And below are some action poses.

Thoughts:

I love the design after putting the whole Wagtail together! The only funny thing I found about the kit...despite it being a MS for close quarter combat, and having 4 beam sabers on it's person (2 on the shoulder, and 2 in the shield), none of them are usable! They are molder together with the shoulder piece and the shield attachment piece.  

And the GM type C kit doesn't help in that department either. Despite the GM type C having the beam saber hilt in the kit, the GM type C kit doesn't have the beam saber part! ^_^;; 

My solution? 

Use the GM type C beam hilt, find an extra beam saber part from my other kits! The beam saber part I used came from my HG Jegan. The beam saber doesn't really fit in the beam saber hilt for the GM type C, but I was able to make it fit by cutting some excess off and trimming it down. 

[WIP] GM Type C "Wagtail"

On to a new project! (Even though I still have a lot of kits that still need some work done on them too ^_^;;)

This here is the GM Type C [Wagtail]. 

It's a conversion kit. Meaning you have to have: 

1) The base kit 

2) The conversion parts. 

I got the conversion parts from the May 2011 issue of Dengeki Hobby.

 But due to a lot of RL issue, work, study and just plain laziness, I didn't manage to get the base kit to use the conversion parts on.

And two years went by...

But no more!

I finally manage to get the RGM-79C GM Type C, the base form for the conversion part. I would have started earlier, but the local hobby shops had run out of the GM type C by then. Luckily their back in stock now.

Below are the conversion part runner that came with the magazine: 

 So the runner are all white...lots of painting a head of me ^_^;;  Hope I don't make a mess of the paint as I always do in my kits.

 Above is the colours I would want to use for my Wagtail, but we'll see how that goes.
