Mcmodel RX-93 Hi-Nu Gundoom - WIP Part 1

I started work on the funnels first as it is the most tedious and time consuming part of the whole assembly.
Imagine have to repeat the steps 6 times(with some steps 12 times), you'll be bored to death in no time =_=

The funnels fully assembled and panel lined:

*The joints holding the funnels together were white originally, I've painted them black.
Notice how much details the funnels have? That's the reason for my slow progress of panel lining them =_=
Unlike original design where the funnels are pretty flat and simple.

Funnel in attack mode:


I've also painted all the thrusters in this kit with silver on the outside and gold on the inside.
Currently having gold and silver bling fetish XD


The upper torso, head and waist assembly are pretty straight forward, not much painting needed and panel linings are a breeze =D

*I've painted the chest air intakes with silver(again =P), which are originally dull gray.

The head's design made the eyes barely visible, lol.
You can't see from the photo, but I painted the eyes with gold instead of using the foil sticker given.
The V-fin and side skirt armors falls off easily at the slightest touch =_=
So I had them fixed in placed with Mr. Cement.
The front skirt armor are pretty loose, not loose in terms of easy to come off(which is not possible anyway based on the mount design), but loose like it tends to flap around unnecessary.
Still thinking of a way to make the joints tighter.

The tail stabilizer, one word: HUGE

*This tail stabilizer's design is waaaaaay cooler and more menacing looking than the original Hi-Hu's!

'Blinged' up thrusters XP


Legs, arms, funnels backpack and propellant tanks currently in progress, much more painting needed compare to the other parts.
I have assembled the weapons and shield but haven't panel lined them yet.
To be continued in part 2 =D.
