This is a Hi Grade kit by Bandai, and is in 1/144th scale.

Cunstruction starts with the torso, 20200725_153617_resized.jpg

I'm using my alcohol based art markers to detail the pieces as I assemble it.

after a six month hiatus, and a Covid diagnosis in his household, my Grandson, Hunter, was able to come spend 5 hours with me yesterday, and we finished construction of the base frame of this gundam.
