Been quite busy lately and not be able to update on my project. Im currently building an MG NT-1 for Mechapinoy's In house compe (OMNI Mecha). The goal of this build is to simply detail up the kit and change the color scheme. I was also inspired by the Real Grade line. So here's a summary of what I've done so far;

Armor cutting and trimming

Addition of panel lines

Seamline removal by carving and using styrene sheets

For the color scheme I decided to go similar to the G3's scheme.

Painted, washed and decals applied.
