Hi guys, here is my current WIP on a [FG] Gundam Virtue. As you know, [FG] is the lowest grade in the gundam kits. So the articulation of the gundam as well as the detailing is very basic and simple. So my mission here, is to challenge the difficulties and add details into this [FG] Gundam Virtue.

I started with the leg, because it is the biggest and easiest part of the model. Before i scribe the parts, I drew the lines with a pencil.

Then I started adding details by scribing on the lines to create the panel lines on the surface. It's pretty simple, all i used is a common cutter. And here's the result, i compared it with the right leg.

Will work on the other side of the leg right now and keep update. Hope you guys like it.

Any Comments & Critics are welcome. Cheers!

thats a good start, besides the panel line scribing, you can make detail by adding pla-plate and put decal to stand out more

Thanks! This 1 would take quite some time, i will first substract, then only i learn how to add pla-plate on the cannons beams and so on. About decals, where do you think i can get the Gundam 00 series decals? Because this is an [FG] Model, no decal comes with it.

But in all my years of assembly,  never experienced a missing part such as the stickers.

yea, me too..this is my first ever kit that decals went missing. I'm not sure if seller took it or whatever. I admit it's my mistake too, for not checking the item. Will be more careful next time. I just bought the waterslide decal from Hobby Link Japan, need to wait for few weeks.

Can't blame anyone, just my bad luck, maybe. cry.gif
