1/100 MG Heavyarms Nearing Completion

I'm bad for not posting about 1/100 MG Heavyarms. I know, and I apologize. I started working on Heavyarms again full time around June 27th, with some good work getting done at the beginning of July. I am about 21 hours into the project, and the estimation is that the kit will take approx 32 hours to complete. Heavyarms has around 100 less parts than MG Wing Gundam, so that means less stuff to process and paint. So far we are looking at a value of $210 (as the kit is NOW) with $124 of it in labor. I have been spending roughly 2.2 hours per day, when I work on it, working on it.

I actually have an update video lined up, but I haven't voiced it over yet. So I will leave the post here with the most recent photos I have taken. The brass painted missiles and chest guns came out fantastic. I couldn't be happier. The only "pain in the ass" part so far has been putting the blue parts inside the chest, but they did eventually settle in. This morning I finished cutting off and rough sanding the leg and feet sub-assemblies in addition to the weapons system, sans combat knife. The gatling canon, ammo drum and hose have been completed, and some seam filling (come on, Bandai!) is required on the gun and the drum, but it is very minimal and will be a cakewalk.

If I spend 2 hours a day on the project, I will be finished in about 5-6 days, so make that around July 17-July 20 as the finish date. Originally, I had the target date at August 9th, but sometimes you want to work on the kit and finish it, and that means moving the date up.
