RG RX-78-2 Gundam Completed!

After years being completed, and left forgotten (and in some places broken!) I finally decided to "complete" my RG Gundam RX-78-2. All part of the plan to get back into gunpla. 




Pics above are showing off where I broke part of the leg armor. And it's a moveable piece too =_=;; It was why I didn't try to fix it sooner. But I finally decided to bite the bullet and try it anyhow!. 

Second pic is showing the loose circle around the ankle. 3 out 4 of them keep on rolling over and giving me heart attacks! ^_^;;



I did finally manage to fix the piece! And after only 1 failed attempt! Yatta! 

What I did  was sanding off the broken connection behind the broken part and the part I was trying to glue back together. Apply Mr Cement, press the broken parts together and pray! 

And as I mention I failed the first time around. Luckily the part was still loose, pry it off and try again. This time I line it up perfectly before applying the cement. And it was as good as new! \[^_^]/

And as I was admiring a job well done, I saw the stickers, thought "Hey why not!" 

...bad decision. I basically spend 2 hours looking at the booklet puzzling where each stickers goes where ^_^;;









But I have to admit, adding the stickers really helped the Gundam stand out even more! While a hard job, it was well worth it to apply (majority of) the stickers!



Last 2 pics is the Gundam docked in an Evangelion docking bay thing I got from a Gachapon, I must admit, the Gundam fit almostly perfectly inside it! I think I'll use that as it's base ^^
