Barefoot Jim

 Taking a break from gaming, I've decided this was the time I was gonna finish my Gundam models--mostly cuz of the dozens and dozens of shipping boxes that have taken over my home.


1/144 HGUC GM II (Desert Type)



The latest in my backlog of unfinished models--also my second Premium Bandai kit--the GM II (pronounced by some as 'Jim') is basically a widely available product remolded in new colors, like the HGUC Zaku II FZ I've built months before.  I've actually thought about painting this in different colors, but at the rate I was working on the thing, that would've taken me much longer to complete.


The following pics show the complete set of runners, stickers and the instruction manual.  Like with the Zaku II FZ, surplus parts and additional instructions are thrown in.







An item I've bundled with something else so that my online order didn't feel too light, I didn't care much for the GM at first.  But by the time I've built most of it, the mix of scattered plastic, paints and tools had become a permanent decoration on my dining room table.  One day I got tired of that being the first thing I saw when I got home and was determined to finally complete the kit.






And I'm this close, but I've got a minor situation to take care of first, mostly to do with some painting you likely won't see on the finished product; that's more for completion's sake.  Pics of the completed GM II will be posted on both my Facebook and X page.


That about wraps up this post.  Till the next one, be good and stay safe.
