Rear view:

I already posted a pic of this in a mostly completed state alongside the Kiryu, but this can now be considered actually done. Mostly just a straight pallet swap (blue > white, red > blue, yellow to red), not including the stripes and shoulder armor. The stylized RX-78 emblem and the star field are actually custom decals I printed onto blank water slide paper, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Not pictured is the core fighter, which has also been pallet swapped. At some point I'll do a resin cast of the MG 3.0 core block and sitting pilot figure and replace the core fighter with them so that I can have the core fighter out on display too. Aside from that, probably the only other thing I might do is tint the beam javelin effect parts pink.

Looking good!

How did you print the water slides?

This is orders of magnitude better than those weird colors on the Target EG. Grats on the custom waterslides! It's something I've been interested in for a while but never followed through on. You know, like most of my hobby plans. >_>

Better than the American Gundam from G-Gundam! Lol
