Competition

I forgot to mention, I will be having a competition with my friend to see who has the best PlaMo building skills. The price limit is 2000 yen but there aren't really any other constraints. So, basically the only limit is the price.
Does anybody have any suggestions for a good choice of Gundam? (Even though I'm pretty sure I'll get the 00 7 sword.)

Wish list

The thing that I want to get for a competition with my friend is, the 00 Seven Sword/G.

First I need to save up the money for it, but after I save up even more, I will buy the Real Grade Rx-78-2 Gundam.

00 Seven Sword:

I couldn't get a good picture of the RG Gundam so there isn't one, sorry.

G-3 paint and inner frame

I did some painting, can you guess which parts they are?

In case you can't tell, they are the eyes, the camera lenses, and the vulcans.

These are the markers I used to paint these.

I used from left to right, an old silver paint marker, a yellow Gundam marker, a yellow Sharpie, a blue Sharpie, and a black Gundam lining marker.

For the camera lenses, I used the silver marker and the blue Sharpie.

Here is how I did it. First, I went over it with the silver. (this is obviously post-painting so I had to settle with a clear sprue.)

Then, after it dried, I went over it with the Sharpie.

The end result is a nice metallic blue.

I did the same thing for the eyes of the Gundam, except with yellow.

Then, I went around it with the lining marker.

The vulcans were painted with the yellow paint marker.

It is really nice of Bandai to mold them seperately so that you can paint them if you want to.

Now for some pictures!

Just doodling...

Generic action pose!

"Firing Vulcans!"
