build a few kits, so I will most likely do a few reviews on them when I get them build.
Anywho, on to Heavyarms. This is quite the nice MG kit, my only complaint would be the ammo thread going from the gating gun to the ammo pack. The ends would keep falling of the rubber wire making it super hard to pose, which I just used some crazy glue and glue them on fixing that issue.
This kit also does have some issues with the ankle like my MG Deathscythe did as they both have the same frame. The only different is that it falls backwards and not forward like Deathscythe.
As for the kit itself, I stay mostly true to the colors with some minor changes mostly to the gun and the ammo pack. I also added a bit of gold to the frame outside of the missiles where the missile are painted silver.
Other then that, I basically cover everything else in my early post on this kit. I plan on doing some snap builds on my Zoids kits next. So I should have some reviews on them in the next awhile.

Anywho time for the pictures:

MG Heavyarms WIP 3

Sorry for the long update. With the holidays and with me getting ready to head off to Calgary soon, I been pretty busy as of late.
Anywho, this is the final WIP for Heavyarms as all I got left to do is the flat coat and it is all finish.
There isn't much too add this time around as this WIP basically covers the panel lines and decals sections on the kit.
The panel lining was pretty straight forward, and for the decals I tried using the waterslide precut decal this time around. I must say that they where very nice to work with. They are a little thicker then the ones from Samuel, but they were much stronger and the fact that they were precut save me alot of time.
Other then that I don't have much more to say about this WIP other then picture time!
