I started this kit way back in 2011 before I started my Mecha 2012 entry - so about a year and a half ago! Apparently I didn't bother sanding parts before that point because on my return to working on this kit the amount of imperfections, nicks, bumps and downright untidy parts I found was ridiculous. I did my best to clean it up but there are some parts of this kit I'm not really proud of.
Also, because I've had this one in progress for so long I think I may have rushed it a bit putting it together, and in some (luckily) unseen areas the paint has scratched off down to the plastic. Which is saying something about my poor sanding and I'm also going to blame the primer!
So here's my take on the Strike Rouge Gundam. I hated the wishy-washy dull pink of the original, so I brightened it up a bit. The white might also turn to light grey, but I'm not sure yet. I also though I'd give the hexagon thing a go to break up all that dark pink. Updates to come! I'll try and take more WIP photos as I go, really need to record my progress a bit more!
