1 word, horrendous. Its not the worse of them all, but still pretty bad in comparison to modern MG's.

Details were painted using a 00-brush with a sharp tip. For such small figures you need a palette to thin/mix your paints, 'cause you need to try out the right thickness: Color to thin=mini will be flooded, to thick=details get lost. Also make sure there's not a blob of paint on the brush before applying by whiping it over paper e.g.

Last step is one or two washes with diluted black enamel (after a thin layer of varnish) to bring out the detail, then carefull clean-up with a cotton-bud (just like panel-lining with Zippo)

My experience with sharpie, only the metallic sharpie (gold, silver and bronze) sticks, however they do not stick really well to the new PS frame.

Avoid normal sharpie to paint on the armor, it will be terrible.

On the other hand, I paint my 3.0 transparent head visor with normal red sharpie, it illuminates really well when the LED is on thumbup.gif

I've used sharpie for minor painting before, and it stick well. Just that for large area, not as even as gundam marker because of the tip shape.

its an old transformable kit, old and transform dont mix well. Heck some newer MG that can transform dont even go together that well let alone an old design. Sure its not the worse of its kind, but its among the worse thats for sure.

if u just let it stand there then sure it look ok, but other then that its meh.

its a very old kit, technology in it is crude, transformation is clunky, mobility is close to non existence, proportion is off, and it doesnt even have a full inner frame. Action base is out of the question since this was made before Bandai introduces action base (i dont know if the generic base connector will even work but even if it does it wont be very good). In addition, because of this the G-Fortress mode is forever grounded, rendering it pretty much pointless since u cant put it up into the air as it is intended to be.

if u r a fan of its design and can accept all the above then sure go ahead and try it, at the very least u'll gain some experience building an old kit. However its not an amazing build experience and the outcome may be a let down to some.

thats an even bigger turd.

no full inner frame, bad seam lines, sticker for color separation, weight issue, limited articulation, horrible hand design, ridiculously unwieldy shield, bad nub marks, confusing manual, bad proportion.

stay away from it.
